To say this company is an absolute nightmare is an understatement.
Summary:
Booked 2Create Designs 4 months before our wedding (highly referred by our amazing coordinator). Told them what we wanted and our budget. They approved and we signed the contract and gave a hefty deposit. 2 weeks before our wedding 2Create Designs informs us they "won't be able to meet their (our) expectations." 2Create Designs cancels our order, returns our deposit, and leaves us on the verge of flushing 10 months of planning and close to $80,000 of spending down the tubes. Our coordinator (did I mention she's amazing?) came to the rescue by introducing us to an up and coming florist, with absolutely amazing prices and incredible talent. Peachwood Events saved us! Look up Peachwood Events if you're looking for an amazing florist by an extremely talented team, with incredible prices! Unless you're looking to be stressed to the max for your wedding day, DO NOT HIRE 2Create Designs!!! Why even take the chance when there are other florists that can, at the very least, do the same quality of work, but probably much better, and charge way less?! Read the full story below, if you have time.
2Create Designs was recommended to us by our coordinator, who has referred lots of clients to 2Create Deisgns. Our coordinator had nothing but good things to say about 2Create Designs and after checking out yelp's great reviews as well, my fiancé looked at 2Create Designs' website, she found that 2Create Designs has done arrangements similar to what she wants. She called 2Create Designs, told them who she was referred by. My fiancé also told them that she was looking to do something similar to a picture they had on their website. 2Create Designs asked her what her budget was and they confirmed that her budget was definitely enough to do what she was asking for. 2Create Designs wrote up the invoice with all the details, signed it, and we gave them a hefty deposit.
We could get the arrangement we were looking for at half the price at other vendors, but being that 2Create Designs and our coordinator had worked together on so many occasions, we figured it would be the best way to go, even if it meant paying double.
Fast-forward 4 months (2 weeks before the wedding), 2Create Designs delivers our mockup. It was the absolute worst arrangement I've ever seen (and I'm a guy who doesn't care, nor know much about flowers...but I know cheap and ugly when I see it!). Not only was I disgusted, but the coordinator and my fiancé were both in disbelief at how horrible it was. And most importantly, it was not at all what my fiancé had selected, nor was it what was on the invoice. It looked like they didn't have time to put an arrangement together, so they went to downtown LA and picked up a $10 arrangement with random colors and brought it to the mockup. It was so bad, that the owner never even showed up. Instead she had it delivered by one of her workers.
Later that night, the owner of 2Create Designs talks with our coordinator and tells our coordinator "I won't be able to meet their expectations. They're budget is not enough." 2Create Designs then cancels our order and offers to refund our deposit.
I was in complete and utter shock as I sat there, numb, and just lost, starring at nothing. All I could see is 10 months of wedding preparations and close to $80,000 spent was about to be destroyed by a heartless, selfish, greedy vendor. Funny how our budget was plenty 4 months earlier and all of a sudden it's not enough two weeks before the wedding.
Any bride and groom know that the last two weeks are the absolute craziest as you're trying to tie all the loose ends and make all the final payments. Now throw the need to find a last minute florist into the mix and it's literally Hell on Earth! I wouldn't wish this type of stress on anyone!
Our amazing coordinator and Peachwood Events (new florist) came to the rescue, but this could have been extremely tragic. Don't chance it with 2Create Designs. Even though it may be a small chance, don't risk being the couple they end up canceling on last minute. Look up Peachwood Events, the amazing florist company that ended up doing exactly what we wanted, at half the price, and delivered! read more
