    Such Beautiful Florals that My Wedding is Still Being Talked About

    Kristen was amazing! She worked closely with us about the vibe we wanted, talked about colors and floral ideas. We needed help to iron out our vision, and she was absolutely fabulous in looking at inspo pix and listening to our notes and then coming up with something magical that is still being talked about by those that came to our wedding. I cannot recommend her enough!

    Beautiful Floral Designs!

    From the start Kristen was so helpful in planning every element of our floral design. I sent her a Pintrest page with some ideas but explained that since I didn't know much about flowers that I totally trusted her design choices. She sent us a lot of options of flowers to choose favorites from, and then made many helpful suggestions along the way. Even with all of this, I still was near tears on my wedding day just seeing the incredible flower arrangements Kristen and her husband had created - from the large piece on our arch to the centerpieces to my bouquet. I truly didn't know how beautiful and elegant they would be. The quality is exceptional and Kristen is lovely - highly recommend!

    Amazing Wedding Flower

    I was blown away by Kristen! She did an absolutely beautiful job with our bouquets, boutonnieres, arbor, and centerpieces. She was extremely fun to work with, and her taste is gorgeous. She even decorated an additional archway inside of our venue for behind the sweetheart table. Every time I show my wedding photos, someone praises the florals!

    Amazing flowers!!

    All we had to do was show her some photos of what we liked and she filled in all the details and delivered amazing flowers. One of the easiest vendors to work as she was very professional when it came to finalizing the details. My wife and the bridal party loved the bouquets and boutineers. The arbor she decorated for the ceremony was stunning and the center pieces were awesome especially for the bridal party tables.

    Spectacular Florist!

    Kristen went above and beyond! She really took my vision of flowers and brought it to life! I couldn't have asked for more perfect arrangements! Her support throughout this whole process was so amazing and made my life so much less stressful. She walked me through so many different types of flowers to ensure I got the arrangements that I wanted! We were just so pleased with how everything went and are so thankful for Kristen's help in making this day the day of our dreams!

    She gave me exactly want I wanted and more

    Kristen did such an amazing job on our wedding flowers. It’s hard to have this piece of the wedding that you have very little control over beyond expressing your vision, but Kristen nailed them and delivered exactly the image I had in my mind, even though I wasn’t entirely sure what it was myself. She was so great to work with! She listened to what we wanted and referenced pictures, she made suggestions when asked, but let me make the decisions, and she even sent me pictures of flowers in her garden to help me decide. She also was conscious of budget and happy to offer cheaper alternatives. One thing that I wasn’t sure about was exactly what I wanted for my chuppah, but she totally got it. It was perfect and better than imagined. We got so many compliments on the chuppah and flowers in general! I am so thankful! Couldn’t recommend enough!

    Beautiful Flowers At A Great Price

    Kristen delivered the flowers for our wedding and everything looked gorgeous! The arrangements added to our arbor and centerpieces pulled the entire look of our decor together. The boutonnieres and bouquets were simple, but elegant and exactly what we wanted. They perfectly complimented the attire. All the flowers were fresh and bright. Kristen was great throughout the whole process. We were able to meet with her at her home from the beginning and plan out how we wanted everything to look. She was also great at making sure we stayed within our original budget. I highly recommend her for any north shore weddings.

    Affordable, Knowledgeable, and Accommodating!

    I found Kristen through several online searches of florists in my area. She had wonderful reviews, and many saying she is able to work with your budget. From the get go she was super responsive. After my initial email, she worked quickly to get an idea of what I was looking for and sent me an estimate / proposal for my wedding. I wasn't 100% sure what I was looking for, but knew I wanted sunflowers and sent her over some inspiration pictures. I booked her right away based on how affordable her services were! A month or so before the wedding she called me to go over everything she had in the proposal. She was very accommodating and removed some things we no longer needed, and added flowers we decided we wanted during our planning process. I am clueless when it comes to flowers, and Kristen helped me decide what would look nice together, and flowers that were similar to my inspiration photos. A few weeks later, we had to drop off the vases we purchased for the centerpieces to her house. My husband got lost on the way, so I called Kristen to see if she could help us with directions. She was so kind and took my husband's phone number down to help him find her, and then even texted me when he got there to let me know he made it!

    The day of the wedding everything was at the venue and set up before either my husband and I arrived on site. Everything was absolutely beautiful, from the bouquets and the centerpieces, down to the cake! I can't thank you enough for making my flower vision come to life!

    Floral dreams come true

    Kristen made all of our floral dreams come true at our wedding! She listened to what we wanted and made it come to life perfectly. Her flowers were beautiful and they received many compliments from guests. Her gold moon gate ceremony backdrop was particularly stunning. Kristen also listened to an idea I had about surprising my mother with an arrangement to attach to her wheelchair and my mother loved it! I highly recommend Kristen--she is extremely prompt, professional, and talented!

    Stress free, creative, and beautiful florals!

