Florist/Watermill Question

I recently went to two florists. I went to visit Flowers by Brian (Watermill house vendor) as well as Flower Michele. I loved both of them equally and got quoted very similar prices. My question is is there any advantage to going with a house vendor over a non-house vendor? Also does anyone have any feedback on Flowers By Brian? I know everyone on this site LOVES Flower Michele, so I don't need anything on them. TIA!!

To be honest with you, I think there is only an advantage with a DJ or Photographer b/c some places will not charge you to feed them at the reception. Also, they tend to know the room better (pictures/sound) I can't think of any advantage for a house florist.

I've heard both florists are great, but heard that flowers by Brian is pricey....but thats about it. Good luck!

i don't believe it would make that big of a difference for house vendor vs. non house recommended. maybe the only deal with a house vendor would be that they know the place very well and MAYBE you might catch a break with things at the last minute. but both florists are good--you won't go wrong with either one of them

both are great vendors however very pricey and i mean very.... I am also a Watermill Bride and my advice to you is check outside vendors as well.. Simply Elegant gave me a quote of $1815 for the same thing that Flower Michelle told me $2700 and Flowers by Brian told me over $3 for the exact same thing.. and in all honesty I have seen Simply Elegants work and they are outstanding.. if you need info FM me and i would be happy to give you their information.. you dont have to go with house vendors . As much as I love the watermill some not all but some of their vendors are pricey.. i did go with their DJ cause we know them and their Photo/video ADA cause we knew them .. but everything else we are going outside for ... Good Luck

Burtons was good too .. I just didn't like their arrangments as much as I did Simply Elegant.. and their price actually was higher then them but it also depends on what you are looking at .. the only reason we went with SE instead of Burtons was because we have seen SE work and loved it and didnt really say wow over Burtons.. they are good though don't get me wrong .. its all about the flowers you want and waht you are looking for .. Def check both places out
