I just returned from a consultation with Carmine and his sister. I cannot even begin to tell you how incredibly helpful and patient they both were! They went over colors, flowers, centerpiece types, and chuppahs. They were so thorough and spent a great deal of time with me (nearly 2 hours).
They were out of a few colors I was considering for my flowers and Carmine ordered them on the spot! No, I hadn't signed a contract, yet there he was, ordering roses in various colors so that I would be able to see them in person!
They wrapped up some of the flowers I am considering and then Carmine made me the most stunning bouquet to take home. I walked out with 2 beautiful bouquets which are sitting in vases on my dining room table now.
I couldn't keep this wonderful experience to myself.
The price I was quoted was thousands less than I anticipated for what we need. If you're looking for a florist, make an appointment with them. I'm still in shock after the wonderful way in which I was treated. All vendors should be as polite and pleasant as they were!

I went to him and I felt the same way. Carmine is the best and he does answer all your questions and is very polite.

I don't want to sound like a broken record but I went to see him yesterday to drop off a vase so that he can do a sample for me and he made me a huge flower arrangement and even gave me chocolates. I have not even sign a contract with him yet. He loves what he does and he also know what he is doing. I can't wait to see my sample.

Back Again
I just returned from another visit with Carmine. Remember the roses he ordered in various colors? They came in and I stopped in to see them. Carmine spent another 2 hours with me! He helped with various color combinations and we discussed what types of flowers to stay away from due to wilting (tulips).
He made me a sample bouquet for my bridal party and it's gorgeous! It's on my dining room table (replaced the roses FI gave me for Valentine's Day...they died).
I commented on the most interesting flower I've ever seen; a pineapple flower. It literally looks like a pineapple. So, what did Carmine do? He gave me one and then added various tropical and wildflowers to it and made me yet another bouquet!
He grabbed every shade of pink rose he had and put one of each in a box for me to take home. I quickly put those in my fridge so that I can compare them to the other 2 shades of pink her ordered for me (those should arrive tomorrow).
In case you're wondering, I've officially run out of vases at this point!
Kepp in mind, I still haven't signed a contract! When I asked him about signing one, he said that he wants me to make sure I'm happy before I sign. Sheesh, I don't think a florist can make me any happier!
