My family knows that I love flowers and I have received many bouquets over the years. Today I…read morereceived an absolutely beautiful bouquet from B Ridds Florists, Barnstaple, Devon, sent by my daughter. The strongly fragrant choice of blooms and their arrangement was perfect. It is one of the best I have ever received, and I called Ridds to compliment them. Based on my experience I can highly recommend them.

Sadly you are not "Goodenough" at all and I found out the hard way. Dealing with you was the…read moresingle most stressful thing about my entire wedding! In the run up to the wedding you didn't return a single call or email when you said they would, kept promising to send details (which you didn't), kept promising to confirm prices (which you didn't until 2 weeks beforehand despite regular chasing!) and doubled the price you'd originally quoted for my table decorations 3 weeks before the wedding for no apparent reason. I would willingly have forgiven you all of that if I'd been happy with the flowers on the day; all I wanted from you was what I'd ordered! Given the problems I'd had in the run up to the wedding, on the morning of my wedding I genuinely had no idea whether or not any flowers would actually appear. When they turned up I almost wished they hadn't. The decorations for the ceremony room looked as though they'd been made by a two year old, we were due to move them from our ceremony room into our reception area but they were so awful we didn't bother. My bouquets were completely different to what we'd discussed beforehand - the actual arrangements were fine but the colours we'd asked for didn't materialise at all! The absolute final straw was finding that for some reason you had decided to put a completely different arrangement for the top table to what had been agreed and ordered, without ever mentioning it! I have no idea why you did that but I was devastated when I saw my top table, and I then had to look at the arrangement I hadn't wanted for the rest of the day as it was too late to change it. I just wish I'd gone with my gut instinct a few weeks beforehand and just forfeited the deposit and found another florist. Nothing anyone can do will ever undo how devastated and disappointed I was with what you produced. I only hope that this message may spare someone else that experience, I wouldn't wish it on anyone on their wedding day :(

Probably one of the best florists around, good value for money, great arrangements. Would highly…read morerecommend.
