Thanks! Yea, not letting Gina ruin the rest of my wedding planning. I have a new florist and am very happy. I only paid 100 when I booked Gina but she emailed me in June asking for more money so I gave her an additional 1400. I'm so glad I haven't given her the rest yet but angry that I gave her that money in June. Oh well. Hopefully small claims can help. Ill keep you all posted!



Good Luck. I hope everything works out for you.

I have been a member since January. I'm an attorney in NYC and work a ton of hours so I normally do not actively participate on this site. However, this Gina incident directly impacted me so I have been participating in these posts to figure out what is going on as well as help others. As I told a few people, not everyone is a poster yet feel LI Weddings has been exceptionally helpful for brides wedding planning who do not have tons of free time. It's pretty petty to be trying to call out people on this site because there are tons of ladies that are exceptionally grateful for all the good advice provided. With my respect to my wedding being in October, I am suing her for anticipatory repudiation of my contract -- you need not wait until the contract is actually breached. She clearly gave reason to believe she would not perform her end of the bargain, through her actions with other brides and her lies -- so I am asking for the 1500 I paid for as a deposit. I've been talking with many brides through both FM and email, so I do not feel it is necessary to defend myself because I only posted 6 times. In case you are still suspicious, my fiance propsed on Nov 1st at the NYC marathon last year. I'm getting married this October, and very excited despite this Gina garbage. I am posting to keep other affected brides posted...which is what this thread was created for.



i'm not looking to pick a fight, i was just curious. fair enough! best of luck to you.

The fact that she provided the location and invited anybody who was interested to come to the court appearance makes me believe that she is legit.

Sorry you have to defend yourself when you are obviously trying to help and provide info. I really hope you get your money back. 1500 is a lot and I would be livid.

Gina has been hanging up on me every time I call as soon as I say hello.. Has anyone had any luck talking to her in the past few days??

Re: Flowers & Designs by Gina

I tried her house, cell, and email....the office # doesnt work and she did not return my call / message /email. I think it's weird - she didnt ask me for money for my Oct. 15th wedding - I wonder why she asked for some people's money but not others!?

I think it's so weird that she would call and ask people for more money. My vendors gave me payment schedules. They didn't just call and say, 'hey give me $1500 now.'

Yes I have been talking to this poster regarding this since we are in the same boat. Just because you don't spend your entire life on this site doesn't mean she isn't legit.

Im catching up on all the Gina stuff now. She was supposed to show up for my 9/6/10 wedding and she never showed, never called, never emailed. She had assured me a few weeks before via text message that everything was going fine for my wedding.

did you go with another florist or did you trust her to do it? Did you end up with no flowers too?

OH no. I am sooooooo sorry I really can not believe this whole thing. CS you should update the post on top that there was another no show for some brides who dont post here regularly, or who didn't see this. I'm so sorry

Re: Flowers & Designs by Gina

It's okay because in the 10 days before my wedding I realized how unreliable she was so I booked with Pedestals and they made everything fabulous. Wish I would've gone with them first so I wouldn't have to figure out a way to get my money back now.

UGHHH so I wonder how Gina thinks she's only missed 'two affairs?' Does she think these lies won't easily be found out?

She's digging herself into a deeper hole! I can't believe I felt bad for her!

Email I just received from Gina.... I cannot believe that she still has the audacity to stick with her accident story and the nerve to tell me my deposit is non refundable. She is disgusting

Hi Jillian,

Just so you know I am still working doing Weddings, now that I am out of the hospital. In to regards to your deposit it is non refundable . I still would be more than happy to do your wedding. Its your call. I am working things out with XXXX, it was a unfortunate things that happen with the brides. You want me to do your wedding I am here for you like I always was. So it is your choice. A lot of the stuff on the boards are lies and hearsay, did you ever read the good reviews??

All the best,

Gina

Seriosly????

SERIOUSLY???????

Tell her that you will be taking her to small claims court for your deposit. You have enough proof not to trust her, especially since she did a no show on the 5th.

Ask her for a name of a few brides from the past 3 weeks that you can call for references.

I think you all need to just call her out. And Gina, if you are reading this you should be so ashamed of yourself.

That email was strange to say the least.

Definately ask for a reference of TWO brides whose weddings were within the past month and see how she responds to that.
