Christopher did the florals for my wedding and they were beautiful. We did bud vases across all our tables with peonies, roses, and an assortment of other flowers and they were gorgeous. The florals for our ceremony arbor were perfect and so beautiful! Definitely recommend using Christopher for your wedding!

We chose C.M. Skerritt Designs for our wedding florals, and it was truly the BEST decision we could have made. The flowers were an absolute moment — breathtaking in every way. Chris was incredible to work with from start to finish. I went back and forth in the beginning about what I wanted, but he patiently helped me clarify my vision with thoughtful suggestions and expert advice. From our first conversation, he took the time to understand exactly what I was hoping for, and the final result exceeded every expectation. His work showcased his remarkable attention to detail, seamlessly woven into a stunning overall design. The way our tablescapes flowed, accented with candles, created such a beautiful and romantic atmosphere. Lilacs can be a finicky flower, but he brought my dream arrangements to life so gracefully. Beyond his talent, Chris was simply a joy to work with — his passion for what he does shines through and makes the entire experience even more special.

ctly what I was looking for. He was also extremely flexible, including when I ended up deciding last-minute that I wanted him to deliver the flowers to Peaks Island. When I saw the flowers on the day of and decided that I wanted my bridal bouquet to be a bit smaller, Christopher adjusted the size and made sure that I was completely satisfied. Thank you, Christopher, for making our wedding day so beautiful!

I cannot recommend C.M. Skerritt Designs highly enough! I have ordered gifts through Chris for friends and family several times over the past few years—and his designs are always m...

et with rave reviews. The quality and freshness of the flowers, the design aesthetic, and ease of ordering are always top notch. I had tried many other florists in Portland, Maine previously, and was always disappointed with the experience ... that is, until I found Chris. (I'm also the Director of Marketing for a major luxury florist in another market, so I have exceptionally high standards). When my fiancé and I decided to tie the knot in a small family ceremony in Portland, we chose Chris to design the flowers for our wedding weekend. He seriously made my flower dreams come true!!! We held our rehearsal dinner at Salvage BBQ and his designs perfectly fit the industrial space while making the tables feel warm, welcoming, and festive. And then the day of ... every detail was exceptional. My bouquet and the church flowers were dreamy, and he completely transformed our reception space at Luke's Lobster Portland Pier. It truly could not have been more perfect. He worked within my budget and made the entire communication process seamless. I love looking at the photos from our wedding and admiring the details of his floral designs. Every engaged couple in Maine needs to know to use C.M Skerritt Designs! Seriously. He's amazing.

Chris is AMAZING! In every single way. I, like many others, am a Covid bride. I’ve planned, and replanned my wedding more times than I can count. Chris was always a constant in the...

process. He was always there to support my now husband and I in every way we needed. From the beginning, he was willing to work with us with the budget we had, and made recommendations for us based on our budget and style. My wedding turned out truly incredible and I owe so much of that to him. From my stunning bouquet filled with mixed greenery, ivory roses, pine cones, and white lisianthus, to my bridesmaids bouquets, the boutonnières, the centerpieces (white lanterns with greenery and pine cones), and lastly our FIREPLACE was seriously a dream come true. We can’t thank him enough for all that he did for us and for making our day so memorable for us. Not only were we blown away by his work, but our venue went out of their way to tell me how talented he was and that their fireplace reached a new level of beauty! Highly recommend him to ALL couples. I can’t wait to use him for future events.

Our wedding florals were exactly what I had pictured! We hired Chris from CM Skerritt Designs for our September Wedding at William Allen Farm with 150 guests. I really wanted to in...

corporate white and blue hydrangeas because they have a direct connection to my family, but also wanted to add color somehow. Chris recommended that the bridal party have colorful bouquets, but keep the inside of the venue classic blue and white flowers. The combination came out absolutely beautiful! In addition, he provided ceremony pieces, bud vases, greenery, and boutonnieres. All of the flowers were so fresh and beautiful that they filled my parent’s house for weeks after the event while we were on our honeymoon! In addition, Chris is super chill in his approach to working with brides. He really just wants to reassure you that everything is taken care of! I never worried about my flowers at all and I would highly recommend Chris for your wedding or special event.

Chris is absolutely amazing! I knew that I wanted lots of greenery and whites but couldn't picture exactly what this would look like since I know next to nothing about flowers. But...

honestly I couldn't have even imagined how beautiful these flowers would be. Chris is SO easy to work with, comes up with ideas to run by you AND puts everything together so perfectly. He went above and beyond in making my wedding dreams come true with his floral arrangements. THANK YOU CHRIS!

Chris of C.M.Skerritt Designs was absolutely amazing. He was easy to work with from day one. He was responsive and understood our wedding floral vision before we even did. We told ...

him that we wanted red wine colored flowers, greenery, and some white and light pink flowers as well. We used black lanterns as our centerpieces, and Chris made the floral "wreaths" that went around them. The centerpieces, bouquets, and boutenirs were just so stunning. He also supplied flowers to have placed on our cake, and it just pulled all of the decor in the reception together. Chris was on time the day of the wedding, and we never had to worry for a second about anything. We highly recommend this highly-skilled florist for any of your needs - from one simple vase of flowers to an entire wedding!
