I was going to use Strides for my flowers. I had a meeting with the man who deals with the flowers. A successful meeting or so I thought. he got me a sample which was not what I wanted. I asked for another 2 samples of roses which I was told would be at the shop within a week. I went to collect the flowers which were not there, he hadn\'t been able to get them but did not ring to tell me this. I persisted to ask when we would get the sample he said in a matter of days. I never got to see the samples and was told that they were happy with the original flower. I felt like they did not care that the original flower was not anything like I wanted. After another phone call where the flower man insulted me I demanded my deposit and went elsewhere. The florist I used found the rose I\'d requested immediately....

I am very dissapointed with strides, i have not felt that my big day is important now that my dress is paid for.My dress was ordered in the wrong size so i was told that that was my dress and they could not send it back and i have put weight on! They did in the end re-order me a different size and now it needs altering a little. I get married in 4 weeks and my dress has still not been altered....
