This was my one mistake for my wedding. Having married the man of my dreams, I try not to let this bother me for all eternity. She was an hour late delivering our bouquets and boutanierres. She didn't return emails or phone calls in a timely manner during the planning process. In the end, she ended up adding her own creative flair which ruined the vision I wanted. Her ""creativity"" added colors I didn't want and flowers I didn't want. My photographer highly recommended her and I now know he he was biased. I didn't know they would soon be working out of the same building. I was wrapped up in the planning and should have googled her to find these reviews which are SPOT ON with the problems I had.\r

Stay away. Her pricing is triple if not higher than other florist...and although when you skimp, you don't always get what you pay for, in this instance, I paid way too much for something I didn't want. Melissa White is one of the rudest wedding vendors I have ever come across. She had nothing to say when I expressed my displeasure and said it was too late to remedy any of the flowers. I asked for a partial refund, when I really deserve a full refund, but there was labor and actual flowers so I was reasonable in my request. She would have nothing of it and has refused even a partial refund.\r

Future brides and ""eventeurs"": stay way from Botanika and Melissa White.
Pros: appears confident in her own ability
Cons: her ego gets in the way of delivering what the client asked for
