Mulberry Row

I had a very nice experience at Mulberry Row, and Alicia and Robin are very sweet and mostly helpful. The flowers looked beautiful and were ALMOST everything that I had wanted. I have a few gripes:

- I wanted poppies, more than anything. Because of the season or something, poppies would only be buds in time for my wedding. In my contract, it was stated that they could substitute a similar flower if they couldn't get the one you asked for. Which is fine. Except they gave me DAHLIAS instead. Look it up. They don't look alike at all. The color was the same, though, so I wasn't too pissed. They showed me the dahlias and I figured they knew what they were doing, but I really don't like dahlias.

- For my aisle, I wanted it to be all flower petals in a gradient of colors. I expected a subtle, almost imperceptible change from color to color. Instead, I got stripes of color. NOT what I asked for.

- I had individual roses hung from a tree at the end of the aisle. I wanted the ribbons to be in all of my wedding colors, but they only had two of them. They were also satin instead of grosgrain (my preference), but I can't fault them on that.

To be fair, I hired them a month before the big day, and they did a great job at pulling it together. Also, no one noticed any of the flubs except me, and I didn't even notice until it was over. So, points for that. I'd hire them again, but I'd give them a lot more notice, so maybe they could give me more of what I expected next time.
