We had the pleasure of working with Kristin for our wedding day florals, and she was nothing short of simply AMAZING. Since our initial phone call, she was so detailed and thorough and truly went above and beyond to capture my vision. She was so receptive and friendly, and meeting her on my wedding day with the florals I had dreamt about made the day so special. She truly has an incredible talent and a heart of gold. Thank you Kristin for making our wedding day so perfect!

Kristin was fabulous. We had a couple of last minutes changes at the venue. I called Kristin in hopes she could fix the problem with greenery. Not only did she fix it but it was elegant, simple and perfect. All the bouquets were beautiful. She listened to what my daughter wanted and made it happen. I would highly recommend Happily Ever After Floral.

The flowers came out even more beautiful than I could have imagined. I changed my mind on exactly what I wanted after our first zoom meeting, and Kristin scheduled another meeting to make sure she was able to give me my exact vision! Last minute our venue upgraded us to a different room and she was able to accommodate us and move the flowers from the ceremony room to the reception room with ease! I cannot believe how easy she made the process and I got so many compliments on my flowers!

Nothing but amazing things to rave about Kristin. She made our floral vision for my wedding come to life and without her experience and expertise, that wouldn't have happened. The color scheme of multiple shades of purple and with different types of flowers came together perfectly. She also made sure after the ceremony the bouquets and the ceremony arch piece was put on the head table. Kristin was more than happy to hop on multiple calls, face-times, etc. with me and even stayed after she was done arranging the flowers the day of the wedding to come say hello. Kristin was such a great person to work with - professional, outgoing, personable, and just a kind person overall. 5 Stars!!

Hi - Mother of the Bride here. You know when you have a vision and then wonder if there is someone who can take your vision and make it a reality? Well, Kristen can take your vision and make it magical! Simply magical. Her attention to detail and sheer artistry will take your breath away. I really am still in awe which how beautiful everything was for my daughter's wedding. Thank you!!

Kristin is amazing! She is worth every penny and truly doubles as almost a second “wedding planner.” She gave me amazing advice during our consult, which she did for free, and helped me tease out wedding ideas and color schemes far beyond florals. She is kind, thoughtful, and the flowers were exactly what we wanted. We even accidentally forgot to order flowers for our cake and she helped us last minute, and I was not even aware so didn’t feel any stress. AND I even forgot to request to have the flowers for our first look and she promptly dropped them off at our air bnb, something she did not have to do at all. Again, she truly not only helped with my flowers, but with my entire day and relieved so much stress. She made the vision come to life and she kindly stayed at the venue throughout the ceremony to make sure everything goes perfectly. She also quickly took down our ceremony flowers to help us decorate for dinner. I can’t recommend her enough and cherish the amazing work she put into our florals that made our photos absolutely perfect. I miss our beautiful flower arrangements already and wish we could keep them forever :) Thank you so much Kristin!!!

Best floral company have ever worked with by far!! A Happily Ever After Floral provided all the flowers for our wedding this past weekend in Jacksonville Beach, FL to perfection. From the first inquiry to Kristin to the wedding day she has been nothing but professional, friendly, easy to work with and supportive of my event. She demonstrates true passion for what she does by listening to what you want, offering suggestions, and then going to work to create the most beautiful bouquet that I could ever imagine for me and the entire bridal party. I have already referred her services to several others with upcoming weddings. You will not be disappointed! Thank you Kristin. You far exceeded all expectations!

We were so blessed to have found such a wonderfully talented floral artist for our daughter’s wedding! Flowers are such a visual element and they really set the tone for a wedding. The labor of love that Kristen put into her work was evident and we can’t thank her enough! The bouquets and all floral were absolutely stunning and exactly as Danielle had wanted. Mother Nature was not cooperating with us that day and Kristen was so accommodating at setting up indoors. We would highly recommend Kristen! She was absolutely amazing!

