No Wedding, No Flowers, No Refund
A representative from the North Carolina Florists Association said, while policies vary, most florists will refund deposits if you give at least a month's notice of a cancellation.
Posted — UpdatedShe had already paid a $600 deposit to the reception hall and and a $1,400 deposit to The Carriage House Florist in Wilmington. Since she canceled more than seven months before the scheduled date, she hoped to get those deposits back, she said.
The reception hall quickly sent a refund. Carriage House owner Marilyn Koonce reluctantly agreed to a refund, too, according to Honeycutt.
Honeycutt documented repeated calls to Koonce about getting the refund, but she said the florist kept putting her off.
In May, Koonce promised a refund after Mothers Day, according to Honeycutt.
"[Koonce] said after Mother's Day she should be having her funds available to pay me back," Honeycutt said.
That didn't happen. Honeycutt said Koonce soon stopped returning her calls.
