FH and I r in super wedding mode!! need of help though..

OK so FH and I finally decided that after the year mark we need to get out butts in shape and plan this wedding, the thing is every vendor ive gone 2 ive narrowed it down to 2 for each....im torn between FineArt and Patken, i love them both but cant decide. Ive seen alot of Patken's work so im curious to see and hear about anyone who has used FineArt <--def fell in love w/ what they had to offer but like i said did not hear much from other brides about them. With florists im soo pissed, FMIL came w/ us and booked right on the spot w/ a Florist in Huntington....thing is i wanted to go and make appts w/ the house florists from Jericho Terrace. I only left a small deposit sooo im sure i can still chk out other places. We went w/ Burtons for the florist, but again im curious to hear if anyone has used them or no of anyone who has used them, and also who has gone to Pedestals/Flowers by Brian/Flower Michelle??? I'm sooo torn b.c i feel like a sucker w/ every vendor i go to b/c i love it all!! I have to start making a decision. I need all the help i can get...thanks girls!

Re: FH and I r in super wedding mode!! need of help though..

I have never heard of FineArt but I know that lots of girls have used Patken, and I've seen plenty of reviews on all of the florists you mentioned.

If you do a search on the Bride's Review for any of those names, I think you'll find lots of reviews on all of them.

They all have a great reputation!

Re: FH and I r in super wedding mode!! need of help though..

Here is my 2 cents. I know NOTHING about ********. Sooooo many of my friends used Patken and it is my feeling that it really depends on the photographer you get there. Some of my friends had great pics and others I just wasn't impressed with.

As for flowers, I am using Flower Michele and love them, but I have also heard great things about Pedastals and Burtons. I think you will be fine no matter who you pick, they are all well known popular vendors, again I would just make sure you know who your photog is from Patken before you book with them

Good Luck

Re: FH and I r in super wedding mode!! need of help though..

i really liked burton's and almost booked but i met with the house florist for my RH yesterday, and it was not only cheaper but they were so nice and sat with me for an hour showing me all different boks and centerpieces. So I'm most likely going to book with them. I would have definitely booked burton's but the RH florist is doing our CPs anyway so i wanted to check them out.

my cousin is using Patken and she loves them; her wedding is in early march so i can let you know after the fact how the pics come out.

good luck!!

Re: FH and I r in super wedding mode!! need of help though..

I went to all those florists and I choose Pedestals allllllll the way!!!!

Re: FH and I r in super wedding mode!! need of help though..

my best friend used ******** and they were AMAZING!!! A little too pricey for my budget but her pics came out awesome and they were so personable the day of... i was very impressed.
flowers by burton.. my family had a bad exp with. my sister used them for her wedding and while her boKs were gorgeous, they fell apart and were wilting before we even walked down the aisle. I ended up booking pedestals. i've heard great things about them
Interesitng that the name FINEART didnt come through and was asterisked
