Re: flowers

burtons. first place i went to but heard from here AND word of mouth that they were reasonable so i stopped in and found it to be true. when i went to another florist (general not wedding) i found that burtons was going to be it.

Re: flowers

For personal flowers, we are paying approx $1,000. That's for 2 altar pieces, my bouquet, 5 BM bouquets, 7 bouts, Grooms Bout, 3 mom's corsages, aisle runner, offering bouquet, toss bouquet...

but, that quote is from a NJ florist. I don't know if it's any higher or lower in LI because I never asked for those prices from any LI florists. Good Luck!

Re: flowers

I highly recommend Laurie from LA Blossom (vendor here) She comes to YOUR House for your appointment and works within your budget. She has such great ideas and tons of sample pics to look at. And SUCH a sweet, nice person on top of being so amazingly talented. And the icing on the cake, her prices are VERY reasonable

Re: flowers

We used Burtons, we got a great price but the centerpieces and bouquets were slightly wrong. The bouquets were fixed, they were just wrapped the wrong way, however, the centerpieces were gorgeous but not exactly the flowers I had asked them to do. The flowers were all beautiful though.

Re: flowers

we are using burtons. there whole gimic is that no matter what type of flower or no matter how many flowers you have they are the same price. we found them extremely reasonable. i think we are paying $3200 for everything and we got another quote for a local florist for the same amount of items of $7200.
