To Brides Using Pedestals Florist

Do you know if, shortly before the wedding, Pedestals makes a sample of your centerpiece to see?
I know other florists do that (Flowers By Brian made one for my FBIL).

Yes they will. They actually made 2 for us since we wanted to make changes to the first one. We worked with Danny there.

Yes they do!

I went and spoke with Dany... he was fabulous. He said whenever we are ready, he will make a sample center piece to look at before we booked them

I thought that was a nice touch! He had wonderful ideas, and I am pretty certain their arrangements will come out gorgeous, however, they seemed a little bit expensive... but then again I do have 9 BM's, about 20 centerpieces, etc... so I guess that adds up!

Good luck on your florist search!

Thanks for the feedback. I booked through Nadia (at the Ozone Park) store, but I am sure their policies are universal.

One suggestion to you...TAKE PICTURES. Danny made a sample for my sister a few weeks before the wedding and they were perfect, exactly what she wanted! However, come wedding day her flowers looked nothing like the sample. I have to give them credit though...once she showed pictures side by side of the two she was given some money back.

I also worked with Danny and loved his work! We got to see what he thought of before we booked and the centerpiece was even more beautiful than we imagined! We also just went again on Sun. to pay off our balance for our 10/20/02 wedding and he had made up the centerpiece agian for us to make sure everything was as we wanted it, which it was. I would definately recommend Pedestals (and Danny). I'll post more about Pedestals in my wedding review in a few weeks.

Best of luck!
