HELP ME PICK FLOWERS w/ POLL

OK so I'm kinda torn between 3 florists...I need opinions:

1. Flower Michele- love their designs. Thought a few things were a little pricey but overall found them fair. Met with Barbara.

2. Verbena- LOVE them! Had a sample CP appointment with Jen and loved it. She really got what I wanted to do and it was actually even nicer than I expected. Plus they're ORGANIC!!!! Which is a HUGE plus for me!!!

3. LA Blossoms- Met with Laurie yesterday and loved her. I haven't gotten prices yet but she was really great and was very creative. My FBIL and FSIL are using them for their wedding this August.

OK so thats it.....please help...I really would like to make a decision soon. My budget is not that large so its kinda tough. I've met with more than a dozen florists so I don't want to look anymore...if anyone has any experiences they could share it would be most appreciated...THANKS LADIES!!!

I voted for Verbena b/c you seemed to really like their work and their business approach. I've seen other weddings with them that have been beautiful.

Re: HELP ME PICK FLOWERS w/ POLL

I'd say Verbena.. From your description, it seems like you were very happy with their work and you like the people you were working with.

Verbena all the way!

loved the sample she did [OH FFFFFCK i forgot to upload them last night sorry]

and the price was perfect.

Granted, I didnt see the other 2, but I think the organic fact rules over all

Re: HELP ME PICK FLOWERS w/ POLL

I voted Verbena. I went to all 3 of those florists and I loved Jen. She just 'gets it' like you said. Plus, they only do one affair per day which is a HUGE plus in my book.

I voted for Verbena b/c you seemed to really like their work and their business approach. I've seen other weddings with them that have been beautiful.

Ditto!!! You silly girl... This reminds me of the poll you posted about FF and LE. Clearly you LOVED FF.

Clearly you LOVE Verbena!

I don't know anything about the other florists but I used Flower Michelle for my wedding. John is really sweet and wonderful to work with. Their flowers were nice, the 1 Centerpiece I got was gorgeous! But I was a little dissapointed with my bouquet.....
XOXOXO

I Vote for Verbena, I didn't use her but I was very close to hire her as my florist. I think she is very nice and I love her work. Resonable price too.
