I need to start this review by acknowledging that the following ordeal is ultimately my fault, and…read moreyet my experience was the most unhinged dedication to not doing an extra nice thing I've ever seen. I always order flowers from Fallons because even though they are more expensive than other options, their quality is superior. Sadly, one of my dear friend's parent passed away. I recently lost my own mother, so I painfully resonated with the experience of losing a parent at 30 years old, much sooner than one ever expects. A couple of us girls went in to order flowers, and I raised my hand to pick up. I should have double checked the closing time, and it's totally my fault that I was driving to the store on a hope and prayer someone would still be there a little after closing. I called the store on the way, and an operator answered who said they would call the store to see if anyone could help. I'm on hold when I arrive, and I see an employee walking to their car. I'm not going to bombard someone leaving work, so I keep walking towards the front door hoping someone else would still be inside. I then see this employee running away from her car back inside the store, while she's on the phone (which I'm hopeful is the operator snagging her just in time to help me). A moment later, the operator takes me off hold, and I state how wonderful that I just saw an employee run back inside, and thank you. The operator then tells me he was advised to notify me that no one is left. I see the woman who was outside walking toward the front door of the store, so I tell the operator that I think he's mistaken because she's reaching to open the door right now. The operator starts trying to confirm the store location because we are having two different understandings of what's happening. Then, the employee smirks at me through the glass, doesn't open the door, and starts picking up little pieces of fuzz off the inside door mat. She proceeds to continue staring and smirking at me through the glass. I'm telling the operator that i'm confused, and this is the most awkward experience I've ever had. The operator repeats that he's being told to tell me to leave. The staff member inside is also still on the phone, so I realize we must be on the same call, but I can't hear what she's saying. At this point, I'm stunned. In no way should an employee be expected to help me when I arrived late, and I truly thought that since she went inside (reopening after closing up and almost to her car) that she was doing a very nice extra mile thing, to slowly realize that she actually ran away from me and is now waiting for me to leave. I resign to getting back in my car. I called my friend who actually placed the order to let her know I messed up and didn't get the pick up. 10 minutes or so go by while I'm on the phone with my friend, and my friend asks me if this staff member has left. I look over at the car she had been walking toward and realize it's still there. It's now dawning on both of us that this employee is delaying going home just to avoid walking past my car. To be clear, had the employee initially got in her car and left instead of returning to the store, that would have been totally fair. If she opened the door or even asked the operator to let me know that for x,y,z reason there's nothing that can be done, cool because again, it's my fault I'm late. Out of so many possible options, this employee decided to avoid me, avoid communicating anything other than I should leave, and sit inside a closed store. The flowers were picked and purchased, so it's not like I wanted to browse or do a transaction. When I drove to the store, I assumed I was out of luck. Now, I've just had the most awkward encounter where instead of someone taking 3 minutes to doing something above and beyond, they spent 10x the amount of time to not, and while not they decided to stare me down with a smirk. I'm truly flabbergasted that someone went so over kill to waste their own time and to provide the worst customer experience when they could have just continued leaving the lot or better yet provided such an exceptional customer experience that would have made me rave about Fallons. The dedication to making something that was my fault turn into a scenario where I'm actually bewildered at the degree of horrible service and commitment to self sabotage is unlike anything I've ever experienced. It feels so silly to let one employee take me from a loyal Fallons customer to never wanting to use them again and to share this event, but it truly was just that ridiculously bad. If you're ok with ordering from a florist whose employees will go far out of their to be unhelpful when they could have quickly been beyond helpful, then choose Fallons. In good conscious, i can no longer recommend them.

I really struggled with whether to leave this review because the bouquet I received was beautiful…read morein its own way, and eventually a partial refund issue was resolved. However, I also think it's important to be honest about my experience as a bride. I first discovered TG Floristry after seeing the owner deliver arrangements at another establishment, and I loved her work. I booked her for my wedding bouquet and boutonniere/pocket arrangement for my husband. Early on, she showed me an inspiration bouquet she thought would fit my vision, but afterward I emailed her a completely different reference photo that better reflected what I actually wanted. She acknowledged the updated inspiration, and at no point did she mention any issue with the change or indicate she planned to use the original design instead. We also discussed coordinating flowers for my wedding cake, especially since she and my cake vendor knew each other and planned to collaborate on finishing touches. All of these conversations happened months before my wedding, so I felt confident everything was aligned. Unfortunately, on my wedding day, things went very differently. When I arrived for pickup, she was about 15 minutes late, and when I saw the bouquet, I was immediately devastated because it was not the bouquet I had requested or envisioned. When I brought this up, she referenced the original inspiration photo she had shown me months earlier, even though I had clearly communicated that I wanted a different style afterward. At that point, my wedding was only a few hours away, and she mentioned being backed up with prom orders and another wedding later that evening. I realized there wasn't realistically time to remake it, so I took the bouquet because I had no other option. Later that day, I emailed her expressing how disappointed I was and requested a partial refund. What upset me further was that instead of acknowledging the misunderstanding, she argued that she didn't believe she had done anything wrong. She eventually agreed to refund $70 of the $220 total and said it would take 3-5 days. After a week passed with no refund, I had to follow up myself. I then received an explanation that honestly felt dismissive, along with a new statement that she had supposedly not charged me for cake flowers and deducted $10 from the refund amount. This had never been discussed previously, so receiving only $60 instead of the agreed $70 felt frustrating and unprofessional. Again, the bouquet itself was pretty. But it was not the bouquet I requested for my wedding day, and the communication and customer service afterward left me feeling unheard and disrespected during a very important moment in my life.

