Jonathan's Flowers

Any thoughts? He has the best prices so far (I haven't heard from Lee yet).

We didn't even look at them b/c the "older" knotties had some bad experiences with them when we first started posting here. Things may have changed since then, it's been 7 or so months.

I would never ever use him.  I've only heard bad things about him.  He's not worth the price.

run away as fast as you can! i still need to post my review..but in a nutshell... they messed up so bad that we had to set up our reception..like my hubby and I in our wedding attire...and flowers were falling out and much much much more....despite my 5 visits to his shops, millions of emails and probably more thorough than i needed to be they still messed up...save yourself the hassle!

Do yourself a favour and talk to Vicki at Peddles or David at Carly Ane's.

I switched from him to David with Carly Anes half way through my planning process.  One of the best decision I made!!

We had a good experience with him. Apparently, reading the above, we are one of few although I have heard of many other good experiences(and also some bad).
I was very specific(as I was with all my vendors) and had my day of go and check the flowers the day before and they were beyond perfect.
I didn't want much though and we did not do centerpieces(which is where many of his "issues" have come up)
We were on a budget and he was in our budget. We never looked at anyone else because of the price and honestly I don't think anyone else would have done any better. (I think it would have been the same)
Anyway my point is, I loved my flowers. You have to do what you feel comfortable with though. This is just MY experience.

i checked out my flowers all week during the week of the wedding with false promises and was probably way more specific than u were (i seriously labeled every vase and feather and crystal i gave them, practically idiot proof! and it was still  disaster! so much of a disaster I  got a $300 refund! oh and i should mention the fact that $80 worth of my crystals and stuff went missing (aka staff took it or who knows??) oh and they broke 4 of my vases the day before my wedding and made ME go replace them!.... wasnt ur planner kristy??? and if so, the reason ur stuff was so perfect was because of what happened at my wedding.... im not sure how he is even still open?

i know some ladies had bad experiences with him, but he did a good job with my flowers. pics in bio. he also did my SIL's wedding in march and her flowers were stunning. skhynes used him last year and loved all her flowers, too.

here's the deal: some brides think that flowers are a very important piece of the puzzle on their wedding day. if you want elaborate arrangements or are picky about things working out exactly how you wanted them to, then definitely do not use jonathan. if you have a very laid-back approach to your floral and just want something simple for the cheapest price, then you might be a good fit for jonathan. when it's all said and done, it's just flowers. i was happy to have the extra money in my pocket at the end of the day. good luck!

I had a wonderful experience with Dream Designs.

I wasn't picky about what I wanted, just gave her a general idea and let her run with it.

My bouquet came out amazing (to me, anyway) and the centerpieces were great.  I really thought I got a great deal for the price!

I have a review for Jonathan in my bio.
