It was a horrible experience that I went through, and it is extremely sad and unfortunate that I am being attacked like this, even by brides that don’t know me. I was in a car accident with my daughter and ended up in the hospital. In regards to the two affairs that I missed due to this, I horribly regret what happened and am doing what I can to make it up to them. As for the comments on the site, I have been attacked with flagrant lies. Whether it be that I was in jail, my mother was in Florida, and so on. The girls that know me are well aware of the type person I am and the pride I take in doing each and every affair. I love my job and truly have a passion for it. I am truly heartbroken on the two affairs that I did not handle but for people to slam me and make judgements off of that is completely unfair. There are many, many girls out there who have raved over my past work and I intend to keep the girls happy going forward. Again, I truly apologize for what happened.



didn't she miss at least three? babs, lucky, a de seversky bride, and I think a shower on the same day as the de seversky?



at LEAST 3. I think more.

so what happens now? do you keep her as a recommended vendor?

I think until she refund those brides, she should be blacklisted completely.

I'm pretty sure I saw her listing down. I didn't find it under the vendor list here

ETA: I just realized my comment didn't post. I think they removed her from the list already. I do not see her listed

Okay, we received an email from the vendor. Other than a voice mail she left for Client Services stating the same thing as the email this is the only communication we have received and it came today.

First, I'd like to repeat that this is the only thread that should be used in regard to this situation. All others will be removed. Also, we are just posting the email we received. We have not and can not look into the claims of this email.

This is all well and good. But if she was making things right, we'd be hearing about that too and there wouldn't be all this speculation and 'lies' going around. The problem isn't that people are ready to not trust her, in fact many girls defended her and refused to believe she could no call/no show at someone's wedding. The problem is that people don't know what to believe since so many stories have flown around. Set the record straight and do it via the brides that have been damaged the most, the ones that had to scramble to get flowers for their wedding days these past 2-3 weeks.

Well said. If she was really sorry for those 'two' affairs she missed (I guess LiL OC's shower didn't rate her regret. ) she'd be calling THOSE girls and not e-mailing CS. And BS that she STILL cannot use the phone? Are you kidding me?!

It's obvious she just can't take the heat!!

I know for a fact that she has let at least 4 brides down.

EXACTLY!!!! How about stop crying to CS about all of this stuff that you can't prove and rectify the situation with the poor brides who had no flowers!!!!!! I would MAKE SURE that I explained everything to them as well as gave them a refund if I wanted to at least TRY to keep my good reputation. Once again-- DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!!!!

Re: Flowers & Designs by Gina

I can assure you she did NOT get into a car accident!! And also it has been over 3 brides. More like 6!! 2 of which are not on Liw's and also was a no show for a bridal shower... If she supposly had a car accident why is it she contacted cs and not these brides??? She's full of crap and like I said there never was a car accident... Cs I hope u continue to have her removed from your vendor list! And ladies who have her booked I would look else where unless u can still possibly trust her

Re: Flowers & Designs by Gina

CS - I would like you to know in that her email to me on Sunday, she is blatantly stating that she has been in contact with the LIW administrators and they know the truth. Obviously that is not true if you just received this voicemail today. That was one of the many lies she has told me. She is clearly lying to everyone and trying to salvage whatever business she has left.

Re: Flowers & Designs by Gina

IF (and I said IF) she was in a car accident w/ her daughter that is horrible.... I was not and will not be a bride that uses her services but as a bride I would want an explaination from HER and it doesn't seem that she has done so.

Thank you CS for the update and sharing the e-mail with us. But it's a very poor attempt by a business woman to save her credability - if it were me, my business on the line I would be ALLL over this issue to make sure it was fixed WEEKS ago. Her lack of interest in trying to fix everything is beyond me and that really worries me.

agreed. And thanks for the update CS!

I'm still stand by my decision to go with another florist. It's all just too shady to deal with and I don't want to be in a panic when the day of the wedding comes and she doesn't show up and FH and I are out our hard earned/saved money for this wedding.

Re: Flowers & Designs by Gina

CS - Bing or Google Gina Laplaca Huges and see what comes up. I bet you see articles relating to her being arrested for DWI/DUI.

I wish all of you girls good luck on your weddings and for those still trusting this Gina please rethink that and get yourselves a florist you can trust.

Re: Flowers & Designs by Gina

And when was that first wedding she missed??? I am totally appalled by thid whole thing.

Bride2011 Posted:

Re: Flowers & Designs by Gina

How about all those girls that actually showed up at Gina's house and were greeted by her mother telling them that Gina had a breakdown and she wasn't certain where Gina even was? And wasn't Gina's daughter running around the house saying that she didn't know where her mom was? Didn't a bride mention that Gina's mother was telling the brides that stopped by the house to write their names in a notebook? Doesn't make sense!! Is her mother in on the conspiracy against her?? Doubt it!!! If Gina was in a car accident, her mother would have told the girls that who stopped by her house!!!
