Fifty Flowers
So I'd read a lot online about DIYing wedding flowers, and that 50Flowers' prices were really great. My now sister-in-law wasn't too jazzed about using flowers as centerpieces at her wedding, but my Mom was pretty intent on having at least SOMETHING on the tables. So we settled on getting a load of premium gerber daisies ordered from http://50flowers.com and would just put 5 stems in each table's vase for some color. We ordered some white ones and some tinted green ones. I'm talking like, 4 months in advance. We followed all of their directions--Ordered for Thursday delivery for their Saturday wedding. So you can imagine our surprise when my Mom received the flowers that Thursday before the wedding. And there were white daisies and RED DAISIES. Not a green one in sight. Yeah. Not what we ordered. Especially when we're wearing KELLY GREEN BRIDESMAID DRESSES and all accents at the wedding were kelly green. Red. OMG. HELLO CHRISTMAS Now most brides would have lost their mind, and 50Flowers was lucky that I was NOT the bride in this instance. I called them immediately and let them know what we received. They told me they'd been waiting for my call, as the bride who HAD received my green daisies had already called them. They didn't know WHO received her red ones. Turned out it was me. So yeah. TWO unhappy customers right there. Apparently they can't get the right flowers in the right boxes. I was then told that there wasn't any way we could get the correct green daisies by Saturday. Something about them needing time to tint. Great. She told me she could get me some more white ones, though
