Anar Floral

Do not use this rental company. They have decent prices and their equipment in lovely, but the staff is awful. They were supposed to give us a time frame for drop off and failed to do so. When they did arrive, we were not at the venue and thus, they charged us extra! When they were unloading the tables, they broke one of the stairs at our venue and didn't even offer to pay for it though they acknowledged they broke it. Plus, one of the coffee pots we rented leaked everywhere leaving it useless yet, the company would not refund our money for it. Every other vendor we use for our wedding was wonderful and cooperative, except these horribly unprofessional people. Do not use them!

I worked with Ariana. She understood that floral was something that wasn't on the top of my list and I hadn't alloted a lot to our budget but didn't want to sacrifice quality, so she made a lot of suggestions when I told her the look I was going for to make it fit.

I'd read a lot of mixed reviews regarding Ariana specifically, but in my opinion, I appreciated her blunt honesty - it saved me a lot of money. Plus, she was patient while I changed my mind every other week. Like I said, I wasn't expecting much due to what I'd paid & the reviews I'd read. The bouquets were exactly what I'd wanted - moderate sized bouquet of roses for myself (I'm short & didn't want anything overwhelming), and smaller versions for the bridesmaids (their dresses were snug, so I wanted something that would look appropriate)w. The colors were exactly what I'd asked for as well. The best part were the centerpieces - I was absolutely STUNNED when I walked into the reception! I had 14 tables - 13 tables had identical centerpieces, and the head table had a different one - and they were all BEAUTIFUL!

Ariana was also the person I am dealing with for our party rentals - find my review for that as well!

So I thought I was getting a great deal on flowers. Ariana was easy to work with during the whole process. However, 50% of the flowers were good and 50% were undone. We had flowers falling apart. I gave her detailed instructions on my bouquet and she just disregarded it. You really can't complain once the florist drops it off and you see it for the first time.

I also pre-paid for her to pick up her table and vases which she never did. So even after the wedding I had to deal with her picking up her stuff and she demanded MORE money. I think Ariana should work on professionalism on the day of the wedding (which is the most important day) instead of her screaming at everyone. I'm the bride, I don't need to deal with her tantrums on the day of the wedding. She will try to be nice to you to get your business but after that I don't think she cares.

Ariana did a nice job with the flowers, I wish they were a little fresher. Some had brown spots starting to show by the end of the night. She was patient through the process and let me change my mind a lot! When she brought the flowers they were not marked so the guys didn't know who was supposed to wear what bout. The groomsmen and father's ended up with the wrong ones but whatever. The rentals that we were supposed to used had to be changed a little bit since a previous bride didn't return all of them so we had to use backup versions. It was a little off without the blue vases but nobody knew but me! Last, I don't remember her telling me that I was in charge of returning the rentals...I thought she would go pick them up but apparently I was wrong. She called a week after the wedding while we were on honeymoon and I had to call my Mom and ask her to deal with Ariana since I wasn't going to be back. She needed the vases in 3 days for another wedding and my Mom said she tried to argue with her and that she had a little attitude.

I brought in a picture for my centerpieces and they were recreated perfectly!
