Question for Brides who used Flowers By Burtons

I am going next Saturday to pick out the flowers for the day and the centerpieces. How long do they usually spend with you? Besides pictures and swatches of materials what else do you recommend that I bring?

I'm going on Saturday too!! My appt is at 1pm.
I'm emailing them the pictures I have saved on my computer. I thouht about bringing a swatch in, but I don't have one. If they really need to see one, then I'll go to their bridal shop upstairs and point out the color.

I had my final awhile ago.

I brought pictures with me, the color of my girls dress and lots of questions.

They will bring out flowers and design for you to look at. It was a lot of fun. Enjoy and if you need anything else let me know.

Make sure you go over everything in detail and they write down all the things you're requesting. Definitely bring pictures if you have them.

I didn't find them to be as details-oriented as I would have like. They shorted me a boutinere and I was really disappointed with these 'alter-type' flower arrangements I got for the ceremony. We talked generally about what color scheme and types of flowers they were going to use but they never showed me a picture and I left it up to them to make something creative and beautiful, but it ended up looking like a jumbled bunch of flowers thrown together.