Kristin was phenomenal. She made my wedding floral vision completely come to life. I am not really into flowers and during our initial planning meeting, she completely understood my awful description of what I was envisioning and made it come alive. We planned our wedding a year and a half in advance due to COVID and Kristin was so flexible with the changes and updates I had throughout the time. Everything looked so beautiful the day of. Cannot thank her enough!

Kristin was amazing. The floral arrangements were incredible. We kept it simple with the flowers at our wedding - arrangements on either side of where we got married, bridal bouquet, and centerpieces at tables. But the flowers popped and looked so amazing. Kristen is a true professional and we highly recommend her services.

We arrived at the shop in January 2020 with no appointment but Kristin let us in anyway and I immediately felt a connection with her. Our wedding was scheduled for April 11, 2020 then September 26, 2020 because of Covid but it finally happened on April 11, 2021.
Just days before the wedding I realized I forgot to order a boutonniere for my husband and he wanted one for our officiant. It was no issue for Kristin.
It rained on our wedding day so we had to go to plan B and I found Kristin hard at work when I went into the ballroom. The ballroom aisle was stunning and the floral arrangements behind the officiant on the wall were gorgeous.
My bouquet was beautiful, full of pink, purple white and greenery held together with white satin and pearls.
Immediately after the ceremony in the large ballroom she took it all down and redecorated the small ballroom for our reception. Kristin went above and beyond decorating, actually doing some things the restaurant staff should have done.

Kristin did an incredible job with my florals for my wedding on 1/16/2021 in St Simons. She was able to bring my simplistic, yet elegant green and white vision to life while never meeting in person as I was planning a destination wedding! She was a thorough and timely communicator and made sure that any of my questions were answered. She even provided honest advice that helped me make the best decisions for myself. I also found her prices fair and reasonable. I would highly recommend A Happily Ever After Floral for your wedding!

ll I can say is “WOW!” Kristin killed it. Not only was she flexible with my venue change and design change, she took my vision and went beyond my expectations. Guests were in awe of my giant floor altar piece & my wild oval boho styled bouquet. Kristin is easy to work with, shows you examples of flowers if you have no clue about them like I did, she will tweak anything if needed and she’s just the sweetest and easiest person to work with. The entire experience was phenomenal and I would book her for any event in the future.
Again, I thank you with all my heart for my amazing flowers. You are simply the best! ❤️ I’ll add the pro photos once I get them back but I couldn’t wait to write the review

From from the first phone call with Kristin, I knew it was going to be a pleasure working with A Happily Ever After Floral. She listened to all our ideas and added her own creativity. She was very responsive through out the whole process and answered any questions we had. We received so many compliments at our wedding about all the floral arrangements and we were truly blown away by the work they did! We would recommend them to anyone looking for a great florist!

We cannot say enough how blown away we were with our flowers. I got so many compliments on how beautiful the floral was, and honestly at first I thought a picture I saw of the bridesmaids bouquet was the bridal bouquet! They were so beautiful, and when I saw my bouquet it was more beautiful than I could've imagined. We also rented a hexagon arch backdrop from Kristin, and she did a beautiful floral arrangement on there, as well. She was excellent to work with throughout the whole process - so attentive, a true floral expert (which was helpful since I don't know anything about flowers), and helpful in helping us pick the most beautiful flowers for the best value for a bride on a budget. She also helped us repurpose the arch floral for our Sweetheart table after! Kristin was so friendly, and flexible as well when it came to the changes we had to make as a result of the pandemic. We definitely picked the right florist, and would recommend her to everyone!!

