I agree with all the other one star ratings. I had seen the bad reviews online, but gave her the benefit of the doubt because my wedding planner vouched for her. I wish I had listened to my gut instincts.
My first meeting with Melissa was tense to say the least. She is very snotty to me and my mother. We were willing to overlook it because I expected her work to be well worth the attitude. Unfortunately I was wrong.
On the day of my wedding she was late delivering the flowers and setting up. As if that wasn't bad enough, they were all wrong. The colors and flowers weren't at all what we discussed. The ring bearers pillow was made out of moss instead of button mums, so it shed all over the place. The pomander that she made for my junior bridesmaid was supposed to look like a purse, instead it looked like a huge beach ball and the cheap strand of plastic beads she used to hang it from broke before the ceremony even started. The cake stand was supposed to be covered in crystals, instead it was covered in more of that disgusting moss. These were only a few of the mishaps that I was aware of, but apparently there were more according to my wedding planner.
After the wedding my planner asked her for a small refund because of all the mistakes, she refused.
The bottom line is I would not recommend Botanika to anyone. Your wedding day is one day you should not look back on and be disappointed with. It makes me sad when I look at my wedding pictures and angry at how much money I spent to be treated so badly.
Cons: Wrong flowers, wrong colors, rude service
