He was highly recommended by other LI Wedding brides and by my bridal salon (Valentina's Bridal----around the corner from his store/ he actually was the florist at the owners daughter's wedding). He actually took his time with us (3 hours) ---unheard off !!!
FH even interacted with him and was very pleased. The florist made him feel very comfortable.
He provided me with suggestions and I was lucky enough he was arranging centerpieces for another wedding (the same ones I love). I was able to see about 10 of them put together. He even allowed me to take photos (I will post them later).He listened and made suggestions all without making me feel foolish or anything.
Originally I had wanted the large calla lilies for my BQ and he advised me not to. He suggested the mini calla lilies because the large ones would overpower me. I am 5'21/2' and weight about 120. My dress is an A-line (as posted in my album) He actually put together a Bouquet of large calla lilies for me and a mini calla lilies one as well on t he spot.....he was right !!!!
He suggests a variety of things in order to save you money and if he thinks certain things won't work for you...he will let you know as well. He made me feel special and like my wedding would be the best !!!! We loved his prices and liked him so much that we signed the contract on the spot
