We used the Village florist for our wedding flowers a few weeks ago. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted, but they sat with me and discussed everything I needed. The price was so reasonable, I added more flowers and balloons. The flowers were absolutely beautiful. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you!

100% recommend! Got a BEAUTIFUL bunch of orange, pink and yellow flowers a month ago. Most of the flowers in it lasted 3 weeks - and still have a small posy of orange and pinks 4 weeks on. Same with the balloon display - which is still inflated after a month.
