In many cases, the florist is accused of never showing up on the wedding days and going radio silent when asked for a refund.
Desiree Pace was indicted on charges of theft, telecommunications fraud and engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, according to Hamilton County court records.Pace, the owner of Flowers by Des, is accused of accepting payments from 28 people in Hamilton County for wedding floral services, her indictment reads.
Angela Lemke, the owner of Angela’s Premier Event Designs, says she planned two different weddings with brides who had paid for Pace’s floral services. Lemke says Pace told the families that she had been sick and was dealing with family problems, but assured everyone the flowers would make it on time, as long as she received the full payment before she delivered the flowers.
Pace either canceled the contracts within days of the events or failed to appear at the events without notice, a 2021 lawsuit filed by Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost claims.“Two of the friends reached out and said, ‘Hey, if you still need a flower person, she did a great job. We were really happy with her, and she’s running a special on her Facebook page right now,’” recalled Saul.
