  My cousin used them for her wedding at Nanina's and loved it! The flowers came out great, but her design was very simple. I went there for an appointment for my upcoming wedding and it was less than perfect- the appointment was rushed and the woman tried to include flowers that would be destroyed in the July sun/heat... even going as far as assuring me that they would be ok. I actually found other florists that were much more reasonably priced and knew more about flowers that would do well in the summer.
  
  I think its definitely worth making an appointment and seeing what they have to offer, but I would not make it your only stop. It never hurts to comparison shop, anyway. I hope this helps!

  Thanks. I plan on checking out a few other places as well. My wedding isn't until October, so I have some time. This place keeps coming up in conversations. Thanks!

  I'm not using them for my wedding but I have used them for YEARS for various bouquets. They do a beautiful job and have a great eye for detail. So, I can't speak to pricing but they have a great quality product!

  I'm using them for my wedding in June, i found them to be a pleasure to work with (I'm using Vanessa) She was very creative and seemed to really enjoy putting the ideas together for me, they ask you what you want to spend and work with you from there.  I also have many friends and family that have used them for weddings and funerals in the past and everything was always exceptional.

  I'm using them in September and working with Vanessa too. She is fantastic. As soon as I told her my budget, she said it was no problem and worked with me to keep it at that. She even gave me ideas to keep the price down and also offered ideas on flowers that looked like the ones I wanted. (The ones I had picked weren't in season). She has such a great personality too! I would definitely give them a try.

  Thanks so much everyone. When I called last week, I spoke with Vanessa. Planning on booking an appointment in April/May.
