He does business in Fullerton. He did not deliver any flowers and didnt call or anything. He wants full payment before. He then says he doesnt have any money to pay people back and cares less about ruining the day. Remember... No flowers for the pictures, so is crime lives on in their memories forever!!!!! He plays a good game taking orders and money and so far is getting away with it!

There are people out there that will take advantage of you and your special day. Get references and go see one of thier weddings if you can before you decide. I can`t imagine being a bride on her wedding day with no flowers. What a horible thing to happen. Even if something tragic happened to me I have people to take care of my business even after my death. I know some things can`t be forscene, but just not showing and not giving your money back is a crime.

Hi All,
I booked kevin for my wedding which is 9/15/07 and I have been trying to call him for a week. I drove by his store front tonight and it is padlocked shut with trash all over the floor. It appears as if he was evicted.

Hi .. I had a 6/30/07 wedding with kevin... He didn`t show. I`d really like to get a group of girls together who this happened to ... It`s awful! Our wedding was 3 months ago, and lately it`s really been eating at me! I mean...who thinks stealing 1500.00 is a nice thing to do!? to the previous poster, I`m so sorry he did this to you! It`s really unfortunate... Feel free to write... Ivgirlie at gmail dot com

Can`t you report this guy to authorities? That totally sucks!! I would be so mad, I`d go hunt this guy down if he took my money and was a no show!!! There has to be something you can do. Why don`t all you ladies get together (the one`s that hired him and was a no show) and sue him? Or try to put a lien on his "business" or even his home? I wouldn`t just sit and complain, I`d try to do something about it. I`m so sorry to all the ladies that this happened to. Thanks for the warning and I will definitely check for references.

Gosh, that`s sad. I used Flowers by Kevin for my wedding and the flowers were gorgeous, honestly they were one of the best parts of my wedding and while he was a little odd I really didn`t have any trouble working with him. However I got married in 2002. At the time he didn`t have a storefront and worked out of his home. I guess he must have had some kind of financial difficulties but that does not excuse the behavior described here. I almost thought it wasn`t the same person but how many companies named "Flowers by Kevin" could there be in Fullerton?

I used to know this guy...I used to "assist" him at weddings a few years ago. He really did good work, and all the weddings I did with him were great. Looks to me like he overextended himself and now is trying to hide. I feel really bad for all of you that this happened to. I myself am planning my own wedding, and I was curious to see what Kevin was up to, and came across this board. Even www.flowersbykevin.com is gone which is a BIG clue he`s hiding...and the message states that they are not associated with "Flowers by Kevin"...like any of us buy that...good luck to all of you....I hope you find restitution.

I did a search on flowers by kevin. I typed into google www.flowersbykevin.com and it takes me to the site where it does say that they have no association with that "company". But if you look at your address bar, you will see a different site; http://www.autopartsgiant.com/stacey/kevin. If you delete the name "Kevin" and leave stacey, like this:
Http://www.autopartsgiant.com/stacey/ It will take you to another site, where it has a phone number and it says "Flowers by Kevin" at the top with a note saying Happy Valentine`s Day. It still says "Wedding Floral Design Specialist". I don`t know if any of you want to try the # given to see if you find him.
I wouldn`t trust that autoparts website either. It could be another of his "businesses".
Good luck!!

I haven`t of Kevin, but I`ve been ripped off too. The only thing I can suggest is complaining to the BBB or....If you want revenge and possible your money back, call up your local TV station and give them the opportunity to do a great community interest story! They do all the research and can usually get your money back. If nothing else, you get a chance to publicaly humillate them and make sure that NO ONE else falls for his scam.
It SUCKS that there are people out there who can ruin your beautiful day.
I know of some vendors who take your money and just run off. They may have every intention of following through, but they have no money so they can`t even afford to BUY equiptment or flowers. And thus, they keep your money, take more from others, and just skip town. I`m sorry it happened to you all, but I strongly suggest banning together and calling up your local TV station!!!

We used Kevin for our wedding in 2004 when he worked out of his home and the flowers were beautiful. I was going to recommend him to someone getting married next year. I definitely won`t now. We had the same no show problem with the limo company. Sunrise Limo.They showed up an hour late picking up my Dad and didn`t have a clue where the wedding site was. Then wanted to be paid when they dropped us off and never showed back up to take us to our hotel.There has to be some legal action for the money you lost and for the suffering of someone destroying your day.
