I don't know what they quoted you.....but for me it was a difference of almost $1000......but regardless of price, I definitely feel like you get more personal service w/ Flower Michelle. Do a search on them- their work is amazing!!

Re: Flower Michelle vs. Pedastals

I am just going by my personal experience, but I used FM for my wedding and I LOVED my personals, however I was unhappy with my CP's. They did not give me flowers that they told me I was going to get. The stands were high CP's and were supposed to have a flower arrangement on the bottom as well as the top, but instead they only put rose petals around the table and NOT the flower arrangement that I was promised. The stand also can hold about 8 pillar candles around the top (around the flowers), and instead of giving me pillar candles, they gave me votive candle holders. It looked small and weird. And to top it off some tables did not have any candles and some had 1 or 2 candles missing (and I am talking definitely more than 1 table

Re: Flower Michelle vs. Pedastals

I met with both Flower Michelle and Pedestals on the same day. I ended up booking with Pedestals because I didn't really get a good vide from FM. I met with Barbara, not John. I met with Rob from Pedestals and booked with him because I really liked his vision. FM gave me a slightly lower quote but it wasn't worth it to me.

Re: Flower Michelle vs. Pedastals

haven't met with either place but at a bridal show pedestals was there and they were extremely nice and helpful and the cp's were gorgeous

I am using Rob from Pedestals and everyone that I have recommended him to wound up booking with him. He's amazing!

Same here. FM's quote was much much lower for the exact same things. Plus the CP FH and I fell in love with is a FM piece that we saw beautifully displayed in person so we know they will do the job we want!

I was not completely satisfied with FM myself.

Re: Flower Michelle vs. Pedastals

I met with both but didnt book either. I don't like that FM gets so much hype on here...so I met with them only to have a chance to win $10,000 worth of flowers. Barbara was nice, but I wasn't overly impressed.

I LOVED pedestals...I sat with Nadia...I got a much better vibe from their shop. She took me into the back to show me all the different stands. Unfortunately, they were $500 over my budget for what I wanted.

I met with Flower Barn last and Mike was great. I loved what he had to say and he came in at my budget. Booked!

Good luck choosing--but between the 2, I personally, would pick Pedestals.

Flower Michelle

Re: Flower Michelle vs. Pedastals

hmmm i was very interested in pedestals before and were my first choice, after all the reviews i think they might be the winner.

Re: Flower Michelle vs. Pedastals

Flower Michelle! I met with both FM and Pedestal's the same week. Both companies are nice and knowledgeabl,but John is a sweetie and he beat Pedestal's quote by a significant amount.

Re: Flower Michelle vs. Pedastals

Ok since im coming from Los Angeles ill have to set up appts the same day since they are in the same area..

planning a wedding across the country is exhausting!!

Re: Flower Michelle vs. Pedastals

I would say Pedestals is the way to go, Flower Michele had did one of my co-workers weddings and they did not receive all that was promised. I felt John was nice but concerned with just beating all my other quotes to get me to use him. I am very picky and want my wedding to be a certain way and I felt Pedestals has the staff and experience to do that. I have to agree Rob is amazing..

Re: Flower Michelle vs. Pedastals

Those were my final two choices as well and I went with Flower Michele. I was so happy with everything they did! Flower Michele was awesome!

Re: Flower Michelle vs. Pedastals

i actually met with both of them.. but we chose Flower Michele. I liked Pedestal but we got a way better price with more stuff from Flower Michele. Plus i felt John was more personable, i did not feel like 'just a customer' he made us feel like it was all about us. Either way I think they both do great work, but we chose Flower Michele.
