The flowers for our wedding were beautiful overall, and there were definitely elements I loved, but unfortunately I was left disappointed with our experience.
Throughout the plann...ing process, I was very specific that orchids and calla lilies were the two flowers I cared about most. I was always reassured that everything we discussed was understood and would be taken care of, but when the wedding day came, a lot of those details weren’t there. There were two orchids in my bouquet and one on our sweetheart table, none that I saw on the guest tables, and not a single calla lily anywhere at the wedding.
We had also specifically planned to repurpose the church pew flowers into bud vases for cocktail hour, but that didn’t happen, leaving our cocktail tables without any flowers. The flowers also arrived at 11:45am instead of 11:30am to our Airbnb that morning, which pushed our already tight wedding-day schedule behind.
Maria was always very kind and reassuring, and the flowers themselves were pretty. I just wish there had been more follow-through between what we discussed throughout the planning process and what was actually delivered on our wedding day. That disconnect was ultimately the most disappointing part for me.