A Happily Ever After Floral was an amazing company to work with during debatably one of the most challenging years to plan a wedding! From my "consultation" meeting with Kristin to the final wedding day, every step in the planning process and Wedding Day was perfect! Even before booking with A Happily Ever After Floral, Kristin was invested, professional, and able to guide me through the process of selecting wedding florals. I came to the table with only our wedding colors and a couple photos from Pinterest. Kristin was able to quickly brainstorm a Wedding floral masterpiece! She had excellent knowledge of the best flowers to use based on color, budget, and durability for Florida heat. She kept our budget in mind when helping to create our centerpieces as well. Three weeks before our wedding two of our bridal party weren't able to come and our final table count was smaller (ie COVID), I called Kristin just to inform her we wouldn't need those flowers and she was able to redistribute those costs to flowers on our seating chart sign, ceremony sign, and around our sweetheart table! Kristin was an absolute pleasure to work with, she is very good at her job, and creates floral masterpieces all with a positive, helpful, and welcoming attitude! Our flowers were more than worth every penny and helped create the perfect wedding venue!

Kristin was great to work with! I had a vision of what colors I wanted for my flowers, but didn't have many specific kinds in mind. She helped me pick out what types of flowers I should use and the bouquets turned out beautiful! She was on time, very organized and set up all my table arrangements, as well as helped with pinning boutonnieres. I would highly recommend A Happily Ever After Floral!

I've been in the wedding industry for about 8 years. When my husband and I started planning our wedding we chose to hire vendors that we'd never personally worked with so to not hurt feelings (the industry in NE FL is huge so it wasn't hard). One of our few exceptions to this was choosing Kristin to do our florals. Kristin is so incredibly talented and will fulfill your vision whether traditional round arrangements of roses and hydrangeas to large airy arrangements like mine was. I'm pretty sure there's nothing the woman can't do!

I went in with a couple pictures from Pinterest and she was able to give suggestions (and examples of previous work) which turned out even better than my inspiration pictures. Kristin was prompt with delivery on our wedding day, and partners with a local charity to donate the flowers to nursing homes. I would absolutely recommend Kristin and her team to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and experienced florist!

We were beyond thrilled with our experience with Kristin and how beautiful our floral arrangements turned out. We initially knew very little about flowers but had an idea of a color scheme and a “look”. Kristin was able to bring this to life in the most experienced and professional way. She listened to us and turned our words into a vision by showing us pictures of her previous arrangements and letting us know what would be similar and different based on what we said. On our big day the entire wedding party’s flowers were gorgeous, the arrangements on our cake and our cross were perfect. We had our guests compliment the florals and even witnessed some taking pictures. Kristin was amazing to work with in that she was flexible with our schedules and appointments, she understood and worked with our budget, and overall was positive and so helpful through out the wedding planning process. Thank you Kristin for helping make our big day perfect.

We consulted with a lot of florists before we finally made a decision. But as soon as we met with Kristin, we knew our search was over! We didn't really have a specific floral plan, just some general ideas & a few pinterest inspiration photos. Kristin was so helpful in developing our decor & providing photos of other weddings she had done that matched our ideas perfectly. She was so thorough, professional, & responsive to all my emails & requests. While A Happily Ever After Floral is a bit pricey, it is SO WORTH IT! The quality of their floral arrangements & the day of service made me not regret a single penny we spent. Everything turned out beautifully, & I know our wedding would not have been the same without them. Highly recommend!!

If you are looking for the most wonderful florist for a wedding in the Jacksonville area, Kristen, the owner of A Happily Ever After Floral, is the florist for you. From the first time I called Kristen, she made me feel comfortable and at ease with all of my questions—and from that first conversation on, she always answered my calls. She was professional, kind, caring, and listened to every detail—actually writing them down in her notebook.
When my Daughter-in-Law and I met with Kristen to finalize everything, we shared pictures and ideas, and she assured us that everything would be perfect—and it was. We were looking for a theme using succulents, and Kristen made this dream a reality, with succulent-based bridal and bridesmaid bouquets, groomsmen’s boutonnieres, and the reception favors at each place-setting. Not only was she skilled, with great service, but she helped make our budget work—as an example, the greenery for the bridal-arch was repurposed for the reception.
You can tell that Kristen loves what she does, and she does it so well. On the wedding day, she was there personally delivering the bridal bouquets, the table favors, and pinning the succulent boutonnieres on the groomsmen, telling each of them about the rules for succulents so they would make it to the photos (they made it). . This personal touch helped make that pinning a special time for us, the parents of the groom.
If you are in the Jacksonville area and in need of a florist who has the rare combination of skill and caring, contact Kristen at A Happily Ever After Floral.

