Review of Valley Forge Flowers

POOR. My husband says he got me flowers here once,...

POOR. My husband says he got me flowers here once, and perhaps he did - as we have only lived here a year and its been crazy. But for that reason he decided to order a corsage for a father daughter dance from Valley Forge Flowers

My daughter is of slight frame and 8 yo. The corsage was $45!!!!!! He picked it up and put it in the refrigerator to hide it. Well, we got it out 15 min prior to leaving and it was a hot mess. It was pretty --LIE...(it was kind of hideous but I wasn't going to hurt her feelings)...but had also these large hot pink bows & extra berries etc on it, it was very heavy and the corsage was attached to a snap wrist band vs something more elegant or comfortable. The BEST is that it was joined with a pipe cleaner. It was heavy, rolled over onto the underside of her wrist and cut into her skin. When they got home from the dance less then 2 hours later, the sides were turning brown.

I called the florist today who states they could do nothing "after the fact" and only if I had brought it in before/earlier in the day. Ummm, then where is the surprise and after the fact the shop was closed.

My call garnered nothing but a whole bunch of bulls*&t, but basically a "to bad, so sad, we will do or give you nothing" response from 2 managers. WOW.....great business practices. I have seen many a corsage in my day, or bridesmaid bequests (8-9 x times!) and I have never.....ever....seen such piss poor work and hope I am not some bride on her wedding day and end up with bouquets as tacky as this (and corsages the same)!

The is why I will continue to use Proflowers online. I feel bad now that the next time I got to get something in person the extra scrutiny they will endure. I highly doubt this is the standard way to make a corsage for a young lady. I KNOW that 2 pieces of elasticized band could have been added had this been done professionally and also to the specifications of our request...Not assumptions for an overpriced, oversized, tacky and unwearable piece. Even if I have to watch 100 youtube videos to ensure it will work and/ or make one with fresh flowers myself. Do yourself a favor, go elsewhere....especially because their customer service was beyond repulsive.
