I haven't looked into florists yet, but I went to my friend's wedding a month ago and she used him....her flowers were beautiful! FI and I took home a centerpiece and the flowers lasted almost a week! Her wedding flowers are one of the reasons I am going to look at them when I start looking for florists!

We came very very close to using them. A few personal reasons why I didnt but their work is great and they quoted me a very reasonable price.

Re: Flowers by Brian

I do have my quote already-- what I really liked about them- as opposed to other florists.. was that Brian asked me what I wanted, I explained my vision, gave exact details, etc.. THEN he gave me a price.. As opposed to asking what I wanted to spend, then backing everything in so it fit 'perfectly'.. Basically, I felt he was not taking me for a ride- whereas another florist I met with, sucked in that capacity..

Oh, and Brian came in two grand under budget.

Good to know his work is good.

12,000! Wow..Someone spent a lot on flowers
IMO They have been great so far. I am going to see my sample on the 25th i'll let ya know how it goes. Oh, my quote was A LOT less than 12000

Re: Flowers by Brian

Good to hear...My florist search will begin soon, and I don't plan on spending near $12,000!!

Re: Flowers by Brian

You don't need to spend even close to that at the Bourne, the place is so beautiful on it's own.

Re: Flowers by Brian

we met with them and almost used them...they were our 2nd choice.
but then we got a better quote from another florist, so that made our decision

I used them and I couldn't be happier! My bouquet was more beautiful then I could have imagined!! There are pictures in my review on the review board.

Re: Flowers by Brian

Good-- so far in my meetings I was very happy with them--

those of you who are using them-- there is a handbag store around the corner-- they are open only to the public on the weekends-- they have all designer bags at like 40 to 60% off- cause they sell wholesale..

Highly recommend getting to an appt. 'early' so you have an excuse to shop!! I am a handbag addict.

Thanks for all the good reviews!

Re: Flowers by Brian

We used them and LOVED them. There prices were similiar to others we had checked out. Their work was equisite. So many of our guests remarked on how they thought we had the most beautiful flowers. I would definately check them out - they do gorgeous work!

I am not sure what the name is-- it is RIGHT across the street from that old time looking diner-- on the side street, like a block or two down from Brian's.. I think it just has a banner like sign out front.. I may have a card, if I can find it, I'll FM you.

Both my mom and got two awesome bags-- I inherited my handbag fetish from her-- I can't wait to go back there.

Also check out this web site-- bagborroworsteal.com-- they are a handbag loan service- based on the Netflix business model-- very interesting!
