    Absolute perfection

    I cannot stop thinking about our flower arrangements - Boy did Christina deliver! Christina was so helpful throughout the process; with early conversations about our vision, she quickly picked up the colors and style we wanted in which the bright florals would be showcased against neutral wedding party attire. Christina helped identify varieties to incorporate and put together proposal that matched the vision. She realistic with our budget and provided helpful insights into what she had seen work well at our venue Lake Bomoseen Lodge. On the day, the bouquets took my breath away, the arbor was out of this world and Christina and Cindy decorated the reception space with greenery and the centerpieces to absolute perfection. I cannot thank them enough. (Florals photographed by Juniper Studios)

    Beautiful flowers and so fun to work with!

    Christina was amazing to work with! She did our center pieces, the arbor, and bouquets for us and they all turned out beautifully. Christina amazed us with how hard she worked to stay within our budget and made everything even more beautiful than we had ever imagined possible. She also hand delivered my bouquet to my parents house the morning of the wedding! I highly recommend working with her for your wedding - she is very knowledgeable, passionate, and fun to work with!

    A Blooming Affair's reply:

    Thank you Jess! You and your Mom were so much fun to get to know and work with! It was our pleasure to be your florist.

    She got me

    I know nothing about flowers and had no clue what I wanted other than simple and as little as possible. Not once did Christina question me or make me feel like a fool for not knowing anything. She simply guided me, asked questions, showed me pictures, and very quickly picked up on my vibe. Everything turned out beautifully. It rained on my wedding, and my bouquet get a little wet during photos. It held up no problem and the rain droplets that gathered on it were simply gorgeous.

    A Blooming Affair's reply:

    Kelly, it was such a pleasure working with you and your Mom. I'm so glad your day was everything you hoped it would be. Thank you for the beautiful photo's and opportunity to be your florist.

    Best Florist Ever!

    A Blooming Affair was one of my favorite vendors we got to work with for our big day. They produce absolutely STUNNING florals and completely brought my vision to life. The best thing about working with Christina & Cindy is how NICE, caring, and real they are. I knew on my very first consultation call with Christina that I wanted to work with them. She was so fun and full of energy. She took the time to get to know us - like really actually CARED to get to know us and our story (not all vendors do this) - to understand our vision, and flawlessly executed on that all while understanding our budget. She was amazingly creative, accommodating & offered alternative suggestions when we hit little road bumps along the way. They even helped me assemble my seating chart day of when the wind wanted to take it away, which was FAR outside their contracted duties.
    Thank you, A Blooming Affair for making our day and our florals BEAUTIFUL! Highly, highly recommend!!! (Photos by @Gold Wing Photography)

    Wonderful experience and beautiful flowers

    We had a great experience with A Blooming Affair! From the start, Christina was so responsive and truly went above and beyond. Before we signed a contract she jumped on the phone with me for an hour to talk through my vision, explain her process, and just get to know me. It was clear from the start that she got what I was looking for, and on top of that she was just so nice and lovely to chat with that I knew I wanted to hire her immediately.

    During the planning process Christina met with my husband and I at her floral supplier to look through everything in person, so we got to see everything as Christina talked through her ideas and plans. It also allowed us to point out certain flowers we wanted to be a part of our arrangements, which was great.

    Ok so the flowers! WOW were they spectacular. She used all the ones wee requested, and just pulled everything together really well - we were so happy with the result. We also received a ton of compliments on our arbor and bouquets from our guests. I’m so happy we discovered A Blooming Affair - thank you Christina and team for filling our wedding day with the most beautiful flowers! (photos by Jackie Fox Photography)

    A Blooming Affair's reply:

    You are so sweet! Your excitement was contagious on your wedding day. All of your family and friends were so happy to be there and share your special day. Thank you for the photos!

    Best,
    Christina

    Best Vendor Experience Hands Down

    Christina is absolutely incredible, she is one of the most flexible, friendly, accommodating vendors that I have ever met. She wanted to understand who me and my fiance were to meet our floral vision and took so much time to understand and try to meet our needs within our budget. I would highly recommend her for your day!

    Just beautiful • Above and beyond

    Christina’s work for my wedding was stunning, magical, and perfect in every way. Everything she did was breathtaking. I had a hard time putting into words exactly what I wanted but she was patient, asked all the right questions and made the vision in my head come to life on our wedding day. She was incredible to work with and very conscious of our budget. She is an expert in her field and is amazing at what she does. She went above and beyond our expectations. I cannot thank her and her team enough. I highly recommend A Blooming Affair.

    Amazing experience with Christina at Blooming Affair

    Christina was incredible to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process! She understood my vision but also gave welcome advice and guidance. The day of the wedding, she went above and beyond to ensure the venue had the flowers and vibe Christina knew we wanted. I would highly recommend A Blooming Affair for your wedding. I will miss working with Christina now that our wedding is over!

    A Blooming Affair's reply:

    Thank you Cassie,

    The best florist and experience!!

    From the first phone call with Christina, I knew I wanted her involved with my wedding. Her passion for weddings and flowers helped me make my decision immediately. She was always available for my long phones calls and had the best ideas to make my vision a reality. The flowers and decorations were absolutely beautiful. I remember walking down the aisle and gasping at how beautiful the arch was. It was my complete vision. She was respectful of my budget and would help suggest decorations and flowers that would keep me from going over my budget. I was so happy with Christina and 100% recommend her to other brides for their wedding! She was the best and I miss the days of picking out flowers with Christina!!

