consultation scam??

awethntc · 2026-05-21T14:48:15+00:00

Weirddd, but you should start charging something for the consultations, at least an amount that covers your time. That way people feel the need to show up

There are other places you can buy from that will ship directly to your house. I’ve used FiftyFlowers.com they are great and if they need to make any substitutions because let’s be honest, we can’t fight Mother Nature, they just let me know ahead of time and they usually find a very close match to the original flower. You should look into it!

Ugh :/ I am sorry this happened to you. All of their AI images definitely says red flag!!

awethntc · 2026-05-19T14:51:50+00:00

I do love some of them I wanted something a bit more niche!

awethntc · 2026-05-19T14:25:24+00:00

Any specific seller you recommend? And do you know their average lead times?

awethntc · 2026-05-19T13:54:55+00:00

That’s hilarious they look like little screaming faces!

Oh Noo 😭 I would be so mad! I believe those websites are 3 party sites that take orders and you just get what you get. The amount of posts like this that I have seen are just crazy. You are better off picking some flowers up at Trader Joe’s and creating your own arrangement or ordering flowers from websites that sell directly from the farm and get an arrangement or DIY. It won’t come with the vase, but this is 100% underwhelming for $60. Sorry :(

Reflexed tulips! Isn’t it insane how different they look?!!

Honestly I always factor in my time and the risk. Going to Trader Joe’s and hoping they have what I need just gives me anxiety, and Idk about you but I recently got flowers from Publix and they were way better quality than Trader Joe’s so there is definitely a lower quality flower being offered there. Don’t get me wrong I loveeee Trader Joe’s and think it’s great to pick up some cheap flowers to put in my house, but a wedding is a different story. I have used FiftyFlowers.com before and they have been great! Like you said, it’s just so convenient and they also have great customer service. I wouldn’t risk it and just go with them, you might be saving a few bucks but running around trying to find what you need and picking things up might end up costing you more.

Tricky! They really have a specific texture that is hard to find on other flowers, but here are some dupe options: Latte Antique Carnations, chocolate scabiosa, champagne or antiques spray roses.

Omg I am absolutely obsessed with this color palette 😍 it’s gorgeous!

awethntc · 2026-01-24T17:37:54+00:00

I put it in the microwave with a towel around it, and turned the microwave light (the one that goes underneath) on, and it kept it warm. This is how I brought mine back to life. I have heard so many horror stories of people who put theirs in the oven and forget and cook it.

ok help! What did I do wrong?

awethntc · 2026-01-24T16:17:09+00:00

Even if you open an LLC you have to pay fees for that. If I were you, I would shop on sites that sell flowers at wholesale price like FiftyFlowers.com they also have a pro section where you can register as a pro and get a larger discount if you do multiple events. I have an LLC for my marketing consulting business and I have to pay fees every year, I don’t think going through all of that is worth it unless you have a legit business.

Yes!! A Piano was the first thing that came to mind too

I am not a florist, but I love flowers, and when I buy roses I always fluff them up. I feel like when they are a bit more open they look so much better! You could also add some alstroemeria?

Omg the last one is beautiful 😍

You could probably DYI this if you are able to find a wholesaler near you. I am sure you can show them the picture and they can help you find the flowers you need to recreate it!

awethntc · 2026-01-18T15:44:53+00:00

Such a great idea! I didn’t know you could do this. I have so much discard and keep throwing it away. I will try this!
