Hi ladies, I have an odd question. I am getting married in New Orleans and live out of state. My fiance and I went to nola to meet with a bunch of vendors last month. We gave all the details of what we wanted to the vendors we wanted to hire, but I wanted to wait to sign contracts with everyone until we signed a contract with the venue.
Signing with the venue took longer than expected (poor communication on their part), but it finally just happened, so I am ready to sign with all the other vendors I had lined up. Well I got an email from my florist today saying just today she booked up on my wedding date, so she is no longer available. This seems so strange to me. We had spent a lot of time visiting with her when we were there, had looked at tons of pics, made decisions on specific flowers, she drew up a contract, etc. I thought at the very least when we had done all this, if our vendor had another bride request our same date, the vendor would check with me first?
Even if she said, "Another bride wants me, so sign today or I'm going to sign with her", I would have appreciated the heads up. I am shocked and disappointed and panicking! Do you think I expected too much? I did have another vendor check with me first when another bride wanted her, so I guess I thought that was standard protocol. Ugh.
Thanks for any thoughts on this!
