FLORIST: AMARANTHUS FLORIST

Rating Legend:
5 – highest
1 – lowest

We set a budget for the flowers, and we achieved it – not a single cent more.

After inquiring with 3 florists, Amaranthus was the only one who quoted us the closest to our budget. When we sent them the specs for the flowers we wanted, we were able to haggle and so he gave us a lower rate.

There were 2 freebies already included in the package, but we were able to ask him for one more – the flowers for the bridal car.

All transactions were done via e-mail, except for when M’s sister met with Ren to pay downpayment and receive the contract. He was also very prompt in answering all our emails (and text messages when we’re in the Philippines).

A month before the wedding, there was a change in the number of our flower girls. We were only able to tell him about this less than 2 weeks before the wedding when we also requested him to include offertory flowers in the package in lieu of 1 flower girl basket & headdress.

Early on, we requested that he deliver the flowers himself so we would get the chance to meet him in person, and he did. He arrived at the preps 1 ½ hrs earlier than schedule and told us he usually asks someone else to deliver the flowers but because we requested for him then he delivered them instead.

The flowers were pretty – they looked very fresh. They also registered well in the photos against the color of the gowns.
