I am really disappointed with how my flowers from Best Buds turned out for my wedding.
In the morning, I went and picked up hair piece. When I told them what I wanted, I sent them a picture of single succulent, and hardly any framing or other flowers.
When I picked up my hair piece, it was two small succulents surrounded by a lot of baby's breath. If they were going to change what I asked for by so much, I expected to be told about it by phone or email.
I got really nervous about what my bouquet would look like when I saw my hair piece, and the woman in line in front of me ALSO had her order made incorrectly (her flowers were for a grave.)
Then my bridesmaids picked up my bouquet later in the afternoon and it was NOT what I asked for.
I asked for a bouquet, with a succulent as the main centerpiece, framed by a little bit of hydrangea and baby's breath, and foliage, not round at all, with trail. I wanted it very loose and organic.
Instead, I got a perfectly round ball of white hydrangea, with two little bits of foliage, zero trail and the ugliest succulent I have ever seen in my life. It looked like it hadn't finished growing and was a reject succulent. I called and complained and was told they only bought one single succulent and that they had no way to get me another one. So I had to send my bridesmaids all around the city, and they eventually found a new beautiful succulent at Zocalo. Then my bridemaids had to take it back to Best Buds so they could remake my bouquet and they made it back half an hour before the ceremony.
This should never ever have happened. I was so specific about what I wanted, and was so detailed in my description, they should never have been able to have gotten it wrong, and I have no idea how a professional florist saw a succulent that looked the way mine did and thought it would be okay to put this in ANY arrangement, let alone in a brides bouquet. I would never recommend anyone trust their vision to be executed by Best Buds. By using them you would be taking a huge risk. Wish I had gone somewhere else. read more
