My experience with Anton's flowers is tough to write. At the end of the day, I would recommend them and I would hire them again - but with an asterisk. The flowers were COMPLETELY STUNNING and the price was unbeatable, but the stress associated... in working with this vendor almost wasn't worth it. Read on to learn more..
My first interaction with Anton's florist was with Jane, the floral designer. My now husband met at the shop and discussed our vision (or lack thereof) in detail. We were extremely happy with what Jane had to say and the quote was very fair. We also liked that they were very flexible with the payment plan. We booked. The rest of our communication was through email. Jane was very slow to respond and often I followed up 2-3 times before hearing from her. This makes an anxious bride even more nervous that her flowers might not show up. Despite confirming all details a few days prior, Jane was over an hour late for our agreed upon drop off time. To make matters worse, my only contact number was the florist shop and no one answered any of the times I called, left messages and emailed. I spent the entire hour panicking that I would have no flowers for my wedding. Thankfully, Jane showed up at the hotel and dropped off the flowers and they were ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! She nailed it and I was so happy with the the way all the bouquets looked. Unfortunately she forgot to drop off the extra blooms we ordered for the detail shots so the best man tried to call her to come back with them (she was already on her way back, which was good) Flash forward to the venue -- the ceremony space was decorated perfectly. I had only sent Jane one inspiration picture, and she somehow made my vision come to life in the best way!!! The centerpieces were also so so beautiful. I received compliments the entire day about how beautiful the flowers were. Unfortunately, my bride bouquet completely fell apart. During the first look (~2 hours after flower drop off) pieces of the bouquet began to fall out. I had a waterfall bouquet which was hard to hold and I would not recommend (while not Janes fault there..) Throughout all our formal pictures, more and more pieces kept falling out. By the time I was ready to walk down the aisle, there was only about half the flowers left. Both the photographers and videographer commented that this was NOT normal. I asked the workers who were dropping off the centerpieces if they could help fix the bouquet but they said they were only "drop off" and couldn't -- and walked away. They didn't offer to call their company to see if anyone could rectify the situation. My final complaint is that after we returned home from the honeymoon, I sent all of this in a message to the florist and I never heard back (its been about 3 weeks) All I was hoping for was an apology or maybe even an explanation - but crickets. So once again, the flowers were sooooooo beautiful, and the price was the best we could find - but the points of pain we had to deal with make us question if it was worth it. Brides beware.
