Twice my husband bought me flowers from CT Flower Shop and both times the flowers were nearly dead…read morewithin 24 hours. The first time I didn't say anything because I didn't want my husband to feel bad. This time, for Mother's Day, when the flowers were a wilted mess within 24 hours I decided to write to the shop and send photos to give them an opportunity to make it right with a refund or replacement, particularly since my husband spent over $180 to have this arrangement delivered. (By the way, the arrangement is appallingly overpriced at $144 and my husband prepaid a hefty delivery fee and an additional very large tip of $20). Although she has promised to send another arrangement today to replace it, she had the audacity to say next time I should follow the instructions and give it water because she claimed there was no water in that vase when in fact it was 3/4 full of water still. The photos provided in my email were close-ups of the wilted flowers and didn't show the vase. I couldn't believe how insulting her response was, trying to deflect blame on the customer. I sent her a response with an additional photo of the full vase of water.... did she think a bouquet of flowers was going to drink nearly half-gallon of water in 12 hours since delivery????? We regularly give businesses second chances, often more, but when a business blames the customer without evidence/justification that's a deal breaker for me. I told my husband just now that he should never use that florist again. I'd rather have no flowers than get poor quality, overpriced flowers from a place that would insult customers like this. Follow up -- in a subsequent email response to me when I had told her that I didn't appreciate her insulting comment, she accused me of refilling the vase after the fact and claimed that my original photo proves it, and refers to me as "triggered". I've added a photo of this communication. And, the first two photos I had attached to this review are what I had sent her (not the one focused on the vase which I sent her after she insulted me). I'm adding to this review a duplicate of the one photo I had sent her and I've added a notation pointing to the water line in that photo - the photo she's claiming shows there's no water. Can you imagine an arrangement drinking over half a gallon of water within like 18 hours LOL. Her behavior in this situation is appalling. 5/13 @ 12:37pm ET: Adding my response to the florist's comment below: She has been repeatedly rude. After making crazy accusations and calling me triggered in email, I told her to not bother sending a new arrangement and instead to send my husband a refund. She was given the opportunity to make it right with my outreach and she chose to be incredibly rude and insulting and direct blame at me rather than just graciously taking accountability like a professional would. After her repeated insults I decided I prefer to not have her come to my house at this point. I've never had to write a bad florist review in all the years my wonderful husband has had flowers sent to me at least 3x/year...till this terrible encounter with this rude woman.

First, it's much larger than you might think from the road. There are lots and lots of flowers, veggies and other garden items; no quarreling over the choices to be found here. And for the most part the staff has proven helpful. Mostly. Our main issue is over the prices -- this is not a shop for anyone operating on a budget. And in the spring of 2024, it's pretty expensive here to buy potting plants, perennials, hanging baskets, fertilizer, potting soil, vegetables and the like. You may legitimately argue over whether the likes of Home Depot and Lowes can match the quality here, but they certainly do better when it comes to pricing. Check it out -- you may disagree. But at least you have been cautioned.

Initially, I was so excited and happy with Jessica. At our initial consultation, she was so…read moreaccommodating, generous, kind, and helpful. However, as our relationship progressed and it got closer and closer to my wedding, this attitude changed. It became IMPOSSIBLE to get an appointment with her. For our final meeting before the wedding, I gave her no less than 10 dates/times that I was available during the 3 weeks prior to my wedding and she absolutely refused to make any time for us in the evenings. Because my husband works during the day, he was unable to participate in the creation of our floral arrangements. In addition, she was really inflexible as to the dates/times she was available. During this time I had law school finals and she was definitely not understanding. I would have to ask her to do something multiple times over many months before they would actually get done. Then, a little more than 30 days before my wedding she INCREASED the price of our contract by $400. That is A LOT of money for people who are operating on a budget (which is most people). This increase was because of the increase in market price due to weather around the country. As a result, I asked for an estimation of what everything would cost so that we could cut some things out to keep the price closer to the contracted price (ie: if we order less flowers, the cost of the flowers is necessarily less). Not only did she refuse to allow me to reduce the amount of flowers I was going to order, but she REFUSED to give me a break down of what everything cost. This leads me to believe that we were ripped off. When it comes to working within someone's budget, she is not accommodating or understanding. She has said to me once that someone came to her with a budget that she absolutely could not work with and that that couple needed something "in between Stop & Shop and Me." So, be aware that she will not work within any budget. First of all, the day of the wedding, SHE WAS NOT THERE. She sent her husband. Her husband is just as argumentative and inflexible as she is. On the day of our wedding, my husband had to argue with him that we contracted for candles on our mantle pieces and on each table. He actually had to point to where it said it in the contract before he would get us candles. Definitely not something one wants to do right before you are about to walk down the aisle. The flowers that were actually at my wedding were beautiful. However, many of the things that were in the contract and that we PAID for were NOT THERE. These were among those things that were missing: my toss bouquet (I had to use one of my bridesmaid's bouquets), a flower on each place setting, arrangements on the cocktail tables, and submerged flowers on the mantlepieces. We PAID FOR all of these things and they were not provided to us. Additionally, at our last meeting prior to the wedding (approximately 2 weeks prior), she asked me where she should leave all of the flowers. I instructed her to leave them in the bridal suite before she left because we were going to be getting ready there. That conversation was just a waste of breath because she wasn't there and she obviously had not conveyed that to her husband so no one brought our corsages and boutonnieres to our family members for the ceremony. My photographer had to go and look for them before our formal pictures. Her husband had just left them somewhere in the mansion and had not even told anyone where they were. When we brought all this to her attention, she told us she would speak to her husband and call us back. Our wedding was on June 4 and to this day we never received a phone call from her. When I posted this on WeddingWire.com, initially she disputed it and it was taken down temporarily. However, when I verified my information with the editor, it was reposted. Her response to my repost was a blanket assertion that everything I said was false and is insisting that I wore a $7500 dress to my wedding (even though what my dress cost had absolutely nothing to do with anything either of us said). Not only was my dress nowhere near $7500 (I wore a Jim Hjelm dress and it was $2800), I have pictures, e-mails and documentation for EVERY assertion here.

If you are a vendor and are considering providing services for one of Jessica's "stylized photo shoots," get payment IN FULL IN CASH AT YOUR FIRST MEETING. She will not honor contracts. She will not pay you. She will ignore your e-mails, phone calls, certified letters. This is not about her ability to create floral arrangements. This review is about her as a business person. Simply, Jessica is a thief. I experienced it first-hand and do not want a bride or a small business owner to be stolen from also. Her lack of integrity and moral compass is disturbing. You may catch her on a good day-when she honors her contracts and provides exceptional goods and services, or you may be one of the victims she has stolen from and doesn't look back. DO NOT TAKE THAT CHANCE ON YOUR WEDDING.
