I booked Flower michele. I loved them and felt so comfortable with John. He seemed like he really cared about what I wanted and what would go best with my wedding. Very personalized.

I went to over 15 florists and I went with John too. I felt the most comfortable with him and I loved his work. My Fh also liked him which I thought was really important. Good luck.

Re: Burtons or Florisan or Flowers by Michele?

I went with Burtons, they have fantastic prices, and were highly recommended by my FSIL. She used them for her wedding and got many compliments. All of her friends have used them as well and had nothing but good things to say. This being said, I went on a recommendation and I didn't look anywhere else.

Re: Burtons or Florisan or Flowers by Michele?

Burtons has good prices... Flower Michele flowers are gorgeous... I would not recommend National Wholesale florist... I had a bad experiecne with them... as have other birdes on this site...

But I am sure you will hear that with all vendors.

Re: Burtons or Florisan or Flowers by Michele?

After hearing sooooo many positive comments about Flower Michele, I met with them last week. I was completely disappointed. The guy we met with seemed so disinterested. He mistakenly switched his schedule around and only gave us 20 minutes of his time. Not to mention he practically went through his whole 'speech' before FH even got there (he didn't wait for FH to arrive b/c the guy was running behind with his schedule). To make matters worse, I was telling his what I wanted and he was switching flowers around. The man did not listen to me...poor poor poor service. What a disappointment.

Needless to say, we will not be going with Flower Michele.

When did you go? John has been on vacation for 2 weeks so maybe it was kind of hectic in there, try again

I went on a Friday evening and the guy (wasn't John) said his last appointment canceled and then someone came in as if they never canceled. He told them that he'd be with them in about 20 minutes. From my experience with other florists, my appointments have been at least 1 to 2 hours (obviously 2 hours going into extensive floral detail). I gave them a chance but I can't waste anymore time. I have to book hopefully by next weekend. I think booking a florist has been the hardest and most aggravating task in this whole planning process!

Re: Burtons or Florisan or Flowers by Michele?

I think you met with Mike. I had an apt last week when john was out on vacation. we met with Mike in his absence, and I have to be honest with you it was a great apt. I was dissapointed at first that i wasn't going to meet with john, but honestly i have no complaints with mike, actually i was impressed!!!....maybe it was just bad timing...

good luck!!
