    Wonderful Flowers and Wonderful Experience!

    Ariel was amazing to work with! We planned and replanned our wedding 3 times during covid and she was SO flexible! It was such a relief because not all vendors were so gracious during the difficult times. The flowers were OUTSTANDING. SO SO gorgeous. And Ariel went above and beyond to lend us gold stands to set the arrangement on, as well as hanging globes for our centerpieces. She originally gave me a discount because it was going to be at a venue that she partners with. We changed locations due to covid and she still gave me the same discount. Not to mention that I think her pricing was really reasonable to begin with. She is a very kind, wonderful vendor to work with and you should 100% hire her for your wedding or any florist needs you have!

    Beautiful flowers but also so helpful and organized!

    Not only were our flowers and arrangements absolutely beautiful for our wedding, Ariel was so organized and easy to work with. She created exactly what we described and helped us brainstorm creative ways to bring our vision to life. She was so prompt in replying to questions and concerns. We highly recommend Ariel.

    Ariel is amazing! She was so incredibly helpful with ideas and suggestions beyond our flowers and she made my vision come to life with my bouquet! I cried when she delivered the flowers and I feel as if I gained a friend!

    Chris was great to work with. We had an initial visit with her and gave her some ideas and then about a month out gave her pictures and specifics. Chris provided the best floral arrangements I could have ever asked for and the quality was great. She was very accommodating with set up and pickup and was always easy to get in touch with.

    Chris is absolutely amazing at what she does! She gave me everything I asked for and more (and I was quite picky about what I wanted)! Our wedding was even more beautiful because of the flowers Chris gave us. We have gotten compliment after compliment about how gorgeous they were and I could not have been happier with the outcome. Absolutely worth every penny!! Thank you Chris!

    Chris Page was so wonderful to work with! She is a true professional and made the most amazing flower arrangements I've ever seen. My bouquet was absolutely stunning and we received a million compliments on the flowers and the beautiful backdrop she put together for us behind our wedding party table at the reception. I cannot thank her and her staff enough for making our wedding and reception more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. She also preserved my bouquet and my husband's boutonniere so we can have it displayed and remember the best day of our lives!

    Chris is always the upmost professional. She is very knowlegeable in her field and has great vision. I work with her on several corporate events throughout the year each having a different theme and style. She spends quality time with me to talk through my vision for the event and the deliverables the day of our spectacular. They always are above and beyond what I was thinking and are just perfect. I always receive rave reviews from my attendees.

    Chris at Chinell's is the absolute best florist in Topeka, KS. Her creativity is truly an art and I cannot sing her praises enough. She did our flowers for my wedding on June 13th, 2015 and they were the most beautiful arrangements I have ever seen. She used blush pink peonies and roses with baby's breath that looked perfect with our wedding theme. Chris is so attentive and makes sure that even the smallest touch stands out. She is a wonderful florist and a dear friend and I am eternally grateful for making our wedding so beautiful.

    The flowers were beautiful. Chris is extremely friendly, creative, and professional. Along with doing our flowers, she decorated our whole reception and ceremony. It made it much less stressful for us. We are so glad we went with Chinells.

    I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Chris! She was fantastic. The flowers were so incredibly beautiful and shockingly well-priced.

    Chris had absolutely no problem understanding my vision for the flowers and did she ever come through! Everything was stunning. She took my preferences and style into account to create arrangements that fit perfectly with the tone of the event. The most complimented piece was the flower-covered arbor -- it looked like it was straight out of a bridal magazine. I nearly cried when we had to take it down after the ceremony.

    If you are considering Chinell's for your wedding -- just do it! She will not disappoint.

