Budget Florist Suggestions?

Since you guys are so helpful, I now cannot book a vendor without getting the knottie input...

Who have you found to be the most bang for your buck for flowers?  I contacted Katie Elfers but she is unavailable and I am currently talking with Susan Foy of the Wedding Designer.

I also considered doing Krogers but I have heard a few people say their flowers didn't look the best and that they don't deliver.

We are on a pretty tight budget so please let me know if you have any recommendations and if you dont mind, what you are paying for flowers.

TIA!

    Hi!  I had similiar issues, but eventually booked Nancy King with Summer Garden Florals.  She has extensive examples of her work - all of which are amazing - and her prices are unbeatable.  Not to mention, she's just a really sweet lady to work with. 

    Her information is:
    PH:  513-528-4908
    Email:  nancysgf@hotmail.com
    Address:  4274 Cider Mill Drive, Cincinnati, OH  45245

    Good luck!

    We are using Susan Foy. We loved her and her prices are reasonable, from what we've seen. We aren't doing anything too elaborate, but we're at about $500

    We looked at another place and they quoted us twice the price that Susan did.

    Susan Foy is amazing. She is easy to work with, responds fast, and I have nothing but the best to say about her.  The best part is that her quotes always came much lower than other florists.  More bang for the buck!  We're so happy we chose her.

    Blossoms Florist (carol) was probably my very favorite vendors... she is wonderful and her prices are SO reasonable...  (even cheaper than DIY'ing at the flowerman!) DEFINITELY check her out...

    We are using Two Little Buds. I'm not sure if they are considered a 'budget' florist, but we are getting a fantastic price, for a TON of flowers.

    secret garden in florence.  quote was less than susan foy, but not by much.  You can also buy flowers wholesale from them soooo cheap, like almost as cheap as sams, if you want to diy some stuff to save cash.  They are awesome.

    I actually had my flowers done at Krogers. They were so much cheaper than any florist I found. You have to take them a picture of exactly what you want, but they'll make it, and do it a lot cheaper.

    Ditto Susan Foy!  She really helped bring my vision to life.  I have all the confidence in the world in that my flowers will be gorgeous (and centerpieces)!

    I booked Village Floral in Loveland.  She works with any budget.
    Good luck!

    Krogers sounds like a great idea for a good budget! Did you just by flowers and make your own? Or can you actually order wedding flowers???
