I worked exclusively with the owner, Jefferson, via phone to design the arrangements. I realized they made cakes. So I ordered a German chocolate cake to the order. I am so happy I did. They delivered all the arrangements and the cake to the restaurant. The flowers were beautiful and the cake was probably the best I have ever eaten. The cake was very moist and the chocolate icing was like eating fudge. I wish I had taken a picture of the cake but I was so busy singing happy birthday before I cut it. I will definitely use Bulldog florist and Careaway cakes again. They were fantastic!

I ordered a specific arrangement online, and added the chocolates with a card to be delivered. The arrangement arrived and it was wildly different that what I'd originally ordered - see the picture of what I thought I ordered vs what was delivered. I called the shop to ask if there had been a mistake, and was told that they didn't have the flowers pictured online, so they made a different arrangement at a comparable price. I guess that might have been okay -- if you'd called me to ask?? I spent nearly $100 on an arrangement that was supposed to have a particular meaning for my friend, and they just made a substitution without informing me. If I hadn't called to follow up after my friend sent me the picture of what she received, I wouldn't have even known! Not the kind of service I am used to. I have ordered from local flower shops remotely before and they have always contacted me about any changes or substitutions different from what was advertised and paid for online. What if the person receiving the flowers had a specific allergy?? Just not acceptable. I will not use them again if I need to order in this area.

I placed my order on Friday, the website said it was eligible for same day delivery. 30 minutes…read moreafter placing my order I received an email from Michelle Thomas stating that they would not be able to deliver that Friday, but would be able to deliver on Monday. I responded and let her know Monday worked just fine. Later that same afternoon I received an email saying there was an issue with my order and it would not be delivered. I called the store on Saturday to see if they would be able to deliver my order, the lady who was working seemed very lost and had no idea what was going on with my order. She suggested I checked my card transaction to see if the order had been refunded. I let her know I did not want a refund I just wanted the basket to be delivered on Monday. She stated the owner was out of town and had no idea if they had my order down for Monday. This was very frustrating and seemed very unprofessional. I understand that the basket could not be delivered on Friday, but I don't understand how an employee cannot figure out if my order was refunded or if it was still on the books. This morning I received an email stating that the basket has been delivered. I reached out to the person who should of received it and he said he did not receive anything. I confirmed the address on the order was correct and it was. I called the store 3 times and was sent to a VM that was full. I was finally able to get a hold of someone (the owner). She told me that the order had been delivered. I asked for pictures or signature confirmation because the recipient had not received anything. She stated that her son delivered it so she would have to get with him. I gave her my personal phone number and asked her to text them to me When she finally called back (on my work phone NOT the phone number, which is a landline, I gave her) she said that the order had never been delivered... because the recipient did not answer the phone and his property is gated. If this were the case... WHY did I receive an email stating that my order had been delivered when it had not?? And why did they charge my card?? I asked her for picture confirmation, she sent them to my WORK LANDLINE instead of the number I provided. Then she asked me why I was being so "mean"... are you kidding me? I am in shock and disbelief, I have no idea how this business is still open. I got off the phone and she never texted me the pictures.\. I asked the person who received the basket to please send me a picture (see attached). The basket does not even have a bow...... It looks like it was thrown together very last minute with left over materials. I tried to use a small local business instead of going with one of the big commercialized businesses hoping I would receive excellent customer service but I was very disappointed. When you visit their website they have amazing reviews and false promises.... but please read the reviews Yelp... that is where you will find the truth. I originally posted this review on Google, but she deactivated her google reviews or website, not sure what she did, but she had a 2.8 rating on google.. now you can't find any of those reviews. I will never use her services again and I warn anyone reading this review.. please don't use them, save yourself the money and headache.

