Flowers by Kristine

in my house. I didn’t give her much except the theme of the wedding, the colors I wanted, and a couple inspiration photos and she created bouquets, boutonnières, corsages and several different center pieces and decorations more beautiful than I ever could imagine! She really is a true artist with her flowers! Definitely check out her Instagram and you will quickly see what I mean. Thank you Kristine for such adding so much beauty to our day!

had a last-minute change to the design, she came up with a great solution and never lost her cool. Her florals had everyone wowed at the wedding, and my bouquet in particular was truly a work of art. I can't recommend her highly enough!

t date, but only Monday and a time. When i reached back out to clarify and received no response. Monday rolled around and two hours after the time I heard back and she asked to reschedule to the following Monday. She asked for a number and inspiration pictures which I happily sent. The appointment day came and went with no call. I waited over an hour for her to call with no call. Even a day after still no word, apology or acknowledgment. Was very disappointed as I was so excited to hopefully use Kristine but not anymore

ne was able to understand our vision and look we wanted immediately. She had a timeline and itemized list sent out quickly and efficiently. She created a beautiful floral arrangement for our wedding triangle arc and I still get complements on my bridal bouquet. She understood what I wanted and went above my expectations. I would absolutely hire her again for any special event!

! I highly recommend her and her team for any event!

bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquets- they were all gorgeous!! When I first booked Kristine I was SO EXCITED to work with her- our meeting went perfectly and I felt like she was really hearing what I wanted for our wedding and reception for flowers. So then came time to pay her (30 days out from our wedding) she would not respond to my calls or emails, and most of the time her voicemail box was full. The poor communication was disheartening and only got worse after that. I was trying to not be pushy because I understood that she had weddings almost every weekend and was very busy. I had emailed her and called her at least once a week after that with no response. The week of our wedding she still had not gotten back to me. At this point she had still not even known where to drop off the flowers the day of our wedding or seemed like she was even slightly interested in getting paid or doing flowers for our wedding. After I finally contacted her via Instagram message that week, she got back to me. Three days before our wedding my mom drove down that week to pay her (from two hours away), and she said she would meet my mom. 30 minutes before she was supposed to meet my mom she said she couldn’t because she was at urgent care, which is understandable because things happen. However, she said she could meet my mom soon after that, and so my mom waited at her flower design studio for two hours for her to show up. After an hour or so I messaged Kristine again to see what time she would be done at urgent care and got a message from Kristine again that my mom could leave the check in her mailbox, and our flower petal cones (which were made of thin paper) on the ground outside the door. The mailbox was almost stuffed full and looked like it hadn’t been checked in a while and there were boxes of what looked like flowers sitting out in the rain and humidity that whole time as well. The day of the wedding we received our bouquets and boutonnières on time and Kristine was very nice- but she never said anything about the poor communication that happened in the last month and a half before our wedding- she acted like she had no idea it was a problem. At our reception we had a greenery backdrop put up by Kristine that was very pretty, but not as lush as she made it seem like she would do. Also, we were quoted for greenery garland on the head table with flowers throughout, and a few different centerpieces with the same “greenery and flowers throughout” idea. However what we got was greenery and flower petals, with very very few actual flowers. Also, we paid extra for my husband to have his boutonnière different than the groomsmen, and his ended up being exactly like the groomsmen’s. I would rate her less but I did really love my bouquet and the bridesmaids bouquets. And I’ve seen on Instagram that she does beautiful work at other venues. And maybe those couples paid more? We paid $2,882.00 for what we got.

y theme, and I loved the little boutonnieres that she made. She is so creative. I loved it.

t me an e-mail outlining what hear had talked about, with a total cost. When I inquired about the pricing of certain things -twice- (bc you're pretty much locked into the price once you sign her contract) I never heard back from her. I'm extremely disappointed and will be moving on in my search for a florist

a beautiful display for both ceremony and reception within my budget. She went above and beyond by delivering flowers to my cake artist before the wedding, helping my dad pick out pillars for a ceremony arch-way, and returning the pillars to the rental place after the wedding. From the smallest details of boutonnieres to the largest display of a creative and unique archway, Kristine nailed the look I wanted precisely. Her passion for her work is obvious. I would recommend her very highly.

ing them to be. This is not at the fault of the florist, rather I didn't ask enough questions about size. So make sure to ask about size of the flowers and centerpieces. Our bouquets still look great 3 days later and have not really wilted. Overall I am happy with Flowers by Kristine.

the park. All the arrangements were simple and stunning. I got so many compliments and everything went beautifully. Kristine was very easy to work with and did a fantastic job.

ife for my big day. I also rented 12 candelabra pieces for my round tables and she created beautiful, opulent pieces that really went above and beyond my original ideas. She was available every time I called her and helped ease my mind when I was a nervous bride making last minute changes. My reception hall was completely transformed and my guests were stunned. It is obvious that Kristine really loves her job. She is passionate and meticulous. If I had to do it over, I'd include Flowers by Kristine in the planning again. Just AWESOME.

!!! My flowers were perfect! They were exactly what we had talked about and looked even better in real life. I can not express how impressed we were with the flowers and with her. The best part was she was also the cheapier option in town. I would recomend Flower by Kristine to everyone who needs wedding flower and would never use anyone else!

she listened to my ideas and the end result far exceeded my expectations! I could not be happier with how amazing everything turned out!

livered on-time and looked wonderful.

the countless changes I made. I appreciate her hard work and constant positive attitude. It's so nice to work with someone who's just so experienced and has vision. She see's what you see and delivers it. Thank you, Kristine for giving me my dream bouquet and incorporating my grandmother's ring into it. I really appreciate it and it made my wedding day so special! A little old and a little new. Kristine is the person who delivers!

ew personal and unique touches to our flowers as well (such as dried wheat and a Rosary), and Kristine was extremely accommodating and open to delivering exactly what we envisioned while respecting our budget. She is so sweet, friendly and professional. Highly recommend! :)

cost friendly. I would highly recommend her to anyone else getting married in the Champaign-Urbana area!

ry reasonable and everything was perfect! I would highly recommend her to other brides getting married!

n looked with all the centerpieces she helped us design. She was a pleasure to work with through the planning process and was always very responsive with any questions or anything that I contacted her about. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a florist!
