Be forwarned: This is a mini rant to express my utter frustration with my floral partner.
I had my first floral consult on May 11th. I had read on the disboards that it usually takes 3-4 weeks to hear back, and my planner echoed this when we talked.
Now, after we talked, I had sent several emails with no reply. Disboarders suggested she didn't get my emails. So I called. No answer. But, she did coveniently email me back that day instead of calling back.
I had asked for an estimate of what the altar floral arrangement would be, and she said that we could have a phone consult on June 17th to go over centerpiece ideas and get the altar floral estimate. (The date of the email was June 8th).
So on Thursday (June 17th) we spoke on the phone. She stated the call by saying that her computer was rebooting so she'd give me the BEO in a few moments. So we talked, and she said she would email me centerpiece ideas and the BEO since we really had not much to say--I have no idea what we can do for centerpiece ideas and wanted to see some inspiration pictures. So we ended the call with her getting ready to email me when her computer booted up.
So, I never got an email.
On Friday I emailed her and her assistant stating that maybe the email got lost in cyberspace and could they email me again. No dice.
So then yesterday I emailed my floral partner and her assistant again. I let them know that if my BEO isn't ready that that is okay, but could they please send me some inspiration pictures for centerpiece ideas. Still no reply and it's Tuesday afternoon.
For me, I just feel disrespected. Let's say they aren't prepared: the least they could do would be to tell me. Why can't they email me back to tell me???
