So this weekend I went to Flowers by Brian and Michelle. I originally wanted back to back magic red roses for CP, which cost over 250, so that idea was thrown out the door, Calli Lillies were my next chose. At Brians I was quoted 3k for everything, the women I met with was amazing she is giving me so much and I have total faith in her and her ideas, At Michelle's they quoted me for 3 dozen magic red roses and hydrangea colored red because I do not like the greenery. I do not know what that would look like, I was quoted 2500, the women I did not feel as conformable with. My Budget war 2500, Should I go over my budget. I feel more comfortable with Brians. Flowers are important to me, what do you guys think?

Re: FLowers?
Just from reading your post, it sounds like you already know what you want to do (i.e., using Flowers by Brian).
I think it's important to feel comfortable with your vendors, and to have faith in their work!

If you can afford the extra money than go with who you liked better.

I had a similar experience. I received a higher quote at one florist. But I didn't feel comfortable with the woman I spoke to at the cheaper florist , it seemed like she was trying to rush through the presentation. I'm going with the more expensive florist who I felt more of a connection to and who shared the vision for my wedding. So, if you can, go with the florist you feel more comfortable with. Good luck!

If flowers are important to you and you feel most comfortable w/ Flowers by Brian then I would go w/ them. I know that it may be $500 more then your budget but you seem more comfortable w/ there work. GOOD LUCK.

i agree- you will book him after you meet him. He is very passionate about his work.....and it shows in every wedding he has done.

If you can afford the difference I would go with the one you are more comfortable with definitely

Personnaly I would get a third opinion. I suggest you go to Flowers Etc. You may find that not only you'll be just as comfortable as with the more expensive florist, but that Jola at Flowers Etc will work with your budget. www.jazzflowersetc.com

Re: FLowers?
I went to flowers by brian this weekend and I loved them the first time i was ther and was very disappointed the second time when i went there this past weekend. They made me wait almost 45 minutes and they didnt even do what i asked... So i decided to go with burtons. They were so great there and i get everything i want for 2K less.....
Im soo happy with burtons
Good luck with your decision.... You have to go with your heart and who you feel comfortable with...

I would definitely go with what you are comfortable with. However, I love hydrangias, and I'm sure it would look beautiful, but if you're not comfortable with those women, then It might not be worth the stress!

I would go over budget to make sure that I am happy. You need to be happy and comfortable with who you choose.