Words cannot express how my wife and I feel about our wedding planner, Jordan Xu, of Emily Jordan…read moreEvents (formerly Jordan Flowers of Wedding Belles). She is the best. We were truly lucky to have found her. Throughout our entire wedding planning process, we were very appreciative and grateful to have Jordan by our side. We relied on her heavily. Her guidance and support made everything about our wedding so much easier. We trusted her fully. We can't recommend Jordan and her team enough. Our wedding was April 15, 2022 at the Atlanta History Center. We first started working with Jordan in July 2018. Yes, we had been planning our wedding for about 3 years 9 months. No, we did not plan it that way. Our original wedding date was May 30, 2020. My wife and I had planned for a roughly two-year engagement and wedding planning period. Then of course, COVID happened. Our wedding was postponed twice: First, to May 7, 2021. Then, to April 15, 2022. Jordan was with us and supported us every step of the way. We went from planning a pre-COVID wedding to a post-COVID wedding. We went from in-person planning sessions to virtual planning sessions. We went from "normal" tastings to masked and socially-distant tastings. (BTW, the tastings - both for the food at the reception and for our wedding cake - were some of my favorite parts of the planning process.) We found Jordan after doing internet searches for Atlanta wedding planners. Jordan was one of multiple planners we contacted. One of the planners we spoke to wasn't a good fit. She recommended Jordan to us. Also, an Atlanta wedding photographer I know put in a good word about Jordan. After meeting with Jordan, my wife and I agreed, Jordan was an excellent fit. We immediately felt comfortable and jived with her. Coincidentally, Jordan and my wife went to the same college for undergrad (Emory) and Jordan and I are from the same part of North Carolina (Piedmont Triad). We've gotten along with Jordan so well that we consider her and her husband our friends. They are just really good people. Jordan is very professional and organized. With her years of experience in the wedding industry, particularly in Atlanta and with our venue and vendors, I knew we were in great hands. In general, my wife was more involved in the planning process with Jordan - she was more particular about certain details than I was. However, I think I was involved at an "above-average" level for a groom. I attended every meeting, but admittedly, tried to stay as hands-off as possible. Jordan was invaluable at securing appointments with the vendors that made the most sense to us based on our budget and preferences. Here were our vendors: * Venue: Swan House, Atlanta History Center * Florist: Unique Floral Expressions * Caterer: Affairs to Remember * Cake: Confection Perfection * DJ and MC: Andy of EuroAndy Events * Ceremony Music: Piedmont Strings * Furniture: EventWorks * Wedding Car: Ramblin' Reck from the Ramblin' Reck Club * Photographer: Leigh Wolfe Photography * Videographer: WedFlix * Bride's Wedding Dress: Sweet Elegance and Gizzelle James Couturiere * Bride and Bridesmaids Hair and Makeup: Scoobie West & Company * Bridesmaids Dresses: Bella Bridesmaids * Groom's Tux: TRIO Custom Clothiers * Groomsmen and Bridesman Tuxes: The Black Tux * Hotel: InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta * Trolley: Georgia Trolley Services * Dance Lessons: Fred Astaire Dance Studio (Durham, NC) * Planning Platform: Aisle Planner * Website, Registry, RSVPs: Zola * Paper Save the Dates and Invitations: Minted * Digital Save the Dates and Address Collection: Paperless Post Going through two years of postponements, we did have a couple vendors change due to life circumstances: (1) Our cake vendor changed from Lush Cakery to Confection Perfection. (2) Our dance studio changed from Daza Dance to Fred Astaire. A few of the vendors, we found ourselves. For example, I already had an existing relationship with TRIO, so I got them to do my custom tux. My wife and I already had our minds set on a Swan House wedding. Jordan made it happen. She and her team, along with many of the vendors we chose, have a lot of experience working together *and* working at the Atlanta History Center. So, for the most part, everything was quite easy. I think the hard part, at least for me as the groom, was decision-making on certain details (e.g. menu) and getting our guest list in order. In addition to securing the vendors that fit us best, Jordan and her team (including Sydney Woods and Gerard Wright) took care of so many details, I can't even begin to tell you; from reviewing and coordinating contracts and payments to little things on our wedding day, such as getting lip balm for my lips that were chapped from so much kissing. Jordan is a consummate professional. Simply put, Jordan exceeded our expectations and executed the wedding of our dreams. Check out our wedding trailer to see exactly what I mean: https://bit.ly/3laAY1h. Thank you, Jordan!

I cannot say enough good things about Wedding Belles. During wedding planning, I had asked my…read moregirlfriends who had recently gotten married themselves for tips and advice on what services they thought were helpful. The unanimous response was "hire a day-of coordinator." My husband and I had already done a lot of the planning so we didn't need a wedding planner but the idea of someone else handling all of the details in the days leading up to and on the day of the wedding sounded like a great idea. Hiring Jordan and Kristen was one of the best decisions we made and some of the best money we spent on the wedding. They were with me all day as I was getting ready, ran interference on the couple of inevitable hiccups that happened with guests and wedding participants, ironed my dress one more time, made sure we ate, and even played chauffeur since the church and reception venue were so close that we hadn't hired outside transportation. Above all, these ladies were calm and professional throughout the entire event. I can't imagine a better team to hire to help with your wedding.

If you are African-American or Hispanic, you may want be very careful coming to this supply store…read moreand really watch how you're being treated never accept being second best we all deserve better. This morning I drove 24 miles after picking up a u-haul trailer to purchase a tree from Masters landscape and supply and after going through the line to pay for my tree and I headed directly to the yard To recover my tree. I was the first one in the yard yet I was ignored by the forklift driver for over an hour. In fact The forklift driver loaded four trucks that weren't even in the lot when I got there I am one of the last people to play the race card because I have a lot of Caucasian friends all over the world. And I know that they would never condone this type of behavior from a business. Finally I got tired of waiting so I pulled my truck and trailer back to the front of the building and I walked back into the store and got in line to wait for a refund. Suddenly one of the managers approached me and asked if I was loaded and I told him no that I was in line to get a refund. He said please come with me and I'll take care of this right away and he got me loaded immediately. In addition he offered an apology. Also I think he sent the forklift driver over to apologize and I accepted the apology. But that doesn't change the way I felt and it certainly doesn't excuse the way they acted based on my color or at least that was my perception. I purchased a tree but I will never visit this location again and what a shame. While I was waiting I saw a lot of stuff that I needed for my yard but I can't in good conscious buy from a business that allows employees to disrespect me, devalue me, my time or that of people who look like me. Perhaps the name of their business [Masters] has really gone to their heads and they are starting to believe their own bullshit. What a damn shame!!!