    I was extremely excited after meeting with Chris from Chinell's! I had a strong vision for my entire wedding, including extremely unique and large center pieces and an elaborate broach bouquet. Not only was she excited to create them, she knew exactly how to accomplish it! She stayed within my budget, while re-creating an unbelievable Pinterest inspired look! When I first saw my bouquet, it brought tears to my eyes. Chris had created something I will be able to keep forever and it was absolutely gorgeous! I still can't believe what she was able to do with all of the different styles of broaches! When I walked into my ceremony and reception rooms, I was amazed. It was even better then what I had envisioned and dreamed! It was PERFECT. I had met with several other florists before Chinell's and no one had the excitement and passion for their work like Chris. She not only was confident she could accomplish my look, but her price was spot on. I never once doubted her ability to complete the project, and am so impressed with her abilities. I still feel very fortunate to have had Chinell's as my florist vendor. She was a HUGE part in perfecting my wedding look, she went above and beyond, and I wouldn't have been able to accomplish it without her. I would recommend her to any Bride with any type of vision and budget. She is truly a pro!

    Chris really brought my wedding dreams to life! The bouquets were better than I could've imagined and our centerpieces were so beautiful. Guests were asking if they could take the centerpieces home! She was easy to work with, very flexible, worked with us on finding florals that were within our price range.

    I absolutely LOVED my flowers!! I had roses, star gazer lilies and hydrangea. The flowers looked beautiful on our cake and in everyone's bouquets. She was very detail oriented and didn't miss a single thing! She didn't even mind when I decided a few days before the wedding that I needed a couple more corsages!

    The BEST florist in the midwest! Chris was great with my wedding and when I had no idea what kind of centerpieces I wanted, she helped me with it! Everything looked great from the centerpieces to the bouquets!

    Working with Chris was really easy. We told her a little about us, what we envisioned for our big day, and showed her a few Pinterest photos that I had really liked. Based on our conversation and the photos I showed her, she recommend a few types of flowers that would be in season and typically cheaper that matched our vision. I left our visit with her feeling very comfortable with her and her price point.

    When she delivered the flowers to the hotel, I was absolutely ecstatic! The bouquets for the bridesmaids where perfect. Exactly what I had asked for. My bouquet... all I can say is WOW. The Pinterest photo I had showed her was stunningly beautiful, of course I had little bit of a color change request, but it was a Pinterest photo. If you have ever tried to re-create anything from Pinterest and failed, you lean to not expect things to turn out the way they look in the photos. Maybe you get close, but its never quite the same. Chris, is amazing! the flowers were exactly how I had envisioned them to be. She put that pinterest photo to shame.

    Chris was great to work with. She brought the vision of my wedding florals to life with her knowledge and expertise. The flowers were even more beautiful in our photographs than I had realized on our wedding day!
    She was also very accommodating making what I wanted work within our budget. And when one of my centerpiece ideas didn't work out as planned, she went the extra mile to make an alternate idea work.

    Chris is great to work with! She is incredibly flexible and willing to work with you to create beautiful floral arrangements that fit your budget. She also offers very reasonably priced rental pieces if you want to do your own centerpieces, etc. Her assistants delivered and set up our center pieces but she stopped by personally to make sure everything was as it should have been. I don't plan on getting married again, but if I did, I would not hesitate to contract with Chris.

    Chris was great to work with. She did the flowers for my sister's wedding almost 5 years ago and they were beautiful, which is why I selected her. She had already worked with our family and she was more than accommodating working with me for my big day. The flowers were beautiful. Probably the only downfall is having to return the glassware, which adds one more thing to have someone look after, but otherwise she is fantastic to work with and makes beautiful floral creations unique to your style and desire.

    Chris put together the most beautiful flowers for our wedding. They were gorgeous. She was fun to work with and has great ideas. She is a little forgetful however. I had asked for my bouquet to be wrapped specially and it wasn't. I also had several appointments with her where she was usually late or had forgotten. But once she shows up she does whatever you want!

    The flowers were so beautiful! They turned out even better than I expected. The flowers for my cake were amazing! Chris is a great florist and I'm glad we used her. She wasn't the easiest to talk to on the phone. A little scattered at times so it's better to communicate through e-mail. The only problem we had on the day of the wedding was a missing fathers boutineer. In the end I was very pleased though.

    This vendor was not great to work with. The flowers were gorgeous but the service was HORRIBLE they showed up 5 hours early, they expected me to return all of their equipment but didn't tell me until the day of the wedding even though I paid for a delivery fee. They had attitudes and the battery operated lights didn't even work, my photographer had to fix them. LOOK AROUND!
