Hands down BEST florist!!

If I could give Charmaine and her team at Affections Florals more than five stars, I absolutely would!

From our very first conversation, she understood my vision completely and helped bring 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. Every time I thought there’s no way we can make this happen, she found a solution or created one.

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!

The Best Around!

Charmaine was amazing to work with from start to finish. She completely understood the look I was going for and made it even better than I pictured.

She was easy to communicate with, organized, and made the whole process feel stress-free. I didn’t worry about a thing because I knew she had it handled—she had prior experience at my venue, which was also a huge relief. I knew I was in good hands!

We got so many compliments on our flowers, and looking back at our wedding photos, I’m still obsessed with how everything turned out. Cried seeing the tent! I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better florist and would recommend Charmaine to anyone planning a wedding!

15/10 stars

Affection Florist is so much more than a florist.
Charmaine took the time to truly get to know me, and because of that, she and her incredibly talented team created a wedding that exceeded anything I could have imagined.
They didn't just provide flowers, they created an entire atmosphere. Every detail was breathtaking, from the stunning floral arrangements to the gorgeous décor, chandeliers, sweetheart table, head table, chargers, candles, hurricanes, table numbers, signage, every single detail through the wedding. I genuinely felt like I had stepped into a fairytale.
Throughout the wedding and even days afterward, our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful everything was. I honestly don't know how they pulled it all together, but they are true artists at what they do.
On top of their incredible talent, they were communicative, responsive, organized, and an absolute joy to work with throughout the entire planning process.
My biggest piece of advice: trust Charmaine's vision. She has an incredible eye for design, and giving her the creative freedom to bring our vision to life was one of the best decisions we made.
I would honestly renew my vows just to experience their work again. I cannot recommend Affection Florist highly enough!!

Absolutely amazing!

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Charmaine! From the very beginning, she listened so carefully to my vision and somehow brought it to life even more beautifully than I could have imagined. Every arrangement was absolutely stunning, romantic, and perfectly detailed, it honestly felt like walking into a fairytale.
The bouquets, ceremony flowers, and reception florals completely transformed the space and tied everything together so perfectly. You can tell how much care, creativity, and passion went into every single detail. We received endless compliments from our guests all night long!
Thank you for making our wedding day feel so magical and unforgettable. I will forever be obsessed with our flowers 🤍

Affections review

From the very first conversation I had with Affections Floral Design the communication was warm, responsive and genuinely invested in making our special day beautiful. When I had to postpone due to a medical issue they handled it with such grace and compassion — going above and beyond what was required. Their professionalism and kindness made a difficult situation so much easier. I would not hesitate to work with them in the future and highly recommend Affections Floral Design to anyone planning a special event.

The best luxury florist!

A review for a fickle bride, like myself, who wants to simply trust her vendors. Charmaine took my inspo pics and created something I never could have imagined or asked for. I was so nervous to see a florist about a winter wedding, she immediately got the vision. And she doesn’t stop with just florals, if you need decor- she has it. You don’t have to worry about your florals getting damaged in travel, she designs on site. She works with the space she’s in to make it as magical as it can be. I’m truly blown away, book her before she’s unavailable.

Absolutely Amazing!

From the moment I messaged Charmaine, I knew the experience was going to be stellar. She responded immediately and setup a phone interview. As soon as I spoke with her, there was no question that she not only understood my vision, but had the talent and experience to enhance it further than I could have ever imagined!
She made the process not only simple, but also fun! Watching her brainstorm designs during conversation is just mesmerizing! Her brilliance and talent combined with her professionalism make her the perfect florist for any occasion ... but especially your big day!
Her team is top notch and impressive to watch. Seeing her our vision come to life literally took my breath away! I never had to worry about a single detail on my wedding day because she was so thorough during the planning process. The ceremony space was disassembled and repurposed beautifully in the reception space seamlessly without any interference to cocktail hour.
I cannot give a higher recommendation. Charmaine's work is immaculate. She is brilliant, professional, and mindful of your budget. Most importantly, her work is gorgeous! It was even better than I ever imagined!

Affections Floral Design creates magic!

Working with Charmaine was an amazing experience. She is incredibly talented and taps into her own creativity to take the bride’s vision to a new level. The floral display at our son’s wedding at The Haven exceeded expectations.

Dream Florals

If you are getting married and in search of the perfect florist, look no further. Charmaine and her entire crew are absolutely incredible. Charmaine's attention to detail, artistic talent, kindness, expertise, and love of her work really do shine through in the floral designs she creates. She made our wedding floral dreams come true. Absolute gem based out of Upstate NY but will travel! Truly cannot recommend her enough- and book early! We booked almost two years in advance because of how highly sought after she is.

Florals of My Dreams- And Then Some!

Working with Charmaine & her team was an absolute dream from start to finish. She went above & beyond in every way to make my floral vision come to life- and she truly exceeded every expectation. From our very first conversation, she was professional, responsive, and incredibly detail-oriented. Florals were one of the most important elements of the day for my husband & I, and I could instantly tell they were just as important to her. Her passion, creativity, and generosity with her time & talent were unmatched. She didn't just "do flowers", she transformed our entire venue! I had total confidence in her from the start & was able to fully relax knowing she would put her signature touches & heart into every arrangement. To say she delivered the florals of my dreams is truly an understatement. I cannot recommend Charamine & her team enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
