My family has lived in Lake Barrington for 20 years and I had never heard of Payton Floral, but clearly we have been missing out. I was referred to Bob by my wedding planner, and from the looks of his work I figured he was completely out of my budget. I was SO wrong!
I was an out of town bride, so I worked with Bob over the phone to get an initial quote and description of floral/decor for my cash-limited wedding of ~100 guests. His first quote (sent with little direction on my part) included some elements that were not really my style. ONE phone call is all it took to convey to Bob what I liked and didn't like about his 1st stab. The revised quote came back to me still very much within my budget, and gave me flowers and centerpieces that brought a big "wow" factor to our decor.
Bob is charming and personable, and aims to gives brides not just pretty flowers but a whole "look" for the tables and decor. He managed to marry the style of our invitations and paper products with the bridal party attire AND it worked with the room at our venue, too.
Everything that required transportation from the church to the reception went smoothly, as did the delivery of bouquets and boutonnieres to our home.
No less than 10 people have called me since the wedding inquiring about the florist and wanting to utilize Payton Floral for their events or gifts. That is a compliment in and of itself.
But brides, if you're looking for a florist who will try to "get you" and your style, who will make you feel like your account is their #1 priority, and who will respect your budget and be straightforward about costs and payments, look no further.
