Florists

I am going to visit some florists this weekend. I am making the long trip from NC, so I want to be sure to get something accomplished. Anyone who has used National floral wholesale or verbana could you give me a little review of how it is going with them and how the work you have seen rates? Suggestions of any other florists with decent prices would be helopful also.
Thanks!!

I just booked with Verbena Designs. I saw a 5-6 florist and liked her and her prices the best. She also seems to have a lot of good ideas and seems very creative.

Re: Florists

I absolutely loved Jennifer from Verbena...right now I'm choosing between them and In Full Bloom in Farmingdale. Out of all the florists I've seen I liked these two because they were very creative and focus on 1 wedding a day.

Re: Florists

George at Signature Florist. i'm spending about 1500... including centerpieces, church decorations, mine and Bm bouquets, guys' boutonnieres (had to look up that spelling! lol), rose petals for tossing and cake/placecard table, cake flowers, mom and FMIL corsages, toss bouquet, etc. He was the second florist I went to, and he was at least a thousand less than what the other place wanted to charge me! He's great to work with. Good luck!

Re: Florists

Anybody have any reviews on Pedestals? I booked an appointment with them for next week. And, because everyone is raving about Flower Michele, I'm going to book an appointment with them too :)

Re: Florists

I went to both Flower Michelle and Pedistals - they have a little different style. I met with Mike at Flower Michelle - I was not impressed by him but I hear John is awsome so make an appt with him. When I went to pedestals I met with Marcello and she was able to see my vision - I can not recommend this vendor enough. She pulled all sorts of flowers for me so I could see the combinations - it was a fab time. Also, I was going to make my own centerpeices and Pedestals offered me a better deal than if I had made them myself!!! Better price than other 'affordable' florists offered me and I called all over. They are a little more expensive than other florists but I got everything for a steal because I negotiated and they were willing to work within my budget. Enjoy - this is a fun vendor.
