Amazing florals

I have worked with this flower business for quite a few elopements and the flowers are always stunning! My brides are always super happy with the bouquets and I love photographing them!

Thank you so much! I love working with you too! Your photographs are always amazing. Hope we can do a wedding together again soon!

My grandmother wanted to make my bouquet for my wedding near Sequim so we searched for flower farms in the area. Sid at Annie's was quick to respond to our request for information and incredibly helpful by providing a list of flowers likely available during the time of our wedding. We worked with her to describe the color palette we wanted for the bouquet. From start to finish, Sid was helpful, responsive, and professional. She clearly takes the care of her flowers seriously, ensuring our bucket of flowers would be in tip-top shape when we picked them up. She helped us determine the ideal timing to pick up the flowers and the best way to store them. We loved the outcome and my grandmother was able to make a beautiful bouquet for me. And the price was so reasonable! Additionally, there was a cancellation so Sid gave us extra flowers for free for the wedding. How thoughtful! We highly recommend Annie's Flower Farm for your wedding flowers.

Sid was amazing to work with for our simple DIY wedding. After writing back and forth over several months and talking about the vision we had for our wedding, she picked out the perfect variety of flowers to compliment our color scheme and vision. We mad more than enough flowers to arrange for what we needed and she had lots of helpful tips about how to keep them fresh until our wedding the day after we picked them up. So glad to have been able to support a local bussiness for our wedding!

I did the flowers for a friend's wedding, and the owner was very accommodating with my request for $50.00 worth of flowers to use as filler flowers. I gave her the colors that I needed, and she did a fantastic job of providing me with many flowers in my requested colors. She was very pleasant and easy to work with. She had everything ready at the time we arranged to pick the flowers up. I feel that I got a great deal and I would purchase flowers from her again.

I was very excited to support a local flower farm upon choosing a vendor. I stumbled across this u-cut flower farm and they advertised some beautiful arrangements online. The contact was responsive via email and phone which was nice. Two days before our wedding we had planned to drive over and pick up the flowers (a 1 hr drive). Right before we left, she called to say the flowers weren't ready because it was raining. She promised to get them to us the next day. That didn't happen either. The day of the wedding, she was meant to show up at the venue (as we had agreed she would drive them down) at 10:30 and didn't arrive till 12:30... talk about cutting it close. She made complimentary corsages and bouquets for us which was nice.. but not without me asking her to do them. As far as value goes, she showed up with a ton of beautiful flowers and helped us set them up which was great- she came with more flowers than she used but instead of leaving them there (since we paid for them already) she took them with her. I found her to be unreliable and lacking in customer service... the flowers were extremely fresh however and they still look lovely sitting in my house days after the wedding.

Annie's Flower Farm's reply:

In retrospect I should have just let the bride drive over two days before the wedding to pick up the flowers. But I am really particular about the quality of the flowers that I sell. It was raining cats and dogs and I knew not to pick the flowers in that state. It kept raining and I offered to drive the flowers (about a two hour drive). When I arrived there were two ‘wedding coordinators’ who told me I would need to stay and arrange the flowers for their tables. I always bring more from my inventory than what may be needed as I want to make sure there are enough flowers. Then I take the rest home and use them for something else. Somehow the two coordinators felt that all the flowers in my inventory belonged to them. They had not been part of the communication between the bride and I.

I was very happy with the brides bouquet and even ‘edited’ it for the bride to remove a flower that she did not care for. She had a great photographer and I was happy to have some photos to put on my website as this was one of my first weddings. So I think this was another case of me offering to do way more than what the bride paid for but her not appreciating it and finding whatever she could think of to criticize me for.

