I have been to this florist twice before for roses, being an uncontrollable romantic, only to be told the first time, they had none and the second time, they didn't sell any?
A florist that doesn't sell roses?
Despite this, we were getting married very soon, and it was convenient to get our button holes and corsage from Ginger Lillies being nearby and my partner ordered our wedding regalia months in advance.
We phoned the shop prior to our wedding day, just to make sure our prepaid order was still ok for collection the next day?
They confirmed this.
On the morning of our wedding and collection of these button holes, I was already held up by other people! I got to the this florist 45 mins late and picked up our wedding button holes that were ready and in a half box for collection.
But when I got home, I could not see why my future wife had paid £45 for this?
They did not look at all nice enough for a wedding, looking pathetic, cheap looking and frankly - overpriced! Basically, 4 lillies with my two pins in the stem and no other dressing?
I phoned my partner and sent her a picture to ask her if these looked right?
She then told me, she had specifically asked for 3 callalilies and one wrist corsage. She requested one button hole, to have two lilac flowers on each side as with the corsage according to our colour theme!
We thought we'd get something to add to our special day, but this had clearly not been done!
So I then had to race back to this florist and politely ask them to rectify their mistake, and once they consulted their invoices, redressed our button holes and corsage, but with only one lillac 'flower'?
This took up even more of my time when I should have been at home getting ready! And after they had finished, what I saw, was (frankly even for a guy), looked amateurish and cheap looking still, considering these button holes and corsage cost £45!
I eventually got home, leaving me 45 minutes to get a shower and suited up and to the wedding at Brighton Town Hall!
I suffer from nerve damage in my spine.
When I get stressed, it puts me in CONSIDERABLE pain, which showed in our wedding photos, thanks to unnecessary stress added to what can be a stressful day!
So I ask Ginger Lillies!
You have very good reviews on here from customers you did a good job for!
Why didn't you do it for us?
The unnecessary stress I was put through, and and resulting pain, ruined what should have been, the happiest day of my life!
One star! But you didn't deserve even this! read more
