Time not being on my side, I ended up going to Birkenhead Market for the flowers. I choose a tied bunch in a box with a selection including Mauve Roses, Thistles a Gerbra, asking if I could have the same flowers and they said yes we can do them for you. I asked if they could replace the Pink Gerbra with another colour, they offered Cream.
I wrote a card out and paid £17.99
At the Funeral yesterday, I saw the flowers....White Stocks, Yellow Roses and some small Purple flowers. Not even resembling the flowers I ordered!So disappointed.
Now I can understand if they had to replace one flower but ALL the flowers, it looked like it was a bunch of miss matched flowers!!
Talk about disappointed.
I would have gone elsewhere if they would have said they could not do like for like and understandably replace a flower or colour of flower.To be honest these looked like a £9.99 bunch of flowers.
Will not be using them for the two family Birthday's I have in March, in fact I wont be using them again.

That is so bad and really you ought to go back to them for an explanation and even a refund.

Thanks for your comment Salmon, I have emailed the shop and told them I was very disappointed. I actually felt ashamed as all the family's flowers were beautiful and you could see all these eye catching arrangements and stunning flowers, a lot of care had gone into the choosing....mine looked like a tired, miss matched bunch, a last minute thought.
You really would NOT choose that mix of flowers or the colours.
There were other family flowers that came the same shop, they were more than likely what they had ordered, red roses and thistles included.
Mine were just awful. I tried to put a lot of thought into them as he was a nephew and as the God mother of this young man,he meant a lot to me.I was ashamed and disappointed when I saw the flowers. I wont use them again or recommend them.

RE market florist. So surprised you did not get what you wanted.I had a MUM letter arrangement done in white peach and yellow roses, A Casket top arrangement in cream white and peach, also several small posies, all as requested. only ordered four days before funeral.it was July so maybe time of year is a factor or maybe business has changed hands.I responded to your post around the 20th January.Your reply said you were going soon after to look. I note from your latest post that you were late ordering but that should not have affected quality.
