I was initially so excited to work with Petals & Leaves. Dee put together a beautiful proposal that incorporated the inspiration pictures I submitted. The proposal outlined all the flowers and colors that would be included in the various arrang...ements. While I was totally on board with 95% of the proposal, I pushed back on two flowers as I felt they had a boho-vibe that was not at all what I wanted. She did not remove the flowers from the proposal, nor did she offer alternative flowers that would accomplish the same design function. When I pushed back again and asked for alternatives, she just removed the flowers and did not offer any alternatives.
Fast forward, Dee and I go through a round or two of tweaks as we get closer to the day. I was super appreciative of her willingness to make design changes when I changed my mind about how the altar would look. In these design meetings, I reiterated that I was nervous about the color of the flowers. I said that I wanted light pinks, oranges, and yellows - just like in the inspiration pictures, nothing too bright. She assured me she was on the same page.
On the day of the wedding, the bridal party flowers were delivered. The bouquets were beautiful, but they did not look like the inspiration pictures we talked about. There were purple flowers featured very prominently in all of the bouquets. A member of the bridal party called Dee right away to see if anything could be done. Dee indicated that she didn't see any purple in the bouquets, but she did see lavender. She stated that lavender is in the pink family and this was simply a miscommunication, but it was too late to change anything. In nearly every unsolicited comment I have received about my flowers from friends and family, someone refers to my "purple flowers."
Before the ceremony started, there were stems in my bouquet and my husband's boutonniere that wilted and needed to be cut out.
The most frustrating part of the entire experience has been in the lack of communication following my wedding. Dee knew I was disappointed with my flowers and never reached out. Had she done so, I probably wouldn't be writing this review. Instead, I received a canned email saying they were "thrilled with how everything came together so beautifully" and asked if I would write a review.
TL;DR - My flowers were pretty, but did not match the color scheme we discussed multiple times. Stems in the grooms' boutonniere and my bouquet wilted and flopped over before the ceremony even started.
