sterling gardens florist and boutique

Sterling Gardens did our flowers for our wedding. I was very confident with choosing them at first. We met with one person for our initial consult and then we met with a different person for our second consult (which was closer to our wedding). Ideas that were discussed were not written down on correctly. I think this is due to there being so many different people involved with the process (2 different people with consults then different people actually working on the flowers). We were allowed to come peek at the flowers the day before our wedding to see some of the corsages and boutonnieres. It was a good thing we did. The flowers weren't anything like what we had wanted them. And they even gave a groomsman a smaller calla lily boutonniere than the 2 1/2 year old ring bearer had (until we mentioned something about it). Overall, they did well in fixing things on such short notice (1 day prior to the wedding), but looking at my pictures, I really don't care for my flowers as much as I thought I would. They used so many greens that in almost every picture, all you can see are the greens and the white ribbon around the stems. You cannot see the gorgeous pink calla lilies or the orange asiatic lilies. This was a huge bummer to me. My bridesmaids' flowers were very very petite as well. I feel as though the flowers were rushed to be put together and if there had been just a little more time spent on the flowers, it would have made a WORLD of difference.

WOW! The selection they have along with the the personal attention they give you is fantastic! I was very specific on the flowers I desired and they worked with me. If you don't know what you want, they have lots of books as well as a creative staff to assist you. We got flowers for 8 bridesmaids, 8 groomsmen, 4 ushers, 2 sets of parents and 2 sets of parents. Great find, and they're local.
