I am so clueless about florists. I love flowers. We have appointments to check out Colonial, Jack and Rose, Keysers, and A. Fiore by Arianna Studios. Anyone know anything about these or have any recs? We are getting married in May 05 at the Westbury Manor.

Re: Florist HELP!
I had just heard about Pedastals that it depends on the day and you do not always receive what was promised. I have no idea if this is true or not but one of my friends was disappointed. Who knows, you hear good and bad about everything.

Re: Florist HELP!
I havent heard that - but anythign is possible - i cant tell you how its going to be for me either yet - that i'll only be able to tell from the review -
From the reviews I've read on here and how its been dealing with them - i am confident that it'll all turn out nice - I think part of the reason that i asked for a sample was so i know what i would be promised - instead of having an image in my head and them not having the same image - at least i know we are all on teh same page -
Hopefully my flowers will be just perfect!
Good luck on your search - i saw you posted on the vendor board asking about what questions to ask - when you get a quote for a centerpiece - always ask how many of which type of flowers they will include - that way it will be easy to compare prices with other florsts - if you dont - you may not realize that a lower quote might be for more flowers or a higher quote might be for less flowers.
ETA: I consider myself a flower freak - i love flowers and I know a lot abotu flowers - so i spoke with the vendors with my own knowledge and figured out who was the best one to go with for me - I visited many florists and got a range of prices - they werent the most expensive and they werent the least expensive - go into yoru meetings knowing abotu how much you want to budget - give your ideas and find out if that is possible with teh budget that you have in mind. I origianlly went in with one idea - and realized it was a lot more expensive than i thought - i ended up deciding against it because my guests would not be able to take the centerpiece home -

We are using Flowers By Brian, I would definately check them out. They are wonderful.
My sister had Pedestals do the flowers for my shower this weekend - they were gorgeous!!! I would definately add them to your list also.
