Cristina did a great job on the flowers for my wedding! She listened to exactly what I wanted and made it happen. Everything was beautiful! She was extremely professional. She fit perfectly in our budget and I never felt pressured to spend more. Best of all she's really just lots of my fun! My only regret is that I won't be seeing her anymore!

We only purchased flowers for our wedding party, house party, family and flowers for the bridal cake. When the flowers were delivered, they weren't what we contracted for. We requested no lillies in my bouquet, but there were and the purple hydrangeas I requested were missing. In addition, we requested purple hydrangeas for my bridal cake. Instead we received white roses, which couldn't be seen against the white butter cream frosting. I was disappointed in the finished product.

Cristina was amazing! My mom and I met with her once and created a vision for my bridal bouquet. When my bridesmaid showed up with Cristina's creation I was absolutely speechless!!! The bouquet was more than I could have ever imagined and I received compliments on it all night long. Thanks Cristina!

I'm not even sure where to begin with regard to Cristina's work. She did an absolutely AMAZING job. My mom and I met with her once, discussed my vision and she made it come to life in a way that far exceeded my expectations. Flowers were really my main priority so I was concerned about them not making the statement I was hoping but that was so far from the reality. My guests, the wedding coordinator at the venue, the bridal party - everyone! - raved about the florals. Please, please trust me! You will not be disappointed with Fresh Blooms!

When I began looking for a florist for my wedding it wasn't hard to pick Cristina (Fresh Blooms of Houston). I instantly fell in love with her work. She is a sweet heart and the work she does it absolutely beautiful. I told her what I wanted and she knew exactly how to go about it. I didn't have any concerns she was so flexible to work with, I knew I was going to love what she did, but when I saw the reception room for the first time, I was in AWW. It came out so much better than I had envisioned. She is extremely knowledgeable when it comes flower arrangements and if you decided to choose Fresh Blooms for your wedding I promise you won't regret it. She is so detailed and courteous... All I can say is she made my wedding look beautiful. I LOVE her work and you will too. : )

I could not have been happier with the flowers Fresh Blooms of Houston created for my wedding. Cristina is a very friendly and accommodating florist. When I originally met with her, she instantly won me over with her contagious personality and amazing portfolio. I gave her an idea of what I was looking for and she ran with it. Everything she did exceeded my expectations. I had an idea of what the finished product would look like, but on my big day I was blown away by the vivid colors of the flowers. They were more beautiful than I could have imagined. The mixture of yellows, oranges, pinks, green, and purples brought a true spring feeling to my March wedding. In fact, I received more compliments on my flowers than any other aspect of the wedding. From the initial meeting, to the delivery on the wedding day, it was all perfect….we never had any problems. Fresh Blooms of Houston will now always be my go to flower shop.

Cristina was great to work with. She was flexible and creative. I liked that she gave me ideas on how to decorate my center pieces. It helped me get an idea on how my wedding was going to look even before it happened.

Oh my gosh! Cristina did such a wonderful job. Their customer service was excellent and they really customized the arrangements. The flowers and decor for my wedding renewal surpassed my expectations. I would recommend them to everyone. If you want beautiful flowers and decor, excellent customer service and everything set up on time the day of your event, go to Fresh Blooms of Houston!

Cristina was incredible! I was introduced to Fresh Blooms of Houston after my original florist had fallen through about a month before my wedding. Even though Cristina was already very busy, so was completely willing to take on my wedding. I could not be more appreciative of both her professionalism and her talent. I approached Cristina with a murky vision of what I was picturing for our flowers and decor. She was able to bring to life what I had been trying to describe to her, and make it even better what I was imagining! I opted for brown, green, and white organic arrangements. The variety of different flowers/herbs/foliage she used was fascinating! Every bride wants to feel like their wedding is customized to their style and Cristina was able to do that with our flowers and decor. Besides being a gifted artist, Cristina was a joy to work with. I would highly recommend Fresh Blooms of Houston to any bride!

Fresh Blooms of Houston did an amazing job on our flowers! When I first met with Christina, I wasn't sure what I wanted... I knew we were going Tuscan themed with greens and deep reds and ivory but I had no clue what kind of flowers! Thankfully, Christina is a miracle worker! When she showed up the day of the wedding with the flowers, they literally took my breath away - They were more beautiful than I could have hoped for. The entire night, everyone kept coming up to me telling me how much they loved the arrangements and asking who did them. I recommend Fresh Blooms of Houston to any bride wanting beautiful breathtaking arrangements with a more bang for your buck kind of pricing!!!!

