I'm going to start looking at florists and already have 3 LIWedding vendors in mind. Has anyone or is anyone using a florist in Nassau or Suffolk that isn't a 'wedding' specialist?
I'm in E. Meadow and my fiancee is in E. Northport. Any advice or recommendations would be most appreciated I want to keep my options open!!
I am also starting the florist hunt. I had three in mind I wanted to see. First is Burtons in Huntington. (631-424-3377) They come highly recommended, but are wedding specialists. Second, was Hengstenberg in Northport. (631-757-6688) My sister used them for her wedding and her flowers were amazing. She said they came in @ the same price as Burtons, but she went with them to give local shop the business. (we live in NPT and they are on Main Street). When I called yesterday to set up an appointment they told me they don't usually go as far as East Wind, but they have a new wedding floral designer so that might change. The third is the Flower Petaler in Huntington. (631-385-4494). I have to say, when I called to make the appointment I was impressed. The woman I spoke with - Meredith - told me I would be meeting with her. She then asked a ton of questions about what I had in mind, the style of my dress, BM dresses, color of dresses, # in party, the location and time of wedding etc. All questions I assume the other florists will ask when I meet with them. I was impressed because she asked them before I walk in the door, so she is prepared to show me what I am interested in through her sample books, as well as show me some things I might not have in mind. She also asked what my budget was so she could stay within it.
I am not meeting with any of them until October 1 because I want to see seasonal flowers that will be available for my Oct '06 wedding.
i second Masters & co. they are doing my wedding and I like them better than all of the 'wedding' florists that i met with. They are very reasonable and extremely nice to work with.
