Calling All Brides 2 Be Looking For A Florist

Recently, a few Brides 2 Be have booked Carmine from Flowers By Emil and have posted pics of their samples that he gave them. I want to show you his work on the day of. I used him for my wedding in Sept and loved my flowers. He did my altar piece, pew bows, boo-ks, boutineeres and corsages. Here are some pics of his work.

Here you can see my pew bows

Here is my altar piece

If you want to see more pics of his work let me know. Also, those still looking for a photographer, we used Chuck from Marcy Studio (also a vendor here). He was so wonderful to work with too!!

His quality of flowers is great. He is also so passionate about his business that he actually explains every flower to you and if you want a specific flower that he might not have in the shop at the time you go, he will order it for you and have you come back to see it. He is just so amazing to work with.

If you give him a set price, is he able to pick out flowers based on the number and stay within the budget?

Definitely. He works with you with regards to flowers and especially with your budget.

We met with Carmine a week ago tonight. He was great! I walked out with 8 rose buds, 2 gerbera daisies, and a huge bouquet he made me 'just because.' I wanted to sign the contract, but he said, 'wait until you see the sample.' He wants to be sure I'm happy with his work! Amazing!

Lisa,

What type of green flower is that in your BM's Bo-k's? I am looking for a sage like filler?

Thanks in advance!
