I booked Fresno State floral for my wedding, and being an alumnus I was really excited to use them. My parents used them for their wedding nearly 30 years ago and my matron of honor had used them for her wedding a couple years ago.
Anyway, we made a weekend appointment for a consultation since I no longer live in the area. Elisa was nice, but not super helpful. We didn't really know what we were doing as we're not florists. Anyway, we thought we did an ok job picking things out. However, the whole process once she went on leave became quite unprofessional. We should have just abandoned our deposit and booked someone else.
The bridesmaid bouquets were so freaking ugly. I saw them unload them and I just walked away, I lasted the whole planning without a single fit and I wasn't going to throw one that day. My bridal bouquet was nice, and the centerpieces were lovely (at $45 each, they better be) but the gazebo decorations were NOT what we selected. We ended up with these ugly cross-looking things, which I didn't see until I was walking down the aisle. I wanted to rip them off the gazebo. The picture we said we liked were these cascading arrangements, nothing like what was delivered.
Anyway, it didn't ruin our day. I married a wonderful man and hardly gave a second look to the horrid crap FSU delivered. However, for pickier brides, just go somewhere else. The prices aren't good enough to justify their lack of professionalism (I know they're students, but isn't the point to learn how to conduct yourself in a business?) and sub-par product. Just... don't. Step away. read more