It was a pleasure working with Kristin at A Happily Ever After Floral. Her arrangements FAR exceeded my expectations. When initially planning my wedding, floral arrangements were honestly not at the top of my priority list of what’s most important to me. WOW did A Happily Ever After Floral change my mind about that! Kristin’s talent extended to help me narrow down from a myriad of Pinterest options to come to a focused color scheme that was timeless and classic while still providing a unique and personal touch. The arrangements created seamless continuity from the tables and bridal party bouquets to the wedding cake. This connected perfectly with all of my decorative elements. Kristin worked very hard to stay within my budget and was respectful of it. She was always easily accessible to answer questions or provide a timely updated quote. All of these talents made planning a lot easier especially as a destination bride.
On the day of the wedding, the floral team quickly and efficiently delivered all arrangements to multiple locations the day of the wedding so that as the bride I had nothing to worry about. The bridal bouquets were artfully arranged in the bridal suite, ready for their close up. The table and ceremony arrangements blew me away. My parents, family, friends and all guests were commenting on how beautiful the flowers looked. My bridal bouquet and hair clip in particular were absolutely incredible. I had shown a picture on Pinterest and this was an identical copy with added elements that we had discussed prior.
Too add a “cherry on my wedding cake” A Happily Ever After Floral was featured the week prior to my wedding on TLC’s Four Weddings. I was thrilled to share this news with my family and friends as we watched in excitement and anticipation. Not only did this bride win but the producers of the show selected A Happily Ever After Floral for the final ceremony florals.
I would highly recommend A Happily Ever After Floral to any bride, local or especially destination or for other types of events. They are a trustworthy fixture in the area that provides extremely professional services and stunning floral arrangements.

Kristin is the bomb dot com. I know NOTHING about flowers. I had some colors I wanted and a few inspiration pictures. After our first conversation I was truly impressed. She is super organized and has a talent for putting together beautiful arrangements. My flowers were PERFECT. From the cascading bouquet, to the pew decor, to the center pieces, to the garland, to even sign and cake decor. Kristin is awesome! She is very prompt in responding to emails and making sure that you are happy with all of your arrangements. She truly cares that YOU love your arrangements and will make any changes to accomplish this. You are in great hands with Kristin!

The first appointment we had with florists was with Kristin of A Happily Ever After. After meeting with her, we cancelled the others. We knew very little about flowers and she set us at ease. Her insight into what we envisioned was right on target. We also learned a new word - repurpose. Use the flowers and candles at the ceremony and the reception, too! Emails were answered promptly. Everything she created - bouquets, ceremony flowers, centerpieces, garlands - was absolutely beautiful. On the day of the wedding Kristin and her team arrived right on time. There were many compliments from the guests about how impressive the flowers were. We could not be happier with Kristin and A Happily Ever After!

Kristin's flowers were absolutely stunning, she did our bouquets, boutonnieres, center pieces, isle pieces, floral piece over the four-post pergola, and some greenery over our chandelier. You kind of forget what you ask for 6 months prior to what you get so I was excited to see the surprise! Right when she walked it - I was blown away! She puts an incredible amount of effort into every detail and really listens to what the bride wants. She was also quick to respond and even stayed after the ceremony to help my wedding planners repurpose all of the flowers in the reception area that were used for the ceremony. Below are some pictures, although I don't have too many professional ones back yet - I will add them when I get the rest! I would highly recommend Happily Ever After Floral!!

