I cannot say enough good things about Charmaine and her team at Affections Floral Design! Right from the beginning, she was lightning fast at responding to messages, very personabl...
e, and so enthusiastic! She completely understood our vision for a romantic, moody design with forest elements, and what she created at our wedding was everything I dreamed of and so much more! The attention to detail, personal touches, and even some extras on top of what we requested blew us away. We received so many compliments from both guests and even the venue about how stunning the floral design was and how hard Charmaine and her team worked. She and her team went above and beyond for us to create an absolutely magical scene, and I recommend them 110%!!

A review for a fickle bride, like myself, who wants to simply trust her vendors. Charmaine took my inspo pics and created something I never could have imagined or asked for. I was ...
so nervous to see a florist about a winter wedding, she immediately got the vision. And she doesn’t stop with just florals, if you need decor- she has it. You don’t have to worry about your florals getting damaged in travel, she designs on site. She works with the space she’s in to make it as magical as it can be. I’m truly blown away, book her before she’s unavailable.

e dreamed. My jaw actually dropped when I did my room reveal because I almost couldn’t believe how perfectly she’d nailed exactly what I had in my mind. Thankfully my photographer captured my reaction! I couldn’t stop smiling and telling my husband how happy I was with how perfect everything looked. Charmaine was so attentive and detailed throughout the entire process. She was so quick to reply and always made time to answer my questions or let me come by her shop to chat through all the details. She has a whole stockpile of decor and pieces that can help bring your centerpiece dreams to life. Even before I booked her, she drove over to our venue to start figuring out a plan for the day and instill all the confidence that she could bring my vision to life. You can tell in every conversation with her that she’s incredibly passionate about what she does and she’s really really good at it.

k and what wouldn’t. She would take any vision I had and bring it to life. She is also very honest and respects a budget to stick to. Her team is amazing!
She is the BEST bridal hype girl. 2 days before my wedding the DJ bailed and I called her in tears- she found 3 other backups for me within an hour.
Charmaine truly understands the stress that comes with wedding planning and it is her goal to only bring your floral visions come to life but to also make sure the day runs smoothly. I felt that I had nothing to worry about the day of my wedding because I knew I had her in my corner in case things did not work out. You are getting what you pay for with her and she is worth every penny!! I would hire her again for an event!!

e! After a few weeks of wedding planning, however, we realized that we couldn't do it all ourselves. That's when we reached out to Charmaine.
During our first call, I explicitly expressed our budget concerns with her. She made sure to keep our concerns in mind throughout the entire process, and the results were beautiful flowers that were right in our price range!
Charmaine was consistently professional, kind, and she always responded to my texts and calls within minutes. Even though I hired her as a florist, she turned out to be a wonderful wedding planner as well!
The florals were absolutely stunning! She went above and beyond for both the ceremony and reception. We received so many complements on them. I cannot recommend her enough for weddings and events!

Her passion, creativity, and generosity with her time & talent were unmatched. She didn't just "do flowers", she transformed our entire venue! I had total confidence in her from the start & was able to fully relax knowing she would put her signature touches & heart into every arrangement. To say she delivered the florals of my dreams is truly an understatement. I cannot recommend Charamine & her team enough!

From the intimate candle lit aisle with fresh long stem roses surrounding the room, to the elegant floral drapery on the fireplace behind our sweetheart table we were astounded.

All that to say, Charmaine and her team at Affections Floral are the clear choice for your events floral arrangements and decor.

y was she flexible, but she managed to blow us away with her team’s quick set up and rearranging of plans. The florals were absolutely stunning, too! We got more compliments on our bouquets than anything else on our wedding day. Florals were not something we cared too much about and truly didn’t have a vision - I gave Charmaine minimal to work with as I was clueless and she ran with it! From the centerpieces to the ferns at the altar, Charmaine could not have brought more beauty to our day if she tried. It was truly perfect and I would recommend her 10000x over. Plus, she has an amazing personality and is funny as hell! We loved working with her.

the conversation, Charmaine was energetic, kind, and so creative! I had zero vision of what I wanted except one type of flower and my colors. She goes through what your day and venue looks like (which she has probably done a wedding or event there before). After our first meeting, she had detailed ideas of how to decorate the church and reception. She is amazing at working within your budget as well. This isn’t even the most amazing part about Charmaine. She came in and without me needing to lift a finger transformed everything perfectly!! I was stunned into silence looking at her beautiful work. I also decided to rent center pieces from her which was amazing the day after for clean up. Her team does all of that so you don’t have to. She accented my day so perfectly and is such an amazing person to work with. I HIGHLY recommend her for any event and especially weddings!!!

