Drove two hours to a wedding consult and the bride canceled when I walked in the door

She looked me up and down, said my shirt had 'too many colors,' and told me to leave without even letting me unpack my sample book, so has anyone else had a client judge you before you even show them a single flower?

Did you even try matching her vibe before you showed up?

43 year old me wishes I figured this out a decade ago. @logan_mitchell's point about the phone call really hit home since I used to think showing up was half the battle. Saved myself a few awkward drives since I started asking for a quick chat first.

That "too many colors" line stings I know, but honestly she did you a favor by showing her true colors upfront. Next time, save the headache and casually ask for a quick phone call before the drive to feel out their vibe and confirm details.