First off, you are very smart to look on wedding wire for vendor reviews. This truly is a good and honest website.Christina and Fresh Blooms of Houston were one of my top 2 vendors to work with while planning my wedding. Christina was the perfect mix between professional and friendly (seriously, she's one of the nicest and most full of life people I've ever met). I could always tell that she was not only receptive but excited to hear my ideas and then work in her creative genius. She was so willing to let me use anything she had in her shop and with her help we even incorporated some things I had and the finished product was absolutely beautiful. I searched many other florists before her because I wanted to get a good deal. Before I found Fresh Blooms my thought on flowers was that I could skimp on them and the wedding would still be pretty. My advice, don't skimp...you will want real, fresh, picture ready flowers at your wedding. My budget was $2000 and I got A LOT for it (more than I originally thought I could ever afford). From start to finish, it was a pleasure to work with Fresh Blooms of Houston!P.S. Check out Cakes By Gina too! Christina and Gina are sisters and their stores are right next to each other! These pair of sisters are INCREDIBLE.

Cristina is amazing! She's one of the friendliest/honest vendors I had the pleasure of working with. I found her via my "preferred vendor" list via Briscoe Manor (wedding venue). My mom and I met with her and she had great ideas/suggestions, but also listened to my "Plan" of what I wanted.I provided her with a couple hundred various sizes of mason jars with specific instructions on what to put where, which ones house candles, which ones house which flowers, etc... It turned out perfectly!Prices are a bit expensive- but she provides a great service and it very nice to work with! I would highly suggest her a florist for any event!

I was not surprised at all that she has a perfect score! The work Christina does is amazing!! She is so great with working with you, and helping you figure out what you want for the big day. Also, very helpful with helping find ways to cut cost etc. I can assure you, if you book her, the flowers at your wedding will be beautiful!She also did a flower arrangement on my wedding cake(which I got from Cakes by Gina) and the thing looked unbelievable! Like something from the magazines!

Christina with Fresh Blooms of Houston was very helpful. I was trying to keep my flower costs to a minimum and she had lots of great ideas and the wedding turned out just beautiful even on a budget. The guests were in awe with the color scheme and arrangements. Great Job Christina!!!

Christina did an amazing job on the flowers for our wedding. They were beautiful and very fresh. She was incredibly friendly and sat down with me several times and listened to exactly what I wanted. She even took me to the flower market to help me better envision and decide what I wanted. There were a few small problems that I had though. First, she would tell me a price for my centerpieces and then the next time I talked to her that price had changed. Secondly, on my wedding day, the flowers in my centerpieces were not the color that I had picked. The color that I had picked was an orange color and the flowers that I got were reddish-pink. My mom called her to let her know and she did not seem to want to take any of the responsibility and blamed it on her assistant. Don’t get me wrong, the flowers were beautiful but it was not what I was expecting. When a bride spends as much time planning her wedding as I did, you want no surprises. No one noticed but me and everyone loved them. Even though we had a few minor problems, I would definitely use Christina again and have already recommended her too many of my friends and family and will be using her for my cousins upcoming baby shower!

OMG! can't thank Cristina enough on her ability to see my vision. She was the only florist that I went to that could actually understand what I wanted. Everything from my bridal party flowers to the reception was absolutely beautiful and what I envisioned. She also went above and beyond in setting out several things for me at the reception. Thank you Cristina for your professionalism and talent!!

Absolutely beautiful flowers!!! Cristina's arragements were outstanding. She is a joy to work with and extremely flexible. The flowers at the church, reception and for the wedding party were awesome and we received many compliments on how unusual and unique they were. My daughter told Cristina what she wanted, primarily eggplant and green color combinations and some rare flowers like lady slipper orchids, and she did wonders. The reception was at the Grand Hall in the Houston Museum of Natural Science which is a huge venue and not easy to beautify but the place was beautiful with the Cristina's magic from Fresh Blooms of Houston.

Cristina did an overall great job on our flowers for the day of the wedding but we did run into several issues. The first, our church flowers were supposed to be transported from our ceremony site to the reception venue and that did not happen. We had to transport the flowers ourselves. She was running late to our reception venue and some guests were arriving while our centerpieces were on the floor waiting to be placed over the tables.Overall the flowers were fantastic. Everyone loved the centerpieces.

Cristina put together some amazing flowers for our wedding. I had no idea whatsoever what I wanted when i walked into our meeting, but after she asked me a few questions and then I showed her the color of my bridesmaids dresses, she seemed to know exactly what would look good. She went and pulled a few pictures she had in magazines and they were perfect!!! My mom made some drapes for the alter and Cristina agreed to hang them (and take them down) for us for a very small fee so we wouldn't have to worry about them. One thing I wish i would have done was assign someone to take the flowers from the ceremony to the reception sight. Cristina does not transfer the flowers between the two. I didn't worry about a thing with Cristina. She showed up on time & had everything ready to go for me. What a professional!!!

Cristina saved me from a wedding flower nightmare. I came to Cristina 1 month prior to my wedding after viewing a horrible sample from my original florist. Eventhough Cristina had other events on that day she helped me out. Everything turned out beautiful. Beyond my expectations. My bouquet was better than I had imagined. I am so happy and will recommend her to everyone. Thanks Cristina!