    Our Dream Flowers

    We can't say enough about our experience with Christina and a Blooming Affair. We had vague ideas of what we wanted for flowers and she was able to take them and bring them to life so flawlessly. She worked with us to get the very most out of our budget, and was so accommodating to our schedule. The flowers and decor that we ended up with was an absolute dream and we can't recommend Christina enough to other couples!

    Simply amazing!

    I don’t even know where to start — Christina was absolutely incredible! Everyone at the wedding raved about how stunning our flowers were. From the arch, the aisle, the centerpieces, corsages and boutonnières — to the flower crowns for our flower girls, everything was EXACTLY how I pictured it. Christina saved the day after I had a mishap with my original centerpieces (from a different florist in NY whose deposit we had to use as we had originally booked a NY wedding before covid). She completely changed his centerpieces for me ONE day before the wedding into the exact vision I had (literally magical!). She was so communicative throughout the entire process and she knew exactly what I wanted and went out of her way to make sure it happened. Forever grateful for you, Christina! 100000% would recommend A Blooming Affair. Thank you again!!!

    A Blooming Affair's reply:

    Jack, You were so kind and always kept your chin up. I'm so glad you finally got to relax and enjoy your special day. We loved working with you as well.

    Best,
    Christina

    Beautiful florals, wonderful experience

    Christina was wonderful to work with and truly understood my vision for our wedding florals. The centerpieces were classy and elegant and the florals for the gazebo/ceremony were gorgeous. With COVID, Christina and I sadly never met however it only took a few phone calls for me to feel confident that she understood my vision and also our budget and she truly worked wonders with that information. I am so grateful for her beautiful creative work. Thank you Christina!

    A Blooming Affair's reply:

    Thank you Carly! I was sad we never got to meet as well after corresponding for over 2 years. I'm so thrilled you finally got to celebrate with family and friends. Thank you for sharing the beautiful photo's.

    I got married in October during COVID times and Christina did a beautiful job with my flowers and set up arrangements in my reception and ceremony area. It was just what I had imagined! Would highly recommend!

    Fantastic!

    Working with Christina was so great! As someone who initially really didn't know what to articulate about flowers I wanted for my wedding besides "umm... look nice?", Christina was very patient with me and asked a lot of questions to figure out a style for the day that reflected our personalities and included a collection of flowers that I genuinely loved. She was very sensitive to figuring out something that worked within my budget as well, which was super appreciated among all the other wedding costs to factor in (and my general lack of knowledge about buying flowers!). The flowers for the wedding party and all the tables looked gorgeous, and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

    A Blooming Affair's reply:

    Thank you Meg, you were truly a joy to get to know and work with. We truly enjoyed being a part of your special day.

    Best,
    Christina

    I will never regret choosing A Blooming Affair

    Christina was amazing. She excels at making her client feel like they are the only bride she is working with. I have a hard time making decisions and she was able to figure out what I really wanted based on my reactions and expressions. She was never forceful despite my lack of decisiveness and was very flexible. The flowers were absolutely beautiful and beyond anything I could imagine. I HIGHLY recommend A Blooming Affair and cannot describe how amazing Christina is in words. She was one of the few parts of planning that decreased my stress level. She is a beautiful human inside and out and her work represents that.

    Emillie,
    I can’t thank you enough for your thoughtful words. It was a beautiful day one that we also enjoyed being a part of. We had a great time bringing your vision to life.

    Best,
    Christina and Cindy

    Gorgeous flowers!

    From the very first time I spoke with Christina I not only knew I wanted to be her best friend (not kidding she's hysterical, so nice and down to earth) but that she needed to do my flowers! She knew what I was thinking before I could even say it, at least articulate it. She is so passionate and informative about flowers and decor, which is a great help to someone like me who has no idea about flowers. I can maybe name five different types and go purely on color and how they look at that time. She was able to take my vision and broaden to flowers that were in season and better matching my color palette. Not only that but she was able to help with renting other items for our head table and decor throughout our event space. She works very closely with our reception location, the Old Lantern, which helped guide our decisions. She even made our flower girls pussywillow crowns! Better yet, she somehow stayed completely within our budget, pure miracle worker! I knew I could leave my wedding flowers and decor vision in her more than capable hands, since I didn't really know what I wasn't doing. And I couldn't be more overjoyed with the outcome! The only thing I regret was I didn't plan on space to bring back my gorgeous flowers home and the car was already over packed. Christina you have created a new lover of flowers and desire to know more than their color! Seriously, look no further for the best florist!

    A Blooming Affair's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words. You were a delight to work with. Thank you the privilege of being your florist.
    Best,
    Christina

    A Blooming Affair is fun, creative and lovely to work with plus all at a reasonable cost.

    As Mother of the Bride, I needed a florist who was easy to work with, responsive and creative plus willing to work with my daughter's vision and mine. A Blooming Affair is not just your typical florist, they created a dreamlike day for my daughter and myself. My friends and family still talk about the beautiful, huge arch above the church doors. And all at a reasonable cost. Christina Safford is a genius when is comes to floral arrangements.

    Flowers were beyond our expectations!

    A Blooming Affair provided the flowers for our daughter's wedding and they were breathtaking. Christina is easy to work with, and offered suggestions for flowers that would last (and not break the bank) and give my daughter the look she was going for. The flower arrangements and decorated trellis were so beautiful and exceeded our expectations!

    A Blooming Affair - FANTASTIC!!

    I cannot recommend Christina or A Blooming Affair more. We still receive compliments on how beautiful our flowers were! On our wedding day it was 97 degrees out and our flowers still looked stunning by the end of the night. You will not regret your decision to work with Christina - trust me!
