I used them and loved them... the flowers were awsome and lasted a long time after.... they were very accomodating to my needs and put little extras where they felt were needed...

Yes. I posted it up on this thread, but somehow it got deleted.

The last appt I went to (January 31) she told me that they were moving up the block. They'll be on a corner location. She said they were aiming for March.

I spoke with Anna last night and she said they are aiming to complete the move by March 7th.

Re: OFFICIAL National Floral Wholesale THREAD!

Re-post from my review - my biggest piece of advice-get in writing the specific number of flowers to be used in your bouquets - other than that the other issues were out of my control.

NATIONAL FLORAL WHOLESALE 7.5
The centerpieces were beautiful, I really loved them. My BM's bouquets were very pretty but small. They delivered the flowers on time. They did call from the church and stir up some drama with my MIL - saying they couldn't deliver the flowers because of a funeral, but we had told them before to leave them in the back of the church if this was the case - this should have been told to the delivery person, if people were sitting in the back row than he should have figured it out by himself to leave them in the vestibule or something. The rest of the flowers were nice but some of my bouquet flowers were browning on the edges and looked wilted, they forgot my Grandmother's corsage, so it ended up going to the reception hall and she didn't get it until the reception was almost over, the flower arrangements for the church looked sparse, they were supposed to scatter petals on all the tables at the WM but didn't, they were supposed to decorate the cake but didn't (they were there before the cake arrived but didn't leave the picture we gave them). I noticed the bout's (3 out of 6) falling apart after only a few hours (like after the church) which surprised me, but maybe that is normal? My mom's corsage should have been a pin on but it was a wristlet-no biggie but still not what we asked for. I also expected the bouquets to be bigger - especially mine - this is probably my fault for not being specific and doing more research with pictures, etc. This was the only vendor we expected to be wowed by, but weren't. I am not a picky person and I am sure no one else noticed these things but me and DH, but still, we both were aware that we were not impressed.
