I went to the DYI florist because I wanted to save some money regarding a baby breathe vision I could not get out of my head. I'm not sure if I did that money-wise, but our wedding flowers were great!
Connie was there from start to finish, helping my get closer to my visions and stay within budget. Our first meeting, she was able to soothe my fears about prices and make my concept come to life. The deposit and quote were reasonable. I was able to pay everything by credit card. Another I like about DYI florist is that you only pay for what you use. So if you don't use something, even though you ordered it, they will not change you for it. In addition, htye have many piece of decor that you may rent for your floral designs, which may cut the middle man in the process of ordering from a local party rental supplier AND a florist. When my concept was getting too over our heads, Connie was able to come up with a great idea that incorporated her decor piece she had inhouse. She did not charge me a lot for the rentals, even though it was not in the plans to us them. AND even when I found one of her vases broken at the end of the night, she did not charge me a hundred dollars to replace it; even though I know it was more than likely more than what I paid to replace it. I was so thankful for that.
My flower party was fun! That's when you and your wedding party go into the warehouse and make your flowers arrangements/centerpiece from the flowers you ordered. Everything was ready for me when me and my mentor got there. Connie was super helpful and Jerry, her husband and co-owner, did a great job on corsages. They even threw in a free toss bouquet! My bridal bouquet was prefect! Connie was able to help me put in my brooches for some bling. My flowers lasted for a week after; just make sure they are in water!
What I know for sure what my experience with the DYI florist was heavenly. They really took care of me and made sure I was happy. I know any bride would like this place. I also know I saved money at the end of the day not going with a design florist and doing things DYI. Plus, I supported a great business. Brides, it is definitely worth an consult!
