Hey Ladies!

So after my FH and I made the trip from LA to NY to visit some vendors we were kind of let down or unimpressed by the florists we met with. I need your help!

Who do you guys (the real experts) recommend??

We met with Stephan's, nice, but didn't really seem to get the concept we were going for

Had an appointment with Flowers By Brian, was really excited b/c i heard great thing...... and got stood up...im a pretty forgiving person but if I fly 3000 miles to meet with you....you should be there...and not very accommodating to reschedule on short notice after they screwed up.....very unprofessional

Met with Mark from Flowers by Topaz....and he is nice...a little over caffeinated, but I like the energy...however it felt like he was a little pushy on what HE wanted rather then what we were looking for and then i got the price quote....about $700 OVER the budget we gave him

I'm getting a little discouraged.....help!

Lovin Oven in Sayville..

Keyth is amazing.

I agree, I used them and my flowers were AMAZING!!! I had some trouble in that I worked with Melissa and she had written down the order wrong. Keyth made my bouquets following the sheet and they looked incredible but were the wrong colors. They fixed them though. The centerpieces, pew bows, candelabras at the church and even the bouquets once fixed all looked incredible.

Definitely go there but make sure you work with Keyth from the get go.
