Help me by Voting for a Florist

Hi everyone,

Today is my first day on the boards (though I've been peeking like an addict for weeks ) and I was hoping for some help with my next task--finding a florist.

If you could pick any of the following florists (all are reccomended by my hall) which would it be and why?

Thanks for your help!

I picked James Cress. They do some nice work. I love what they do.

I like them all, have heard good things about all 3, if you have trouble deciding meet with each one, also with any vendor check the BBB and word of mouth...good luck, lots of ladies have used all of them , they will give you advice...

Well, it's kind of like comparing apples and oranges because I think all three are of a different calibur. But in all honesty, I would also choose LABlossom, well, I did choose them, but that's not one of your choices, so I guess I just won't vote.

Wow! I didnt even think anyone knew much about JAmes Cress...they arent mentioned that much on the boards. I went on their website and everything looked 'pre-made' for FTD, which initially turned me off. I'll definately have to check them out in person to see how they create custom designs. They are located very close to home so at least it'll be conveienient.

Thanks for your advice....

Anyone else gonna vote? So many views!

La Blossom is really popular on this site....their work LOOKS so expensive...is it?

I have to admit they are really innovative...and beautiful.

Re: Help me by Voting for a Florist

I went to visit James Crest...he was about double what everyone else was...although his work is beautiful. I am using Flowers by Emil....also a vendor on this site. Saved me tons of money...definitely worth a trip to Brooklyn!

Re: Help me by Voting for a Florist

I'd strongly suggest checking with the BBB before booking any vendor.

You could also try doing a search on here also, but the info you get may be limited.

I never met with any of them, so I can't really give any opinions.

Good luck!