While Sid is likely a very nice person, and going to pick and arrange YOUR OWN flowers alongside her would probably work, hiring her was a disaster. The flowers were not what was agreed upon or even resembling the flowers that I wanted in shape OR color. She was VERY late delivering the flowers and so my photographs did not contain flowers. Perhaps a good thing since they were so unattractive. I spent hundred of dollars on the cake which she then ruined with the wrong and VERY ugly flowers. She really ruined my wedding. I was very embarrassed. My aim was to have a classy and elegant wedding but it looked like a country fair. She brought two random arrangements in ugly vases (again not matching or coordinating with any theme or even with each other) and placed them on random tables. She set one on my cake table! Just some random vase of drug store flowers on the side. You really do not want to give her any responsibility. She often didn't return calls, and eluded multiple times that I was getting a steal and she was making no money off our arrangement. I felt I ordered very little in the beginning and paid her a lot. After it was all said and done, I would have done a better job just going to the flower market myself and it would have costed half. Be forewarned.

Annie's Flower Farm's reply:

This is a bizarre review, considering that I charged this bride only $300 for ALL her bridal flowers. This $300 covered her brides bouquet, her floral hair wreath, a flower necklace for her bridesmaid, a partial flower crown for her mother in law, and flowers for the cake. It included an in person meeting at my house that lasted for an hour in which she begged me not to charge her very much. It covered multiple email communications over a few months. Not only that but the price covered two separate deliveries that were over 25 miles from my farm, one so she could have her floral crown while getting ready and for the photo shoot before the ceremony and the second delivery later in the day and included her brides bouquet, grooms boutonniere, and the other pieces to the ceremony site along the Elwah River. The bride and groom were about two hours late for their ceremony because they were being photographed and videographed in various locations of the Olympic National Park. About a hundred people were there waiting for the ceremony. There were no chairs, and many of the people were older. The parents of the groom were lovely people whom I enjoyed waiting with. I took a photo of the mother in law holding the brides bouquet. Everyone was in suits and dresses. The two picnic tables had been commandeered. to hold gifts. The guests, who came from a distance, were going to be served cake and champagne. The bride had two young men dressed in black who were supposed to pour champagne into the tall stack of champagne glasses. The bride and groom were from Florida. They did not have a permit to have a gathering in the national park. At one point a park ranger came to shut the whole thing down but I talked him out of it. No one at the ceremony knew exactly how the bride and groom planned to walk in, but they wanted a path of rose petals along that route (the bride provided the flower petals) One of the ‘guests’ kind of took on putting out the flower petals on the cake table and in the path she thought they would take. I had kept the flowers cool with air conditioning in my car for those two hours while we all waited. It was a sunny summer day and quite windy; quite a beautiful site next to a stand of cotton woods along the Elwah. Normally I enjoy every wedding I do. This was early in my career of being a flower farmer and florist and is a good example of how flower farmers can be coerced into ‘giving their work away’. The actual cost for what the bride purchased which included two deliveries to Port Angeles and to the Elwah River should have been twice what I charged her. I am sure I am not the first flower farmer/florist to be talked into working for ‘free’ but normally people are grateful for that kind of ‘help’. This bride was unbelievable. Her mother apologized to me for her daughters’ behavior when I made the hair wreath delivery that morning. I would have taken all of this in stride and all of this would not have been such a big deal but this thoroughly negative review takes the entire experience to a whole new level of abysmalism.

I provided her with pictures of what I wanted to make and she typed up a very nice proposal and listed the types of flowers along with the price for each which was great. She wanted the full amount up front which I wasn't that thrilled about, but I did tell her that I would give her a credit card number and she quickly replied that she didn't take cards. She called me the next morning requesting payment and asked me to drive to her bank to deposit the money. I was caught off guard by her lack of professionalism and after expressing my concerns I did go to her bank and deposit the money against my better judgement. A week before the wedding I called her to check in and to set up a time to pick up flowers. We decided on a day and time. The day of the pick up I drove to her house and no one was home. I called her and she said that I had the wrong time but assured me that she would deliver them within the hour to my house. When she came to deliver the flowers it was clear that the flowers we had agreed upon were not all there. She did bring a vast amount of flowers. But they were not what I ordered, or paid for and not in the wedding colors. When I questioned her and showed her the proposal that she had provided me she told me that I was crazy and that I had written the proposal. She proceeded to cry and tell me to stop yelling at her. She told me that she had spent all the money I gave her on these flowers implying that she had not made a profit. She told me that I was irrational and called my crazy again and said "I bet you do this to everyone that's why you wanted to pay with a credit card so you would have recourse" She obviously has a great lack of business sence as well as a lack of professionalism. She does not have respect for her clients and lacks compassion and insight.

