Beth B. Sent on 11/24/2023Stress-free wedding decor - thank you charmaine!
If you take away anything from this review: stop your florist search and HIRE CHARMAINE. I interviewed 10+ local florists and Charmaine was by far the best, and she absolutely went above and beyond for my wedding.
Seriously, I can’t say enough great things about working with Charmaine for my wedding. Charmaine was an amazing partner from day one of working together and she helped my wedding vision come true. She has an UNMATCHED attention to detail and she was literally obsessed with getting it right. Not to mention, she is also hilarious and is so fun to work with. As far as decor goes, my wedding day was completely stress-free as I knew that if Charmaine (and her son, who is also AWESOME) were on it, they would make sure everything was done perfectly. She seriously went above and beyond and even made sure my reception tables were positioned perfectly and everything was set up perfectly. Most florists just drop off the items and hope the venue sets it up correctly, but not Charmaine. She was there hours early to make sure everything was literally perfect. I didn’t even double check anything or worry about my decor at all on my wedding day because I trusted her 100% after working with her over the months and weeks leading up to my wedding.
Thanks to Charmaine, I didn’t have to hire any other vendors for decor, she pretty much handled everything from the flowers (of course) to other details like card, box, tables, signs, table runners, etc.. Throughout the whole planning process, she was extremely communicative and was able to answer my calls and texts super quickly, and give me advice on not only just flowers but other aspects of my wedding in general. I had interviewed other florists in the area and they did not bring even an ounce of the excitement and commitment that Charmaine does.
Like I said earlier, she was a true partner and I felt like she was personally invested in my wedding being amazing. Another great thing about Charmaine is that she only works on weddings so you won’t find that she’s busy with other things like Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, etc. Her commitment to her clients is incredible and she was the best vendor on my team by far.
I’m so grateful that I got to work with Charmaine, and she made a HUGE difference in reducing stress leading up to my wedding and on the day itself. If you want a true partner who will understand your wedding day vision and work with you to make it happen, Charmaine is your best choice.
THANK YOU CHARMAINE! -

Shannon D. Sent on 10/11/2023Beautiful 10/10 and Very Happy Bride!
Charmaine was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is a true artist and went above and beyond to make my decor/florals magical. She listens to what you want but will suggest things to make it even better. She has so many items available for rent so I would make the trip to see her. She is extremely professional and responsive! You can tell she loves what she does and it shows in her work. I am so happy and would recommend her to any of my friends and family!
For those of you needing day-of coordination she also has that! 10/10 would recommend if you want peace of mind getting from place to place and help repurposing some of your flowers from ceremony to reception. -

Charmaine is a MUST hire!
I can’t recommend Charmaine enough! She was a pleasure to work with and made the whole process extremely easy and stress free. She responded immediately to all of my emails, text messages as well as provided photos and options for all of my requests. She happily met with us to get a vision of what we wanted for our wedding and was able to take into consideration both my budget and my vision. I couldn’t have asked for more beautiful flowers. They were even more beautiful than I could have imagined. You MUST hire Charmaine! -

Charmaine was a pleasure to work with and was I very lucky to have found her. The flowers were amazing and colors were perfect. Just give her some ideas and pictures, she will make it all happen. She loves what she does and it comes through with her work. Very quick to respond, has great ideas on how to add or improve on your vision to elevate it and has decorations that you can rent which came in handy. Would highly recommend her! -

We knew once we started working with Charmaine we knew that our wedding flowers were going to be stunning but we never expected how breathtakingly gorgeous it was going to be. Every tiny detail was covered and every space was touched and transformed. Our venue, Hayloft on the Arch, was like something out of a magazine. We told Char what we wanted and she ran with her ideas and creativity and delivered beyond our expectations. Char was extremely easy to work with and will recommend everyone I know to her and hope to work with her again in some way in the future. She is the best and her work is out of this world. There is no one better.Affections Floral Design & Event Planning's reply:
Thank you so much - I loved everything about your wedding❤️. It was wonderful to be part of your special day ~ -

CHARMAINE 👏🏼 IS 👏🏼 THE 👏🏼 BEST 👏🏼
I could not recommend Affections Floral Design (Charmaine) enough! For one she did an INCREDIBLE job with our all of our florals for our wedding day! I knew literally nothing about flowers when I first met with her and she was so helpful in helping me create a vision for our big day. She really does care about her brides so much and will do anything for you. I knew I could count on her for anything. She always got back to me right away with any questions I had. Do yourself a favor, make your wedding day easier and hire Charmaine, you certainly will not regret it!! -

Charmaine was the best and easiest vendor to work with! She brought my life long wedding vision to life so beautifully and is extremely talented. Her flexibility and desire to do everything she can to make the bride and groom pleased is extraordinary. All our wedding guests could not believe how beautiful the venue decorations looked as we also got a lot of decorative pieces from Charmaine! Her team was amazing and set everything up perfectly on time. Her talent went beyond what my wishes were and I truly was BLOWN away. If I ever need florals again it will be with Charmaine. Not to mention, she is so sweet and fun to talk to!! I can't recommend her enough!!!Affections Floral Design & Event Planning's reply:

Finally being able to do weddings and have weddings- being able to watch all my girls dreams come true!!!

