After meeting with both places I am on the fence on which one to go with. I was quoted quite a bit less at Flowers by Brian but I didn't really click that much with them. I know they have such great reviews, so I would trust them if I ended up booking with them. I really, really LOVED Pedestals. I was kind of stuck on the flowers and design I wanted to go with and Pedestals really helped me see the 'vision' I was trying to see. But I'm not sure if I should spend the extra $$?
Has anyone booked with either of these vendors and why did you choose to go with them?

I met with both and booked with FBB. I didn't click with Pedestals and their quote was outrageous for the same thing i got from FBB. Personally I love FBB but I would go with your gut.

I don't know anyone that has used FBB but my friend got married in August and used Pedestals and her flowers were beautiful! I know she spent a ton on them, but everything was perfect. I would also look into Burton's if you're on a budget - they seem to have the best prices.

My cousin used Pedastals and her flowers were STUNNING! I've never been to an event that used FBB though.

I booked Pedestals! They were very creative and even worked with me on my budget!

Pedestals has beautiful flowers, but I personally think they were ridiculous with their pricing, especially for something that dies! lolll
I went with distinctive floral design which had almost the exact pricing as FBB, but it really just came down to that distinctive threw in a couple of little extras for us.. I have pics of my centerpieces (high/low alternating) in my albums
good luck:)

I am booked with Pedelstals. Really clicked with them and they knew exactly what I was looking for. Also two of my friends used Pedelstals for their weddings and the flowers were amazing

I had the exact same experience. Quoted just a LITTLE bit less w/FBB, but after meeting Virgil at Pedestals (I felt like we were friends already and he worked w/my budget and threw in a few things here and there), I realized I just had to go w/who I felt the most comfortable with. After seeing our sample a few weeks ago, we were SO happy w/our decision.

Thanks so much ladies!!
I have been thinking about it all weekend. I think we are going to go with Pedestals. In the end I think its worth the extra $$. I had such a great experience with them and I find it very important to click with you are working with.

I heard Virgil was great from Pedestals. I met with Rob. He also was great! He really worked with me and even gave me a discount on top of a discount, which was awesome!
I wasn't even excited about the flowers until I met with them.

Ok So we booked pedestals, but we were deciding between both FBB and Pedestals. We chose pedestals over FBB for a few reasons. Pedestals supplies the flowers for our ceremony, they work closely with our venue, they were very much organized, and when we told them that FBB offered us a price $700 cheaper, they came down in price by $400. Why we didn't go with FBB, as much as I liked the person I met with, he was very unorganized, he seemed a bit scatter brained, but that is the artsy type, plus, if you read all of their reviews on yelp, they are horrible. So we are paying a few hundred more for pedestals. If you have any questions feel free to FM me :) Good luck in your search.

we looked at both- Pedestals and Brians both do beautiful arrangements but Brians had the better price so we booked them

I booked with flowers with brian after meeting with both. I just clicked with the designer (fabiola) better. I loved that she is open to emails and wants me to send her pictures of my dress, bm dress, and anything i like on pinterest!
