FLOWER FREAK-OUT

I am sweating the small stuff. I am sorry. But this wedding is costing SO much money, and I feel like I need everything to be as good quality as possible. This flower thing has me FREAKED out (and I know a couple of the other girls). Burton's has always seemed too good to be true, and when I went back the second time, I felt a lot better, but STILL I don;t feel confident - especially after BrideToBe's post. Flowers are really important to me and I am very knowledgable about them. I just don't know what to do - I mean should I consider other options? Everybody else is twice the cost! AAAGGG!! Anybody with this problem?

Just bring pictures of what you want the flowers to look like.. Im sure they will turn out fine.. and let them know what youve heard and how your feeling.

FLOWER FREAK-OUT

I agree with Bride02, to voice what we've heard--the good and bad--about them during your next visit (or phone call), so that they know that we want the best! I have an appt. to see samples in a couple of weeks, and I am definitely going to say that I expect my centerpieces to be exactly the same as the samples, and that I've heard that other brides have had problems. Don't worry!!

They are as good as it gets. They did my sister and more friends then I can remember, and all were thrilled.Just tell them what your concerns are and see a sample before. They have to be the nicest people I have dealt with.

FLOWER FREAK-OUT...Dont Freak out!!!

Don't freak out and I am sorry if I scared you. Just bring in pictures of what you want and let them know you are concerned. Also be specific if you would like ribbons on you bouquets and on what type of pew bows you want. Mine were rubber banded on the pew (not very attractive). Also be specific on your altar arrangements (I never would have wanted carnations). I think your bouquet is the most important so make sure it is right. No one other than me and my husband knew the flowers were wrong and everyone said they were beautiful. I would suggest also to have them mark each bouquet and boutaneer with the name of who they go to because it was very time consuming figuring out who got what. You just want what you pay for to be perfect. Also the flower quality was good, they lasted a few days later. I know several people who have used them and they were all very happy, maybe they just had a bad day or someone was out sick. Good luck

FLOWER FREAK-OUT...Dont Freak out!!!

I just spoke to my event manager at the Hamlet. Burton's is not a house florist but they were highly recommended by her. She told me that she has never seen anything from Burtons that is sub-par or full of fillers. She said their flowers are always beautiful. So not sure what happened to the other bride's flowers but I have to calm down and just be specific about what I want.

Burtons Florist- Phone number?

After all of these posts about Burtons I now want to see what they have. Does anyone know their phone number or where they are located and can't seem to find them on the web. Thanks!
