Tim Humphrey, Humphrey Floral and Gifts
Tim has operated Humphrey Floral and Gift since the late 1980’s. Says a recent bride: “Tim was a pleasure to work with. I went in not knowing what type of bouquet I had wanted. He showed me a variety of flowers to incorportate with what he had in store as well as in books he has. Also flexible with last minute flower changes and additional flowers needed. Overall, very pleased with the service and would recommend for future use at any event. Prices were very reasonable as well. I had done a lot of shopping around first”.
