Flowers by Brian OR Pedestals
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.

Pedestals has beautiful flowers, but I personally think they were ridiculous with their pricing, especially for something that dies! lolllI 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.
