Beautiful decorations, but issues with execution
We had a vision for our wedding and decorations that we created ourselves to add a personal touch. We just needed someone we could trust to take the decorations and lay them out on the day of. We also needed big decor items like chair covers, table runners, lighting, pillars, etc. We found Rose Chair Decor on Google and went with them as they are a one-stop shop which is very convenient - she has the beautiful decorations, rents them to you, sets them up for you, and tears them down - at one package price which is very handy. We didn't find one other company who offered this. As a bonus, we also gave her our decorations that we created, and she brought them to the venues on the day of.
Closer to the day, we had some unfortunate incidents with Rose. I had first met with Rose about a year prior to the wedding and everything seemed great. However, when we met with her a month before the wedding, she firstly forgot that we had a meeting scheduled as she was getting ready for another event. And when we did meet with her, I discovered she had forgotten almost everything we had previously discussed, despite the notes we had made together. I gave her a new detailed list for the ceremony and reception, but she didn't acknowledge them and kept referring to her old notes from a year ago. After meeting with her twice within the month before the wedding - both times my soon-to-be husband and I left feeling very uncomfortable and very lacking in confidence that she was going to handle everything correctly even though we had laid out all the details with her. She was the only vendor we hired that gave us this concern.
So, three weeks before the wedding, I decided to hire a day-of coordinator. Mainly I did this so the person can oversee Rose because we honestly did not have confidence that she would be able to take care of everything as we requested. It was very lucky we did, because on our wedding day, Rose FORGOT the correct time of the ceremony even though we had discussed it several times, and it was in the documents I gave her. If our coordinator hadn't called her an hour and a half before the ceremony to ask her where she was - we would have had no decorations at our ceremony which would have been terrible. She also kept texting me throughout the day instead of the coordinator which showed me that she may not quite appreciate the importance of a wedding day to a bride. We had originally arranged for her to take our decorations that we had made at the end of the night and hold them during our honeymoon, however after finally learning about the goings-on of the day, I decided to have our friends take them home because we simply did not trust her.
In all fairness, I will say that Rose's decorations were beautiful. We were happy with the results once they were executed correctly. Her chair covers, table runners, ceiling lights, flower arrangements and candles were all beautiful. And as I said, she is a very convenient one-stop shop as she rents you her decor, sets them up and tears them down at the end of the night. I'm not sure I can say it made up for all the stress it caused us so close to the day, and the fact that we had to hire another vendor to oversee a vendor that we were paying for - but they were nice.
