Flowers?

egeurts

Hey,

    Does anyone have any suggestions for central mn florists that are reasonably priced? I feel way too inexperienced to DIY flowers, but I'm on a budget. I was considering fake ones, but that seems to be frowned upon if quality is desired. I don't plan on doing a lot of floral stuff, just bouquets and maybe a few decorations, but I have no idea where to start. Any help would be appreciated. I'm getting married in the St Cloud area. 

Thanks.

I am going with the Sartell Coborns he is super nice and goes with what you want. I ordered my flowers for my center pieces and flowers for my bouquet and the BM bouquets off of Save-On-Crafts.com. but Coborns is doing the boutonniere and corsages for the ushers parents and such. very reasonable prices. Why I also decided to go with fake flowers for the most part is because the type of flower I wanted ( Orchid) and they are delicate and expensive..

I got married in St Cloud and went with Lisa from Forget Me Not Floral Events (info in my bio). I LOVED her and would recommend her to just about anyone! And I was completely picky on my flowers and on a super tight budget as well!

I will second Lisa.  My wedding isn't until September, but she is amazing!

I don't have any florist recs, but just wanted to say that I don't think there's anything wrong with fake flowers. The only flowers we had were simple bouquets for MOH and myself, and some inside lanterns with a candle where we stood for the ceremony -- all were artificial. Now we didn't compliments on the flowers specifically (I didn't expect any) but we did have a lot of people tell us how nice the wedding looked overall.

Take this with a grain of salt -- I just wouldn't necessarily (sp?) count out fake flowers.

I am using Lacey from Inutitive Blooms! I have heard from other knotties that she does an amazing job and I have seen pictures of her work. She also understood my vision and kept it all under my budget.

I am in the same boat.  I don't want to pay for the cost of real but hate the way some fakes can look.  I am only doing the boutiques and boutineers.  Another fellow Knottie introduced me to this and I'm blown away.  I'm totally considering it especially since it's something I can keep forever!
