I was really excited about ordering my wedding flowers from here. I think the idea of going to a florist and paying a middle-man to make artificial looking arrangements for a small fortune is... well kinda silly. So I was all psyched to order my organic flowers straight from the farmers - a husband and wife team no less. They have a "wedding pack" where they send you about a dozen bunches of cut flowers, so that you can make your own arrangements. They also do more floristy type stuff for weddings in Chico, but you can get their delivered flowers anywhere, which is nice.
Unfortunately, although they were accommodating of me changing my shipping address, they completely ignored my color requests. I asked for "red, orange and yellow". What I got instead were "purple and pink." I was thoroughly annoyed - particularly because there are flowers in my requested colors all over their website. Instead it seems like they sent me what they think wedding flowers are "supposed to" look like. And nothing gets me more fired up than that.
We were able to supplement things a little, and using other decor we tied everything in to match the color scheme. The flowers held up a long time and still looked pretty enough, even if they weren't quite what I wanted. They recommend that you receive them 2 days before the wedding, as that gives the flowers some time to open up, and that was definitely true. Overall, this was great for a DIY couple, or anyone who cares about their decor not being coated in chemicals. But I would be REALLY specific and adamant about your color choices if that's important to you.

California Organic Flowers's reply:
There must have been a misunderstanding, because do our absolute best to match the color requests of our customers. We would never 'ignore' requests and we try to be very clear about colors and flowers varieties by emailing images of the flowers the bride will receive prior to shipment to confirm requests. We would like to offer a sincere apology to Sharon for any misunderstanding of colors that may have occurred.
