    I'm looking for recommendations of florists in the Norwalk, CT area who will work within a budget. I might DIY my centerpieces but really need help with the rest.

    Any suggestions or florist you've worked with in the past that you've liked?

    Thanks

    I used the Old Greenwich Flower Shop for my wedding and was THRILLED with the work they did.  My opinion was that they were really reasonably priced and Anna was super accommodating to all my requests.

     Another thought might be to look into Stew Leonards.  While I don't know about the one in Norwalk, my college roommate used the one in Danbury and her flowers turned out really nice!

    Good luck!

    Thanks bunches. I always forget about Stew's but I'll also look up that florist in Old Greenwich. Appreciate the assistance!

    My sister used BLUSH floral design last year:

    I used the Flower Corner in Bethel, although I'm not sure what they would charge for delivery to Norwalk.  Regardless, the owner is awesome and ridiculously creative :)  I've heard good things about Stew's as well, but just an FYI they can be impossible to get an appointment with if your schedule is not flexible (I actually gave up on them for that reason).

    Thanks so much.

    I emailed Elizabeth last week at Blush based on one of the recommendations but she never responded. Bit dissapointed, her stuff is really pretty.

    Tomorrow I'm contacting the other 2 locations. I like unique so I'm curious about the florist in Bethel.

    Thanks Bunches!

    I am using Stews- but I know that Whole Foods also does flowers... nice budget friendly spots in grocery stores!

    I did want to let someone know, I finally received an email back from Elizabeth from Blush, about 2 weeks after my initial contact. She seemed quite sweet but requires a minimum of $3,500 to work with. I'm sure her work is beautiful but it's far more than my budget allows and honestly, crazy money for a bridal bouquet, and a few coursages and bouts.

    I'll look into your other suggestions. Thanks

    I know this post is really old, but wondering if you ever did find an affordable florst in the area? I'm getting married in Monroe and need tall centerpieces.  I'm open to using branches, carnations, any kind of cheap flowers, but am still having a hard time finding a florist within my budget (and the one I did find who's within my budget is not responsive).  I am considering DIY-ing the centerpieces, but am worried about stressing myself out with too many to do's the day of the wedding.  Thanks!
