Chris was excellent to work with. Not only did he meet the vision we layed out for our wedding day but he elevated it with his expertise at every step. cmskerrittdesigns is the way to go for all things floral!

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 met 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.

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.

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 incorporate 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 absolutely KILLED my wedding flowers. He did all of my centerpieces, a big arbor piece, flowers lining the aisle, my bouquet, my 7 bridesmaids bouquets and all of the boutonnieres. He hand-delivered all of this on the day of my wedding and set it all up. He understood my vision for my wedding flowers and brought it to life flawlessly. I cannot say enough good things about his talents. If you're in need of a florist for anything, CONTACT CHRIS!!

Christopher created beautiful bouquets, boutonnieres, and centerpieces for our wedding day! Christopher asked thoughtful questions and provided suggestions to ultimately create exactly 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!
