“I enjoyed working with Erika. Not only did she consult my general design/venue pictures to determine what florals would work, but gave me plenty of time to decide if what we discussed would be the best match. Her contract is clear for what items provide what flowers, so it is likely you could make reductions/additions/substitutions early on before finalizing vision/signing contract. She also followed closely to my budget and offered where prices could be reduced most easily without my asking (clean-up fee). I had some minor confusion on how the refundable deposit worked due to a mix of split attention issues, and the refund involving two payment types (paying by check, but credit card needed to ensure repayment can go through). If doing the refundable deposit, I recommend writing down and clarifying exactly how payment and repayment will work so other distractions do not create a hiccup in this area. One month prior to wedding, she clarified that the vision was still the same before ordering the flowers so that we kept on the same page. She took interest in my schedule and made it easy to return the vases when I opted out of the clean-up service. Communication on vase drop off was easy to coordinate as she gave me best communication method.”
