Monmouth county florist recommendations!!

Any suggestions?  I'm having the hardest time coming up with ideas for flowers, let alone meeting with a florist.  Anyone have any good recommendations?  thanks!

    Fiori Bella Designs in Freehold - totally creative. I had a half a vision when I went to them and they talked me through everything to solidify a game plan.

    We are getting married in Monmouth County but using Flowers by Addalia in Toms River. Well worth the travel. The prices were unbeatable and they mocked up a centerpiece right as I was describing what I was looking for. I met with 5 florists in Monmouth and Ocean. Flowers by Addalia is by far the best.

    Our wedding is in Freehold and the florists we checked out were:

    Fiori Bella - Not bad and very nice and down to earth, but didn't have a lot of pictures to show us of higher end pieces which we were looking for and we wanted to make sure whoever we chose had a lot of experience with the type of stuff we wanted. The other thing was that this was the first florist we went to and I specifically asked if the flowers I wanted were in-season and they kind of ignored my question...it took over a week to get our quote and when we received it I was told the flowers I wanted were not in-season and were substituted. I wish I knew that right then and there, as every single other florist told me during the meeting that the same flowers were not in-season.

    Especially For You - Just your average florist, point blank told us they had never done what we were looking for and told us we needed to buy our own hanging crystals, etc. and wanted to charge an obscene amount of money...possibly because they just didn't want to get involved with our project.

    Garden State Flowers - Pretty solid work, probably our runner-up, knew what they were talking about as to what's in season and what's not. Had nice picture examples to show us of their work, and were very fair in price.

    Floral Sentiments - I never in my life met someone who gave me an anxiety attack and made me want to leave an appointment....until I went here. She showed up 20 minutes late, insulted/belittled her employees in front of us, tried to take advantage of us, and tried to tell me what I wanted. Total disaster. AVOID!

    Rose Petals & Lace - This is the florist we are using. I found her through recommendations on this board, and Linda really met our expectations in what we were looking for in a florist. She had a TON of pictures with amazing quality work and had plenty of examples of the type of pieces we were looking for. She did not take advantage of us and by far made us feel the most confident in what we will be getting for our wedding. I know it is going to be beautiful. We are not on a tight budget for flowers, but many girls on here are and they are also using RP&L and she also stayed within their budgets - so she will def. work with you no matter what you are looking for. I strongly recommend RP&L.

    I'm using Something Nice Floral Designs which is moving to Pt Pleasant. I looked at Rose Petals and Lace as well as Petal Beach and she was the best priced florist! Carol is also really organized and very helpful in suggesting flowers and ideas, which some of the others I looked at were unable to do.

    I second rose petals and lace. They are in east Brunswick but it's not too far out of Monmouth county . They did a great job at my wedding and worked with our budget.

    @Cutiepie...

    I met with Floral Sentiments as well and FELT EXACTLY THE SAME!

    That lady is nuts and made my head spin.  Not to mention, she knew I was looking into another florist and still sent me a very RUDE and unprofessional email about why I haven't booked with her yet.  I would NEVER recommend them.

    I am using Daisy Lane Florist in Keyport.  Joann is VERY nice and VERY creative.

    I am using Rosie Posies out of Manalapan.  Felicia was very nice, and I'm going to see a mock up in a few weeks!

    I am also using Rose Petals & Lace. Linda was super nice and worked within our budget. She definitely understood everything that I wanted and also made recommendation. They are located in East Brunswick but really not that far from Monmouth County.