Char literally was my fairy godmother at my wedding. Not only did she *seamlessly* transfer my wedding date after COVID pushed us to reschedule, she took every idea I had in my head and made it come to life. She always answered any question or change I had immediately and, quite literally, gave me the WOW factor that I was so excited for upon arrival to the venue. I literally walked in and my jaw dropped!
If you're looking for a florist that will take any and all weight off of your shoulders on your wedding day, HIRE CHAR. Do yourself the favor! Cannot recommend her and her beautiful work enough!Affections Floral Design & Event Planning's reply:
Thank you thank you - I absolutely loved every minute of working with you. Planning during Covid was so hard for everyone. Changing dates and rules, along with just the uncertainty of what was going to happen. I am so happy everything came together and you were happy. -

Jennifer D. Matron Honor, White-Tice Wedding
The MOST beautiful flowers I’ve ever seen!! The colors were so brilliant and so vibrant it was shocking! Charmaine was so attentive and so accommodating during the most challenging of years with personal tragedy to the bride and a global pandemic that forced cancellation of the 1st wedding date and then the re-schedule and then dealing with all the restrictions and obstacles that came along the way, Charmaine took it in stride and delivered floral arrangements that far exceeded our expectations! They were just exquisite and we can’t say enough to the professionalism and genuine care that Charmaine and her team provided to us. She is a rare find and a true botanical artist! -

Charmaine helped make our day perfect, despite having to re-plan due to the pandemic. She even drove our flowers from NY to MA (where we moved our wedding) and brought our vision to life for our big day. Highly recommend! -

Kristen B. Sent on 08/24/2021Stunning flowers and great service!
Char and Affections Floral Design were amazing. We initially booked for our 2020 wedding that unfortunately had to be postponed to 2021. Chat made the transition very easy and was in communication throughout that stressful time. Chat is the type of person that you can tell her job is her passion. She is incredibly knowledgable, creative, motivated and very excited to help her client's vision's come to life. Every floral piece she put together - bouquets, boutonnieres, alter set up, sweetheart table, cake flowers, centerpieces, floral pieces for signs were fantastic. We cannot recommend enough - and we cannot wait to work with her again for other events in the future! -

When first planning our wedding, Char was one of my first vendors I knew I wanted for our big day! She went ABOVE and BEYOND what I had envisioned for our flowers and decor. She has such a talent that is so hard to come by and I cannot stress enough how wonderful she was to work with! She we so quick to respond to anything I needed and wanted. She is really the best of the best- if not *THE BEST*!!!Affections Floral Design & Event Planning's reply:

My now-husband (yay!) and I got married on 9/12/2020 at Hotel Utica. I actually found Affections from a fellow bride after I attended her wedding and was just in love with her flowers/decor. Char was the sweetest vendor to work with & despite the ever-changing planning process we experienced during the pandemic she was always flexible and accommodating — just a quick text or email away at all times. From the initial visit with Char & Josh where we sat for almost 2 hours to figure out what the heck it was I wanted (not knowing the different types of flowers or greenery!) to the final walk through our venue the week before our wedding — I felt at ease knowing that with Affections on my team I knew they would make the night beautiful... and it truly was! We used their team for our ceremony space, draping, centerpieces, bouquets/bouts and beyond — everything the team touched with flowers and greenery transformed the space. Pricing is definitely reasonable for the quality of work they provide. I would highly recommend Affections!! Thank you so much!! Xoxo -

I found Affections Floral Design & Event planning on Instagram. I called and spoke to Josh who brought me in immediately, pre-Covid we only had 4 months to plan. He understood my vision right away and knew exactly what I wanted, adding ideas that only come from experience and being very knowledgeable in the industry. Once Covid hit we tried to do everything to not change our date until realizing we had no other choice. They were unbelievably flexible and understanding the entire way. Making payments, adjusting the invoice and adding/reducing arrangements for our ever changing guest list, it was no problem. Not only were they our florist but turned our home, yard and barn into a dream and even better than we envisioned. We couldn’t have had our day be as perfect without them! -

Absolutely beautiful!
I am beyond grateful that we found Charmaine and her team! I was originally looking for a vendor for ceiling draping only, but ended up using her for the flowers and other decorations as well. I'm so glad I hired them. After that first phone call with Charmaine I felt a sense of relief that I had found someone. She was very personable on the phone and listened to my ideas and brought my vision to life. With everything happening with COVID, she was very accommodating even when we had to change the site of the reception and change our date. The day before the wedding they came to set up the draping, backdrop and work on the flower arrangements. They showed up with a whole trailer full of decorative items and flowers! I was beyond amazed because they went above and beyond my expectations. The day of the wedding I didn't have anyone to set up the tables and place settings I was so worried but Charmaine took care of everything for me! Everything was perfect and gorgeous we received so many compliments! If you are looking for someone to make your vision a reality, or make your venue look stunning, look no further! You will not regret it! Charmaine and her team did an amazing job! -

Charmaine and her team somehow captured my vision (even though I changed my mind a million times!) and truly set the ambiance of our wedding day. No detail was spared; from the bouquets to the photo arch, to the welcome signs and corsages, everything tied together so perfectly! They put pops of floral where no one would even think to put it amd it’s amazing how it completed the entire look. Charmaine and her team will not just listen to what you want, but will also make suggestions, which proves they truly know what they’re talking about. They had never done a wedding at our venue and the way they decorated it was like they had been doing weddings there every weekend for years. Their creativity shined through on our wedding day and I’m so glad we used them as our florist! -

We absolutely loved Affections! Their staff was so sweet, polite, and helpful during the entire experience. It was such a stress relief to not have to worry about the flowers arriving on our wedding day or where they would go. Between their staff and the wedding coordinator, everything turned out absolutely stunning. I had a beautiful wedding, thanks to them!
