Affections Floral Design

bouquets, keep looking—because Affections is in a completely different tier. They don't just arrange flowers; they create an entire immersive atmosphere. From our very first consultation, Charmaine took the time to truly get to know me, my style, and my wedding vision. I had a lot of scattered ideas, but she was able to instantly translate them into a cohesive, breathtaking design. Her knowledge of seasonal flowers, color palettes, and structural event design is completely unmatched.

res and she multiplied my vision by 10. We still can’t get over the florals. Such an amazing delivery and great with communication since day one. We absolutely loved to work with her team. 

s fell short of our expectations, but the combination of poor communication, inconsistent commitments, lack of personal involvement from the owner, and pricing that did not feel justified by the final service. We would strongly encourage couples to carefully consider these issues and NOT choose to work with them. 1. Very poor communication: Before booking, Charmine, the owner of the business presented herself as experienced, passionate about her work, and encouraged us to reach out with questions. After we paid our deposit, however, she repeatedly ignored our messages and told us she was too busy to respond for two weeks, despite our wedding being only about a month away. 2. Inconsistent commitments: The contract required us to finalize the arrangements 30 days before our wedding. When we contacted Charmine with questions in early July, she told us she was too busy and could only respond after two weeks—which would have left us only two days before the contractual deadline to finalize everything. We therefore asked whether she could extend the deadline, and she agreed to extend it by 15 days. However, after she contacted us three days before the original deadline, she later reversed that agreement and claimed that the extension was no longer applicable simply because she had been able to contact us before the original deadline. When we reminded her of the extension she had explicitly agreed to, she refused to honor it and characterized our concerns as being "confrontational." 3. Lack of accountability and communication: Charmine repeatedly focused on defending herself rather than addressing our specific questions and concerns. For example, we contacted her three separate times regarding a change to the arch decorations, but received no response. After the two-week period during which she had said she was unavailable, she finally contacted us but appeared unaware of the change we had requested. Rather than acknowledging that our messages had gone unanswered, she blamed us for expecting her to show us the previous design, which was not what we had asked for. She also described her work as "art," which felt particularly ironic given that she did not personally appear at our wedding at all. We had expected to work with the person who had presented us with her experience, expertise, and creative vision, yet she was completely absent on the wedding day. 4. Pricing did not match the service received: Some services felt significantly overpriced relative to what was actually delivered. For example, we were charged $2.50 per flower cone, yet the cones prepared by her team ultimately contained only about five plain white flower petals each. 5. Credit to the on-site staff: We do want to acknowledge that the staff who actually came to our wedding were responsive, professional, and receptive to our feedback. When we pointed out issues, they made some changes immediately. We appreciate their efforts, even though several of the floral decorations were still not satisfactory. However, to our surprise, Charmaine still tried to contact us during our honeymoon complaining about us asking the staff to help moving some of the decorations, which should be their job. Honestly unbelieveable…

it to life in a way that exceeded every expectation I had. Every time I found myself wondering, “How are we going to make this work?” Charmaine already had a solution. Her creativity, talent, attention to detail, and calm presence made the entire process so enjoyable. The flowers were absolutely breathtaking, and I can’t tell you how many compliments we received from our guests. Everyone kept saying how beautiful and amazing the arrangements were, and I couldn’t agree more. Not only is Charmaine incredibly talented, but she is also an absolute joy to work with. She truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to create something special and unforgettable. I would recommend her time and time again. Thank you, Charmaine, for making our wedding day so beautiful and for bringing my dream to life!
