Butera The Florist

Butera The Florist does not sell wedding flowers…We provide style, accents, color and we fulfill brides visions and dreams for her wedding day. And, oh by the way, we do that with amazingly beautiful flowers!

Anyone can put a catalog in front of a bride and ask her to choose what she wants, then recreate a copy similar to the photo. At Butera The Fl;orist, we consult with each bride to really find out what her dreams and vision for the look of her special day are, then we suggest options of style, color, floral selection and placements that best suit her specific desires.

Our consultations with renowned floral artist Vincenzo Butera AAF, AIFD, PFCI are free and scheduled by appointment. Call our studio at 717.741.4226 to schedule your appointment. We still have availability in 2012, and are currently booking 2013.

Why settle for ordinary, massed produced flowers for your wedding…allow Butera The Florist to custom create floral designs made just for you and your style.

Vince Butera AAF, AIFD, PFCI will once again be the featured Floral Artist at regional flower shows in 2012!
