Florist Advice

I don't know who to choose :( When I met with FBB the person I met with and I did not connect. However, he recently has been let go and the person who took over is really really accomodating and nice and we get along great and he is willing to come in right at my budget.

Pedestals, the minute i got there i automatically clicked with Robert. He pulled flowers from the back and was really great, however he was $550 over my budget but I was able to get him down to $250 over budget.

When it comes down to it, it's only $250 more, but who do you feel is better? I am comfortable with both florist, but just wanted to see everyone's opinion.

Thanks!

we went w/ pedestals - we are working w. nadia and we just clicked better! fbb was very nice and accomodating, as well, we just preferred the experience we had at pedestals better and have 100% confidence in the quality of what we are paying for :) hth!

Re: Florist Advice

I think that you should go with the person who you felt you connected best with and who sees your vision. If you don't mind being $250 over budget, and you feel like that's the best choice for you then go for it. That amount of money isn't all that much, and you can probably go a little under budget in another area to make up for it.

Re: Florist Advice

I was deciding between the same two vendors.

I liked Flowers by Brian but I did not love them. When I went to Pedestals I met with Virgil and OMG I LOVED him! He got me right away.

The quote for Pedetals was $50 a table more for the centerpieces. I told Virgil that I wanted to work with him but that I could not justify the extra money. He matched my FBB number for the tables.

Even if they do not come down the $250. In the grand scheme of things it is not a huge amount of money. I think your sanity and dealing with someone you LOVE also has an advantage!
