Triad brides...who did your flowers?

Since I'm not using flowers in my centerpieces or at all in the ceremony decor, I was just going to order the bouquets & such from fiftyflowers.com but now I'm not too sure. I just assumed it would be cheaper than a regular florist without having any idea what a florist would charge so I thought I'd try to get in a consultation or two just to be sure I'm not making a mistake. 

Soooo who did your flowers? I tried searching the board but surprisingly came up empty. Wedding is @ Millennium Center in downtown Winston in November so I suppose they'd have to be within a reasonable distance. AND I'm kindasorta on a tight budget so if they were particularly reasonable that'll be a huge plus!

Thanks :)

    Our flowers cost way less than I thought they would, and we were so so pleased with them. Pics are in my bio.

    We used Herron House in Thomasville.  John is awesome, and I know he does events in Winston.  www.herronhouse.com

    I'm using Sherwood Florist on Robinhood Rd. They are priced really good. I looked at Bo Ty Florist on Trenwest (near Forsyth Hospital) and they are priced similar to Sherwood. I went with Sherwood because it's less than a mile from the church.

    We used Lisa with Design North in Greensboro.  I thought the prices were reasonable, and I think they can work with any budget.  Loved their work and Lisa was wonderful to work with.

    Thanks, gals! There are so many florists out there to choose from, I really didn't want to just pick a random one to call so these will give me a good starting point :)

    Really? It's working when I click on it.  Does it work for anyone else?  ETA, it's been getting hits, so maybe try again.

    Print screen showing my error. Maybe the problem is Chrome. Boo :(

    I'm sorry, I don't know what to tell you.  I can get it on chrome on my Mac.




    But here's a few pics anyway:

    Bride's bouquet


    With the bridesmaid's bouquets:



    One of the centerpieces (they were all different)


    Altar:



    John also arranged the flowers on the cake (please don't look at the cake itself)

    Wow, gorgeous!!! I'm going to call today to get some appointments set up for next week & will definitely set one up with him. 

    Aww you didn't like your cake? Who did it? He did a great job with the flowers on it!

    We're using Green Bee out of Winston Salem.  Our quote came in way less than I expected and exactly on budget.  I just had my bridals done last week and she sent my bouquet up with our planner, it was beyond my expectations!  They're very creative and stay informed on what's trending in the bridal world!!
