Brookshire Bros

What a wonderful staff they have at this little grocery store. Here in Houston there isn’t much chatting about «How’s your day?». It was very nice that everyone carries a smile while working. Everyone seemed very helpful and had no problem giving me directions for my destination.

After a local shop tried to charge me $ 700 for a scanty amount of wedding flowers, I wandered into this store, and ended up saving $ 500 and creating fantastic memories!
An amazing older local gal tugged a massive collection of catalogs out out for us and helped me find exactly what I wanted, arranged the delivery to the store, offered to help us prep the bouquets, etc. She helped me design them, too, suggesting that I’d appreciate some fronds and other filler that complemented the blooms so well. She special ordered exactly what we wanted, and we paid $ 100 for it all! Calm, beautiful desert and chaparral flowers. I had a second cousin who worked in the bridal industry for a bit help me wrap bouquets, fix boutonnieres, and arrange all the flowery bits. I’ll never forget laughing with my bridal party as we wrapped those flowers the night before. :)
My mom ended up deciding the night before that she wanted another $ 100 in flowers to fill the ceremony room, and found a truly insane quantity in the same flower department at Brookshire’s! I wish I could post my wedding portraits here.
The store is a bit small for my spoiled Austinite self, but the staff has so much TLC and a handy attitude. :)

I absolutely LOVE Brookshire Brothers! I will never shop at HEB when it comes! Everyone is always so friendly and welcoming!
