FSIL used them after she left Flowers by Brian crying....she had a little mishap on her wedding day, there was 1 bouttoneire (sp?) missing and they brought it to the church!
They definitely redeemed themselves with her, and her flowers looked great. They did exactly what she wanted....

Good Luck!

I am using Pedestal's in Queens. I've had a good experience so far. I don't think you will have a problem. I've heard all good about them.

She told them her budget, and they made up a piece that she fell in love with, and then blew her budget out of the water, so she felt like they were trying to rip her off.

I went there and were not happy. They were trying force flowers down me that i did not want for our wedding. To me they looked very x massy and we are Jewish- and when I told her that she said she knows what looks right, and was not giving me a choice. We walked out and went with another florist who made us very happy. This is just my opinion and was probably an isolated incident.

I am using Pedestals for my flowers. I know three other brides who have used Pedestals and have been extremely pleased. I met with Joseph cuz he did my best friend's wedding and I loved him. He was very nice and very knowledgeable.

What a coincidence..same thing happened to us AND the guy (who will remain nameless) kept brushing off my ideas as well as confusing our hall with another place.

My son and dil used them. I could not get over the magnificent job they did for not a fortune of money. I would so highly recommend them.

Re: Pedestal's Florist in Mineola

I've been to a three weddings that were done by pedistals and the flowers were beautiful!

Re: Pedestal's Florist in Mineola

My sister used them last August and the flowers were amazing. I booked them for my wedding in August. They are GREAT to work with. She had Ginny and I think that worked with Robert. When I was there to book them he made a couple of bouquets for me to look at with the flowers that I told him that I liked. You wont go wrong if you book them!

Re: Pedestal's Florist in Mineola

I booked them and I am very excited about it.

I got a great price for 6 centerpieces per table and I have 18 tables. I went to 8 diffrerent florists and they had the best price and were very easy to deal with.

I can't wait!
