How long do you need to give notice to the florist about a wedding bouquet?

I called in yesterday with my request because my wedding is in two weeks exactly and I thought that would be enough time to get the bouquet together, simple soft pink and bright pink roses, she got all snotty with me, saying all of her roses are going our for valentines’ day and mine would have to be ordered because I want special colors, I said that's fine because it's not for two weeks.





she told me to call back after valentines day the 15, so we can order them and said that ordering them now would be counter productive…now I know what that means, but…does that apply in my case?





How is that counter productive to have an order placed and pay upfront? My wedding is on the 22, if i call on the 15th, is that enough time for her to make this arrangement, or should I call a different florist?

you might want to check with a different florist, I don't agree with the crabby person above me visually addictive, she seems a tad agitated. I had my bouquets made in three hours by a really nice florist, it just depends on the florist, call around and don't let these rude people ruin your special day.
Reply:If she was snotty to begin with, why should you do business with a total crab? It's also your mistake on not doing things in a timely manner. People need to have enough notice because she may be doing someone else's wedding that was booked in advance. It's incredibly rude to expect someone to work on a time limit such as yours and it's proper to give them at least a month's notice. I would call several places and ask them if they have a schedule open for your special needs. You can offer to pay upfront, which is a good idea since your wedding day is fast approaching and would be more convenient to a person working in your time frame.
Reply:If this was your first contact, then I can understand the crabbiness (to an extent). This is one of their peak times of the year, and you're calling on short notice.





Unless you had contracted with this florist before, then you should probably find someone else. I think she was trying to communicate to you that she doesn't have time to help you. Find someone who's a little more receptive.
Reply:It doesn't sound like that place has good customer service. This is a busy time of year for florists, so I can see why she would be stressed out - but it's still not an excuse to act unprofessionally. I would call some other florists in your area and find one that is friendly and can explain to you politely when your bouquet flowers should be ordered.
