Re: Calling all Flowers by burton girls

My FSIL used them and loved them, all of her friends used them and loved them. I am using them as well for my weddding. I also just went to a wedding in Feb where the bride used them and the flowers were beautiful! You can't beat the price, I am sure that there are better florists out there but you will pay big bucks for them. I have heard that with Burton's you will get exactly what you pay for meaning that no little extras are thrown in. But that being said I have never heard anyone say something bad about them who has used them. Good Luck!

I booked them back in November. They seem very honest, I asked them for topiaries for the ceremony at the reception hall. They basically said, we can do them of course, but it may be a waste of $$ because the ceremony room at the RH is beautifully decorated already. They EASILY could have sold me the topiaries and they are very expensive, so as of right now I have a very good opinion of them .

A few weddings that I've been to in the past couple of years have used them (that's how we heard of them) and all of those people heard of them through friends and family. I've heard all good things and seen the flowers...bo-ks, centerpeices, ceremony pieces, etc. first hand and they were bautiful. We're using them in July...I'll be sure to post pics for you!

Im just getting bok's from them because we have DIY centerpieces but I LOVE them. I know a few people who have used them and they were fantastic.

Where are you hearing mixed reviews?

I had a similar experience, we were talking about centerpieces and they were very honest with me. We will be having a lot of tables and they told me of some less-expensive options through them.

Preshy7 used them last weekend and loved them.

ETA: Most (if not all, there may be one that I missed) of the reviews on the board of them are great. The only 'negatives' I've really heard were from people who weren't happy when they went to meet with them initially.

Re: Calling all Flowers by burton girls

I had gotten several referrals to them and saw their work at a wedding I attended. I just met with them today and was very pleased by their fresh samples and quality of work. I wasn't looking to spend as much as I did (I think unrealistically) but their work is great. We booked with them for our 9/3 wedding. So glad - our last major thing to do was the flowers - and it's done.

Re: Calling all Flowers by burton girls

I used them for my wedding. Everything was exactly as we discussed and the flowers were BEAUTIFUL. I should have some professional pics soon but there are some non-prof ones in my album now if you want to see them. My boquest was beautiful but it felt like it weighed 10 pounds

Re: Calling all Flowers by burton girls

thanks girls.. i was worried..because my MOH said she hyeard from 2 girls their flowers were horrible.. I mean i heard from a few pwople they were great and the prices are unbelievable.. I met with the owner and he too suggested something i thought i needed as a waste of money.. he seemed honest.

thank you girls i am going to stick with my first gut feeling when i met with them.

have a great week. :)

Emily's Wedding Review
I wasn't 100% satisfied with my results, but I was looking for something super super specific. No one but my mom and I even knew anything was 'amiss.' For the price, you get a great deal, however if you ARE looking for something really specific and/or original, I'd suggest looking elsewhere. My review gives you lots of pictures and my honest feelings about my experience with Burtons.
