I cannot say enough wonderful things about Christina as a person, let alone begin to describe her talents as a florist! As impressed as I was with her from the moment I called with my first inquiry, I never expected that ALL of my expectations ...would be surpassed by the finished product.
Christina and I first spoke on the phone to schedule a free consultation. At the appointment a few months later with my mother and sister, we talked for over an hour about my vision for my wedding and I showed her pictures of my color palette. She penciled in the date of my wedding and I took a little time to think things over.
I'm pretty sure that it only took a day before I secured the date with a $500 deposit. After that, Christina and I were in (what seemed like) constant contact, since I had a million questions about a million things. She answered them all!
At our final details meeting, I made some changes to the centerpieces we would be using, and Christina didn't skip a beat! She came up with a beautiful idea right on the spot that absolutely wowed all of our guests at our wedding a few weeks later.
On my wedding day, Christina was at the venue long before I was, setting up our flowers on what would turn out to be one of the hottest August days of 2022. I cannot describe my thoughts when I finally saw everything come together! The flowers were BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL and only became more so as the day went on, despite the heat.
From early on, I had a vision of what I wanted my wedding to look like, and Christina was able to execute that vision and then some. She is an absolute artist and a phenomenal human being! On the way to the venue on my wedding day, my sister (and MOH, who gifted us the flowers) realized she left the check for Christina's final payment at the hotel. She had already mailed two checks which--LITERALLY--got lost in the mail and now...here we were without our final payment. We sent a family friend back to the hotel to retrieve the check in a hurry, but Christina never sweated it. She swore over and over that "it will all work out." And that, it did...in the best way possible!
Despite having her own wedding in the midst of all my planning (and yes, she did her OWN flowers), Christina never failed to return an email or a phone call immediately. I don't know how she managed, but from start to finish, our experience with her was just incredible!
My now-husband and I live a good forty minutes from Passions Florist, so we go to lengths to get to her, but she (and her arrangements) are 100% worth it and I would more than highly recommend!
