Florist Recs

Found pretty much everything for our wedding. Now looking into floral. 

Wondering who you used? Doesn't matter price, I still want to look at every option. 

Thanks!

Lisa B. with Forget Me Not Floral and Events in Burnsville. She's been so great to work with!

I used Jeni from Simply Stated Elegance.  She's very reasonably priced, and my flowers were gorgeous on my wedding day.  I don't have any pics of them at the moment, otherwise I would show you.  I highly recommend her.  On our initial meeting we actually went to a florat wearhouse and picked out flowers that I thought would look good in a bouquet.  Then she just ran with the ideas we talked about and came up with something fantastic.

I'm using Flowers by Jackie.  She met with my mom and I and was super nice and helpful in coming up with ideas and then provided a full quote at the appt.  She also has a lot of great reviews on Wedding Wire.

I also met with Paeonia Floral and was NOT impressed.  A lot of their pricing is estimates, and they didn't seem to put as much work into the consultation.  Also, the person who was supposed to do the consult broke her foot the day before, and didn't bother to have anyone call  me to reschedule, so the person at the shop had to pinch hit for her.

Anna with Bumblebee Floral! She was amazing, nailed my vision (which was impressive considering I had to do all my consultations via email as I was out of state), was very reasonably priced and was super fun to work with on top of everything. Link to her page in my bio.

Thanks everyone! I found a ton of great new people I didn't know existed!

Cackle, I'll have to check her out since I decided to go with Elisabeth Ann since I always saw your pix! Thanks!

<div>Awww, yay! Elise was amazing, we really loved working with her and her pics were beautiful! Glad that you got to see ours! Let me know if you want to see more, I can PM you the website.</div><div>
</div><div>Anna isn't as well known as some of the others listed here, but she has a lot of weddings under her belt, and she really is just so sweet and was really fun to work with. I LOVED my bouquet, and wish I had gotten it preserved. I might have to order one on my anniversary or something, lol. :)</div>

HI!

I also used Jeni from Simply Stated Elegance.  She was great.  I gave her the colors I wanted and let her work her magic.  She did an incredible job on all the flowers. 

She also provided the flowers that were used to decorate the cake.  We got a lot of compliments!  Good luck!

I see a lot of posts about Jeni from Simply Stated Elegance and unfortunately I interviewed her and was pretty disappointed.  I felt like she wasn't listening to what I was looking for, she was pushing me towards things I didn't want and I felt like I couldn't tell her no.  But everyone is different and she has done some weddings for other people I know and they really enjoyed working with her.  I opted to go with Kari from KMB floral and a friend of mine did as well.  I am not getting married until 6/2013 so obviously I haven't seen my flowers yet but she was super easy to work with, her prices were great and she really made sure I was getting what I wanted rather than what she thought I should want.  The flowers she put together for my friend's wedding in September were beautiful and they held up great.

I used Colleens Flower Cellar for my 10/27 wedding and loved her!  The flowers were beautiful and she was very reasonably priced.

I know that jeni is direct and that she wants to get the most bang for your buck as far as flowers go.  I went in having a bunch of flowers in mind that I had no idea they of course are the most exspensive ones.she showed me alternatives that looked similar but where a huge cost savings.  If you want exactly what you want and don't care about costs...just tell her but I loved how she was out there to help save me money and work within my not so large budget.  I loved working with her and got amazing flowers.  I couldn't have asked for more.

<div>We used Bachman's in Richfield and our flowers were absolutely GORGEOUS!  They were really helpful, as I changed my mind completely about three times throughout the planning, and they never made me feel bad.  My photographer said that they were the most beautiful flowers he's seen, we couldn't have asked for anything more!</div>
