Irene was wonderful. I went to her with very little idea about what kind of flowers I wanted, only a slight vision of what I wanted it to look like in the end. In about an hour, she was able to design every aspect of flowers for me - showing me flowers I was unfamiliar with, giving great ideas, etc. Her prices were also wonderful! On the day of the wedding, the flowers arrived promptly, smelled and looked incredible, and were so fresh! We were taken care of by a representative all the way up to walking down the aisle. Walking into the reception space was breathtaking. The flowers placed so whimsically and prettily on the cake. The center pieces were stunning, the candles, the flowers, etc. combined with the lighting was so beautiful. I highly recommend Irene and her husband!

For Better For Less Wedding Flowers was recommended by a dear friend of mine. I met with Irene and I had no idea what kinds of flowers I wanted or what colors. Irene helped make perfect choices and her arrangements were breathtaking! If you are a bride on a budget, I recommend For Better For Less.

The flowers were reasonably priced, and they were absolutely beautiful! Irene was wonderful to work with, she was very responsive, and offered many helpful suggestions!
Ian seemed to like the overall look of the flowers in the ceremony space so much that he stuck around after delivery and took some of his own pictures.
Bottom Line: Beautiful flowers, reasonable prices, you can't beat For Better For Less! Thank you Irene & Ian!

I loved the flowers that For Better For Less Wedding Flowers created for my wedding. They got the color scheme perfectly, the centerpieces were stunning, the bouquets and personal flowers were perfect and the service was very personalized. This vendor really cares about their work...we didn't feel like we were "just another wedding." The pricing was very competitive to other florists, and we got more for our money vs. what other florists proposed. Definitely would recommend them!

Irene and her husband were more than wonderful! She contacted us weeks prior to the wedding to go over last minute details. On the day of the wedding her husband (forgive me, I do not remember his name) called and asked what time we needed the flowers for pictures so he could come up and personally cut the stems. While downstairs decorating our arch, Irene called me and said the arch looked a little bland and suggested she wrap some fabric to add to it. When I walked down the aisle I immediately noticed what she meant and was very grateful for this added touch. Her husband took some extra time to instruct the girls and I how to hold our bouquets (which were the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen - white and green orchids, hydrangeas, and calla lilies) so they would photograph best.
I was blown away when I entered our ballroom and saw what a beautiful job they did with the centerpieces. Our centerpieces were alternating 20" and 24" vases - one was filled with large calla lilies and the other had submerged orchids in the bottom and an arrangement of calla lilies, orchids, hydrangeas, and curly willow on top. They removed the side arrangements from the arch and placed them on our sweetheart table and put out vases on the gift table so the bridesmaids and myself could place our bouquets in them as an added decoration.

From the start, Irene was truly a pleasure to work with. She was flexible, responsive and had some great ideas. The day of the wedding, her husband delivered my bouquet to my hotel room, showed me how to hold it as well as showed the bridesmaids how to hold theirs. I was not expecting such wonderful customer service! The ceremony flowers, bouquets and centerpieces looked better than I could have imagined, and the staff set everything up perfectly. Thank you for helping to make my wedding so beautiful!

Irene did a great job with the flowers. All the bouquets were beautiful and fresh. The ceremony decor was amazing. I really wan't expecting it to look that great, and for a decent price too. My cake was trashed.A whole side crushed in and the flowers were messed up but Irene covered the mishaps with orchids and it was beautiful and a life-saver.

Irene and her husband make a great team! She was very helpful from the start as I wasnt sure exactly what I wanted. I gave her some ideas I had in mind and she ran with them! I also made some changes along the way and Irene was very pleased to work with me to help my dream wedding come true! The result was beyond amazing, the colors of the flowers were nothing like I have ever seen before, and the design just blew people away! I am so glad I found For Better For Less Wedding Flowers on wedding wire! I couldnt have asked for anything more!

Irene is an amazing vendor!! I couldn't have asked for anything more for my wedding florist. She was so professional and always followed up when she was supposed. I couldn't believe how gorgeous the bouquets turned out and truly were a highlight of the day. I not once had to worry about this part of the wedding and it was truly a blessing to have her as a florist. I will use her services in the future!! Thanks Irene- Love, Janna

Irene and Ian created stunning arrangements for our wedding at the Rusty Pelican. The gazebo for the ceremony was adorned with brilliant arrangements. The bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres were exactly what I was hoping for. The centerpieces were stunningly simple and yet perfect for our beach-themed reception. Irene was able to listen to my ideas for the ceremony and reception and recommend a combination of flowers that blended so well together and fit into the overlook we wanting to achieve.

Irene and Ian did a fantastic job creating beautiful floral arrangements for our wedding. They were great to work with. Ian made sure all the flowers were perfect for the photos. I requested sweet peas for my bouquet which they were able to get for me. I highly recommend For Better For Less Wedding Flowers!

For Better For Less Wedding Flowers was a Preferred Vendor of the Hilton on Clearwater Beach. I had also seen her flowers at Bridal Shows held at the Rusty Pelican and her flowers are breathtaking! My wedding colors were different shades of blue and Irene recommended blue dendrobiym orchids for my flowers. I used them in my bridesmaids bouquets and my centerpieces. Everyone at my wedding thought I spent a fortune on my flowers but I didn't. If you are a bride on a budget, I highly recommend For Better For Less.

My wedding flowers were so beautiful. I thought that the Baxters did a great job. The best part was that Ian stayed at the church during the ceremony to ensure that the boutineers/bouquets were perfect and then to take the altar decorations to my reception site. Irene did a great job turning my thoughts into beautiful arrangements, especially since I know nothing about flowers! The colors were perfect! Highly recommend for better for less wedding flowers!

Irene and Ian were great and their flowers were perfect. I had ordered a unique flower (Phalanopsis Orchid) which showed up looking so good they could have been mistaken for fake! Ian delivered the flowers, he was prompt and professional. Ian also set up the decorations for our bamboo arch including the material, flowers, and starfish (Beach wedding) without direction and it looked amazing. Thank you Irene and Ian I would recommend you to anyone who needs flowers for any occasion.
