Absolutely perfect

Kirstin at Persimmon Petals is truly extraordinary. From the moment I saw our wedding flowers, I was completely blown away — they were absolutely beautiful and somehow even better than I had imagined. Every detail felt intentional, thoughtful, and perfectly aligned with our vision.

And the marigolds — I still can’t get over them. They were a surprise, and when I saw them my heart genuinely stopped. It was such a meaningful, personal touch that made the entire day feel even more special.

Our florals photographed like a dream, and now that we have our professional photos back, I’m even more in awe of Kirstin’s work. I’m currently attempting to dry my bouquet because I simply can’t let it go — and I’ve already told my husband that he may need to get me flowers from Persimmon Petals every anniversary so I can relive just how exquisite they were.

If you’re looking for a florist who is talented, creative, and deeply invested in making your day unforgettable, Kirstin is it. She didn’t just provide flowers — she elevated our wedding and made it magical. I cannot recommend Persimmon Petals highly enough.

Best Flowers and A Cause

My flowers from Persimmon Petals were a dream! I didn't really know what I wanted but just had an idea and Kirsten just went with it. She showed me so many different options and things that were in season to keep the cost down. Also what I loved is that 100% of the profits go to the YWCA in Hartford. They are helping people and creating gorgeous flower arrangements. If I am in the Hartford area I am only using them

It was really great working with Kirstin to create my wedding bouquet and husband's boutonniere. I told her exactly what my color palette was and she delivered!! The flowers were delivered on time and they looked fresh and beautiful. Thank you for being apart of our big day.

Incredible to work with!

Persimmon Petals has an incredible attention to detail and was incredibly thoughtful throughout the process of designing my bouquets! Even though I only needed a couple of bouquets, they took a great deal of care and time in creating a bouquet that met my needs (more hypoallergenic and including autumn colors). I would highly recommend Persimmon Petals to anyone looking for a florist! They were incredible to work with!

Amazing work for your flowers on the BIG day!

Kirstin was awesome and very talented in what she does. I got her business card from The society room in Hartford and tried her out. Told her about what I was looking for in my budget. She was listening and talked me through the options and everything came out wonderful and beyond what I could ask for.
On the day of the wedding she showed up right on time and proceeded to display her work beautifully and in very professional fashion! 10 out of 10 would highly recommend her to ever bride out there!😍🙌😘
