Flowers are giving me a m'&¥fu'*+^ headache**

So my Fmil says my florist is too expensive and I need to find someone else. What she doesn't understand is that I don't want to go w the cheapest option. I want the best. I don't want to har to worry that my flowers are going to be brown or if they are even going to show up that day!!

Anyone have a good florist that can keep me user $3500 for 20 tables of tall branches w hydrangea and hanging tea lights, my bok of peonies, 6 bm 3 mom 12 bouteniers and escort card table?!

I'm ready to pull my hair out or flip on my in laws(which I really don't want to do)

We're using B*urtons. They came in with a comparable price, beautiful flowers. Their shop is not fu-fu fancy, it's a small two story home with a bridal shop on top. All they ask you for is a $50 deposit until a month before your event. All they do is weddings, nothing else to steal their focus. They're in Melville, they don't advertise, just word of mouth. I'm looking forward to working with them more closely in a couple of months.

I went to B*urtons and while we didn't book with them, they were very reasonable priced and give you any flowers you want for the same price.

Definitely look at Hidden Essence. Michelle is a doll and her quote was $1000 less than the other florists.

You can also try distinctive floral if you haven't already done so. They gave me such a good quote that I didn't look anywhere else.

Try Verbena in Hicksville. I absolutely loved them, their quote was similar to the one I got from Distinctive.

Try Doris in Island Park. I'm using her and she is so reasonable and creative.

Have you looked at Flowers by Brian? My budget is $3k and I am getting about the same stuff you list. Only thing I am not sure of is peonies, I am doing calla lilies. I think they gave me a great quote and they have a great quality. Ask for Joseph Campbell.

Wow I wonder why such a large difference. I am getting 19 tables, my bok, 1 MOH, 4 BM, 2 mothers mini bouqs, 8 boutineers, 1 archway (for ceremony),one entryway piece, votives and pedals on all tables and cake table. My quote was either $3,000 or $3,200 maybe because of difference in time of year or flower choice. That stinks, I wouldnt do $5,300 either!!!

That's pretty much what I have, maybe one more table and two more bms... But two months should mean almost $2000 more dollars!

I know we might not have the exact centerpieces but come ooooon
It's nauseating
