Innovative, Modern, Whimsical Floral Design!

Hiring Christina from Novella Theory Floral was one of the BEST decisions that we made for our August 2023 wedding! For our wedding floral design, we knew that we wanted something non-traditional and modern with a touch of whimsical elements. Christina is a true artist - she was able to take the vision that we described to her and turn it into a comprehensive and cohesive floral design. On the day of our wedding, Christina's floral design exceeded all of my expectations and literally took my breath away. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to invest in floral design, as it truly sets the tone for your wedding. One of the focal points of our Jewish wedding ceremony was the chuppah, which Christina built herself and adorned beautifully. Our guests could not stop talking about it! Working with Christina throughout the entire process was also an absolute joy - she is extremely communicative, detail-oriented, and creative. If you're looking for a floral design that is anything but ordinary, you will not regret hiring Christina from Novella Theory Floral!

Budget Friendly, beautiful flowers

Novella Theory was fantastic! Not only did they stick to my budget, but they were able to do everything I wanted within that budget. They were quick to respond and provided wonderful previews and examples of what they could do with my vision and budget. Great company and would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful, creative, and a great experience

Christina and her team are a dream come true! We hired them for our July wedding in the Columbia River Gorge after interviewing several other floral designers, and couldn't be happier we did. We loved that her design is based on seasonal, local, and sustainable flowers and plants, and that she takes GREAT care and intention when selecting everything (down to the ribbon for bouquets). She was flexible and endlessly creative in designing our installations and personal florals, and we did not once feel like she was trying to up-sell us or take us out of budget (in fact, she worked to make all of the design elements we wanted to stay IN budget). Our venue was EXTREMELY windy and she and her team worked pure magic to make sure everything stayed perfectly in place. The end result was absolutely breathtaking--we got so many compliments and she really hit the nail on the head in terms of the vibe we were going for but could never really put into words. On top of it all, she was incredibly chill to work with, and always professional and responsive.
