Re: pedestals' brides

well, my only reservation is that when i met with them, i told them what my budget was and they said they really had to do some number crunching to make it work. but that leaves me to believe that it may take away from the quality and service. i just want to know if it's really that far from what they quoted other brides.

Re: pedestals' brides

well unless a bride has the same amount of flowers and type of flowers its hard to compare...one girl can have all roses that are less expensive and another can have all calla's that are alot more so it makes a big difference.

If you look at all past pedestal brides you'll see they were all happy, i havent seen complaints yet about pedestals. Just let them know you dont want them to take away from quality of work. They usually do help brides out and work with them and still do beautiful work.

I am using pedestals but not sure if my quote will help you. I have 25 high cp's with calla's, branches, orchids. Peonies bok, 10bm calla bok, 12 gm mini calla's, 5 nosegays for mothers and grandmothers. 12 calla pew bows, 2 floral altar arrangements

Denise, I'm actually looking for a very similar combination from a florist, If you don't mind sharing your quote.

Pedestals has a great reputation.

Perhaps they are able to get a discount based on your type of flower, time of year, etc.

Some arrangements require less work to create, so maybe yours is less labor-intensive.

I wouldn't worry if it was too good to be true, I would book!

I thought their prices were really great also, so I booked with them.

I am very pleased with their price, their work, their showroom, the people etc etc, but like said above, the price depends on what flowers you are getting, high or low CP's, the amount of BM's, church decor, house decor etc etc etc. Def book with them, I feel that their flowers are a higher quality than others

Re: pedestals' brides

I'm using Pedestals and they're the only vendor I felt was NOT giving me a deal.

I'm happy with them thus far (pending my sample that I'll see next Thursday)... but I felt they were somewhat more expensive that I could have gotten elsewhere.

Unfortunately, I have an INSANE work schedule and limited time to meet with vendors. I didn't want to go to 5 florists just to save a few hundred dollars... If you search, I posted a thread a while back about my price quote and what I was getting. I don't remember offhand.
