Re: Flowers by Brian vs. Pedestals?

definitely flowers by brian unbelievable ask for joe hes great...i changed my mind about my flowers already and he was right there to help me out i think they are very reasonably priced even though i never went to another florist i booked them on the spot...joe did a mock centerpiece for me 2x and a mock bouquet he was great let me just tell you that i went with my doc and she had a bride there almost 2 weeks prior with her centerpiece there and was still fresh just amazing

Re: Flowers by Brian vs. Pedestals?

this is an old post of mine comparing my experience with both. Everyone has different opinions but HTH. i booked with FBB.


--------So I met with Flowers by Brian and Pedestals today and I like FBB better--- not only did FBB make me feel at home but Stacy tried to help me get what I want and still stay with in my budget. Also Pedestals told me they would offer me over 10% discount for getting the lighting and decor on top of flowers and when I got there Virgil said the lady who told me that, was fired... and he only offered me about 8%. Then when I told him that 3800 was too much and that I got a better deal somewhere else he asked me where and I told him FBB (among other places) and he said I shouldnt trust them because he has heard horror stories.. Okay I mean I know Pedestals has a great name and all but when they become snotty and only seem to care about people who spend alot thats when I get turned off. Another thing is FBB offered t have the CP for me to see before I sign but Virgil, being a little nasty said they dont do that but maybe and that he would ask the manager.. I did not feel that he cared unlike FBB.



So things I didnt like from pedestals:
1) the way he spoke about the woman who was fired
2) snotty attitude
3) didnt negotiate my price.considering I was getting so much.

Re: Flowers by Brian vs. Pedestals?

I actually had an appointment with Virgil at Pedestals and he passed me off to Rob the second I got there b/c he realized that he and I went to high school together. Talk about awkward from the start!

Also, the very first thing Rob told me was that they just did the Jonas brother wedding. I'm sorry, but I don't really care. Tell me how you're going to cater to my wedding, don't name-drop.