Kristin went far above and beyond to exceed all my expectations regarding the florals used at our wedding. In addition to providing everything on the contract, there were added accents everywhere that completely caught me by surprise and blew me away! Every single aspect was stunning and with her help, everyone in attendance was treated to an amazing experience. Green filled the rooms and brought our ideas of welcoming nature into the venue walls to life. The groomslady bouquets were lovely and lush. There are not enough superlatives to describe how perfect a florist Kristin has been for us throughout the entire planning process and the wedding itself. To say that my husband and I were blown away is still an understatement and I want to share my gratitude for playing such an integral role in the success of our special day.

We are beyond happy that we chose Happily Ever After as our florist. Kristen was amazing to work with. She is very customer oriented, professional and organized. She is very personable and really listens to what you envision for your floral arrangements. Our floral arrangements turned out beautiful. We couldn't have asked for more. She made our dreams a reality. We highly recommend Kristen and her company!

Kristen at Happily Ever After Floral is a flower saint! That's how we refer to the her now. My wife and I live in Atlanta and planned a destination wedding in Ponte Vedra, Florida. Kristen was the first and only florist we visited! We described to her in the most abstract way what we wanted and she was able to listen, show us pictures and based on our personalities make suggests that were perfect for each of us. On June 4th, 2017 we had our wedding at the Lodge and Club and the flowers were talked about almost as much as we were. We even made last minute table size changes and still Kristen rose to the occasion with a smile and a "I've got you covered!". Our friends and family were so impressed there was a slight tug of war at the end of the evening to settle who would be taking which flower arrangements home. We can't thank Kristen enough for making our day even more beautiful with her professionalism and her attention to detail. Flowers for the trellis we stood under, tall and short table arrangements, different and distinct flowers for the head table, bouquets for the wedding party, boutonnieres for our escorts and flowers for our dessert table. Everything as requested right on budget. You won't go wrong with this florist no matter how small or big the event. All our best! Lynette & Jacqueline.

Kristin went above and beyond for our wedding. She even met my husband two days before the wedding to deliver flowers that he could give me the morning of our big day. We met with Kristin a few months before the wedding and immediately felt comfortable with her. We were confident that she was going to deliver an amazing arrangement. She blew it out of the water. From the bouquets to the columns with flowers on them that framed my husband and I during the ceremony, Kristin didn't miss a single detail. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and everything we could ever imagine! Afterward, Kristin came and took all of the flowers that we didn't want and re-purposed them to give to a nursing home. I would recommend her over and over again!

I received so many compliments on my bridal bouquet along with my bridesmaids' bouquets on our wedding day. Happily Ever After really went above and beyond to make all of our flower arrangements look amazing. They really made our vision come to life on our wedding day. I also had a special request to have 3 small charms of pictures of individual family members who had passed away tied to my bridal bouquet. They were very accommodating with my request and it turned out lovely. Our wedding cake also had a waterfall of flowers cascading down the side of the cake and thanks to Happily Ever After Floral it turned out so beautiful! I would highly recommend this company to anyone!

Kristin at Happily Ever After Floral was AMAZING! From the very beginning she was very attentive to my requests and was more than willing to help us create a beautiful experience while working in our budget! She even gave me suggestions for ways to save money when designing the flowers! She was professional, punctual, and had impeccable customer service. I gave Kristin a very vague vision and she helped pull all the pieces together into exactly what I pictured. Her work could not have been more perfect and I recommend her to anyone needing a flower vendor in the Jacksonville/St. Augustine area!

I'm really happy to have had Kristin (A Happily Ever After Floral) as our florist. The flowers were BEAUTIFUL and her creation was spot on with what I was looking for. She really exceeded my expectations with the flowers to be honest and she was also amazing to work with. I forgot to order a tossing bouquet because there are so many things to remember during a wedding and she created one for me on my wedding day so that I would have something. That could have been a panicked/anxiety moment but she was prepared with some extra flowers and put one together for me and all of that was avoided. Thank you Kristin for going out of your way to make sure I had a tossing bouquet and creating the most beautiful and perfect bouquet for me.

