Florist Help

I'm using Flower Barn. I looked at Flower Barn, Pedestals, and Flowers by Brian. Flower Barn gave the best price and it was a great experience.

I would ask to see pictures of their work.
Find out if there any delivery fees
Do you get to see a sample? if so, when?

I went to LA Blossom - SO nice, great ideas and totally works within your budget!!

I'm using Flowers & Designs by Gina
www.ginaroseflowers.com

She is awesome...is easy to work with and budget friendly.

As for pricing, it really depends on so many things like: number of BMs, flowers you use, if they are in season, your Bok, how many tables you will have, bouts for the GMs, parents, grandparents, altar / arch and rose petals for various reasons.

Before you visit a florist, try to have a vision of what you want at your wedding, like color scheme, theme and preferred flowers. I printed out various pictures of CPs, Boks, etc that I like. I also emailed them to the florists once I made our appt.

Coupled with the numbers of each item you need above, they can help put together a better estimate for you. I would ask how fresh their flowers are, what happens if there is a mistake (wrong flowers used, etc), how early to do deliver, set-up, how much is their insurance policy. Some RHs require a $1M, some $2M. Do they offer set-up and break-down included in their price, or is there a fee..? Also...do they have arches or stanchions or even cylinders to rent you, instead of buying everything. You may save major cash here.

We're using J.W. Becker on Jericho Turnpike in Floral Park. FH's cousin owns it. I dont know pricing yet though sorry. We haven't gone to see him. He told us to come in like January.
