Perfection of Details

Christine and her team at Barefoot went way above and beyond for our wedding in Santa Cruz. We had several initial inspiration calls and providing some information on the decor, florals, candles, and atmosphere we were aiming to achieve. After those calls, our mockup blew us out of the water. Every single small detail we mentioned was brought to the table. The pieces that we couldn't quite get into words were eloquently executed on.

For the actual wedding day, Christine and her team were extremely professional, and simply executed on our dream wedding vision. No notes, everything went exceptionally well - and we had many guests mention that the decor brought personality of both the bride and groom throughout the event. The level of small details that Christine captured and delivered made our event ours.

Christine and her team are the most amazing and talented wedding and event floral designers I have ever encountered. In my initial meeting, I described the theme I was looking for and Christine was able to perfectly transform my vision. Leading up the wedding, Christine was easy to get ahold of and even reached out to my venue's coordinator to make sure everything would go smoothly for the big day.

Everything was absolutely perfect on the day of my wedding. Christine hand-delivered my bridal bouquet and the bridesmaid bouquets to the bridal suite and made sure we had everything we needed before the ceremony. As we moved down to the ceremony site after pictures, I was blown away by the beautiful arrangements & alter display that Christine and team had put together. The cocktail area and reception hall arrangements were even more breathtaking, and Christine surprised me with a wonderful flower table runner that covered the entire head table.

Every detail was thoughtfully executed and I honestly could not have asked for anything more. I highly recommend Christine Cater!!

Christine was a delight to work with! The flowers were my favorite part of my wedding day! She sought out the most beautiful and perfect flowers imaginable. Everyone was blown away with the presentation. My bouquet was fabulous, the arch was incredible and the centerpieces and mantle presentations were breathtaking. I have several friends getting married this year and the first thing I tell them is "see if Christine Cater is available!!"

I had the most gorgeous flowers at my wedding all thanks to Christine. She was fantastic at taking my ideas and making them a reality. All I had to do was share a few pinterest photos I liked and she made them even more beautiful in person. They were exquisite! My wedding would not have felt so romantic without those flowers. #stellardreamteam

We got married in Big Sur, and our wedding planner Diane recommended that we have Christine do all the floral work. We weren't sure what type of flowers we wanted at the wedding but we did have an idea of the color scheme and the mood we wanted to portray. We gave Christine the palette and talked to her about who we were and what kind of wedding we wanted, and let her take point from there.

It's hard to put into words how beautiful and perfectly she designed all the flowers at the wedding. When I saw the final product (floral arrangements, bouquets, table decorations, dessert table, wedding aisle) I was blown away at how exquisitely she captured our taste and personality. She was creative in her use of colors and types of flowers, and her flowers literally made an already gorgeous venue even more amazing.

She's super fun to work with and worth every penny!

Christine did an AMAZING job on the flowers and decorations at my wedding in Big Sur on 9/7/13. I knew nothing about flowers and Christine somehow helped to create my dream wedding! All of the flowers were beautiful and unique. People are still commenting them! She really listened to what I wanted in terms of colors and theme creating wonderful bouquets and centerpieces. Christine is very professional and you can tell she really puts her heart into every client. She went above and beyond, very impressed!!

I can honestly say that there are no words to describe how impressed I was by the flowers that Christine Cater put together for my wedding at Holman Ranch. They were done with such elegance and class, and all the while keeping with the theme and exactly how I envisioned them to be. She took spaces and truly transformed them. I was complimented on the arrangements all day and cannot wait to see all of the pictures! There was not one detail that was overlooked. I would recommend her services to anyone and feel completely confident in doing so. Her ability to incorporate what we wanted (deer antlers) into some of our arrangements and have them still look so beautiful made our whole wedding theme come alive!

Christine is a true artist! I loved all my floral arrangements for my wedding, and she truly is an amazing vendor to work with :) My caterer recommended Christine to me and I am so glad I got the chance to work with her - our first phone conversation lasted 2 hours! I had the best time talking to her and we totally clicked - she really listened to my wishes and thoughts, asked me all kinds of smart detail questions, and was really amazing to work with. Most of our communication was through email (which she is very prompt with) and I met her assistant Giulia at my walk-though (I liked her a lot too!) On the day of wedding, everything looked AMAZING - I loved my bouquet and everything else they created for me - my purple and white theme was perfectly executed and so lovely - all the flowers were perfect! Christine and her team are so professional, so thoughtful, and you will get wonderful flowers from them - they truly love weddings and know what they are doing!

Christine produces the most beautiful and creative floral arrangements. Whenever I have a client who complains that the florists they've met with aren't listening to them, I encourage them to call Christine. She has an amazing eye and can interpret almost any wish into reality. I have the pleasure of working with her many times are Holman Ranch and would recommend her to any client looking for something unique yet classic.
