I have very mixed feelings regarding Sisters Floral. Prior to the original meeting with Sisters, they requested that I send them inspiration pictures they could use to put together preliminary designs. I sent them several pictures of the various things I liked. Included in these pictures were small cascading bridal bouquets that brides hold with two hands at their waist and a floral necklace to tie around a dog's collar. At the meeting, they presented a powerpoint presentation to us which included the exact inspiration pictures I had sent them. During the next 10 months, no one from Sisters ever mentioned they would not be able to create similar concepts on two important pieces to me, the bridal bouquet and a flower necklace for my dogs. Since no one mentioned it couldn't be done and everything they showed us were the original inspiration pictures I had sent, I assumed the final products would be similar concepts (obviously the exact flowers would be different, but I thought it would look conceptually similar). On the day of the wedding, I was very disappointed in the bouquet (no cascading flowers that could be held with two hands at the waist, I was told to hold the very heavy arrangement like a baby up at my chest so the stems were exposed, kind of similar to prom queen floral arrangements) and the dog's flower necklaces (was a greenery arrangement with extremely small flowers on them that weren't really visible) as they looked nothing like what I had sent them or they had presented to me. On the wedding day, I didn't see the bridal bouquet until it was handed to me as I was walking outside to take pictures with it. There wasn't really time to say anything and even if there had been, there was no way they could completely recreate the bouquet. When I contacted Sisters after the wedding to express my disappointment, I was told inspiration photos can never be matched as flowers will never be exactly the same and different flowers are available at different times of the year. They also said I should have told them I didn't like the bouquet day of, so they could remake the bouquet for me. They never addressed the concepts being different or apologized. Other than these two issues (which very important to me), the other arrangements (for the tables, bridesmaids, arbor and fireplace) were very pretty and looked very conceptually similar to the inspiration pictures I sent them. The wedding was outside and it was very warm that day. Sisters postponed setting up the flowers until later in the day, so they wouldn't wilt from the heat, which I was very appreciative of. Thus my mixed feelings. Despite the great work they did with the other flowers and their willingness to set up the flowers closer to the wedding start time, I would not use them again and would not recommend them to others. The way they were not willing to apologize and admit the product they gave me on two important pieces were different than what we had shared multiple times with each other was too disappointing. Especially the bridal bouquet as it is in the majority of my pictures and looks ridiculous. If you do decide to go with them, be aware your inspiration photos and the powerpoint they present you are meaningless and the final product may or may not resemble the concepts/look you want. read more
