Florists recs.

My sister is getting married in NH and I recently got married.  We met with a florist in Nashua and the quote seemed very over-priced.  I was wondering who else people are using with good prices and great quality?

    I am scheduling an appt with Susanne's weddings. I haven't met with her yet or gotten any pricing from her, i've just been emailing with her but she seems willing to work with any budget and is very flexible with appt times.

    Good Luck!

    I used Lydnsey Loring Designs, she's out of Dover but will travel all over to deliver. I loved my flowers and she was very reasonable.

    <div>Just a question about Lyndsey....did you get mother's corsages and if so, do you mind me asking how much?  I feel like that is where the florist we went to was wayyyy over-priced.  I used a florist in MA but my sister is trying to avoid that due to taxes</div>

    I'm using Lydnsey Loring Designs.  Her quote was over $2,000 less than other quotes I received.  I can give you a price break down of what she's giving me so you have an idea if you like.

    She is awesome!

    We did a small bouquet for my mom and I believe it was $15 and we did pin on corsage for my MIL, and grandmothers, those were $10 each. She has all the pricing online:

    Depending on what you want for flowers it might go up, like calia lilies, but I used lavender roses.

    There are some pictures in my profile but there are more on my photographers FB page.

    I'm using Lyndsey as well.  Pin-on mother's & grandmother's corsages start at $10, and wrist corsages start at $15.

    I've loved working with her so far, she's been really effective in helping me to save money on my flower budget, and has some great ideas for achieving my vision.  I had no clue what I wanted when I walked in aside from "purple," and she was really great helping me to find flowers I liked that fit into my budget.

    We are using the Village Bouquet out of Farmington.  FI's uncle is the owner, so this is his wedding gift to us, but he can do a lot with peoples budgets.

    Ok I think I am going to have my sister see Lyndsey.  The florist we went to quoted 31.95 for the mother's wrist corsage and $10 for each boutt. even though the GM boutts. are carnations (my sister's fav. flower)  seemed a little high.

    This is what she was looking for:

    her bouquet---cascading
    5 BM bouquets
    6 GM boutts.
    2 father's boutts.
    Groom boutt.
    2 mother's wrist corsages

    She was quoted about $650 

    The flowers being used are ivory roses, carnations (again her fav.), and something else....can't remember but def. not a ton of diff. flowers.

    I'm using PJ's Flowers in Bedford... Patrick is great!

    He set up an initial appt. to see what we wanted then 2 weeks later set up another appt - he had the flowers there to show examples of everything.
    He is doing our floral centerpieces - they are included in our package at our venue. He did a wonderful job keeping what I want within the budget and did not charge any extra.

    My flowers are orchids and calalillies -- so I expected the quote to be more..
    Our quote for everything is about $650

    my bouquet, orchids and calalily
    a seperate bouquet to toss
    4 bridesmaids bouquets - all orchids and calalily
    2 mother pin coursages - orchids
    4 grandmother pin coursages - orchids
    groom bout. - calalily
    5 groomsmen bout. - calalily
    2 fathers, 1 grandfather bout - cala

    It may be too far north for you, but we're going with Cobblestone Design Co. in Concord.  They are known in Concord for putting together bright, beautiful, and up-to-date floral arrangements, and when I met with them, I knew instantly that they could put together my vision.

    Have you tried Anne's Country Florals in Hudson, NH?  They have reasonable prices and nice designs.  Anne is very pleasant to work with.  (we are not using her though--we chose someone closer to our venue).

    We used Creative Gardens in Lee (got married in MA). Very well priced and very happy with the service/product. She has prices on her website.

    I'm not sure about his delivery charge... my floral centerpieces are part of my package from my venue so he said the delivery charge was covered thru that contract.

    Which florist did you meet with? I went to Fortin Gage in Nashua... they're flowers are gorgeous, but hugely expensive. I'm going to use my step mom for most of my flowers.. She owns Natural Designs in Plaistow NH and her work is the best I've seen. Good luck!

    I used PJ's as well (granted it was almost 3 years ago now...), but delivery was $50.  He even picked up the arrangements my mother made at home and delivered them to the venue as well!

     Fortin gage is who the package includes but the bouquets and such are overly ridiculous.</div>

    We were quoted well over $2500. That being said, the flowers were supposed to be "included"..
