Anyone Bought Flowers From Budget-Bride.com?

I found a bouquet that I just love on www.budget-bride.com. Has anyone used them? Just wondering if the product was good and shipped well? Thanks!

Don`t laugh, but I`m going through my local grocery store florist. She replicates any picture, and is totally cheaper than any florist! Only downfall, I have to pick up my flowers. They don`t deliver. That`s why they are so cheap. Just a suggestion you might want to try.

I`m getting all my flowers for $350 - I have a 12 person bridal party, plus all the parents, godparents, ushers, readers, etc.

Thanks for the info. I had asked them on the phone if they were packed well, since they ARE flowers! She said that they could be mashed for a WEEK, and still come out looking great. That WORRIED me! I think I`ll steer clear! Thanks again!

I just wanted to post that I did not have a problem with Budget-Bride, they were absolutely fantastic, my flowers were exactly what I ordered, and were very conscientious of my needs, I was very pleased with them, I wouldn`t knock them so hard. I also heard they went through some staffing changes, with their packaging person, so I am sure they are just fine. I would definitely recommend them.

Tanya- Would you mind me asking what color your flowers were? I wanted an Ivory hand tied bouquet w/ matching boutineers. Were they exactly as pictured on the website? The reason I ask, I live in Oklahoma and after finding the bouquet I wanted on the Budget-Bride.com website, I found the exact picture of my bouquet ( and I do mean EXACT) on a website belonging to an Oklahoma based florist! When I asked the Budget-Bride customer service about it, she said she`d heard of several people copying their designs. Just curious if yours were exactly as pictured. Thanks!

Traci: I ordered #1653 exactly the way it looked on the pictures same color and all, and I ordered everything, the boutennieres, the corsages, all of it, I spent well over 250 dollars, and it was all perfect, it did look exactly like the picture, so if the pictures are being copied they are being copied from their website, I am pretty sure, because my bouquets, look exactly like the picture. They are beautiful. I would definitely go with them. Call in the morning though if you do call because the girl who answers the phone in the morning, is just wonderful, and so helpful. I can`t remember her name, but I would definitely recommend them to any of my friends.

NO BEWARE DON`T BUY FLOWERS FROM
BUDGET-BRIDE !!!!! I ordered flowers WAY back in March when it was still quiet and it took them 5 weeks and only then because I was COMPLAINING! Then they arrived and were the wrong color, so they said send them back, which I did on May 12, 2005 and now it is June 7, 2005 and NO flowers back, NO replies to my 25 e-mails and 10 calls to service. I hae now contacted Better Business to file against them. BEWARE - BEWARE of Budget-bride.com!!!!!!!

I am hoping the fact that the last post was in June means that things have straightened out for this company... Although my gut is telling me otherwise. I`m a week away from my wedding with no flowers... And am not getting any response to my multiple emails. Is anyone else in the same boat or had a similar recent experience?
