My vote is for Pedestals. I love their work, I love them!!!!!!! They know their stuff, their showroom is amazing and very helpful
Pedestals all the way! No question about it.
I've got to say Flower Michele, but that's just me. John was so passionate and excited about our ideas and came up with some great ones for us too. He has been a dream to work with

FM is fabulous...My best friend got married at Russo's and was forced to used Pedestals (because at the time they were the only vendor Russo's would work with...or something like that)...Well in the end they made SOOOOOOOOOO many errors (wrong bo-Ks....missing an entire center piece, etc...) and the flowers were wilted by the end of the ceremony! They had soaked all the BM bo-Ks in water to preserve them before the ceremony which stained and ruined the satin wrapped around the base of them..They also forgot the rose petals we needed to stuff the cones with so the guy was in the van (while we were waiting and were almost late for the ceremony) stripping roses....Just overall a horrible experience.
I am sure there are brides out there who have used Pedestals and have had wonderful experiences (or else they wouldn't still be in business) but I am just sharing my experience with you.
The only negative I heard from a friend was that it was a very bad storm on the day of her wedding and that FM was late to the church to set up...When they got there they were having guests help set up in the aisles (but I've had 4 friends use FM and this was the only negative....which was weather related).....They have gorgous flowers and John is great to work with!
Good luck either way!

I went to both FM and pedestals. FM quote was 1,000 less BUTTTT the amount of flowers I got with pedestals compared to FM was unreal. I even added cocktail hour flowers and bo-q's for the moms!!!! Also, FM gave me 24 flowers total on each centerpiece and pedestals is giving me 50 flowers! So, sometimes that extra money is worth it.
make sure you are comparing the same flowers with each place.

I didn't even think to ask how many flowers in each cp. maybe that's why pedestals was so much more.

you have bad reviews about any vendor...On here there have been alot of bad reviews about FM, thats what the OP said and why she is hesitant.

who said you can't give your review, seriously you COMPLETELY misunderstood my post...I NEVER once said anything about you not saying anything...some ppl mentioned FM having bad reviews, you mentioned pedestals having bad reviews...my point was you CANT just go by a few bad reviews bc every vendor has it, have to go also by personal experience with them. It was just to kind of continue from what you were saying about a negative review and showing that, nothing towards you was said

I agree....
i think bc i quoted you, you think my comment was towards you, but it was meant for the person who posted the thread...alot of times ppl on here will quote someone if they have something similar to say but mean for the person asking
Flower Michele was absolutely wonderful!!! John was so great to work with! I definitely recommend them!
Pedestals!!!! I actually met with John from FM and while his work was beautiful, the price was high. When I mentioned this to him he basically wouldn't work with my budget. I had a great experience with Nadia at Pedestals!!
