The florist I used on my Wedding which was five days ago showed up an hour and 45 minutes late. I had a feeling a few time this might happen because she had gotten our meeting times and days mixed up a few times but I did not have the time or money to be able to switch florisits because of it.
Because she was late I was unable to do pictures during that time with my flowers. When I did receive my flowers they were not what I had asked for, my bouquet was supposed to be all pink roses with pearls and I got gerbera daisies, tulips, hydrangeas and some flowers that were purple also ended up being way smaller than what I had expected. The Bridesmaids flowers were also way smaller than I expected, thrown together quickly and were droopy and wilting. I had two maid of honors and their bouquets were supposed to be bigger and they were smaller than the bridesmaids.
I was completely unsatisfied, and stressed out, not to mention when I did see the florist later when she was putting the "centerpieces" on the table she said to me "sorry for the minimal flowers I had another wedding." I played that off pretty well but inside I was furious. She had also left during set up and did not do a lot of the work in which she was supposed to do such as putting linenes down and setting up the tables, my family and friends ended up doing it.
I did not have a contract with here which I am glad, I had already given her a $2,000 deposit and I do not think she is going to get much more after that. Any thoughts? I would always suggest a contract after this, however I had a beautiful wedding and hopefully this will just help me save a little money.
