I'm actually doing gerber dasiy also we are not doing centerpieces of flowers. Patchogue floral actually qouted me less than stop and shop and the quality is much better. I'm getting flowers for our cake, and bridal party flowers all for like 400.

Are you crafty at all? Bc you could buy the flowers and make the Bouquets yourself. There is this website called fiftyflowers.com, they're a floral wholesaler and they sell almost every flower imaginable in bulk. They also sell the supplies needed to make your own bouquets, boutenierres, etc.

Go to your local florist- I went to the local florist and they were more than half of the ' wedding' florists

ITA. I'm using a local florist and they are charging me 1/3 of the price that I was orignally quoted from one of the wedding florists I always see posted about on LIW. For the exact same thing...

Definitely, try Verbena and Designs by Rose...both gave me quotes in line with 2 local florist....but they really know what they are doing and worth the extra $100...it was a tiny difference.
