I drove 45 minutes to Dana Point to meet with Richelle Davidson, who was very nice. We spoke about what I liked and some general ideas for the bouquets and personal flowers for my wedding in June. She emailed me an estimate and I emailed her back that it was higher than my budget. I then told her my budget and asked how we could work within it. She wrote me back ""your budget is not realistic""; ""I will not be able to help you."" I am very disappointed at her lack of willingness to work within a budget and I think her attitude is very pretentious. Brides are all on a budget and to not ask for the budget in the initial meeting was her error. I cannot believe a vendor would turn away a bride because she does not have as much to spend as they would like. I was simply asking for assistance in removing or downgrading items and she was not willing to do this. The meeting with her and drive was a complete waste of my time. I am flabbergasted at not being worth her time. Simply because of this fact I would advise any cost conscience bride to avoid using this florist.
