Florist Help

Hi Ladies,
So I'm 100 days away from my wedding and I still have not even begun to look for a florist! Unfortunately, no one in my inner circle has any experience with flowers, so it's really the blind leading the blind here! I was hoping for some recommendations from my fellow brides!
Here are the details: The wedding is being held at the Fox Hollow in Woodbury on April 17th. I'm ideally looking for cherry blossom center pieces and peony-based bouquets. I'm also looking for a florist who does uplighting. So, if you know of any florists who do well with these things or you just really loved your florist, please let me know!
Thanks in advance!

We used Bu rton's for our flowers. You seem to want expensive flowers (cherry blossoms n peonies) so they would prob give you one of the lowest prices b/c they don't charge for the type of flower used. Our DJ did our uplighting.

I used Cress in Douglaston. Tommy did an amazing job on my flowers. He really got my vision and had great ideas. Guests were fighting over who would keep the centerpieces. I was told that the flowers lasted for more than a week after the wedding.
