~~The Gayla Pink Apple~~
*****************************************
This arrangement has my name on it for sure...it is so me!
Earlier today I shared my disappointment in the flower cake I ordered for the centerpiece for tomorrow's luncheon. The florist sent a replacement arrangement and it is fantastic.
This arrangement screams Gayla. It is so very much me. I love it! Yes, I called the lady (florist) and told her how much I loved it and what a wonderful and delightful surprise it was to get such a nice replacement. Here are a few pictures of different views...

As disappointed and frustrated as I was with the first delivery, I was not rude and angry on the phone with the florist. I calmly expressed my disappointment and gently explained the arrangement was being used as my centerpiece for a luncheon. They kindly agreed to send a replacement, explaining that it would not be the flower cake, but they would send a new arrangement. I asked for green and pink flowers.
With green runner - too much green, don't you think?
In my first blog earlier today fussing about the situation, I did not call the florist by name and therefore, I am not naming them here either. The florist told me that it was best to order direct. It is my opinion that online ordering is the norm now and although I understood what she was saying, I would like to see florist comply with what customers order online instead of taking the position that customers need to order direct.
I believe online ordering is the norm now not the exception. And, I believe florist need to send what the customer orders. They could have called me and told me they needed to substitute. Afterall, online ordering requires a telephone number and an email address from the customer.
All is well that ends well, right! This ended very well! But, it has been a stressful day.
We went from this ..... unacceptable
to this - beautiful!
Cheers,
It's a birthday celebration
