Sally's Roses & more II
(Located on Blanding & Collins)
I feel that i need to share my experiences with this vendor so that future brides may be cautioned when thinking of using them.

I met with them a few weeks before my wedding because i had some budget issues with my previous florist (who also was my coordinator). While speaking w/ Bonnie from Sally's roses & more, she seemed so kind and was all about going above and beyond to make everything beautiful.

On the day of my wedding, not 1 thing was delivered as promised!!
Besides being over 2 hours late (they didnt deliver the flowers until 45-50 minutes prior to the wedding), the girls that made the delivery were very rude and to top it off, they didn't bring more than half of what i purchased. And what they did provide was wrong.

I paid for 5 dozen roses and only 3 were provided. They also did not give me the types of flowers that i ordered.
I paid for 5 large bags of rose petals in burgundy and ivory and they only provided 2 bags of petals containing yellow, pink and white rose petals.
The majority of the roses looked old, with bruising and tears on the ends.
There were many other things that were done incorrectly & i will not sit here & go into it all, But what i do want to do is make others aware of the substandard service they provided and how they handled the situation after the fact.

My caterer, coordinator & cake baker were all very upset with the mistakes that Sally's had made because it effected there jobs on that day too. my caterer even contacted the owners to let them know i wasn't happy & their exact words were, "she will just have to deal with it".

A few days following the wedding, my husband and myself went into their office to speak with them about these major issues. They made excuses & denied everything...and to top that off they had the nerve to call me a liar & throw insults to me and my husband.
needless to say, we will be taking further action against them. But i wanted to let other girls know of my experience before they decided to hire this company. They give great prices & act as if they know exactly what you want and how you want it but when the day comes, they fall very short of what's promised!!!!!!

I am sorry to hear that this happened to you at your wedding! I hope this experience won't tarnish your memories though :hug:

:detective: Did you ask for references and to see samples and such before you hired them? Did you find out how long they had been in business? Was there a contract stating all the details, exactly what you were paying for, the when and where and what if's?

I can't believe someone would treat you that way after they made a mistake! :w00t: I hope it all works out for you!

So other than that, everything went well I hope?! Got any pictures? We'd love to see some! Maybe start a new thread when you get the time?

Tell ya what, I want to give you a free personal (post) wedding website (if you don't already have one that is) Let me know, PM or email me.

Best wishes,

~ WebLady :)

To make matters worse they are going to the chat forums and directly to my posts and attacking me directly. They are claiming to be another bride who had a different experience with the company but what seems very strange is that this person signed on, after the company found out that i had posted negative feedback about them, and also, this person is only on here posting to MY posts and attacking me.
This behavior is very unprofessional!!

wedding diva,
Thank you very much for your kind words. I have really been going back and forth about this for a few months now...part of me wants to fight them all the way...i cant let them get away with this. But another part of me just doesnt want to deal with it. There are to many other important things going on in my life, ya know what i mean?

Either way i choose to go, i do believe in Karma and what goes around will definitely come back around and get you. So one day, they will get whats coming to them. :p
