Dead flowers, junk-store feel
by fakingirl
I went to a florists to get pricing for the flowers for my wedding and was shocked ($85 for a bouquet with 6 flowers in it!!!), so I decided to check out the local wholesale flower places in San Antonio. I think, by far, Travis is the most popular, but I was EXTREMELY disappointed when I went there. It was like pure chaos! There ways junk every where, no order to the layout, and the back of the store looked like someone's messy garage!!! I wouldn't be surprised to hear that they've had claims of junk falling on people or customers stumbling in the cluttered aisles. As for the flowers, they had almost no selection and the few varieties they did have were wilted, small, or just generally unhealthy looking. I walked out without buying a thing and then zipped right around the corner to Janal.
Janal was clean, organized and looked like a business (not a yard sale). The staff was professional, friendly and helpful! And the flowers?...PERFECT! Each bud we looked at was pristine and looked like it had just been plucked! They have 2 fresh flower areas, and their variety is impressive! They may be a little bit more expensive, but at least I'm getting EXACTLY what I wanted, and I know they will be fresh on my special day.
If you're looking for the cheapest, Travis might be it. But if you're looking for the best, go around the corner to Janal!
- Pros: Probably cheap I don't know I didn't buy anything.
- Cons: Messy store, poor quality, lack of variety
