Floral vendor suggestions?

Who are you contracting for flowers??

I've heard of a few such as Beehive Events, DaVinci, Yellow Door, Amaryllis, a few suggested on my venue's recommended list. I would like to narrow the list to 2 or 3 to contact.

Also, how far in advance do you book them?

Thanks!

    I am VERY partial to DaVinci.  I've been working with Sharone and Krista there and they are awesome.  I've heard really good things about Amaryllis too.  Think they are a bit pricier.  DaVinci only asked for a small deposit so I booked them about 5 months in advance.

    I ended up signing a contract with Patricia Collet at Graceful Flowers by Patricia.  She runs her business out of her home, and really provided me with great individual attention and consultation.  Her prices were about the same as all the other quotes I got, but I really liked the personal attention.  She is in the Herndon/Oak Hill area. The other places I checked out (which were both HIGHLY recommended) were Maryam Flowers in Fairfax and Heaven on Earth flowers in the Gainesville/Manassas area.

    I went with Yellow Door. Very easy to work with and will help you with options. Not only are their flowers reasonably priced but, so is their delivery fee. A highly recommended florist on this site wanted $350 dollars for delivery and set up. Door to door from florist to our site 3 miles and on top of that, we weren't having that much delivered. Yellow Door, though further away was 1/2 the price on delivery .

    Good luck!  P.S.  I am a successful full-time videographer in the DC area and after hundreds of events; I feel I am qualified to offer this advice.  Regards, Cliff Matheson
