Southern Blooms co. legit?

So I had decided to go with Sola Flowers & was originally going with Eco Flower. But they were horrible with customer service. I made one order and it was a horrible six month process... 3 months in I hadn't heard anything from them so i asked for my money back and to cancel my order and then...

So I had decided to go with Sola Flowers & was originally going with Eco Flower. But they were horrible with customer service. I made one order and it was a horrible six month process... 3 months in I hadn't heard anything from them so i asked for my money back and to cancel my order and then another 3 months to receive even that. So after that I heard a lot of great things about Southern Blooms and so the first week of January I ordered through them and still have not heard anything. I didn't actually order anything from their website but a customized order was made and I paid for it. I know it takes time and my wedding is not until September but I have emailed them twice already and no response. Has anyone worked with them and what did you think? Should I not be worried?

    I sent a message on Monday and didn't get a reply but I sent a follow up message tonight and got a reply within 10 minutes. When you guys do get your flowers, can you let me know if they came as you thought they would with the colors and all? I'm worried that even the standard set of bouquets are a final sale and my wedding isn't until March

    Most of my messages they didn't reply to for a while but I finally just got my flowers last week. I'm relieved to have them. Just be patient & keep trying to get through to them.

    They really are. it's always a scary thing to put your money and wedding future in someone's hands you don't know over the internet. so glad this worked out, I cannot wait to get them. I believe the owner emailed me last night apologizing for the delay and that totallg gave me a different perspective of the company for sure.

    I ordered mine today! There was a little delay in responses in the beginning but i'm patient so we'll see, now it's just a waiting game..ugh!! I would love to see how yours turned out Jenna, you should be able to upload a pic from your phone or computer if you click on the little button above that looks like a square with a mountain and sun in it. Smiley smile

    Yes definitely be patient it is worth the wait. if you find me on Facebook I can private message them to you, for some reason I don't have that picture button. I can attach an article, put a smiley face or add a video lol super strange. It's Jenna Hylkema on Facebook.

    I would steer clear of southern Blooms. Long story short, after 21 weeks (with a 9-12 weeks original quoted time) I received my order.... and it's wrong.