I have been so upset about my experience with Lyn since my wedding in October that I have just…read moretried to avoid thinking of it. But I still feel heartbroken and betrayed, so this review is going to be quite a journey. tl;dr at the bottom, otherwise, strap in. Our first meeting with Lyn was at Fresh Affairs which is a wonderful space, and is filled with props and so many beautiful flowers. We discussed the reception vision; a floral disco theme with a cluster of disco balls over the dance floor, and covering the rafters of our venue with hanging flowers in a rainbow array of colors, textures, and greenery. We wanted the ceremony space to be very minimalist (floor arch and rose petals aisle, all white/blush) and then immerse people in a disco dreamland. At the end of the meeting, he declared I'm "a weird one" (an adjective that has been used to describe me my entire life) so I thought he understood, and wanted to sign up for a funky and fun lil collaboration with me and my husband. We decided to DIY the centerpieces to save money and so Lyn could focus on the hanging installation. While planning some doubts arose; first when I told him we got the venue to let them in an extra two hours early so they'd have plenty of time, and he scoffed and said it wouldn't take long. When we signed the contract it was far under the budget we had set, yet when the amount of product needed to fill the space started to seem high, Lyn repeatedly waived off our offers to pay more. Then, our one and only consultation was a mess. Lyn started the meeting by forgetting about it. My husband and I sat on the Zoom link for 15 minutes before sending an email. We got an apologetic reply, and then started an hour late. Lyn seemed to have just finished eating dinner and was relaxing at home, drinking a glass of wine for the duration of the call. He had a lot of small details wrong (numbers of people, etc.), but also made a suggestion I loved (adding pastel flowers to my bouquet) and overall was friendly. When I voiced my fears about the cost and time factors, he told me "honey, if you want something you've never seen before, you're going to have to trust". He was absolutely right, so despite the lack of response to my follow-up email of reference photos/thoughts, I waited excitedly to see what he came up with. When I first left the bridal suite for photos, there were no rose petals to be found in the aisle, and the floor arch was a near-perfect replica of the inspo photo I sent (a truly lovely act of plagiarism, and I cherish those photos). In response to my sinking expression and inability to recognize my bouquet when I walked past it (the utter lack of color and personality led me to see it in its vase and think it was decor) the coordinator told me the florists had left, but she would call them to come back and fix the aisle. When I walked into the reception space for the first time, my heart dropped into my stomach. Instead of hanging in a cluster over the dance floor, they had scattered the disco balls across the space on flimsy wire, low enough that people could touch them. In the center of the dance floor was an aggressively pink and dense floral arrangement. He plagiarized his own work here, and the main hanging element was strings of orchid flowers (even though we talked about amaranth several times) I have seen recycled in photos of his prior work at least twice. They ended up raining down on my guests the entire night and made the place look like a Barbie luau. When I've talked about my disappointment with friends and family since my wedding they all point out that they arrangement was very fun if you didn't know what the plan was. And maybe the flowers are beautiful. However, I can't see it because all I see when I look at them in my wedding photos is disappointing, unoriginal, and a half-assed attempt to deliver on the promises he made. Regarding our email exchange after the wedding, I don't understand how a person can do their job so poorly and then have the audacity to say they are "truly sorry this happened to you guys" (as if consoling us about something that was out of his control), but Lyn managed it. The good news for anyone reading this is that if Lyn decides to take your money and then proceed not to care about your wedding, he might give you a full refund too. You can choose whether or not you want to take him up on his offer of a private conversation afterwards to discuss how he can do better in the future. I certainly didn't feel compelled to give him any business advice if this is the type of person he is while conducting it. Tl;dr: my experience with Lyn left me with the impression that he seemed to think he was entitled to take my money and not to care one iota about any of the details of my wedding, besides a few cherry-picked details from our infrequent conversations, and then produce florals featuring a fair bit of plagiarism of both his own previous work and that of others, while calling it "custom".
