How Many....

How many florists did you guys look at before you booked? I've only been to one so far...and I'm ready to book them. I went to Burtons and I think they gave me a great price and Jill was really nice.

I was supposed to meet with Flower Designs by Rose tonight...but I decided (after my mom freaked out--for a good reason) That having my florist come from Queens..or brooklyn or wherever it is might not be the greatest idea when my wedding is in Eastern Nassau Cty. So, I cancelled.

My mother keeps telling me to look into The Little Flower Shoppe in Lindenhurst, but I've never seen a review about them or heard of them do a wedding.

I was also considering going to Towers Flowers on 231 in North Babylon.

Anyone have any advice, comments, suggestions, or reccomendations?

(PS--I emailed Flower Michele and never got a response, they are also a bit far so I'm really not considering them.)

me too.....they did my sisters and did my 1 cousins so i just went there and booked!

i met with ---2 ---flower michele and flowers by brian.... they were very similar in price but i just liked the ideas i got from flower michele. i would def go to another for the sake of comparison...

for me is was a great eye opening experience..i thought i was set on calla lilly's and once i saw their pics i changed my tune!!

good luck!

1 - LA Blossom
I saw her work at the LIW anniversary party and I loved it.

2

booked with burton's--they have the best prices!

I met with 4 - including Designs by Rose...they do beautiful work, and are completely reliable.

I had a ceremony in Bklyn, and ended up using a Long Island Florist....had no problems what-so-ever.

I would recm'd seeing Rose & Doris - they have amazing prices!

14. I'm very picky!

Seriously though, I was adamant about seeing a sample before I booked, and not every florist is willing to do that. I wanted someone that made me feel like I was the only bride in the world (even though I might be one of 5 weddings being handled that weekend), who was enthusiastic and demonstrated (IMO) a love for their job. Then of course was price and who could or couldn't work with my budget.

IMHO, I found everything I was looking for when I booked Nancy at Open House Country - it just took me a while to find her!
