Posted by adelya21

the issue became not what shade they can guarantee at that point but came an issue of who understand my vision more me or him in the 30 minutes we spoke. I think the hydrangea in the last pic represents that more n he says in his 20 yrs of biz he believes that it doesnt and that it will look redic against the pale pinks and white and that the lavender aka blue hydrangea is better. At one point i was doubting myself! but everyone i showed it too said oh wheres the purple in ur CP we see a pop of blue.

eek, i haven't worked with Brian. I would just wait to speak to who ever you worked with first, and say you want to see that sample anyway since it's what you asked for originally.

well talking to brian didnt really make anything better! lol. he says that thats the only shade of lavender they have and he cnt guarantee that it wont be a shade darker in june. AND he said the orig CP which had all the hot pink roses-- he said that CP has the purple hydrangeas and if I use those its like im going back to my orig CP with all bright colors and that basically what i described to him as my vision a few days ago which consisted of light colors-- is thrown in the garbage. I got an attitude saying ive been planning my wedding for over a yr and I know my vision far better than anyone. he said i can do wtvr u want but those hydrangeas u like are darker than the blue looking ones. I dont know maybe im crazy girls but i dont get how the ones that look blue are lighter.

I think your centerpieces are beautiful as is...and I would just hope that you get more light lavendar hydrangeas. Tell them to try and get them for you and you can ask to see them a few weeks before your wedding since it'll be around the same time as your wedding.

can't he just get a few to show you??? before purchasing?

I have to tell you I am TOTALLY confused by this post because I was at FBB this weekend to pick bouquets.

The girl I booked with doesn't work there anymore so I was with someone new and they made me another sample CP, which was really nice and made me feel better so I know they still understad my vision.

Anyway, what I don't get about this is that they told me that they get all their hydrangea in white and spray them. I noticed this in my CP, which I actually didn't notice last time, which is they were sprayed purple. If they're sprayed, they should be able to get any color you want!!


ETA: Hydrangea are REALLY unpredictable in color and the color they grow in caries with conditions, so I can understand them saying what they're sayng, but that's why she told me they get all white and spray

this is what they're doing for me...they are being sprayed to get the exact color i want!

2010 bride crashing.....same thing happened to me. I asked for purple flowers and I got pink. FBB sprayed them all the correct color the day before. The flowers were the right color on my wedding day but they made me feel awful about it.
