    We are going with  Nancy at Albuquerque Florist for the ceremony arangements and personal flowers and another women (who is making our 14 ft trees with hanging orchids for the reception) but I can't remember the name of her company. I think it is Edit: Signature Sweets. Her work is amazing. She is super creative. I am getting married in 30 days, so I will be able to write out a full review.Good luck!

    Savon flowers is good and their prices are very reasonable.  I've heard hit or miss with their customer service but they were very pleasant to me.

    I've heard really good things about both Savon and People's flowers.  I was going to check out Manning, but I think they're a lot more expensive.

    Manning does an awesome job, but he is way way expensive!!! He quoted me 1200.00 for 40 calla lilies!! Osuna was decent, they probably arrange nice flowers, but have only been doing weddings for 1 year and dont have many pics to show.. I am going to try Savon next :)

    I loved the Flower Shop at Nob Hill! He and his wife were great, but it was a lot over my budget.

    Albuquerque Florist came in under my budget and could do every single thing that I wanted, including a huge, lush, extravagant piece for the sweetheart table. When I initially interviewed them almost a year ago, I doubted they would do nice arrangements just because of the price, but everyone from my wedding planner to the hotel planner said they did great work, so I went with them.

    Worst case scenario, the flowers aren't *exactly* what I want, but who's going to know the difference except me?

    (Plus, on the initial consultation, they showed us a sample centerpiece filled with all the flowers they would use and let us take it home for free!!!)

    Wow!  Thanks for the tips everybody!  Hopefully I will find something that works ASAP.  I have mostly been trying to work with local independing florists that sorta do it out of their homes...I think I may try Savon for sure and maybe check out a few of your other recommendations! 

    Thanks for the help

    Thanks for the info I am going to try albuquerque florist, the sound great. I had a consultation with Sonrisa Blooms, its on 4th. I really liked the owner, shes sweet and basically finished my sentences (in a good way.) She knew exactly what i wanted. The only reason I am hesitant is because my wedding is the day before mothers day and she sounded like she had some hesitation since shes usually busy with mothers day.

    I'm not a regular on this board anymore, our wedding was in October 2009, but I like to snoop around here and give my input once in a while. 
    We used Savon and were very happy.

    Ps - I'm working on deleting my siggy; it's super-annoying there.
