OMG Major Panic

I need serious help. This afternoon we recieved the boxes of "silk" flowers my uncle was supposed to be sending down so they are here when he arrives to do the flowers for the wedding in 16 days.
I am freaking out because it looks like this supposed professional went to freaking Michael's to buy this utter crap and is trying to play me the fool like he got it from a professional wholesaler. I could get stuff from Wal-Mart and it would look better than this. Seriously. Pissed. Off.
I now HAVE to find someone else that can at least make bouquets and boutonnieres and from whom we can purchase the other decor flowers from (centerpiece stems, greenery, sweetheart & cake table sprays). Ideally we can just have them do everything, but I don't know if that's even feasible at this point. (I'm praying though. Really hard. Really really hard.)
Any recs? Our venue works with Creations by Blanca, I know I've heard amazing things about her on here, and our DJ recommended Flowers by Sandra to us. Anyone have any experience with Field of Flowers?
PLEASE HELP!

    I would be freaking out too but I am positive you will be more than fine! I sent you some recommendations on your FB via the private message you sent me. I hope it works out for and please keep us updated!

    Try Creations by Blanca. She has been great with me so far but she told me a week ago that October is her busiest month so she might already be booked. =/ But worth a shot.

    Blanca is great!! A few knotties have had good luck with Field of Flowers, but some haven't.

    I also really like the Flower Market in Boynton Beach-- they did my bridal shower and it was amazing!

    Call Love the Blooms at (954) 829-3185.  I'm sure she'll be able to help you.  She's very good and I know of many brides she's gotten out of a bind.  Will work with any budget and has plenty of staff to do a last minute fix.  Hope this helps.

    I finally found someone yesterday. Blossom Street Florist, Eileen has been amazing helping us figure out what we can do in our budget, and so quickly, it's made us both a lot more relieved. I was very nervous I was going to be stuck and she has come through with some great ideas and quality flowers.
