DAHLIA A FLORIST

Description of Work: I used Dahlia a Florist for florists.

Description of Work: I bought a Living Social deal from Dahlia for a one-hour flower-arranging workshop, that included all materials, instruction, and a glass of wine. The value was $34. When i called to schedule my class, I was told that they were all filled and I would have to accept a "kit." I thought this was ridiculous. They obviously had not planned out this offer. But it was close to the expiration date so i agreed.I had to make an appointment, so i expected that the flowers would be fresh. I just picked up my "kit" and what a joke. I got a generic glass vase stuffed with a torn piece of mesh, "instructions," and the flowers: 2 pieces of greenery, a twig, 3 stems of cheap flowers, and 4 old, browning roses. The salesperson made a big deal of asking me if i "minded" if she gave me extra flowers, like she was really doing me a favor. That's when she added the old roses. She never mentioned the glass of wine I was supposed to get. When I got home and really looked at everything, and read the "instructions," I couldn't believe it. It was one sheet that basically said "Do whatever you want, whatever makes you feel good."No actual help. I thought since they got away with not holding the class, at least they would make it up with some nice flowers.There is no way I got a $17 arrangement, much less a $34 one, since they did not have to do any work. I could have gotten a better bouquet at any grocery store for half the price. Living Social deals are a marketing tool used by businesses to acquaint buyers with their services. The idea is to get you to come back. I will NEVER go back to Dahlia, I think i was ripped off and blown off.

Description of Work: I went to Dahlia to purchase a flower arrangement for a friend who was recovering from surgery. I talked to the florist and we decided on a small bouquet in bright colors - pink, orange, and green. The arrangement was fairly compact and was placed in a small fishbowl style vase. The flowers were then boxed with tissue paper in a cardboard box. The end result was an unusual and beautiful display.