Kristin is truly amazing! Working with her was so easy, we planned almost every single floral detail for my wedding in one meeting! She was easy to get in touch with initially and from there we quickly set up our first meeting. She went through every single detail, from what flowers were in season for my wedding to the exact color ribbon I wanted around my vases. I also changed my mind and wanted to add several things to our contract after our initial meeting and she was very accommodating with that as well. I was completely stunned on my wedding day after seeing all of her hard work!!

where do I begin? after almost a year of planning I had one last final vendor to book. The flowers! I was getting super stressed and tired towards the end of planning and starting looking around and getting quotes from different florist in the area. I was even considering getting the flowers from a wholesale store and having a few friends assemble the arrangements the night before. Glad I dodged that bullet. I met with Kristen one morning before work for our first meeting. I brought pictures and gave her my vision. Even though our meeting was awesome, I still had to continue looking for the sake of giving myself options. Even when I mentioned we were still looking, her responses were so professional and made me feel comfortable.
She not only delivered exactly what she promised. It was more than I could have ever dreamed. She worked with my mother once we decided to book and accommodated to every request she had while still giving her expert advice. I wanted to cry when I saw my bouquet. My mother said she would choose Kristen at A Happily Ever After Floral all over again if she could.
When I got back form the honeymoon a few days ago I stopped by my parents house to see the huge floral arrangement's made it through the week. I sat down next to them and was able to name every single flower and plant. That is how well educated she is. Thank you Kristen. You floored us! We love you.

I had the time of my life working with Kristin on my wedding! She was AMAZING in every aspect of the word. I must have changed my order 2 or 3 times before finally deciding on the look I wanted for my flowers and reception, and she was absolutely so patient with me.
I don't know a lot about different flowers so when it came time to picking them out with Kristin, I was incredibly overwhelmed and confused. Kristin took so much time working with me. The greatest decision I made? When it got down to it, I finally told her to 'put together whatever she thought was best with my colors.' When I got my bouquets, I cried. They were absolutely stunning.
I was worried since I was so lax in making decisions as to how the reception would be decorated that it wouldn't turn out the way I envisioned in my head. But, when I walked in there to sneak a peak at it before the ceremony, it was the most beautiful room I had ever been in. I was so amazed at Kristin's work, and I am so glad I gave her such freedom in decorating the ballroom. I was complimented on my flowers all evening, and people asked if they could take some home. I would recommend her over and over again- great to work with and a true artist in her field!

Kristin is absolutely wonderful! She is truly an artist and loves what she does and it shows! She was amazing to work with, always answered my calls or emails within hours and was so knowledgeable! Our flowers were incredible! All of our friends and family cannot stop talking about how beautiful they were! Every detail came out perfectly no matter how big or small the arrangement was. I would highly recommend Kristin and A Happily Ever After Floral to all brides!

I loved working with Kristin and the team at A Happily Ever After Floral. Kristin always answered all my questions and emails in a very timely manner. Kristin is very sweet and has a beautiful creative eye. My bridal bouquet was beautiful and exactly what I wanted. In addition, the bridesmaids ’bouquets and all the flowers for the ceremony and centerpieces were absolutely beautiful. Everything was exactly what I wanted them to be! Also, the prices for all the beautiful flowers were extremely reasonable and appropriately priced! I highly recommend A Happily Ever After Floral.

Kristin was amazing and was able to create my floral vision from just a simple phone conversation. I was planning my Florida destination wedding from Georgia but Kristin was always very responsive and available to answer any of my questions. She was very professional and delivered my flowers on time on the day of. The flowers were beautiful and truly brought my wedding vision to life. She was also very helpful in the planning phase and respectful of my budget. The bouquets and arrangements were gorgeous and I received so many compliments on her work. I would definitely recommend her!

