Annie's Flower Farm

at was agreed upon, was rude and dishonest about it, and then unprofessionally dodged attempts to resolve the issue later through blocking and hiding. What was delivered wasn’t aligned with what we discussed and what I paid for. Everything––the bouquets, the wedding canopy flowers, and the color schemes were different from what we had agreed upon and were written in the contract. Sid also arrived late and was rude to helpers, guests, me, and other vendors. The bouquet colors were not what we agreed to in writing, nor were the table flowers. (My amazing wedding coordinator and her staff redid the bouquet into something lovely, which I was so grateful for!) When I broached some of the issues about bouquet color schemes and such with her at the wedding, she claimed what I was saying wasn't in the contract. But when I pulled up the contract on my phone and showed it to her, she offered no remorse.  But worst of all: I paid an extra $850 for a wedding canopy garland, and she didn’t bring one. What got put up wasn’t a garland at all as discussed (and written, plus with sample photos we’d agreed upon), but some individual flowers my wedding party had to drop everything and help her attach to the canopy one by one. (And yes, she had a photo of the canopy in advance.) This in contrast to her description of how the garland would be so big, she would need a U-Haul to bring this pre-assembled item. Instead, she just showed up late with some loose flowers—which she required the labor of my maid of honor and a bridesmaid to affix one by one to the canopy in time, even though they had other things to do. And she complained to them while this was going on. In the end, there were so few flowers individually attached to the canopy where a giant garland was supposed to be that those flowers ended up costing over $10 per flower. And there would have been way fewer flowers without the free labor of those dear friends. Although she said she had no time to adjust my bouquet to the color scheme agreed upon in the contract because she was running several hours late, she did make time for something none of us wanted. When she saw that one of my bridespeople who was assigned a boutonnière was non-binary and not a cisgender man, she grabbed the boutonnière back and ran off to replace its white rose with a pink one––which neither my bridesperson nor I asked for nor wanted. Thankfully, our friends and family and wedding coordinators helped pull everything together as best as possible under the circumstances, putting hours of labor into the flower situation, and everything else about our wedding was great. We really tried giving Sid a chance to make this right. My wedding coordinator and I sent a thoughtful email. Sid said she’d consider what to do next. We didn’t hear from her, and next time we wrote, her email address bounced—meaning she’d either canceled the account or blocked us. My wedding coordinator tried politely following up via a Facebook message, and Sid blocked her there too. I’m sure this job is hard, and I didn’t want to have to write such a scathing review. But it’s the truth, and she has showed no remorse nor offered to make amends. Please spare yourself this experience and go with someone—anyone—else for flowers.
