I heard their prices are terrific but only found one review online. Has anyone used them? Thanks.

I'll be using Nathan for my Oct. wedding. I'm very pleased so far. He's a little, peculiar, but a very nice man nonetheless.

Actually, I'll save you the time. Here is my review.

Name: Nathan
Location: Elizabeth, NJ
Website: http://www.avenueflowerspc.com/
Price: $2,000

Being that I was getting married on Valentine’s Day, price was my main concern when it came to picking a florist. I am definitely not a flower girl and was looking for the bare minimum of
acceptable flowers for the cheapest price possible. Nathan gave me an incredible deal on my flowers.

I spent $2,000 on the following:
20 tall centerpieces (roses, mixed with other pink and white flowers)
60 candles
Sweetheart table flowers
Two church baskets on pillars
Bridal bouquet (roses)
7 bridesmaid bouquets (roses)
Toss bouquet (mini roses)
5 wrist corsages (roses)
10 bouts (roses)
Delivery to hotel, church and venue

In the end I was extremely please with my centerpiece. For $60 p/table they simply could not be beat. I was honestly less than thrilled with my bouquets and bouts. I thought my bouquet looked very skimpy and cheaply done. Part of this is definitely my fault. I walked in there without ANY idea of what I wanted, crying poverty and asking for a good deal. If I had done my homework, I think I would have spent a bit more on my bouquet. I also thought the bouts and corsages were OK but nothing special. They looked a bit cheap- which is exactly what they
were, so I can’t complain!

Nathan is an odd cat. He’s nice, but very longwinded. Every time I went in there I felt like I was stuck forever. I also wish he had a book of his work. He showed me a bunch of pictures in preprinted books, but I think he needs to take more pictures of his own work to show potential customers.

Centerpieces: A
Bouquets/Bouts: C-

Holey moley, lots of good feedback. Thanks ladies!!! I'm so glad I asked! Although I love flowers, I'm not willing to spend a boat load of money on them. I will definitely give Nathan a try.

Tiffany, I just looked at the flowers in your pics. They all look lovely! I actually prefer smaller bouquets and like yours a lot!! Thanks again for such a thorough write-up.

Hugauke- I wrote that review right after my wedding. Since then several other girls have used them and had much nicer bouquets than I did, but they also paid more for them than I did. I realize it was my own fault. I was bottom lining it while not knowing a thing about flowers and what the costs are.

We're using him for our October wedding as well and we've been very happy so far. He put together a sample centerpiece for free and he was full of ideas and suggestions. He actually did take us over to his computer and showed us photos of another wedding he had done and asked what we liked/didnt like. He just seemed so passionate about what he does and very willing to work with you.
