It's so funny becasue I got an email from my old florist telling me that she was not 'shady' for standing me up. I love it that they have too much going on in their lives to show up to an appointment but not too much going on that they can read our posts.
If you are reading this, you know who you are, how bout an apology for not showing up instead of disputing that fact that I think you are 'shady'

I have commented on this before but since we are on the topic...
I had a vendor FM me suggesting that I should change my wedding date because it was very close to Valentine's Day and the price of roses would be very expensive. I was also told that this vendor could save me a specific amount of money if I moved my date which to me was not significant enough to revamp my ENTIRE wedding. I thought it was presumptuous and rude to assume that I couldn't afford a specific service. I thought it was presumptuous to assume that I even WANTED roses. There were VERY specific reasons as to why we chose the date that we did.
I never asked for a quote. I wasn't even putting out feelers. This came out of nowhere and frankly, I was insulted. It is bad enough that I get the annoying mailings and phone calls.
Wow!!!! I guess that's a slow time for weddings

I kind of disagree with you guys a little. I wish some of the vendors that I'm unhappy about would read my comments. I am going to these vendors and paying good money. If I have to vent about them on here, I hope they read it and change their ways.
That's a good warning though about pricing. I guess I'll watch what I say.

Re: I hate when vendors read our posts
Luckily, I haven't been bothered really that much. I was FM'd by someone because they saw my post about my first florist but that was it. The only time I've been contacted by a vendor is when I requested a quote.
ETA: Yeah, I hadn't thought about the pricing thing either. Good thinking!!!

I understand. I was in the brides review board, and there is a post from a daniella who got married at Raphel Vineyards. Well, it was her first post, and only review her photography, L**i, take a look, it fake. So I posted that it was, and my post was removed!!
I see that it turned out she wasn't a fake but I can see why you thought that. I might have thought the same.

Re: I hate when vendors read our posts
Well, believe it or not, A LOT of vendors read our posts. At frist, it made me mad, but one of the vendors that I actually booked with told me why. Most times, these vendors are just trying to see how they are represented. It is their business after all. They just want to make sure that they are not being trashed to potential customers for no reason at all. Now, there are some vendors that will read my posts and then FM to solicit their services. Now that is WRONG. But if they are just snooping a bit and keeping it to themselves, that I don't mind.
