Florist Help!!!

Coleyon24 · February 2012

Can anyone recommend a great Florist?? I'm getting married in September at the Cescaphe Ballroom and trying to find a florist. I have an apt scheduled with Carl Alan at the end of the month, but wanted to make some other appoinments to compare. I'm trying to stay under $3300 if I can.

I loved my florist, Whimsical Welcomes. Leslie is very popular on this board. She might be a little bit far from S.Jersey for you but check out her work on her website and blog and then decide. She's super creative, great with a budget, and wonderful to work with.

I'm using Petals Lane - Brittany is the sweetest and she'll definitely work with your budget. I am 100% confident in her ability and professionalism. http://petalslane.com/

I visited with Petals Lane and Garden Party Sisters (in NJ) before meeting with (and falling in love with) Carl Alan. I really liked Petals Lane and Garden Party Sisters, too....but I'm not that creative and really liked being able to see the mock ups at Carl Alan before booking. That being said, definitely make appts with a few other florists before visin Carl Alan (and I think he even tells you to do that, so you have an idea what you want b/c he brings in exactly what you want). I'd recommend the ones I visited --- I've heard great things about their work. Garden Party was the least expensive of the florists I visited (and the tax in Salem County NJ where they're located is lower, which helps). Mary (the designer there) is very talented, friendly, and creative. I really liked her ideas. Brittany from Petals Lane was very nice, but I told her my budget and then her proposal came in double that and she wasn't very willing to work with the proposal, which I found to be bad business.

I am using Darlene with Precious Petals. She has two locations. Huntingdon Valley and Marlton, NJ. She is awesome. She did my sisters wedding too and she did some flowers for a photo shoot I had a work. She does amazing work. Carl Alan is great too....

Hmmm. That's weird. Her proposal was above what I originally wanted (slightly) and we ended up cutting it down to within my budget pretty easily.

And I didn't have a good experience with Carl Alan! So, I think the moral of the story is, make sure you meet with a few. You'll figure out who you want to work with based on your meetings and their proposals.

I can finally help with someithing. I feel all I do is take advice from all of you and give nothing back...

Florist... I've met with everyone in the Philly area. There are some really amazing florist out there, but I had no idea how expensive flowers are.

I was going to go with Roberston, then I met a girl at a bridal event at the Sofitel. She told me about Modern Touch. I worked with the owner Christine. She was a designer in NYC and moved back to Philly and opend her business. Her work is so amazing .She just has an eye for it or something. I felt she knew exactly what I was talking about and gave me some great unique ideas.

Robertson, no doubt are awesome, but Modern Touch was almost half the price for more.

Ok, that's my two cents. Back to planning...