I was recently married and had the absolute best time with Charmaine and her wonderful group. I didn’t have a set vision in mind when I first met with her and she created a vision ...
of a fairy tale for us. She also set up a workshop for my close family and friends at her shop a few days before the wedding so we could do the centerpieces ourselves and everyone had a great time! It was such a nice touch having people I love help to make them and it created a lovely memory. Her and her team completely transformed our venue and we were blown away by how it turned out in the end. She went above and beyond for us, and she helped us with details we wouldn’t have even thought of ourselves. She knows the industry so well, and she truly has a special touch. I would give her 10 stars if I could. I am so thankful for her help making our wedding that much more special.

If you take away anything from this review: stop your florist search and HIRE CHARMAINE. I interviewed 10+ local florists and Charmaine was by far the best, and she absolutely went...
above and beyond for my wedding.
Seriously, I can’t say enough great things about working with Charmaine for my wedding. Charmaine was an amazing partner from day one of working together and she helped my wedding vision come true. She has an UNMATCHED attention to detail and she was literally obsessed with getting it right. Not to mention, she is also hilarious and is so fun to work with. As far as decor goes, my wedding day was completely stress-free as I knew that if Charmaine (and her son, who is also AWESOME) were on it, they would make sure everything was done perfectly. She seriously went above and beyond and even made sure my reception tables were positioned perfectly and everything was set up perfectly. Most florists just drop off the items and hope the venue sets it up correctly, but not Charmaine. She was there hours early to make sure everything was literally perfect. I didn’t even double check anything or worry about my decor at all on my wedding day because I trusted her 100% after working with her over the months and weeks leading up to my wedding. Thanks to Charmaine, I didn’t have to hire any other vendors for decor, she pretty much handled everything from the flowers (of course) to other details like card, box, tables, signs, table runners, etc..
Throughout the whole planning process, she was extremely communicative and was able to answer my calls and texts super quickly, and give me advice on not only just flowers but other aspects of my wedding in general. I had interviewed other florists in the area and they did not bring even an ounce of the excitement and commitment that Charmaine does. Like I said earlier, she was a true partner and I felt like she was personally invested in my wedding being amazing. Another great thing about Charmaine is that she only works on weddings so you won’t find that she’s busy with other things like Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, etc. Her commitment to her clients is incredible and she was the best vendor on my team by far.
I’m so grateful that I got to work with Charmaine, and she made a HUGE difference in reducing stress leading up to my wedding and on the day itself. If you want a true partner who will understand your wedding day vision and work with you to make it happen, Charmaine is your best choice.
THANK YOU CHARMAINE!!

We got 3 gorgeous bouquets and matching boutanires for the guys, which I wasn't planning on originally until I was told the price. There was a small mixup on the pick up day, which was 100% my fault because I didn't write it down. She was so understanding and she made sure we got the flowers the day of the ceremony without issues so that they were in perfect condition. She went above and beyond what I expected. I highly recommend Affections Floral Desing without hesitation!

ng of years with personal tragedy to the bride and a global pandemic that forced cancellation of the 1st wedding date and then the re-schedule and then dealing with all the restrictions and obstacles that came along the way, Charmaine took it in stride and delivered floral arrangements that far exceeded our expectations! They were just exquisite and we can’t say enough to the professionalism and genuine care that Charmaine and her team provided to us. She is a rare find and a true botanical artist!

My now-husband (yay!) and I got married on 9/12/2020 at Hotel Utica. I actually found Affections from a fellow bride after I attended her wedding and was just in love with her flow...
ers/decor. Char was the sweetest vendor to work with & despite the ever-changing planning process we experienced during the pandemic she was always flexible and accommodating — just a quick text or email away at all times. From the initial visit with Char & Josh where we sat for almost 2 hours to figure out what the heck it was I wanted (not knowing the different types of flowers or greenery!) to the final walk through our venue the week before our wedding — I felt at ease knowing that with Affections on my team I knew they would make the night beautiful... and it truly was! We used their team for our ceremony space, draping, centerpieces, bouquets/bouts and beyond — everything the team touched with flowers and greenery transformed the space. Pricing is definitely reasonable for the quality of work they provide. I would highly recommend Affections!! Thank you so much!! Xoxo

Char and her team prepared the flowers for our wedding in June. I was planning from a distance, so had one call with Char, sent her some inspiration photos, and the price was right...
so we hired her! When we met up a month before the wedding, we learned she was doing 5 weddings on our weekend and I thought she was a little crazy, but her work is incredible! She is so talented and truly brought my vision to life (cliche, I know, but true). I was so nervous about not being there on the morning of while all the decor and details were being set up - but when I walked in prior to the ceremony, it was beyond my expectations! I wish I could post photos here because her work absolutely speaks for itself! Thank you Char for everything you did for us 💛 XO Chelsea & Mitch