We chose to work with Kristin for our wedding floral including bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres for our July 24, 2015 wedding and were not disappointed. I contacted Kristin along with a handful of other florists when I began my search and found her prices to be reasonable compared to some other highly priced florists in the area. I was discouraged our budget could not afford the top rated florist in town but found A Happily Ever After Floral to be a good replacement. Kristin was very detailed in her meetings and made me feel at ease with all of the things I was worried about. I am a designer so the overall aesthetic of our wedding was very important to me and the colors had to be just right. When the flowers arrived the day of the wedding they were a bit wilted from the transport but the overall look was great. On the other hand I found Kristin to be pushy, and add stress to an already hectic day. She insisted on talking with me instead of our event planner and could have been nicer. Her overall attitude exuded pride as she kept repeating she had done this a thousand times and was the best at it. I would have preferred she left past business at the door and treated me as a new customer, one she could prove herself to and let her work speak for herself. I found her rules in her contract to be harsh, strictly it states "A Happily Ever After Floral will not provide any flowers for your event or wedding if you subcontract fresh or silk floral arrangement for any part of your wedding ceremony and reception or if you provide them yourself." I signed the contract anyway but was very disappointed that a vendor in the 21st century wasn't willing to work with budgets and support a bride on such a special day.I probably would have booked more with her if it weren't for this and our budget limitations. Overall the output was good, but could have been a better process along the way.
Vendor response 11/10/2015
I was quite frankly disheartened by the review, because it seems so out of place from what...
99.9% of what all other brides have told me their experience was. The bride & bridesmaids commented on how beautiful everything was when I delivered the flowers. I must admit that this really caught me off guard. The flowers were in pristine condition & not slightly wilted. Click this link to see for yourself. http://alexmichelephotography.pixieset.com/mchughwedding/ I must admit I am very hands on & wanted to the see the reaction of the bride when I gave her, her bouquet. I really felt their limited budget got the Super Wedding Touch, I included a large discount on delivery, I also provided 25% more flowers than were paid for because the bride insisted “the bouquets look as large as possible.” This is in keeping with our policy of making EVERY wedding beautiful no matter how small the budget. I have (64) 5 star reviews on WeddingWire from other past brides that would attest that I worked with their budget & they found my demeanor pleasant & friendly. Our prices may be reasonable but that does not mean the quality of our work isn’t exceptional & among the very best in the North Florida. Past clients would attest that we exceeded their expectations. Contract: The bride did unfortunately violate our contract by providing her own silk centerpieces, however we decided not to withhold her flowers & kept silent.The reason why we normally don’t allow outside flowers by the bride is because we live in the 21st century, photographers are using social media to display their pictures & often give credit to everyone involved. We cannot attest to the quality of the arrangements provided by the client & have no clue if they were properly stored & cared for. We also don’t want prospective clients to misinterpret someone else’s work for our own. Our policy has been put in place not for the purpose of offending someone but rather to protect our good name in this highly competitive industry.

I highly recommend A Happily Ever After Floral! Kristin was wonderful to work with and so helpful throughout the whole process. We met with Kristin several times to make changes and she was so patient with us every time and very knowledgeable. We had trouble choosing certain flowers and color schemes and she was great at making recommendations and helping us stay within budget. Kristin helped us bring our vision to life and everyone loved our beautiful centerpieces, bouquets, and boutonnieres! Thank you for doing an amazing job Kristin and for making our wedding day look superb!

The flowers could not have been more beautiful! I was able to wrap my grandmother's pearls around my bouquet and it was the perfect touch. I was very pleased I was able to find a way to still have her present.

Kristin was absolutely wonderful to work with. When I initially met with her I took a few pictures with me of what look I was going for. After spending roughly 2 hours picking out flowers I got extremely overwhelmed and started feeling like I wasn't making productive decisions. I decided to take a step back and give Kristin the reigns... Basing everything off the few pictures I showed her and roughly 2 hours of conversation she created the most amazing arrangements I've ever seen! I was completely shocked and surprised on my wedding day when she presented me with my bouquet. Kristin is absolutely amazing, creates beautiful arrangements, and was worth every penny!
