ive been looking for florists, and they are ridiculous in prices!! they vary so much from florist to florist! anyways, one of the more reasonable quotes was from ocie floral in naperville...anybody use carol at ocie floral? would you recommend her? did she give you what you asked for and envisioned for your wedding?

    I used Ocie for my wedding (although it was 2 years ago now). My flowers were beautiful! Exactly what I wanted! Carol was great to work with too. I'd recommend them.

    We will be using Carol at OCIE in November-we liked her right off the bat and she has worked in our budget giving us what we envisioned.  Obviously we have not seen her actually work yet-we have 40 days to go.  But we are quite comfortable with our decision and can not wait to see how it turns out!

    Hey,  I'm in the same area as you and had a similar struggle.  I looked at like 6-7 different vendors... I did NOT call her (Ocie), so I can not comment on her prices....But hands down, if you're unsure... check out www dot artmillersflorist dot com.  They were a last second call, and are doing my bouquet with mostly orchids, hydrangeas, and calla lilys for under a $100.  UNDER.  So, I thought that was pretty awesome.  I met with her last week (Linda) and she's even letting me go with her to the place where she gets flowers and pick out my own... Just a thought.  I don't know what you were quoted, but if you want more info... just let me know!  (or heck, just email the place and get a quote for what you're looking for)  And I promise, they are much more modern than their site appears... Many people have recommended me to them..(because I was skeptical at first)Best of luck!
