Which Florist Should I Use?

I'm going to choose the top 3 florists polled to visit...

Which florist did or will you use and why?

We're using FBB and we love them. We got the most for our money and they were willing to work with us.

Re: Which Florist Should I Choose

I chose Flowers and Designs by Gina. She does fantastic work, is very reasonable, will work with you on your budget to try and get what you want for your price, and is an absolute sweetheart.

Her work is stunning, I have samples of my centerpieces in my albums, and she is wonderful to work with

Re: Which Florist Should I Choose

I chose Designs by Rose for many reasons.

First, they are a very small company...so you know that the owner, Rose, who you meet with when you make an appointment, is the person who will be working on all your arrangements and bouquets (along with her assistant who was trained by her). At a lot of the big florists, you have no idea who is putting your flowers together and it is possible that the floral designers have undergone different trainings from each other (which means they may have different styles).

Second, Rose is very affordable!! She gave me an AMAZING price for my flowers and I couldn't be happier. Just tell her what you want and your budget and she will work with you.

Third, their work is phenomenal!!! Rose is an extremely talented florist.

Fourth, they gave me a lot of nice ideas for my flowers! They showed me a lot of different pictures of arrangements/bouquets they have done during my meeting because I was undecided about some of my flowers.

Let me know if you have any questions!

I can't give my 100% definite choice (since I'm meeting with her Saturday) but Designs by Rose has given me the best quote and she'll make you a sample CP before you book which is a huge plus to me!

Re: Which Florist Should I Use?

I just went to Designs by Rose today and i was so confused... she basically brought me back to my original plans.. I am glad that i meet with her bc she didnt pressure me at all.. I am waiting for her proposal so i know my exact costs but she works soo well with my budget and i did a very low budget!

Pedestals but then again I'm using them . Their work speaks for itself.

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED Designs by Rose. I can't recommend them enough.

They did all of my wedding flowers at an amazing price. Here's a few examples- my CP, bridesmaid boks, my bok and altar baskets:

Hey, we are venue twin. I just booked Pedestals. The sample they have in the show room are amazing and people are very nice. Reasonable price too:)

Re: Which Florist Should I Use?

I'm using Pedestals.

My RH said I can only use Pedestals, Flowers by Brian, Jack and R0ze (blocked vendor on this site), Spitz and Peck and Fleurs di Florissima.

The last 2 are pricy. I didn't want to even try J and R b/c they had a patch of bad complaints in the past.

So, between Pedestals and FBB, I liked Pedestals more.

I was only required to put down a $200 deposit for Designs by Rose. But I think it varies depending on the total cost of flowers. FYI -- you can pay the deposit by check...but Rose said that she won't charge me tax if I pay the remainder in cash when it's closer to the wedding.
