Burtons vs. Flower Michele

Has anyone visited both? Do you know their policies on making sample arrangements for you to preview? Opinions please!

I haven't been to Michele's - but I booked Burton's on the spot.

I haven't visited both, but I visited a few before I met with Flower Michelle. As soon as I met with John, I knew he was our florist. His prices were good and he was soooooo nice. I'm not sure of what his policy was with the samples but if you have specific concerns, just ask - he is really accommodating.

I visited both (and two others) and Flower Michele won hands down. John was just so amazing to deal with - my flowers were incredible!

John (Flower Michele) took time to really find out what I wanted and made some great suggestions.

Burton's just gave me a price.They weren't impressive to me. They had good prices, but lacked creativity and passion about their work.

John did do a sample of my centerpiece, and while we didn't do a actual sample of the bouquets, he did put the group of flowers together to see how they'd look up against the BM dress.

I love dealing with Burtons. I never met with Flower Michele. Burton's prices are great, and I hear the same about Flower Michele.
Burton's is very easy to deal with, and they have great reviews so I booked them.

Flower Michelle's hands down!!! this was the first florist I went to and booked him immediately!!! John has such great energy!!! He's amazing to work with! I had no doubts about my flowers being gorgeous!!! My brother just got married last week and used them also! Everything was wonderful!!! At first the price was a little much for them but when they spoke to John he worked with them on the price instead of laughing them out of his shop! All I can say is go see John before you make any decision!!!
