Yay! Booked Fullblooms by Inah a while ago.

And I'm soooooo happy! At first medyo kinabahan ako kay Ate Inah kase alam ko ng medyo maliit ang budget namin at nag-worry ako na baka masungitan nya ko kase ang kuripot ko pero she never made me feel intimidated. Magaan siya sa loob kausap. Ako na nga yung nagbibigay ng options para maging mas mura yung quote nya pero sya pa mismo nag-insist ng upgrade with almost no additional cost sa'min. I just gave her my budget at siniksik nya talaga lahat and more pa nga para maging maganda hindi lang yung bouquet ko pati yung sa entourage. Natuwa pa ko kase she customizes the size of the bouquet depending on the height and body type ng bride. Hindi yung generic na size lang na para bang makagawa lang bouquet. She also mentioned that she's always hands-on with the bridal bouquets and I was relieved to know na may sasakyan sila for delivery at di tinataxi yung flowers para sure na dadating on time.

Kahit may pinagdadaanan akong "hopefully minor" stress with my venue & caterer, nabawi yun sa good vibes ni Ate Inah. Sabe ko na gusto ko na syang kuning ninang eh. Special treatment din for Imbitado brides. Aliw pa kase she lives near our area. Blessing talaga.

Hello, may nakatry na ba sa Peninsula Flower Shop? Anyone have feedback?

We're getting married kasi sa Pen and sila yung in-house flower shop. Kaya lang almost zero info sila sa net.

Thanks!

Anyone here na may feedback kay love in blooms?

[yummieyomi]

mga sis may alam ba kayong cheap florist na tagaytay based?
as in yung cheapest pero decent naman ang gawa. flowers are not my priority kasi.
pero mukhang gahol na ko sa oras para mag DIY.
thanks!

Hi! Try to inquire at Il Fiore, a Tagaytay based Florist. I read good reviews about them and not that expensive, they can work on your budget. Search them na lang online. 

[smile22]

^thanks sis yummieyomi

[juwie]

Any recent Vatel Manila brides here? Reviews will be appreciated. TIA.

[mrscreamsoda]

sis juwie, I have read a lot of good reviews about them when I was still actively (and aggressively lol) scouting for suppliers a year or two ago. i have even shortlisted them. kaya lang i got busy this year so ngayon nalang ulit nagbalik loob. and so far hindi ko pa ulit sila nababasa. last time i checked, yung rate was leaning on the pricey side (?) ewan ko lang ngayon. may idea ka ba? my bouquet kasi nailagay ko na rin sa list ko of things that i should forego. if i remember it right nasa around 12-15k yata sila non?

[juwie]

Hi sis mrscreamsoda, 12-15k for bouquet lang or whole entourage na? Gano katagal na yun sis? Nabasa ko sa site nila ang starting rate nila for entourage is nasa 20k.

[mrscreamsoda]

^ sis, a year or two ago. Ang alam ko rin nasa 20k na sila ngayon. Btw, bridal bouquet palang yata yan nun.

[yummieyomi]

^ whoaah! 20k for a bridal bouquet alone? that's steep!! 

[vitug.annie]

Is this for vatel manila?  20k starting for the whole entourage na.. that's the baseline rate. Mag increase sya from there according to your design preferences.

[shrek250190]

Vatel Manila bride po si fiance.  Kaso ang kinuha lang namin sa knya is bridal bouqet lang.  Yup starting niya is 20k including entourage.  Pero it depends sa types ng flowers na gagamitin.  Wala din siyang standard package.

[juwie]

^how much po quote nya for your fiance's bridal bouquet?

[shrek250190]

^how much po quote nya for your fiance's bridal bouquet?

send you pm sis.

affordable rates ni clint carl. just make sure to be extra specific sa discussion with ate leia kasi may tendency di masunod ang bouquet pero overall, will still recommend them sa quality and price. pero kung may mas malaki budget talaga, go for non dangwa florists since andami nila bookings palagi.

[little lulu]

I emailed Vatel Manila pero yeah it was on the pricey side. I wanted to minimize sa entourage flowers since magwiwilt din naman so parang nagwilt din yung pinambayad ko. Oh well, it's just me.

Recommended by our coord, Amaranthus Florist by kuya Ren. Sa may Chico St. in Kamias sila, malapit na sa Xavierville sa QC. Magaganda arrangements nila and I read good reviews din from brides' blogs. Mabait kausap yung owner and galante din sa additionals. He presented us with the lowest-priced packages and I was shocked na hindi pala very basic lang yung flowers and arrangements. Para nga siyang hindi basic package kasi madami na ang yung pang-upgraded packages sa ibang florist eh pwede pa maisama sa basic. Kaya ayun natuwa na din ang binook na. No OOT fee din for our venue. On our last meeting I haggled pa para mabawasan price without bawas sa designs and number. Pumayag si kuya. We can bring pa the aisle flowers sa reception venue, with minimal fee for borrowing the steel hangers and the kuyas who will carry. 

We compared with Dangwa Florist and one more I forgot the name na nasa Dangwa mismo ang pwesto. What we didn't like kay Dangwa Florist is medyo imposing si ate sa flower choices na parang di na kami makapagsuggest, so turn off agad.

[fionaapple]

^did you go to their shop sis or did you meet somewhere else?

[vitug.annie]

Si dangwa florist tinawagan ko na, inemail na't lahat hindi namamansin. Ang sungit pa nung nakausap ko sa phone. Anyway, I am happy naman na with Love in Blooms. Di ako nag inquire sa vatel..although binasa ko yung mga reviews sa kanila.. They're on the pricey side eh I don't want to splurge masyado sa flowers.. eh tamad pako mag search ng supplier.

[avane]

^hmmm so tama pala talaga yung shinare before ng isang sis natin about sa katarayan ni dangwa florist. tinarayan daw sila nung hinanap na nila yung kulang sa deliveries. good thing i didn't book them din.
