We loved working with Claudio at Colonial Florist. He did an amazing job, he was easy to work with and his prices were very reasonable! They are in Bellmore.

that is who we are using - he is great, his flowers are very high quality!

I just booked Laurie from LA Blossom last night. She is so nice and really great to work with. I met with her a few weeks ago and I knew I wanted to work with her. So did she say she could work with you even though she has a bride for that day already?

Another vote for LA Blossom. Laurie is so sweet and great to work with.

Flower Michele and Laurie from LA Blossom. We were torn between the 2 of them. We ended up going with Flower Michele. But I don't think you can go wrong with either of them.

the bo-k at the very end of the night the back of it where I was holding them up against me started to die a little. But I blame that all on getting married in June! The CP lasted a really long time over a week!

Designer Florals: Centered in Hicksville (they just moved)

Sharon Leah is the most talented and personable florist I saw. She is doing an amazing job on our flowers and she works with what you want and your style.

The first day we spoke, she began to pull flowers down and make something to show me right there, based on what I described that I had in mind. She's so creative...

I HIGHLY recommend her!

Joe at Pedestals! Quite possibly the only person in the world who can get my FH excited about flowers!

hahaha...same here...but we are working w/ Erin... after we left Pedestals FH was really into the flowers... it was great, and she made everything sooooo easy...
I think their prices are wonderful as well...
