Wedding Florist

its me again everyone!

i have got a price from the florist for my wedding next year, and I just wondered if anyone could recommend a local florist for a second opinion?
I am based in Lisburn, but my first price is for a florist in Dunmurry.
I would like to try a florist in Lisburn that won't break the bank! I wondered about the Floral Boutique in Castle Street in Lisburn?
I doubt the house of elliot would be within my budget!

thanks in advance

    Not exactly handy to you but Remarkable Flowers on the Holywood Road are very good. Mark replicated a beautiful bouquet I had for my wedding in New York with no hassles plus I wasn't bundled out the door for daring to call in without an appointment unlike some other florists in Belfast & Bangor.

    100% and more for ReMARKable Flowers... Mark is fantastic. Find him on facebook.
    For our wedding we had the following bouquets :
    1 x Brides, 2 x bridesmaid, 3 x flowergirls (each had baskets with love hearts at the bottom and fresh rose petals over for scattering), 3 x mother of brides, 7 mens thistles, hired plants for outside reception room, candlerabra and he dressed our wedding cake all for £250!!!!!!!!!! Crazy cheap price and flowers were amazing :):)

    we were at a wedding recently where reMarkable let the Bride down with her flowers and caused alot of stress. She did end up with flowers from him but think that it wasn't what she had ordered or expected and I kn owthat she was V disapointed.

    I and a few others I know used a girl Comel flowers on cregagh Road for our wedding. I know that we all had different budgets and requests for our weddings and she met them all.

    I will be honest, Mark let me down on 3 occassions with appointments so i was a little worried but he came up trumps on the day :). Sorry to hear that story as i have recommended him to a few and they have all been very happy.
    Good luck with it all:)
