Re: How many florists did you visit
We looked a 3 florists, Pedestals, Flower Michele and a friend of my in-laws.
We decided on Flower Michele - he was the ONLY one who got us excited over flowers!

Re: How many florists did you visit
I only went to 2. The more choices I gove myself, the harder it is for me to decide! Also, I happened to really love the florists work at my decided florist (Flowers by Liz) so that helped me a lot!

Re: How many florists did you visit
I went to 3, one didn't have the candelabra's wven though i loved her work, one was too expensive so I went with Burton's, I heard great things about them, from friends, and I liked the price, and that I could get any flower.

Re: How many florists did you visit
I went to three or four. I can't remember. But Flower Michele was my second visit and nothing compared so I called the next day and booked him.

Re: How many florists did you visit
2 - Wicks and Milleridge Florist. When we went to Milleridge, I fell in love with the people there - they were incredibly helpful and knowledgable, plus it looked like they loved their jobs. So I picked them.

Re: How many florists did you visit
4 - Flower Michele, Burtons, James Cress, & Flowers by Rosemarie.
Booked Flower Michele - John made me feel like my wedding was special, and he worked off my ideas rather than ignoring them (James Cress) or treating me like a number (Burtons).

Re: How many florists did you visit
3....Pedestals (most expensive)..Flower Michele (LOVED THIS MAN!!)..and Burtons (was a little cheaper and was offering more roses in our centerpieces for less money)
I still loved John from Flower Michele and would recommend him in a second even though our flowers came out beautiful from Burtons.

Re: How many florists did you visit
2-Went to Burton's and Bunny's
We booked Burton's because Bunny's gave us a price that was twice as much as Burton's for the same exact flowers!!!!!! We had heard only great things about Burton's so we didn't feel it was necessary to continue looking further.

Re: How many florists did you visit
Burtons... too quick and non-specific for me. (half the price of flowers by michele) Florissima.. I dealt with lia, nice but I felt a little over the top and was not sure it would be the right fit( $300 more than flowers by michele)
Booked Flower Michele loved john...