    Working with Kristen was an absolutely fantastic experience. Communicating with her was a breeze and a joy. Her creative suggestions and expertise brought my vision to life and made the florals for our wedding beyond what I could have imagined. After my first conversation with her I trusted her fully to do our wedding. She allowed us to utilize vases we found that matched our color scheme and came up with great ideas to incorporate other floral arrangements to match. I had a rather specific image in mind for my bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquets and she executed this perfectly. She was respectful of our budget and helped us find ways to stay within that budget while still achieving the look we wanted.
    Our wedding was during a record heat wave, but at no point did Kristen express concerns about this. I never once worried about my flowers in the heat because Kristen was prepared and took every necessary precaution to make sure they all looked amazing all night.
    I have had multiple people ask me where I got my flowers and comment on how beautifully they were arranged.
    Working with Kristen was totally stress free and added such a unique and personal touch to our wedding. We are so thankful we found her and would absolutely recommend her to everyone!

    Mother of the Bride

    Kristen provided gorgeous, fresh flower arrangements for the church, the wedding party, and welcome table. She brought my daughter's vision to life perfectly, was on time, was both personable and professional, and she always responded to our questions promptly. Highly recommend her for any function that needs floral arrangements.

    Truly work of art!!!

    When I was looking for florists, I was looking for vendors who made beautiful designs, but were also within my budget. Kristen really surpassed my expectations. From the start, she was extremely responsive, going back and forth with me on the different arrangements I needed, and even sending me a pinterest page of flowers that I would like. I met with her in person and she was extremely flexible, always listening, offering her suggestions, and making sure she took down all the details. She was also willing to work within my budget, which I truly appreciated. Come wedding day, she went above and beyond, my guests kept complimenting me on the beautiful flowers!!! They really were a work of art and was delighted seeing how they made my wedding so special. Overall, if you want a florist who knows what she is doing, is friendly, flexible, and responsive... look no more!

    Gorgeous work and a pleasure to work with!

    Kristen was amazing to work with! I gave her a general idea of what I was looking for and she hit it out of the park! Kristen went above and beyond what I was expecting with everything from the bouquets to the table decorations. Not only was everything gorgeous, her prices where much more reasonable than other vendors I had spoken to. I would highly recommend working with her!

    Made our floral dreams come true!

    One of the elements of planning our wedding that I was most excited for was flowers. I absolutely love fresh flowers, and wanted have a fun, personal and unique bouquets and centerpieces at our wedding. Kristen did the flowers for my sister's wedding which we loved, so my fiancee and I reached out to see if Kristen could work with us, in our budget. From the very first interaction and until the day she dropped off our flowers, Kristen was incredible to work with. She listened to what we were looking for, made recommendations based on our bridesmaids colors and venue, and made sure to incorporate my favorite flowers and antique pitchers we had collected to be part of our theme. Each of the bouquets and boutineers Kristen created was unique, but they all tied together beautifully. I couldn't have been more thrilled with our flowers or working with Kristen - everything totally exceeded our expectations!!

    Thank you so much, your family is incredible to work with and I am thrilled that you donated all the centerpieces!

    Willowdale Wedding

    Kristen was the best choice for our wedding. We got married at Willowdale Estate and she did a beautiful job. Right when we met her at her beautiful home, we knew she was the one! She not only did she come up with gorgeous ideas based on my colors, but she worked within our budget and gave fantastic suggestions.

    Beautiful wedding flowers

    We hired Kristen to do the flowers for our wedding at the Ipswich Country Club in May 2019. Kristen was wonderful to work with and was always willing to go the extra mile. We had originally asked Kristen to do flowers for the wedding party only and were planning to make our own centerpieces. About a month and half out we decided to ask Kristen to do the centerpieces as well and she jumped right in and even offered to paint the vases we had bought herself. When Kristen arrived with the flowers on the day of, I was truly blown away by how beautiful they were. From the centerpieces to the bridesmaids bouquets to my bouquet, everything was just above and beyond what I had ever expected. Kristen even brought some extra flowers to arrange in the entry and on our sweetheart table. I can’t recommend Kristen highly enough.

    Simply Amazing...Kristen and her work!

    Kristen Blais is amazing. Period. She is super flexible, friendly, thoughtful and most importantly, does beautiful work! We called Kristen "late in the game" and she was easily able to accommodate us. Her prices are more than reasonable, and her work is just beautiful. Our guests all were wowed by the flowers and table centerpieces....we were as well! If you want beautifully arranged florals, a thoughtful designer and someone who will work with your ideas, Kristen is absolutely the person to work with. If you are holding your wedding at Willowdale, even better! She knows the venue and will stand and deliver! Loved her!

    Beautiful flowers!

    Kristen did a fantastic job with our wedding flowers. She put together beautiful displays, center pieces, bouquets, and boutonnieres. She was very professional, punctual, and easy to work with. She allowed me to personalize the bouquets and they looked exactly the way I had hoped. The pricing was very reasonable and she was generous in adding on extras to make sure everything looked perfect.
