DIRT

hoto was an example to set a vase on top of the flat leaves. I explained the venue had super tall ceilings. Height was important. I knew blooms costed more. I wanted greenery to save money but one or two flowers to add some color with the green if able. I expressed my ideas; asymmetry, every reception table could have different arrang. I trust them do a good job because that is why they are in business right? The girl was very agreeable and said she understood. She told me she could work within a budget but may need a little bit more budget. So I trusted her and added $30 per table arrangement. I left me feeling very confident in their capabilities. Friday before the Wedding: My Planner showed me a photo of what the arrangements would look like. It was that picture of three flat leaves with flowers sprinkled. No height. We immediately called Dirt and spoke to the same girl I had met with in August. She kept speaking in circles and was very long winded. As a young artistic person myself I respect other young artists.... but this time she sounded like she didn’t really know what she was doing or how to simply listen to a fully paid customer. I knew I had to be very specific with her to get something that wouldn’t look silly, something able to balance the tall cathedral ceilings in the space. Although, I do not understand how 1 photo from an email, the flattest arrangement, was the one they chose to emulate. On the phone: “What we need is a tall arrangement. How about this... a tall clear vase with greenery that sprays out and up to add more height and width, if you already bought the tropical leaves then put them on the table.” She said that would cost more if I wanted vases and blooms and blah blah blah.... we argued that we are not paying anymore and to do what they can. Wedding day: Planner was at the venue at 10 am to accept the floral delivery from Dirt Flowers. But no delivery showed up at 10, 10:30, etc. and My planner called frantically. They kept telling her the driver was on his way. The driver arrived 1hr 10mins late at 11:10 am. He told her the Dirt office staff directed him to take his order to the church not the reception. They have had this order since last August/September yet they still were clueless the day before about what design they were creating for the centerpieces. And then after text and verbal reminders from my planner about what was to be delivered and where, they still screwed up on wedding day. My lovely wedding planner was at the venue frantically putting out the flowers and moss (which had to be separated from big slabs of moss, not neatly cut into strips), and trying not to get dirt all over the tables/floor. At noon she left and flew down the highway and arrived at the church just before 1:00 pm. Monday: complained to the owner (who has been totally unavailable for months). She explained that there had been staff turnover, that she was sorry and would get to the bottom of why there was such confusion. She also asked how they could "make it right." We suggested a refund but they delivered a floral bouquet a $200 credit. Reception arrangements did not include any flowers or look anything like my examples. Partial refund would have been much more appropriate.

me send them a few pictures that I liked and they handled it. I was blown away with what they created.

d are happy to make changes and edit plans up until the last minute. They executed everything beautifully and our wedding ceremony and reception was simply glowing due to their perfect touches! Highly recommend for events, gifts, and everything else!

ing night — hopefully bringing me to tears will tell you what words cannot.

flowers contributed to an unforgettable atmosphere. Highly recommend!

th, and throughout the entire process she was more than helpful. She was a delight to work with and DIRT's style was exactly what I was looking for. They worked with my budget which was so great. I ended up getting from them a bridal bouquet, maid of honor bouquet, corsages, boutonnieres, a table arrangement, and best of all my flower crown. They do amazing work and in my opinion, do their best if you give them some creative freedom :) I highly recommend DIRT!

ble. They made the flower ordering process easy and put my mind at ease. With colors for the wedding flowers, since they're known for unique, remarkable arrangements, I didn't want to limit what they could create. So I shared with them pictures of the bridesmaid dresses, my dress, the guys suits and general decor color insights (color of table cloths, etc.). From there, I asked that they do whatever they want with color and type of flowers. And to say they showed up day-of with beyond amazing flowers is an understatement. They handed me my bouquet day-of and I was in shock and just kept saying "this is mine? I get to carry this? these are amazing!" The flowers had personality and the perfect mixture of colors to compliment our palette. I cannot recommend Dirt highly enough for your wedding.

f what I wanted and let them run with it (flower type wasn't that important to me). When the flowers were picked up the day of, they were beautiful! During the process, Dirt followed up timely with my questions (even when I happened to email them twice during busy holidays). Recommended if you want unique floral arrangements for your wedding!

...they were willing to work with whatever budget we provided them with (made a few changes along the way) and they were able to incorporate my vision and style perfectly. Something that was very important to us was the arch for the ceremony and they knocked it out of the park with that. It was so stunning. The tables, the bouquets, my flower crown, etc were absolutely gorgeous and I received so many compliments on them. The best part is that they were the easiest to work with on budget...I researched several florists, with the majority of them having a pretty expensive minimum. Dirt did not have that minimum, which I think is great Granted, we passed the minimum that we would have spent at the other florists, but we didn't have to and I really appreciate that. Bottom line, I would highly recommend Dirt to any and everyone. You can't go wrong with them :).

other florists I looked at but their work is definitely worth the price!

roughout the ceremony and reception - as well as making sure important details were not forgotten!! Thank you Dirt Design Studio!

n, since their initial estimate didn't include nearly as many floral details as the others did (I have a little trouble letting go of control of that sort of thing). Kyra was in touch with me throughout the lead-up to the wedding. She was always easy to work with and got back to me quickly. Dirt also agreed to additional services, like picking up the flowers after the reception and delivering them to a family member's house (there was an additional fee, but it was fair, and allowed us to use the same flowers for the brunch the following morning). When we got to the wedding day, Dirt's work exceeded anything I could have imagined. All of the arrangements were incredible. Each centerpiece, corsage, and boutonniere was unique (a big part of the reason we went with Dirt). Sonya absolutely understood what I was looking for, and took it to another level.

h!

in the agreement, but they were still cute and worked fine. The grooms boutonnieres were perfect as well. But my only complaint would be communication. I never received my final price quote in the mail, and had difficulty getting responses via email. But I just went the extra step to go down to the store and ensure everything was take caren of, and they were helpful once I got there. Everything worked out great, everything was there on time and there were no problems. I would definitely recommend Dirt to any Bride.

. They were all very deep purple, maroon, red. I didn't get any explanation as to why the flowers were the wrong color. The bouquets were pretty but not what I wanted, at all. It was very hard to get in contact with anyone at the store.

e issue I had with Dirt was a couple of weeks before my wedding. I had added a couple of things to my order about a month before and Sonya was going to give me the new balance within a couple of days, which didn't happen. I sent several emails and left a few messages, but I only had one response to an email from her Mom saying she would call me back over the weekend (never happened). I finally called 4 days before my wedding and her Mom answered. She said that Sonya would work on my final amount and they would call me back. About an 1hr later she called with the amount. But when I said that I was going to stop by to drop off the check and part of the centerpieces I was supplying her response was "Sonya is VERY busy and I'm not sure she will have time to meet with you...". Everything turned out fine and my flowers were more than perfect, but it was really stressful dealing with the nonsense the week of my wedding. I later found out that they opened a second location the week before my wedding, so I understand they were all a little stressed out I'm sure, but it still doesn't excuse the fact that I felt like I didn't matter at all.
