Let me first start by saying I feel bad leaving a 3-star review. Precious Petals does good work, but sadly they did just an okay job with our wedding flowers. Maybe I was just a fluke? They were good, but not at all what I imagined or envisione...d. I know it’s only flowers, but they were the biggest regret of my wedding.
I first met Melinda and brought her a whole folder full of inspiration photos. We talked and went over ideas. I wanted a garden bouquet, not cascading, but not a tight ball of flowers either. I wanted plum (which I made very clear our colors were plum, and not purple) with berries, and greens. I wanted the bridesmaids to match. For groomsmen I wanted a greenery boutonniere with WHITE roses.
We ended up booking with Melinda and a $1000 later (for just bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages) the day of our wedding finally arrived.
My mom picked up the bouquet and my first thought upon seeing them was “disappointed”.
The colors of the bouquets were all over the place, green, purple, plum, hot pink. I honestly didn’t think they would even match the girl’s dresses! They were also tight little balls. Not loose and flowly, and no garden feel to them. My girl’s reassured me it would be okay, and after all, I was going to walk down the aisle in two hours, what else could I do now….
The men’s boutonnieres were even worse. Royal purple, purple-purple, clearly not the plum I described or gave her color swatches for. No greenery, no white roses. Nothing like the printed inspiration photos I showed her. We just had to roll with it though….
I know Precious Petals does good work. I’ve seen photos of amazing floral products, but sadly what I paid for, and what I received was not what I wanted. My advice to brides looking to book her, just make sure you remind them of what you are imaging closer to the wedding and not just during the consultation.
