So far we have looked at Pedestals, Simply Elegant and Flowers By Brian. We weren`t too crazy about Simply Elegant as we did not think they were as helpful or curbed or tastes as much as Flowers By Brian. For example, we must have thrown about 20 different flowers we wanted to use in our centerpiece. Instead of vetoing some of them and helping to steer us in the right direction she just wrote them all down. I didn`t like that. Their prices are also a little more expensive. Pedestals misplaced our paperwork although in fairness Danny seemed wonderful. We really like Flowers By Brian and are going to book with them. They had some great ideas and we wound up with ideas we never would have thought of. My FI even got involved and researched all types of flowers available in October and what he liked too! How cute is that? If you want to see some of Flowers By Brian`s work, they are doing all the flowers on the Regis and Kelly Wedding shows this week. Flowers By Brian also supplies all the flowers at Fox Hollow where we are getting married and they always look gorgeous (even though they are not a house vendor there). FYI - Flowers By Brian and Pedestals were the same price. Good Luck!

Thanks Angie its funny, I heard from some brides that flowers by brian were not so good. I dont know who to go w/ yet, I think pedestals is always busy, did they find your paperwork? My inlaws felt pedestals had a factory atmosphere yet I liked them better thanks for the input hopefully I will decide w/in a week

They never found our paperwork. What i really didn't like about that was that the initial qoute they gave us was for more money! The second time we went we asked for the exact same thing and it was $250 less. Why the difference? Weird thing though is that if i had to choose between SElegant and Pedestals, I would go with Pedestals for their creativity. (They are currently rebuilding though right now and we were worried about future things getting 'lost' or 'misplaced.') My friend used Pedestals and her flowers were wonderful though. Sometimes its just a personality mix as to whether or not you like a vendor. Sometimes it can be an age thing too as to what makes you feel comfortable (Danny seemed a little too young to me). Let me know who you pick. Try Flowers By Brian though if for no other reason than creative input. If you like what they say, they will give you a written qoute (you do not sign it... it's just for your records) which you can them really compare with Pedestals prices. Pedestals does not give you a qoute to take with you. Good Luck!
