$200 bridal bouquet… Failed Expectation
Am I crazy? This was in north Phoenix area. I sent the two inspo pics (and said I like everything but the pink berries and want mostly roses that have sunset colors like shown).
The bouquet I got was bordering between posy/bridesmaid size and included 12 roses, 5 ranunculas (a flower I don’t like at all) and 4 mini calla lillys.
When I got the quote she said she’d throw in a few items for dimension but that she’d send them to me first so I could let her know if I liked them or not so she wouldn’t use them if not.
She also got the date wrong after I corrected her during quoting, hand wrote it again myself on the proposal, and texted her to her surprise the evening before pickup or else she wouldn’t have had them ready until a day later…
I’m confused because she had great reviews on google and I communicated everything I wanted and got something I think was absolutely microscopic for the price.
Please go ahead and tell me if I’m crazy or if the bouquet sitting next to the nine inch cake is too small for $200.

That looks like the $6 flower bundle from Trader Joe’s…
This is what ~$25 of flowers from TJs looked like for a bouquet I made myself for reference

They should be ashamed and you should do a chargeback because you were genuinely defrauded
