I felt that there was a lack of communication and listening on the part of my florist. I loved the flowers in my bouquet and I liked the toss bouquet, but the rest of the flowers and centerpieces did not meet my expectations. A lot of what I sa...id I didn't want is what I ended up with. I provided example pictures and lists of what I wanted for each person (who got what types of flowers and what colors in their bouquet, corsage, bout, centerpiece, etc.). I met with the florist twice, once a year before my wedding and once a month before my wedding. I also emailed her when there was a change in plans, for example when my MOH and a bridesmaid traded dress colors since this affected the colors of their bouquets. During our first meeting she was excited about my ideas and agreed to everything, but then a month out she informed me she wouldn't use Gerbera daisies in anything but the 4 bouquets, which was sad because I really wanted to use them in centerpieces, bouts, and corsages. She also informed me at the meeting a month out that she didn't like using fake flowers, but her dislike for using certain types of flowers would have been nice to know at our first meeting when we went through all the details. I told her I didn't want carnations, but the only real flowers in the centerpieces were carnations. I told her I only wanted fake flowers for my mom and dad's corsage and bout, but I ended up with fake flowers in all my centerpieces. I told her I wanted wrist corsages, but I ended up with pin on corsages. I told her I wanted centerpieces that did not overflow from the containers, but I got centerpieces with plants that overflowed from the containers and onto the tables. I was supposed to be able to tie a charm onto my bouquet, but she glued the ribbon onto the flower stems making that impossible. Instead we had to find a scrap of ribbon at our venue in order to tie the charm on. All 3 of my bridesmaids bouquets were different sizes, when only the MOH bouquet was supposed to be slightly bigger. Instead the smallest bridesmaid had the big bouquet, the MOH had the normal sized bouquet, and the oldest bridesmaid had a very tiny bouquet. Overall I didn't really care or pay any attention to the flowers on my wedding day. I was just happy to be getting married to the man of my dreams and that I least had a bouquet I liked and that photographed really well. The deal I got on all my flowers was fantastic, but the quality of what I got met the price and not my expectations.
