Good florist experience but need help deciding....

So I went to a florist last night, (I am a little anal- it's my 3rd time there and I haven't booked them yet). They made me a sample of colors that I wanted however I liked the shape, size, base but I didn't like the flowers. Part was my fault- I told them specific flowers, then didn't like them. Even though they didn't make what I want, they are very willing to do whatever I want to get it exactly what I want. They are so nice and the price is very reasonable. Do I go with them? Or do I look around and around trying to find someone who can get it right on the first try? I am being very picky which I know but I am not sure what to do....

unless you love it
I would visit 2-3 florists and compare designs and prices

I have looked at 2 or 3 florists already and I haven't seen anything at any of these places. So I think it might just be me being picky. Yes- it was Pedestals and they were SO nice. I just don't know what to do.....

They were great with me....did you use Juda? She's so sweet. I'm making an appointment to see a sample in a couple of weeks. Pedestals will really work with what you want...and they have a great rep. They also know the Crest Hollow like their own store.....I say go for it if you are getting a great price! I wouldn't drive yourself insane going to a million places that could just confuse things....if you are getting what you want, go for it.

Yes i worked with Juda and Phil last night- both are SO SO nice. I just didn't see exactly what I wanted although I guess you never see EXACTLY what you want- its personal taste. I just want them to say here it is and it be perfect!!! I guess that is not realistic! I just like how they treated my mom and I- I can't tell you how nice they were. And I do love that they know Crest Hollow. I just don't want my flowers to look typical- I want different!

I agree, keep looking, and compare prices and what you will get in your contract. If you are unsure keep looking. Dont just settle because the price is great. YOU want to be happy.

How many places to do you look at? I mean will a centerpiece ever be the EXACT thing I am looking for? maybe it will and I haven't seen it yet but I'm thinking I'll need to create it.
