Hi! We are starting to look at florists for our June '06 wedding!! I really love calla lilies and orchids for our bouquets, bouts and centerpieces, but i've heard they can be expensive. So, I would like to go see a florist who gives you a package price no matter what type of flowers you use! Any florists do that besides Jack & Rose?

Also, anyone using callas? Are they really that much more expensive than other flowers?

Thanks!
Jess

Jess - Try Flower Michele they are on Main Street in Huntington - John is wonderful and easy to work with, their prices are moderate/reasonable and they do exceptional work. That is who I am using - check them out they are a vendor on here.

Call Carmine at Flowers By Emil.. FH and I had the best experience meeting with him on Monday...

All the flowers at my wedding will be Roses, Callas, Orchids, Stephanotis, and a couple of other weird names that I can't remember.

Carmine showed us all different types of flowers that I never even heard of. He did mention that some where more expensive than others but when he gave me my estimate it was EXTREMELY REASONABLE!!!

He also sent me off with the most beautiful and biggest bouquet of flowers I have ever seen...

I am also using Flowers by Emil and have been working with Carmine...he has patience of a saint and is VERY reasonable...Most of my flowers will be black magic roses and he gave us a great price!! Whenever I meet with him he always sends me home with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers...he's the BEST!!
