Re: What should I do? Spend 2x as much for flowers now?
Posted by QueenPeach
I've emailed and texted Gina about seeing the flowers in person but she has not replied back. Now that my parents have seen it and heard it, I guess that was the last nail in the coffin. Not that I don't trust the other girls that went there, but I guess I was just too hopeful that I had to hear it for 'myself'/my parents. I also spoke to that guy Jason from Village florist place and he pretty much confirmed my decision to book elsewhere.
So....I ordered flowers from Burt0ns. They were the most helpful of the florists I called and are able to give me exactly what I ordered from Gina, plus extras for 2/3rds the price. I called and started telling them my story, had to stop because I burst into tears while on the phone with a stranger (Carol), and she patiently waited and comforted me while I was having one of those you-can't-understand-a-word-I-say cries. I got the cry out and then emailed them pictures of my sample centerpiece from Gina, pictures of what I had ordered for bouquets and they're doing it all. I felt bad for asking for everything so last minute and was simplifying my original order from Gina. They stopped me and told me not to dumb it down. They wanted me to just tell them exactly what I had wanted for my wedding and they will do it all. They said they ordered the flowers for me on the spot - one was talking to me while I heard the other talking and writing everything down and calling their flower people- and I hadn't even paid them one cent yet. They said that I could just stop by and pay by the end of the day but they are definitely ordering the flowers immediately so they'll have enough time. My parents went there to drop off the payment and they were raving about how much they liked the people there. Dad felt like Burton's was very honest and appreciated how they showed him the many B*urt0ns employees working in the back on flowers for this weekend and the 3 Burton trucks there and ready to deliver flowers. They are even doing a wedding at my hall the night before mine.
I'm relieved now but still very sad. I can't get this sadness outta me. Maybe it'll pass by tomorrow hopefully.. but it has been too much stress and too many unknowns. I had a lot of hope. We'll all find out on Saturday what the verdict is when she does or does not show up. Anyhow, I think this is my goodbye post. Thanks girls for all your help and advice!
I'm getting married to the most wonderful man in the world!!!![]()
