Future brides beware. Originally a 2 star review because I was provided a partial refund for numerous problems, but lowered to 1 star after the owner texted me at 12:30am “asking m...e kindly to remove the review” not because they’re apologetic or taking accountability, because it looks bad and “reviews mean a lot to them & they want to pass the business to their kids one day so I should think of their children.”
I worked with Megan, the shop owner, starting in May of 2024 on a bridal bouquet, 2 bridesmaids bouquets, & 3 boutonnières. We had a consultation, I provided them with photos of my inspiration, as well as budget, wedding colors, & general other details. Together we picked out florals that would match from Megan’s suggestions & I was assured it would be no issue achieving my look (first picture, cascading bouquet design of fall colors, eucalyptus, roses, etc). Months later, after numerous consultations, signing a contract, paying both my deposit and full payment, I double checked the shop hours & saw they’d be closed the day of my wedding. Upon inquiring about this, they charged me an additional fee to “stay open” the day we already contracted & paid them for, claiming it was a mistake, to pick up my flowers. Less than a week before my wedding, they emailed me saying they couldn’t get my flowers in and I’d need to pick new ones. After a stressful call and being assured that, too, was a mistake… the morning of my wedding I received a text message with photo 2 & what they claimed was my bouquet (the red and pink). It looked nothing like my inspiration. Megan claimed she knew the flowers came in the wrong color & I should have been told ahead of time but that flower colors fluctuate and it was out of her control. She also saw no issue with the shape. The morning of my wedding turned into a huge fiasco. Megan inappropriately kept trying to come to our airbnb to “fix it” after being told we had no space for her, my mom had to miss her original hair appointment to go to the shop instead (which, we had to wait for them because it turned out they were actually open doing deliveries for another wedding that day anyway?) & we ended up with photo 3, some poorly sprayed (they ran out of spray midway through) roses and peach carnation bouquets that didn’t match anything, with purple wax flowers meant to be white, alongside filler we never agreed on/was never in our signed proposal.
I called for a refund, Megan put her husband on the phone who told me “he saw our wedding and it looked fine to him” so he saw no issue (I’m not sure how, we have yet to get the photos back from our photographer - she hasn’t even began working on them yet - they weren’t at our wedding of course, which was a private venue, but that’s besides the point). He was incredibly rude. They offered no real accountability or apology & only kept telling me they take pride in their business.
I settled for my flowers for my October wedding & was really disappointed in the end. It was a beautiful bouquet, but not what I envisioned or what I was promised. It looked nothing like what I paid for & didn’t match my decorations or colors at all. I ended up cancelling my bouquet preservation.
We ask that in the future your business be transparent about color fluctuations (especially for things like weddings when palates are important & you’re making the suggestions for clients) & your abilities in consultations, your communication improve, and that you’re upfront about hidden fees.
