We had a recommendation for Butchart's for their fresh flowers, and used them solely because of that recommendation. Our order turned out very good. My bouquet was beautiful. The stargazer lilies and roses were the freshest of the fresh, no sig...n of age or wilt. My bridesmaids also received beautiful flowers, and the corsages and boutonnières were put together very well. Everything looked great overall, lasted long into the evening that way, and looks fantastic in the photos.
Some small problems — I didn't expect my bouquet to be fully wrapped with ribbon - I thought it would be wrapped around the middle of the stems, with the stems showing at the bottom. I think it was just a miscommunication, but something to be aware of. It was a minor detail though, and still looked pretty. Also, I had crystals in our bouquets, and they turned out to be quite larger on the surface than I thought. I didn't like them at first, but they look very good in the photos. Anything smaller might not have shown up in photos, so that's probably why they come that large. They also ordered ribbon for the three different colors in the wedding and none of them were very close to the actual dress colors. Luckily, I had remnants from my dress and ribbon to match my bridesmaid dresses, so we used that to wrap the bouquests. Otherwise, I think their ribbon would have really stuck out, because they weren't at all in the same shades or even color families.
I would say, if you are considering using Buchart's, ask to see what they will be using in the arrangements before they make them, to make sure you get exactly what you want. I left most of it up to them and they did a good job, just small details that I might have changed had I known beforehand. Otherwise, they were very easy to work with and I got great prices on all the flowers.
