on 10/28/2008 I used AFD for the flowers for my daughter's wedding this past May, after reading some of your past customers' favorable comments (I even located the phone number for one of them and called her -- you got a rave review!) I could not have been more pleased! The flowers were true to color, fresh and held up well. Our daughter was happy, the bouquets worked up beautifully, and your prices made it very affordable. I've recommended AFD to others, and a friend has recently asked me to do the flower for her wedding in December. Of course, we will be ordering from you!

Thank you
