FLORIST!!!!

I need help. I'm losing my mind over finding a florist. I've met with four. The first one I was not crazy about (they kept pushing roses on me), the second was WAY out of my price range, the third was within my price range but I didn't really click with them and didn't like the suggestions they made, and the fourth one I absolutely adored but she is too expensive.

I have a fairly low budget (in the $2000-$2500 range) set for flowers.

Preferably someone in the Suffolk area. I'm losing hope! Anyone have any ideas? Thanks so much in advance!

Re: FLORIST!!!!

Ive heard great things about Flower Michelle.

Colonial Florist in N Bellmore is awesome. Great guy.

Burtons can have a low price range, but you have o be VERY, VERY specific about what you want.

Re: FLORIST!!!!

Have you checked out Simply Stems? Sandy is great to work with and she is located in Huntington. If you don't mind traveling to Seaford, check out Flower Barn. They were my second choice.

Re: FLORIST!!!!

Thanks so much girls! I called Flower Michele twice, they haven't called back yet, I might give them another call today (I keep leaving messages, it'll probably be easier just to talk to someone) and I will definitely look into the other suggestions! Thank you for your help everyone!

Hey RH twin!!!

I of course am going to suggest Flower Michele. John is a DOLL and does incredible work. My flower budget is similar to your's and I am getting a lot for my $$$. Like you I'm not a fan of roses. I let John know that immediately and he suggested lots of gorgeous alternatives.

He put together a really nice proposal of flowers for me that go great with the Venetian Yacht Club's dining room. FM me if you are interested
Good luck!

Have you tried With All My Heart in Port Jefferson - I just booked with them ~ I dealt with the owner her name is Lenea ~ she was very good and they were the most reasonable in price...

I went with Flower Barn (LIW Vendor) they are in Seaford. They are within your budget.
