Help finding a florist

First make a list of what you need. What type of bouquet do you want, hand-held or casscading. How many BMs, Moms, centerpieces do you need. What type of centerpieces? You do not need ALL of the types of flowers, colors or specifics. Just ideas and counts of actual items that you need. (Rose petals for the flowergirl, and after the ceremony too). I recommend Burton's Rt. 110 in Melville. They are easy to work with, only do weddings and you can pick any flower you want. Laura's in Commack also does a great job but is on the pricey side. you can also search this board and get a ton of other good names. Then meet with them, get their ideas and prices. I hope this helps.

Flowers By Brian - We used them

They were wonderful. Everything was beautiful. We even received compliments on the flowers from MEN who attended our wedding. Flowers by Brian was the only place was looked, and they were worth every penny we spent. Lisa and Bobbi was exceptionally helpful in creating just the look my husband and I wanted. (Yes, my husband did actually have opinions about the flowers!) I`ve posted about our good experience with them several times. You can do a search for more, if you wish. Good Luck!
