chose Buds and Blooms because they were local and was beyond dissappointed by the arrangement they sent. I spent $160 on an arrangement which I upgraded to premium and they substituted practically all the flowers for cheaper smaller flowers-- which resulted in a small, unimpressive bouquet for all the money I spent. I even specifically checked the box that said "do not substitute flowers in arrangement if the advertised flowers are not available." Instead of heeding my request, they just filled it hoping I wouldn't know (especially since my billing address is out of state) I tried to contact them several times with the starkly different pictures of what was delivered vs. what they advertised on their website and never received a reply. Save your money and go somewhere else.
