I trusted Christina to execute my wedding florals but unfortunately my dream wedding florals were a disaster. Instead I was faced with a bride's worst nightmare.
Our agreement spe...cified a simple color palette of blush pink, ivory, and chartreuse. Floral-forward with no dark greenery. Instead, the arrangements I received were greenery-heavy and featured high-contrast colors that deviated significantly from our plan. While the contract allows for substitutions of equal or greater value, it also states that the agreed-upon style and color palette must be maintained. She did not communicate any changes or seek my input on substitutions, resulting in a complete redesign that did not honor our original vision. The florals delivered were not what we carefully planned or what was promised in our contract. I was not prepared for these changes on my wedding day, and I am incredibly frustrated by the lack of communication and unprofessional oversight.
My bridal arrangement originally included several flowers and colors that were outside of my chosen palette, such as dark magenta/red lilies, hot pink roses, and dark aubergine peonies. Consequently, the bouquet had to be remade to remove these elements. This process compromised the overall composition as a significant bulk of the florals were lost, and the final result did not fully align with the design I had envisioned.
This was not a close call, she did not do what she promised. It was truly heartbreaking to face on the day of my wedding.
