Maybe the nasty FMs I am getting from a certain CALI are a figment of my imagination?

Nasty emails are uncalled for...and I apologize for that, even though I am not responsible.

Thank you for always being honest in your review, and like Amy said - the comments above were not directed at you, as you have stated why you don't recm'd them.

I have no problem with negative comments. I like to see them actually, so I can be aware of the problems that some people encountered. I was just wondering why she 'didnt recommend' them

Hi Gals, I have to apologize also for not explaining why I stated what I said, it was late last night and I just went to bed. I was really tired. Long Story short, I met with Anna and she said she was available for my day, I sat with her for almost 2 hours on our consultation, was all excited and ready to book her then a couple of days later she tells me that she doesnt know if she can do my wedding because she realized she was now 'all of the sudden' booked that day. She also said a couple of other things to me. I was just really upset and dissapointed the whole thing was just totally unprofessional.

If you guys are having good luck with her CONGRATS, I am really happy for everyone. We have to be able to state the positive and negative things and maybe I shouldn't have said that on this thread. Just so you all know, I also received a nasty FM from Cali which was uncalled for.

I used National Floral Wholesale and did not have a good experience. I have kept my mouth shut because frankly they made me so angry on my wedding day and I didn't want to relive it.
My bouquet was wrong, the centerpieces were skimpy and they did not decorate my cake as promised. When I called them and told them that my bouquet was wrong, on the wedding day they flat out told me that there was nothing that they could do and that the delivery guy could fix it but that he knew nothing about flowers. I was afraid that the whole thing would be ruined so I didn't bother. My maitre d' had to decorate my cake and when my husband called National wholesale the day of my wedding they flat out told him that they do not decorate cakes!
They were great leading up to the day but were a disgrace the day of. I would not recommend them, you get what you pay for!

Re: OFFICIAL National Floral Wholesale THREAD! (Updated w/new address)

They told me prior to my wedding they do not decorate cakes. They just charge you for the flowers for the cake. And they leave the flowers at the reception hall. My day of coordinator decorated my cake.

Re: OFFICIAL National Floral Wholesale THREAD! (Updated w/new address)

Yeah, well they left that out in our conversation and nobody saw the flowers for the cake until too late...they were smushed underneath the bouquets! My maitre d had to pull them from centerpieces

I thank you for sharing and I appreciate honest opinions. I think that is why we are all on here for opinions.
What looks like a rose to some may also be a weed to others. Thank you for your reviews.

Re: OFFICIAL National Floral Wholesale THREAD! (Updated w/new address)

thanks for posting. I was considering using them. they have good prices, right?

SweetCin704 Posted: May 26, 2006 04:48 PM

Re: OFFICIAL National Floral Wholesale THREAD! (Updated w/new address)

Yes they do have good prices.

When did you get your cp sample made up? Do you have to contact them & ask? Did anyone get a bo-k made up?

I'm afraid now b/c we are going w/o some stuff already in our contract (cake flowers, a few less corsages & they mistakingly wrote an extra bm bo-k)---I do want to add pew bows though.

Anyone else have CP pics from Anna?

SweetCin704 Posted: Jun 16, 2006 10:45 PM

Re: OFFICIAL National Floral Wholesale THREAD! (Updated w/new address)

We're hoping she'll make one up for us next week, but she hasn't called us back

SweetCin704 Posted: Jun 23, 2006 08:03 PM

Re: OFFICIAL National Floral Wholesale THREAD! (Updated w/new address)

We met w/ Anna yesterday & she continues to be nothing but wonderful and friendly....

Here's a pic of our sample cp. The only changes we made was to take out the freesia & add hydrandrea (too much purple).

We loved it!
