Florist on a budget

Jess1852 · February 2011

Does anyone have any reviews on using HEB’s floral department as the florist for their wedding? I would probably only need the bridal bouquet, 4 bridesmaid bouquets, 3-4 corsages and about 5-6 boutonnieres. I’d also like 5 to 6 small table settings. If anyone has any suggestions for reasonably priced florist that would so helpful. It seems like a lot of the vendors I’ve found are just out of my price range. Thanks for your help!

I looked into using the HEB Blooms on Bunker Hill/I-10. I showed up to my initial appointment and the florist was not there and no one had called to reschedule my appointment. I left my number but after 3 days no one had called me back, so I called and set up another appointment. The florist sat down with me and I told her everything I would need for the wedding. She had a very dated book of samples to look at but I felt like she understood what I was wanting and would be able to do it. She wasn't able to give me any prices right then and said she would email me a proposal with the prices within a week. I NEVER heard back from her. After all of this, I didn't pursue it. This was a personal decision, but I decided I couldn't take a chance on someone this wishy washy on my wedding day. I ended up meeting with Carmen's Floral Designs and booked her immediately. I'm sure its way more than expensive than HEB would have been, but I have peace of mind knowing my flowers will actually show up to my wedding.

I checked with Always Floral and Weddings in Bloom. Their pricing was similar, but I went with Always Floral b/c I liked Sabrina more.

I second Always Floral. I LOVE Sabrina! Can't wait to see what she does with my centerpieces because I was all over the place! lol

The HEB/other grocery store floral departments are only as good as the florist's working there. If you mesh with one of them, great. My cousin worked at Randalls, and she did mine for me.

You will save money, yes. BUT, they generally will not deliver. So make sure you designate someone to pick everything up for you.

I went with Flowers by Minerva in Bellaire. Very nice ladies and the price was AWESOME!!! Several of my friends have used them for their weddings and they stayed within the budget that they asked.

They gave great suggestions and and answered any question we had.

Try Your Day Weddings (www.youdayweddings.biz). Bernice is amazing and she can create anything you imagine. She works out of her home so her consultations are usually there and you'll be able to see all of her amazing work she is currently on. I had a wedding party, including the groom and I, of 14, plus 8 for the immediate family and officant and the total cost of my flowers were only $300!
