florist...help!

Hello Everyone,

I am in the process of finding a florist.  I took friends and other knottie's advice and looked into Stylish Blooms, The Flower Girl, and Just For You.  Stylish Blooms and Just For You are already booked on my wedding date.  I met with Kelly at The Flower Girl wedding.  She was really nice, but my mom wasn't impressed with her arrangments.  We both like her personally, but have some reservations about her designs.  I was thinking about have her do a trial run of the centerpieces.  Has anyone used her?  If so, could you post pictures please. 

Also, does anyone have any other florist recommendations?  I'm getting married at Cascade in October.  I would appreciate any suggestions!

    I highly recommend Candi's Floral Creations (North Branford).  She was wonderful to work with and did such an amazing job.

    I highly, highly, highly recommend Leah from It's So Ranunculus. Her prices were almost the same at Melissa from Stylish Blooms, but Leah has a better personality and lots of creative ideas! Definitely contact her! http://www.itssoranunculus.com

    Yikes! That came out more harsh than I expected. Melissa was nice, and if we had not met with Leah, we would have booked her. Leah is just so bubbly, personable, and genuine. I don't know, she was just awesome and we knew on the spot we wanted to book her. Didn't mean to knock Melissa! She is a board favorite!!

    we just booked Fleur de Lys in New Haven.  Both the owner and assistant are great - they seem to work with any budget as our budget isnt too high for the size of the wedding and wedding party.

    I recommend Whisconier Florist out of Brookfield. She did an amazing job with my flowers.
