Budget Friendly Florists

FH's family has a florist that my in-laws would like me to visit first. I believe she is also going to be invited to the wedding.

I am feeling a little unconfortable about the possibility of this florist being out of budget or not seeing my vision. If I hire another florist, shes will obviously know since shell be at the wedding and prob be offended, which I am trying to avoid.

However, I would still like to get a list together of other florists that are budget friendly. I do want A LOT and this is where we have set a smaller budget. Does anyone have an amazing florist that is budget friendly or a quote they would like to share? ANY help would be appreciated since I really have no idea what this is going to cost me.

I was in the same exact position!! FH fam friend is a well known florist that everyone seems to love. I was nervous bc they have an expensive reputation. It got a bit awkward bc they gave us the highest quote and after five visits, she still didnt get my vision. It did cause some arguments bt FH and I, but ultimately we decided to use a different florist. The fam friend will be at the wedding and I'm totally fine with that...our day, our way.

I recommend towers flowers in nesconset. They will work with any budget, produce gorgeous work, and are super friendly.

I don't have any vendor suggestions but don't forget to just check with your local florist as well. Most 'brand' name florists come with a higher price tag because of their demand even though your neighborhood florist can do just as nice of a job, usually for a lesser price.

No prob! Towers quoted me $1700 for the following:

16 centerpieces
my bok
four bm bok
4 corsages
8 bouts
cake decoration

They are a family-owned business. Brigette is really great, and she will tailor your vision to meet your budget.

Cori at Roots in Port Jeff! She's been great to work with and very reasonable. We met with like 5 florists and went with her.

Also try Verbena in Hicksville. Jamie was great, and my friend used Jen and loved her also.

Michelle from Hidden Essence is great! She came in 1000 less than another florist for the same stuff.

This is great to read! I went to visit the shop after my food tasting last weekend and she was really sweet. I checked out her work on FB and really loved what I saw. As soon as we pick out BM dress colors, I'm going to book a consultation. My venue recommended her and said they are great! I really wanted to use a local florist and was happy to find her!
