Re: OFFICIAL National Floral Wholesale THREAD!
I wish I had pics to post! I am using National Floral for my personal flowers. Anna the floral designer showed me all of the flowers that will be in my bo-k's. They have gorgeous flowers especially the black magic roses. I cannot wait until the wedding to see everything. I will be sure to post them here after October 2nd!

Re: OFFICIAL National Floral Wholesale THREAD!
Great idea! Although this resizing biz is not my forte Maybe Leena can post mine when she gets a chance. OK girls, I'm admitting to some sneaky business..when I saw Christine's sample the other day,I just knew I was going to love NFW. All my ideas for the wedding flowers were well over my original budget which I came to realize and it made me kinda depressed. I'm a big flower lover and just knew I wanted to splurge. But....FI was sticking to ORIGINAL budget -stupid me for fixing myself into a certain $$- Soooooooo... I dragged him around to get flower quotes with me,we went to places I aready had experience with,lets just say some I knew did crappy work...others were waaaaaaay overpriced. When we went to the last and final place NFW,whom I secretly wanted to use all along even though the quote was for double the ORIGINAL budget...he was soooo overwhelmed by the quality and Anna's service (2 meetings w/ us each over 2 hours) that we booked and paid in full right on the spot! Driving back home to Queens last night he was tooting his own horn saying 'HE' had a great feeling about NFW and how 'HE' saved us a bundle of money... hee,hee,hee... (my reply) Yes Dear
Once I get a color sample of the bridesmaid dresses I will have pics to show.. Can't wait!!!

I've booked NFW too, but I never had them do a sample. Will they still do one closer to my wedding if I ask them to? I wasn't sure of exact colors when I booked them.

Re: OFFICIAL National Floral Wholesale THREAD!
OMG, I almost cried when I saw all my flowers. I only have pics from friends, none showing centerpieces yet, but check them out!!
Will NFW do an archway? Are any of you using them for that? And ... will they do decorations other than CPs at the reception? If we get pushed inside for our ceremony bc of weather I will need tulle put in rows near some windows that have an ugly view of the parking lot...
I plan on meeting with them, but am planning from out of state and won't be there for a few weeks, but would appreciate any info you girls could give me now.
Thanks!

Re: OFFICIAL National Floral Wholesale THREAD!
Great ~ thanks! Andri -- do you mind FMing me what you're paying for all that?
Ohh... one more question - are they going out to the location to see the stuff they need to take care of prior to? or are you providing photos? Thanks!

Re: OFFICIAL National Floral Wholesale THREAD!
I had the archway done for the gazebo and it was beautiful. I believe it was $350 because of the time she has to be there to put it up. It was so worth it. I got so many compliments.
I've booked NFW too, but I never had them do a sample. Will they still do one closer to my wedding if I ask them to? I wasn't sure of exact colors when I booked them.
Hello? What about me? Anyone have any idea? Ugh

Thanks Christine-I am going to do light blue, lavender, and white. I think I've decided on all low centerpieces and mostly tulips. Do you think they'll still do a sample at some point for me? I've given her the colors, and she knows I want tulips mostly. Or, do they only do samples before you book to get you to book?

Re: OFFICIAL National Floral Wholesale THREAD!
I am sure that Anna will do a sample for you. Once you decide on your colors and flowers. She is absolutely wonderful. They did a sample for me and even gave me a sample of my bm bouquet for me to think about because I am insanely indecisive!

They'll definitely do a low sample CP...they'll do it for anything - even a bok if you'd like.
As far as the color scheme - gorgeous! It'll turn out beautifully.
I got a sample CP made after I booked - but that was just a deposit, and Anna said it was fully refundable in case I decided to go with someone else. Fortunately, I loved it and couldn't believe the size of it, that I didn't have to go elsewhere.
