Florists: Michele VS. April

I have been speaking to both of these ladies (from Indiana) and they both pretty much offer the exact same price. Therefore, it makes it hard to choose and I cannot go look at portfolios or meet in person.

So, ladies who have used one of these women for your wedding, gimme the dish! The good, the bad, and the ugly. Be as honest and detailed as you can please, it is much appreciated!

    I used April. I didn't have any ugly, but I wasn't very picky with flowers. She did have 2 errors on the invoices, which I caught, but I honestly think they were mistakes, I don't think she was being shady (& I rec double checking ALL invoices from every vendor). Everything arrived on time & clearly marked, like I asked for. There's pics in my married bio. I thought the flowers were beautiful. Anything specific, just ask.

    I met with Michele, and it was weird because she has NO photos of her work, and she called me "honey" every other word which was kind of grating after a while. She's very nice, but I ended up going with The Parsonage in Clarkston. Michele did say we'd go to the flower place before the wedding to look at things, but I just wasn't comfortable with not being able to see prior things she had done- and really wasn't able to google much from other brides who used her.

    I met with Michel..didn't like the vibe and she always seemed to busy to fully understand what I wanted. So, I moved on to April. I met with her, I adore her. Her work is great for the prices and after seeing her FB page and other weddings she had in her little album, I was sold. Mink's flowers were pretty and my bestfriend has booked her as well. GL!

    Also, I must say..I am getting A LOT for what she is charging me.

    How do I contact April and is her Facebook page public?

     I used Michele - I'm in FL and never actually met her. Whenever I did talk to her on the phone she seemed great! I basically booked her off of one wedding she did (Amanda from Vintage Glam). My mom never had any issues with her either... she created the exact look that I wanted! There was not one flower arrangement that I didn't like.
