Primrose and Company

Michelle wasted our time. I met with her with my fiancé and my parents. She sat with us going over everything we liked and didn’t like, and really took the time to get to know us (or so I thought). She even wrote up a detailed sheet on everything we wanted. She really sold us hard and I was ready to put down my deposit. Instead she told us to meet with other people and think about it. When I tried calling (3 times) and emailing (3 times) within the next 3 weeks, I assumed that she was blowing us off. Finally she called us back a month later (RUDE!) and told my fiancé she did not know who he was and why he was calling. She openly expressed her hatred for our venue and its manager in our initial meeting, which is why we are assuming she blew us off for so long. When we finally heard back from her, she still did not want us to give a deposit. She could not have acted more unprofessionally. I had thought she was the perfect match for me, but I would rather go somewhere else where I am treated with respect.

Much too expensive I came in for a pair of vintage faucets and found out that they were 40 dollars each and I was shocked I also saw that other antiques were mostly resold reproductions and average décor that were also overpriced but I eventually found a pair of
vintage faucets at another store for 5 dollars for the pair.

The flowers and bouquets for my daughter’s wedding were nothing like what we ordered both in color and design. At our consultation, we came with pictures and described the flowers we wanted and watched Michelle, the owner, take notes so I don’t understand why. This mistake affected everything from the mood to the photography to the cake. With all the planning and money that goes into a wedding, it’s heartbreaking to have to come to terms with that.
During the week before my daughter’s wedding we tried several times to call with questions, but our calls were not answered. We finally stopped in but we were told to leave because we didn’t make an appointment. But we had been trying to call all that week. All of this uncertainty caused more stress for my already stressed daughter and me. When we finally received our invoice (just a few days before the wedding) it was $ 1600 more than what we were quoted, even though there were no changes to our order.
After my daughter’s wedding I stopped by the store with copies of our pictures to get an explanation of why the flowers were not what we ordered. Michelle became belligerent, showered me with personal insults, and showed me pictures that she said came from my daughter but that another bride must have given her. All I could do was stare at her dumbfounded that she could make such a big mistake.
If you decide to go with this florist, be careful. What this florist did and how she treated us affected an entire wedding and we can never get that day back.

Michelle at Primrose did a fabulous job with the flowers and decorations for our daughter’s wedding. She transformed Avalon Yacht Club into a venue worthy of a spread in Wedding magazine. The theme was a simple elegance beach theme. Driftwood accented with votives, lanterns, peonies, starfish, shells, sand, and sprinkles of petals transformed the venue. The bridesmaid’s and bridal bouquets were the perfect complement to the beach glass colored gowns.
Michelle met with us and really got a sense of our daughter’s dream wedding! We were not disappointed. Every guest complimented us on the wedding.
Without a doubt, Michelle at Primrose is the go to business for wedding flowers.