Annie's Flower Farm's reply:

I delivered all of the flowers that the mother of the groom had ordered, in all of the colors specified. I actually ordered in flowers to get more of their specific purple and plum colors. That morning I accidentally locked myself out of the house and could not get my car keys. I had to spend an hour or so getting a key to get into the house so I was a little late. There were a number of women gathered to DIY the table arrangements and they were not happy when I arrived. I believe it was a day before the wedding. I was very generous with them for what they paid. They were all quite volatile.

I am not going to sugar coat this, I had a TERRIBLE experience and reading the other reviews I feel compelled to tell my story so this doesn't happen to anyone else.
The owner Sid "Annie" said she would have flowers ready for my centerpieces (8) on the day of my wedding at 12pm and deliver them with a fee. I paid ahead of time and emailed her pictures of the exact the vases with dimensions so she knew what I needed down to the number of stems in each vase. My aunt was helping by arranging the flowers, so all Sid had to do was deliver said flowers to the reception at the time agreed. Well she was late and called my aunt and offered to arrange the flowers since we literally had 30 minutes until the ceremony. My aunt had no choice but to let her, it was 4pm.
Proceeding the ceremony we arrived at the Reception hall and we were greeted by distraught looking flowers/weeds in pint glasses, yes PINT GLASSES! IT WAS HORRIBLE! Afterward, my husband and I agreed to let it go and not concentrate on the bad but Sid emailed me asking me how I liked them, so I gave her my honest opinion. She told me it was my fault for picking vases that people couldn't see over and I was completely off by my dimensions so she made the executive decision on short notice to butcher the flowers and make her own shit-show out of my reception. I mean, What the hell? I went back and measured the vases then looked over our email discourse and found that I had given her the Exact and Correct dimensions and she still blamed me...
DO NOT USE HER!!! SAFEWAY ROSES WOULD'VE LOOKED BETTER...My 2 year old son could have done a better job blindfolded!
Anyway, Good luck and congrats to the upcoming brides.

Annie's Flower Farm's reply:

This bride paid me a total of $100 for all white flowers for the centerpieces of eight reception tables, which included delivery 45 miles away. The vases were enormous and the amount of flowers for these vases would have disappeared into the height of the tall, wide vase. The height of the vase was given as nine inches when in reality the opening was nine inches and the vase was fifteen inches tall.

I had cut all the flowers stems for nine inch tall vases. So in a fifteen inch tall vase the flowers would have been in a terrarium.

I was able to find some other vases on site that were eight inches tall and plain heavy glass, slightly wider at the top. With the flowers this made the arrangements fifteen inches tall.

To fill those huge vases the brides’ aunt brought I would have needed five times more flowers and they would have to be very long stems.

Because it was late and the ceremony was going to be happening in another location, I told the aunt to go and I would arrange the flowers.

Because the bride wanted all white flowers I had to go get flowers from some flower growing friends to fill in what white flowers I had.

So I spent about four hours cutting and conditioning white flowers. I drove two hours round trip to deliver the flowers. Then I arranged the flowers even though it was supposed to be DIY. That is about eight hours of labor, plus the cost of the flowers.

I did fill two of the enormous vases with the some of the leftover flowers for more decorations. Now there were ten arrangements.

The bride paid me a total of $100 for $320 worth of flowers. So after gasoline and the cost of growing the flowers, I basically did all of this out of the goodness of my heart. Her all white flowers looked lovely. And after I basically donated my flowers eight of labor, she had the nerve to write a negative review?

I found this unbelievable.
