We met with their floral designer who was very nice but his prices were ridiculous. We're paying the same price they proposed for SO MUCH MORE with the florist we ultimately ended up booking. Definitely talk to them but make sure you shop around first.

Re: Fox Hollow's Florist

We had a .... most unusual experience with him.

When we arrived for our appointment, he had already gone home for the night. He was called back in and when he returned, he appeared annoyed and rushed through our appointment. He mentioned at least three times to us that we were 'taking [him] away from his lambchops.'

At that point, we were unsure as to what direction we were going in with our flowers. He did not offer any suggestions, just showed us photos of past work and kept saying over and over that he could copy anything that we wanted.

He then took us for a walk out back to where the loose flowers are kept. He was rude and made a few unpleasant remarks about the type of guys who help him in his shop. (I won't go into what kind of remark he made.)

However, if you look around Fox Hollow, the floral arrangements are simply beautiful. His work speaks for itself. People skills (or lack thereof) aren't always an indicator of what someone's work is like. If you have the time, I would head out there for an appointment.

Re: Fox Hollow's Florist

JMO, but I wasn't crazy about them. Granted, my conversation was brief, and only once, but since I'm getting married at FH, they charge an extra $500 which includes flowers for the ceremony. I saw one set up and wasn't crazy about the way it looked. Some of the flowers looked almost dead and when I asked what type of flowers I'd get, they just said, 'white.' They didn't offer any options and couldn't even tell me what kind of white flowers they give. But, I figured maybe it was just this one set-up that the flowers - IMO - looked bad. So at another point, when I met with my BM, I asked him about flowers again and told him my thoughts. He was surprised and brought the florist up, who came with a small bunch of the flowers that would be included. Those too, looked almost dead.

But, in their defense, I've seen some beautiful pictures with their flowers.

Re: Fox Hollow's Florist

I used them and was fairly satisfied with everything. Working with them before the wedding was fantastic, day of they were very good, and afterwards they provided very good customer service to make up for the things that went wrong.

More detailed information is in my review.
