Re: which florist?

I've never heard of Flowers By Gina. But I've heard great things about Burtons.

So I dont have much to add to this, but good luck!

I called Burtons and the person I spoke with was not very nice. They also could not do my flowers because it was on July 4th.

I LOVE GINA!! I went to meet with about 10 florists and was not happy with anyone.
The moment I met with Gina, I knew she was my florist. She is so nice, answers all my questions right away. Very interested in my wedding! Emails me ideas that she has all the time! I dont think Burtons will be that personable.

FM me if you have any questions but IMHO if you want someone that feels like they are ONLY doing your wedding...GO with GINA!!
HTH!

I am using Gina and she is great! Her prices are reasonable and she is very attentive and responsive. Let me know if you want more info.

I am booked with Flowers by Burton's. I dealt with Mike, very nice and loved the price for everything that I will be getting.

I have seen pictures of their flowers from past brides and they were beautiful! I was very happy with what I had seen.

Re: which florist?

i met with burtons. i've heard mostly good things about them. the only negative i have really heard is sometimes the size of the bo-k's are too small, but im sure if you book with them you can just re-iterate the size you want.

i have no experience with flowers by gina

Re: which florist?

I ended up booking with Gina. I totally agree Gina is very personable which I love because she has never made me feel like 'it's just another wedding' She has emailed me ideas of what I might be looking for and together we come up things! She is not pushy at all, great prices, and wants to make sure you are completely happy with everything! IMO I would go with Gina. Happy Planning!
