So we are up to booking our last vendor- the florist!!!! I met with 2 wonderful ladies, Cristina from Bella Flowers and Heidi from Sugar Magnolias.
Heidi from SM's was the most caring, awesome, person and really got my vision. She only does one wedding a day and I just think she really cares about your big day.
Cristina from Bellas was just as great, and got my vision, but it was more of a business discussion. I overheard her say they had 6 weddings this past weekend. Yet she called me 2 days after our appointment to tell me she had a new idea for the flowers.
They are both around the same price, SM's is a few hundred more. I am having THE HARDEST time making a decision about who to book!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't think choosing a florist was going to be this hard- but it is!!
Please help me make a decision! I'm going away for a week and a half on Sunday and really want this check done with by then!!
Thank you guys in advance!!!!!

I'm booked with Bella Flowers. They probably had six weddings because they do two on each day of the weekend. Cristina told me they only do two weddings a day because either she or her manager has to be there to set up. This may sound like a lot to you, but it's actually a super small number. I met with Flowers by Brian who does THIRTY weddings a weekend. That horrified me.
I'm so confident in Cristina because she is an absolute perfectionist. Couldn't recommend her more!!

Sugar Magnolias only does one wedding a day but was pricey. Looking forward to going to Bella's.

Re: FLORIST HELP!!!!!!
Did you like Hidden Essence and were they reasonable? I loved Sugar Magnolias but she is pricey. I have an appt at Bella's on Saturday but I have seen a lot of bad reviews. I'm so confused!!

Re: FLORIST HELP!!!!!!
Bella flowers did our wedding in September and I a so glad we used them. I am not a flower person at all. My husband's friend recommended them to us. Cristina was awesome the flowers were so pretty and the price was great. We met her for a sample before the wedding day and I was so excited. The day of the wedding flowers looked exactly the same. I give Bella flowers 5 stars they deserve it. Go for Bella you won't be disappointed.
