Hey guys,

I am about to send my deposit to Christina to secure her for the wedding, but since I haven't gotten a chance to meet her yet, I haven't seen too many pics of her work. If anyone has reviews or pictures to share, please send them my way.

I just want to be sure before I make my final choice.

    She is doing my wedding next weekend. I did meet with her , but really we did 99% of the work together via email( me sending her pictures, etc). She works with a lot of destination brides this way. I'll do a vendor review next week and hopefully tell you she was amazing .

    My bride and I used her, and had the opportunity to met her in person and were very happy with her professionalism, her personality, and most of all, the way the flowers came out! If you can get her, you wont be dissapointed!

    I agree- she gave me exactly what I asked for, for half the cost of the other local companies I checked out.  I (and probably the rest of y'all too) like to work via internet instead of going into the shop so it worked out really well for me. She is super laid back about most things, but day-of she was more on top of things than any other vendor!  (She was telling my "wedding coordinator" how to set up the ceremony space)... wonderful to have around!

    I would love to see pictures as well! Please let me know if y'all have any!! Just wondering - what was your budget for flowers? I'm scared mine will end up being more than the venue & food!

    Holly- my budget is around 1500 and we are getting so much bang for our buck. I ended up booking her, and feel very happy with the decision.

    I have to second and third Christina. She multitasks out of her art studio in Kenner but does her meetings from her home. I got a sneak peek because she designed a bed for us that we recently picked up and drove back home with on the top of our car! We fell in love with her home and furniture designs. Our wedding was so small and indiscrete with décor but she wouldn’t have that. She made us feel like we were the focus even though I knew her computer crashed that week and she was stressing about her brides files. Our wedding was a candelight dream compliments of her. What a surprise! Her friend and son came to clean up the candles and we felt like we got the skinny from them about why she seems to go the extra mile. Reflected in our really cool bed design!! She emailed that week my roses came in the wrong shade but managed to find the right ones. When we went to our room after the reception there was a massive bouquet of the slightly wrong shade of roses (who cared) with a card that said something like “I got a credit for them…passing on the love!” We just loved her easygoing personality and attention to detail . Last I knew she'd lost her photo files but aplaisan may know more than me and she may have recovered them.
    Another thing I remeber from our first emails (when she talked me out of silk flowers) was she was happy to give me the names of other designers she trusted. That might be a good way to go since your stressed.

    What's her email? I'm trying to contact her for some example pictures through my planner (getpolished), but I can't seem to get an email!
