Classic Designs BY Doreen Thomas, instantly became my favorite place to order floral arrangements. Doreen not only created the bouquet from her personal garden and delivered the flowers to my MIL, she also discussed how to care for the beautiful bouquet. read more

I hope no one else has to go through what I did on my wedding day because of Doreen Thomas. I had five bridesmaids and only four bouquets despite specific written instructions to her for five (she told me it was my fault and I never told her - I showed her the email that she replied to in which I advised her there were five girls). She charged my two bridesmaids who helped put together the bouquet less than an hour before my ceremony on the spot in cash for the bouquet she forgot to do. I specifically said NO carnations in any of my arrangements and every single centerpiece had many. The vases I picked out were not at the reception and she said they had been broken and she didn't tell me because there was nothing she could do about it. That resulted in many of my flowers looking like they were being drowned and cheap. Doreen charges a premium in Alpena for her services and I trusted her because of her blindly. I paid her 90% of my bill (which was large!) up front a month before my wedding and on the day of my wedding as soon as I arrived at the church she was standing there waiting to collect the other 10% in cash. I paid again, even though I expressed concern about how the reception area looked. I have tried to speak with her reasonably and she refuses to talk to me or my mom in order to sort things out because she claims her "lawyer advised her not to." I haven't seen one dime back for all of the things that she did not do that she said she would and the things she did just horrifically. I cannot express the extra stress this caused throughout my wedding day and I hope that no one else has to go through that. These are just a FEW of the things that went wrong with Doreen. Please find someone else to help you on your special day...no one deserves to have it ruined. Also, if you notice, she won't even let anyone comment or post on her Facebook page - I doubt I'm the only unhappy client out there. read more
