florist meetings

so i just met with my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th florsits..heres my thoughts

verbena--i loved jen, i thought her price was a tad high, but her personality made up for this-i also thought she was very well organized and it really seemed like she loved what she does-def. a contender..

pedestals-not the greatest experience-i got there a lil early bc that's how i am, but i still had to wait until 10 minutes after my scheduled apt..i HATE when people run late..thats just me though..i also felt kinda rushed, and they didn't listen to anything i had to say--they just kept saying well this will look beautiful.and after i told them 5 times that i did NOT want green in my bok she starts to write down green around base of the bok..um no..don't think well be using them, even though i was kind of disappointed bc i know ppl have had wonderful experiences with them-maybe it was just who we met with

flower michelle-loved them as well--the guy we met with really wanted to know what i was thinking and what my vision was-and his prices were great as well..

i still have a few more apts before i make my decision though--this is the vendor im really struggling with the most!

I met with verbena and Flower Michele and booked with flowre Michele

Verbena was high?

Flower Michele was a lot higher but we loved rich and went with them but Jen is a doll

I didn't meet with Pedastals because of the bad experiences I have heard about them

Good luck

I found Verbena to be much cheaper for what I wanted than Flower Michele also. Its funny that you say she quoted u the highest price. I did like both florists though...we went with Verbena

I love Flower Michele and booked with them on the spot. I agree with you...they really want to know your vision. I've heard great things about them from past brides.

I think pedastels is hit or miss and depends on who you meet with. My sister LOVED them...I wasnt blown away when I met with them

I met with pedestals, flower barn, flowers by brian and flowers michelle! the 2 runners where flower barn and flowers michelle but we went with flowers michelle because we felt more comfortable with the guy! and they were very accommodating! no offense to the pedestal brides but fh and i had a horrible experience therefore we hate them!

About Pedestals, I think the only reason I booked with them was because I dealt with Vito. Sorry to hear about your experience with them.

I met with Pedestals, Burtons and the Flower Shoppe. I did not like my experience at Pedestals and they kept telling me things that I didn't want. Burton's didn't seem to be interested in me, I felt as if I was bothering them by being there (mind you it was a wed afternoon and there were no other people around).

I totally agree with the statement that it is all depends on who you meet with. I met with Pedestals and Flower Michele and my better experience was with Pedestals. Flowers Michele really pissed me off. We got there for our appointment and were turned us away because they got called for an expo at the last minute. At Pedetals I met with Virgil and absolutly adored him on top of the fact that he totally got my ideas and showed me how they could be executed.

we met with virgil at pedestals also and LOVED him. he was so creative and totally understood what we wanted...he took our vision and ran with it...

flower barn we didn't have a great experience...the guy was nice and the price was ok but we were there like not even 15 minutes bc he basically asked what we wanted gave us a price and said goodbye...didnt help us at all in coming up with ideas...flowers are important to me and i just didn't feel comfortable that they saw my vision

Re: florist meetings

flower barn i saw..i felt the same way-very rushed..
but their price was muchhh lower than the others (im hoping to spend around 1600 on flowers with high cp's and they're the only ones so far that fit this)
