Looking for a florist without interviewing tons of vendors

I am getting married in two months and would like ideas for quality and elegant floral design. Price is an issue but not if the flowers are incredible. I have been to Flower Michele and Greenleaf and Bloom, both of whom I loved. Just trying to get a few more ideas before I make my decision. Don't have much time to waste interviewing tons of Florists.

Thank you for your help. This is my first post and my second day on LI Weddings.

I am using Flowers by Burton. They are just amazing and very helpful. Not to mention they have the best prices ever!!!! The flowers are always fresh and you have your choice, as long as it's in season. I was referred to him after a wedding I went to and couldn't believe the quality, you can't go wrong between the work & price.

I used them for my wedding and was very happy. In fact I love my BOK so much I'm getting it preserved (and I hate flowers). Their prices are great too.

Do you mind if I ask who is preserving your flowers. I really would love to do that myself.

I went 3 different flowers flower places before i decided on Burtons too. They could give me exactly what I wanted within my budget. The others couldn't.

I am usually *********** Florists in Woodbury or *** Florists since the name always gets deleted on here. They gave me a great deal and so far so good. My sister used Burtons and loved them.

Ditto

She did a phenomenal job for my wedding and even painted my aisle runner for me when I was afraid to paint it myself. And she worked with my budget!!

I don't know what kind of flowers or price range you are looking for but Nancy from Open House Country did a beautiful job with our flowers. We wanted a more understated selection but her work is impeccable and she really loves what she does. She told me to trust her when I couldn't decide on something and I was so glad that I did. She is located in Stony Brook. FM me if you would like her phone number!
