Based solely on your message, it sounds like you have a cause of action, probably for Small Claims.

It sounds like you can sue for the $200 that was 'extorted' from you at the last minute (since you have a receipt showing 'paid in full'), plus the value of any items paid for that were NOT received (such as the centerpieces, balloon trees, etc. that you mentioned).

I would send the florist a letter (Certified RRR) detailing your complaint and your 'damages', requesting a refund. Give her a reasonable (5 business days from receipt?) to respond. If she doesn't, then your next step should be to the courthouse.
