Red, did you post your proofs?
Me want see!

LOL

Did you find that they were really expensive? Cause that's the consensus I hear about them. Also, how was the customer service

Jenn, if I search for your review, do I search for RedHead or your old SN?

I agree. I was under the impression that they were very expensive but I figured I would go and just get a quote. To my suprise they weren't expensive at all. I got so many extras at no charge. I am working with Lisa, she is wonderful. Also what I really liked about them is the day before the wedding you go there and see your bouquets. This way if they need any changes they will fix it before the day. I highly recommend them.

I looked at Pedestals and Flowers By Brian. And I went with FLowers by Brian.. They included so much more free of charge. Both Florists were about the same price. When we went in to see the sample, Flowers By Brian did a much better job!!!

Re: Pedestals Vs. Flowers By Brian

I met with both of them and ended up going with Pedestals. Honestly, there wasn't really a price difference between the two, it just came down to the fact that I felt more comfortable with Pedestals. I would say to go meet with both of them and then see how you feel.

Re: Pedestals Vs. Flowers By Brian

Both do beautiful work. I can't tell you which one is better cause I loved Laurie at La Blossom she came in cheaper then anyone I looked at. You should check her out! Her and my DJ were my favorite vendors!

Re: Pedestals Vs. Flowers By Brian

Thanks so much! You've really helped. I wasn;t going to consider FBB at all, because i heard they were so expensive, now I'm going to look at both!

Re: Pedestals Vs. Flowers By Brian

I went to both for quotes and although I got alittle bit more from Flowers by Brian it really equalled out in the long run. I felt that Pedestals paid more attention to me when I was telling them what I wanted were the guy I met with at Flower by Brian couldnt wait to get out to the next couple and as we left actually ignored us when we tried to say thank you and goodbye, he was already pitching to the next customers before I could put my coat on. I think they both do the same incredible work though from what I have heard and seen. So I would go with whoever makes you comfortable and beats the quote of the previous.

I don't know anything about Flowers By Brian but I used Pedestals. I was very happy with them. They listened to what I wanted and I was so happy on my wedding day with my flowers. I received so many compliments from my friends and family about how beautiful the flowers were.

I have to use Pedestals or Flowers By Brian because to my understadning their the only ones who can do the draped ceiling at NRC

I am getting the ceiling done at the NRC, and there were only a handful of florists who could do it, my catch was that I am the second wedding of the day. Which ever florist I went with had an hour and a half to do it.

Between the three florists I met with, Stefans gave me the cheapest quote, but I booked Pedestals.

I also met with FBB but they couldnt assure me they could do the ceiling in the time frame.

Ill let you know in two weeks how it went!!

Hey...actually NO they aren't that expensive... more than some others yes but not outrageous!

I deleted my review a while ago sorry

Re: Pedestals Vs. Flowers By Brian

I am using Pedestals...After seeing Flowers by Brian at a showcase, i was not thrilled with Brian's attitude...One of my friends went to meet with him & he didn't even give her the time of day..She ended up getting pricing from the secretary...

OOh let me know how it went.

II'm the 2nd affair on my date too, but the first one is a bat mitzvah I think, so hopefully it won't be as long an affair and will have less clean up? Wishful thinking on my part, maybe...but let's hope. Plus the afternoon affair ends at 5 and my cocktail hour isn't until 7:30... I hadn't even THOUGHT about timeframe. I hope there's enough time!

OMG - That is going to look so amazing! I can't wait for your pics & review!!! Good luck and best wishes!!

I haven't booked my florist yet, but I am most likely going to go with Pedestals. I have 2 friends who went with them and were very happy!
