Flowers by burton

I have an appt tomorrow with flowers by burton. Anyone using them? Any questions you recommend I ask? If you booked them... Do you mind fm your quote? I'm curious what to expect and don't wanna fall over when I get mine, lol

I'm really looking to spend no more than $2000 on thus vendor. The less the better. Money is tight!

I can tell you that they do not base their prices on the TYPE of flowers and I thought they were super reasonable in their prices! It depends on how high or low you want centerpieces and how many you need, plus how many bridesmaids you had. I was around 2000 with about 20 tables but only 1 moh. Hope that Helps!!

Ok thanks. I'm hoping to stick with my 150 minimum at Bridgeview and I think I'm going to do tables of 10 so I'm guesstimating I'll need 15 centerpieces. i have a small bridal party so that is good too!

I have not had any experience with burton, but I booked with doris the florist, she's in island park, and she was very reasonable. I have 10 gorgeous centerpieces, 5 bouquets, 8 boutonnieres 3 corsages, and two floral arrangements for my ceremony, and she's quoted 1700.

She's next on my list! Her and black dahlia. Hidden essence was booked on my day. I've heard such good things about them, so I'm kinda disappointed.

I'm booked with Flowers by Burton. Out of 3 florists I went to, they gave me the lowest price by far. They don't charge you by flower type, just the amount of flowers you will need.

Im also booked with flowers by burtons and they gave me the best price by far. Not to mention i have had a few bumps along the way(bridesmaid dropped out, i changed my colors) and they told me not to worry about a thing. They always answer there phone and are there for any questions. I havent had a problem with them

Thank you all for your input. Had to change my appt to tomorrow so we'll see how it goes. I think flowers is my least favorite vendor :(

YEA me too! I felt bad writing because the woman was really sweet but even with her suggestion of DIYing some stuff and giving it to her to 'bring the cost down', it was still like 3800! noooo no no.

One of my biggest regrets is NOT using Burton's. They were my second choice. My flowers were on the expensive side and I wasn't terribly happy with them.

I say use them!

That's so surprising! Myself and a friend of mine are both booked with Black Dahlia and she was so flexible and was able to work with both of our differing budgets (mine was $3200, his was $1800). So maybe you guys wanted much more elaborate?
