any comments would be appreciated, thanks!
We met with them and out of the 5 florist we met they were the priciest by far, and threw in a lot less freebies. But there work looks beautiful from what I saw. We decided on Flowers by Brian

Re: Any bride use Pedestals in Mineola?
I met with them and did not like them at all. Maybe it was the 'consultant' that I talked to, Marcella (?), but she was not very helpful. I didn't like the idea that I would be conferring with someone who wasn't actually going to arrange my flowers. She also quoted me a very high price and didn't give me the cost-breakdown sheet to go over at home.
What I also thought was unconventional was the fact that someone else from Pedestals, not my consultant, called me 2x, on 2 different Sunday afternoons, to ask me about my experience with them. Both times, this woman, Lynn, didn't even ask me if I had a second to talk. She just launched into asking me questions about Marcella.
The first time, I was in the middle of lunch, so I just told her it wasn't a good time and hung up. The second time, a week later, just to get her to stop calling, I told her that I had decided to go w/ a different florist. She asked why, and I told her that it was b/c their quote was way high and that I didn't like the idea of talking to someone who wasn't going to arrange my flowers. Instead of saying, 'thank you for your time,' she tries arguing with me by saying, 'you think your florist is really going to be the one actually doing the work?' She was really disagreeable and agressive.
In short, what a weird place to work and do business with.

Absolutely one of the BEST decisions we made for the wedding - people are still talking about the flowers!!!

Re: Any bride use Pedestals in Mineola?
we are using them and have had nothing but great experiences. Erin is my consultant - she is so nice. she gave us what we wanted for what we could spend and i really couldn't be happier. i just saw my sample CP and it was amazing. there may be other florists who are slightly cheaper in price - but as far as I know and have read, the quality of Pedestals is excellent.

Re: Any bride use Pedestals in Mineola?
I booked with them and they came in much cheeper than anyone else. I think it's due to my winter wedding and a Fox Hollow discount but so far I think they are great! I have to change my flower colors but that's bc I didn't have a swatch with me. I saw good reviews on here for them too. FH and I got a little more off of our package price by saying that we'd sign that day for the lower price. The owner was there for my consultant to ask-maybe if he's not there you can't do that?
My CP are simple and I'm not to worried about one certain person arranging my CP. The one place we went to that the woman would do my whole room set up wanted 1500 more than Pedestals. I'm confident that my flowers will be great!! Shop around and go with who you feel comfortable with tho!
We worked with Robert and he is wonderful. Thus far I am very happy with Pedestals and my decision to use them!

THey were great.
I went to 9 florist. I needed 6 small centerpices per table and they were by far the cheapest. They came out beautiful. I have attached pictures

I think I spoke to Lynn yesterday. I had a complaint and she was SO obnoxious!! Later in the day Phil called to see what my complaint was about and he seemed to be the better person to talk to. Thanks for the input ladies.
