I have began my search for a florist for our Spring 2021 wedding. I had this local florist in mind who books up pretty early and is well known. I have always wanted them from day one. I had a phone consultation on 4/23/20 due to Covid and it went AMAZING! She heard my vision and was taking words out of my mouth it was a match made in Heaven! She said she thought we would be a great fit and that her style was right up my alley and she would get us a proposal in 2-3 days.
On 4/25 she sent me an email that said she was uploading a proposal and mood-board to HoneyBook by the evening. Nothing got uploaded... I waited a week and then assumed they got swamped due to Mother's Day coming up and they were running on less hours due to Covid. So I waited until after Mother's Day and sent a check in email on 5/11 saying I understand if they are busy but just wanted to check if the proposal was ready so I could secure the date. She emailed back the next day saying she was "uploading shortly".
Here it is almost the 19th and I have yet to hear anything. I've gotten quotes from other places at this point but really had my heart set on this on florist from the beginning and the connection we had sealed the deal for me, but now I'm worried. My budget is $2,500 BUT I admitted I was flexible to create my vision and she said that was very realistic for what I wanted and said they work with all budgets.
My question is should I take the ghosting as a hint that they may no longer want to work together? Maybe because my budget may not be a lucrative as others? Or am I jumping the gun? My mom and FMIL say it's unprofessional and I should probably just book with one of my other choices but I don't want to do that and then hear back and have remorse.... Thanks for reading my rant! Anything helps!!
