Lets start with my bridal bouquet. My filler flowers were supposed to be pink and white, and instead, I got pink and yellow. My wedding colors were pink and orange...NOT yellow. When we called to let them know the colors were wrong, we were told the yellow flowers were orange. I'm not sure how they thought they could pass off yellow as orange, and think they could convince us of such. Beyond that, the filler flowers were NOT to be orange, so why they even tried to pass off yellow as orange is beyond me. They were wrong in the beginning because the flowers were to be pink and WHITE. To add fuel to that fire, my bouquet started falling apart immediately after the ceremony during pictures. I was literally dropping flowers left and right, and my photographer even made the comment that she had never seen a bouquet fall apart the way mine did. Also, most of the flowers on the boutonnieres were closed, and when my mom called to let them know, they said they would open up when they got warm. The ceremony was in an hour, and my mom asked if that was enough time, and their response was, ""I don't know, I'm not mother nature."" They were completely aware of the time of my wedding, and they should have factored that in when creating the boutonnieres (not to mention, cut the attitude and snide remarks when talking to a customer). If I need to keep going, my throwing bouquet was an absolute joke. The flowers honestly looked dead, and I would have been better off buying a $15 bunch of flowers from the grocery store. I was extremely dissapointed by the quality of my purchase, but I was even more dissapointed by the attitude we recieved when we called to see if there was anything that could be done. They were extremely rude, and did not even try to compensate for their mistakes. I originally chose Sierra Rose Florist, for I saw them at a wedding fair, and found out they were a family run business. I tried to use all local/family vendors for all of my wedding needs in order to support the Carson City economy, but I completely regret this decision for my wedding flowers.
