Re: Florists opionion needed

I went to lots of florists (not Burton's) and Flower Michele was by far the best esp. personality wise, Both me and FH fell in love with John!!

Re: Florists opionion needed

I used Burtons for my wedding about a month ago. I was extremely unhappy with them. The centerpieces and other arrangements were nothing like what I asked for. The flowers were wilting by the end of the night. I even went back there two more times because I was not satisfied with my first meeting to make sure that they understood what I was looking for and they missed it completely. The way they arranged the flowers were horrible as well, they looked as if it were the first time they were doing this.

Re: Florists opionion needed

I booked with Burtons. They did my sister's wedding and everything was great. They are very inexpesnive and they do a GREAT job.

I also worked with Jill.

Re: Florists opionion needed

Might be worth checking out some bridal reviews -- this is one of those questions, perhaps, best answered by newlyweds (ie folks who have already utilized the service provider?)

Re: Florists opionion needed

Burton's was booked for my date when I called. I've only heard good things. The biggest advantage is they charge you the same price for every flower. This is especially good if you want to use pricier stems. I would suggest figuring out what you want and then asking them for a quote for the same exact package if you are price conscious.

Re: Florists opionion needed

I only met with Burton's (not flower michele) and they gave me the highest quote out of the 4 florists I met with (if finances are a consideration for you). Otherwise, I have no other experience to offer!
