Leigh was very nice and professional when I first met her about 7-8 months ago. We sat down to plan for my wedding. She seemed very knowledgeable and kept talking about how she was a master gardener. I met with her a couple more times since we had a lot of time before my wedding. She kept reassuring me we had a lot of time, so I felt comfortable with her and hired her.
Everything was ok until about 2 weeks prior to the wedding when she started being very hostile and texting me non-stop saying she needed clarification and answers. Uhmmm I had specifically told her what I wanted, provided pictures and examples months prior because I didn't want to feel pressured into picking flowers at the last minute. First she quoted me a price and marked up the prices two weeks prior to the wedding because supposedly the color I wanted was more money. I was so stressed with everything else that I agreed to it. We finally agreed on flowers, colors, decor etc... I ask her how should I pay you? Leigh says, go to my website and you can pay there. I paid all my vendors a week prior to the wedding because I didn't want to deal with that during my wedding or bachelorette weekend which was one week prior to my wedding. Well, Leigh messed up and demanded we pay her again because she had to cancel the payment because "Paypal" had locked her account. Somehow this was our problem and we had to get on the phone to clear it up with Paypal. Mind you, both my husband (fiancé then) and I were in Mexico on our bachelorette and bachelor weekends! She kept texting us and calling us non-stop even after we tried calling Paypal to see what we could do since we now had paid her double the amount! She called me all the way until MIDNIGHT demanding for us to fix the problem? It was so frustrating to have to deal with this one week before my wedding. I almost canceled but I couldn't find another florist unfortunately with such short notice. Ok, fast forward to my wedding. I tried to let everything go and just concentrate on my happy day. I finally get my bouquet and guess what? Not the colors I chose or paid extra for. They were pretty, but they had zero terracotta! That was my theme color... someone please explain why? There was nothing I could do at that time so again I had to let it go. Also, my expensive great flowers wilted two days later.
I really consider led not posting this because I'm not that type of person, but I think other brides or people in need of flowers - please go with someone else! Not worth the hassle and stress. read more
