Re: Really need florist help

I'm not using them but I did take a look at them and know people who have got AMAZING deals. They are called Flower Michelle. They are very sweet. We ended up going with Flowers by Brian. Good luck!

Re: Really need florist help

I'm using Designs by Rose. I highly recommend her. I'm on a super tiny budget and didn't think I would be able to have flowers centerpieces at all. I was quoted prices from Burton's, Flowers by Brian, Flower Michelle and Designs By Rose came in a few hundred dollars cheaper than all of them. Rose and her mother are really nice too. They will help you pick flowers and designs that will fit in your budget without sacrificing the look that you have in mind. They also have great reviews on here. Good luck with your planning!

Re: Really need florist help

also check out local florists that don't advertise on here. they can be cheaper as they're not as in demand, but still just as good.

Re: Really need florist help

My daughter got married in Nov. We used Tim's Florist in Massapequa Park. Gail did wonderful work. They made a sample centerpiece for each mom the night before the wedding for the rehearsal dinner. The colors werent exactly what we had wanted. She came to our house at 8 am the morning of the wedding with some other sample flowers/colors. My daughter chose the flowers and they made the centerpieces perfectly!! They were very accomodating and reasonable.

Re: Really need florist help

I would not recommend Flower Michelle. He recently lost a business
partner a few months ago. He had rave reviews up until 7/07. . Personally we switched to Pedestals who did a fabulous job. We switched because we didn't have faith in John's ability to pull off the flowers for our wedding. He seems very understaffed. When we were to see our sample he cancelled because the truck shipment didn't show up and he didn't know when they would show up. When we met with him he did not seem to have the talent of putting together different color combinations of flowers that looked right together. After the truck never came we waited to hear from John and he was very delayed in his responses to our calls. We cancelled using flower michelle early 10/07. He said he would send us a refund for our deposit. We have called a few times to find out when we will get the refund. We were told John would call us back about a date we would get our check and it has not happened yet. We were told he has a list of people he has to send refunds to and it could take 60-90 days to get a refund. So how many brides have cancelled their weddings with flower michelle. I know he has good prices and has had good reviews in the past but I personally could not take a chance and be disappointed.

Re: Really need florist help

We used Flower Michele and were satisfied. That said, our wedding was in 5/07 and even then it would take a while for John to call back. We were happy with his work, but because of the delay we were unable to schedule a sample for my bouquet (only the centerpiece was done the first time). FTR, his was the lowest quote we came upon. Good luck.

Re: Really need florist help

You can try LABlossom. I am using her and she is a great person to work with. I compared her to some others and she seemed the most reasonable to me. Good Luck!

Re: Really need florist help

I heard Burton is really good and has great prices

Theatrimelz Posted: Dec 18, 2007 10:31 AM

Re: Really need florist help

I second LA Blossom!!!!! Very creative and a great person. I was on a budget and did not find Flower Michelle to really give much for the budget I gave them.

Re: Really need florist help

I highly recommend Designs By Rose. EVerything was better than I imagined it would be. They are very affordable and Rose is wonderful. I explained what I was looking for without being so specific and she hit the nail on the head! Beautiful work! Everyone was raving about my CP's!!!!
