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! More...

Char and her team did an amazing job. I was very indecisive during the the whole process and didn’t know exactly what I wanted as decor for my wedding. Char was very patient with me. She took all of my inspiration pics and created something so unique to our taste. It turned out beautiful! It was truly a dream wedding. More...

Char and her team did such an amazing job for our July wedding at Tailwater Lodge. They listened and gave suggestions to make the day so special that I was left speechless when I saw the room. We met a few times before the wedding and everything when seemingly. Everything was done perfectly and tasteful. Char is also very easy to get a hold of, you can either text or call her and she will always get back to you . More...

Char at Affections Floral was masterful at putting together every arrangement, every bouquet, and every detail. My wedding venue was stunning with Char in charge. She is such a professional with an eye for detail I had absolutely nothing to worry about while she and her team were setting up my venue. It was truly breathtaking in every way.
I can not possibly express how special she made my day. I can only say that my wedding guests are still talking about how beautiful the flowers were 3 weeks later.

There aren't words for how much Charmaine and her team made our wedding day exactly what it was. The morning of our wedding and the days leading up, we had been slightly stressed out about items our venue had not gotten back to us about. At about 10:30AM on the day of the wedding, Charmaine showed up and immediately, there was a sense of relief. It was the first time I had met her, but the calmness she has and provides to brides and their families is unparalleled to anything I’ve ever experienced in the customer service industry. She came in, noticed the items that needed to be fixed and immediately got her team working on them, despite being the florist and not the coordinator. In under 45 minutes, she took a plain room and made it her canvas and the space could not have been more beautiful. Additionally, as the day of coordinator was not present, she worked with all the other vendors to make sure everything was set up correctly and aligned with the images I had sent over during our first correspondances. Another amazing thing about Charmaine and her team, was that they create beyond what you could envision. I had sent over inspiration pictures of what I envisioned my day to be, as well as pictures of my dress. Charmaine was familiar with the venue, and took those pictures and found ways to amplify my ideas in ways I couldn’t have even imagined. Had it not been for Charmaine, I can genuinely say that our day would not have been even close to what it was. After she was completed, I was able to relax and go about my day and when I saw everything completed right before walking down the aisle, my heart was filled with joy.If you are planning a wedding and have the opportunity - you should absolutely book with Charmaine. She goes above and beyond and is more than a florist, but the calmness you need on a day of chaos and perfectionism. We planned our entire wedding from 5 hours away and she was easily, one of the best vendors we worked with. Thank you again for the most perfect day to Charmaine and her team! More...

Where do I begin with Charmaine and her team? To say that they went out of their way to make sure our wedding was perfect would be an absolute understatement! I had a very specific budget and Char made sure to pack it full of everything I was dreaming for. The smallest of details never went overlooked. At every turn I was able to contact Char and tweak things or have her answer questions I had about her vision. I was very u prepared when going into my first meeting and had a hard time articulating what I wanted. With just 3 pictures as inspiration Char was able to pull off the wedding of our dreams! From ceremony to last little detail on the table she NAILED it! More...

It’s hard to know where to start with this because there are so many wonderful things to say about Char and her team! From the very first appointment we had with Char she made us feel like we were part of the family. We sat down at her kitchen table and started going over details. I had a vision in mind and as soon as I started telling her what it was I knew she got it! She sent a quote right away and anytime I asked for changes they were done in a blink of an eye. Not only is Char good with the business end of it she is a true artist and a genuine person!

Char and her staff will make all your wedding dreams come true and make them better then you ever thought they could be! From the flowers, to the draping, to the bistro lights, to the candles and décor, everything was so beyond beautiful. I cried multiple times when I saw it coming together and at the finished product and I will forever be grateful for that. Every place you looked at The Cannery you wanted to take a picture because it was all so gorgeous! Our guests couldn’t get over how stunning every detail was! Char will go above and beyond for you to make sure every detail is on point and can handle anything! I could never express how thankful I am to Char and her staff for everything single thing they did to make everything perfect for us. If you are looking for a professional, caring, hardworking, thoughtful florist and event planner then you need to hire Affection Florist because they are the best in the business!!

Char (and her amazing team) knocked our wedding completely out of the park. She did both floral and decor for the wedding - I cannot say enough good about both. The flowers she brought and the arrangements she built were next level. We were married on a farm, and Char ensured there were flowers at all appropriate locations throughout the entire property. She created a gorgeous chuppah at the ceremony site, and our centerpieces were unbelievable. For a decor perspective, she totally transformed the venue. The venue is already beautiful, but Char's eye for detail pulled all of it together. She brought in furniture to create seating arrangements, chandeliers, additional lighting, various tables, etc. etc. etc. and made sure that everything looked totally complete and perfect.
More, possibly, than the impeccable work, was how pleasant and easy it was to plan this with Char. Every time I spoke with her throughout the planning process, she was reassuring to a point where I knew she just had it - I didn't need to worry, because she understood what we were looking for, and she knows how to execute. On the day of, we had a tight turnaround with the wedding prior to us, and she was on-site with her team hours before our wedding party arrived to get ready. She was calming, and made sure I knew she had a handle on it all. I cannot more highly recommend a person to take care of floral and decor for a wedding. Char and co. were INCREDIBLE.

Affections Floral design did our daughters wedding. It was absolutely gorgeous. I had many guest compliment the flowers and decor. Even men complimented it also which I found unusual. The bridal flowers were beautiful and lasted a long time. The wedding was held outdoors which they also set up for the ceremony. Even the photographer was impressed on how beautiful it looked. There was one problem which occurred prior to setting up the wedding and as soon as the florist got there the problem was solved. I don't know anyone who could have done a better job. The bride and groom were very happy with everything they did and after the wedding the bride told me how much she loved it and that she would not have changed a thing. We wanted the best for our daughter and that's what we got. Thank You Char and Staff. More...

I cannot thank Char and her team enough! From our first meeting to the day of the event she went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and confident in the design for wedding day. She took my dreams and made them a reality. I'll never forget the feeling I felt the day I walked into my reception space and saw everything come to life. I had chills all over my body and happy tears filled my eyes. It truly was a dream come true. Char and her team (husband, too!) worked tirelessly to make everything perfect. As an event planner I know how much work and effort it takes to pull something like that off, their hard work did not go unnoticed. Family and friends are still complimenting me on how beautiful my space was. At the time of my wedding a close member of my family was fighting cancer, Char consistently asking me how he was doing and even offered to help my family when the event was over. To me, that speaks perfectly to her character. Char is so genuine, creative, hardworking, caring, and simply put an amazing decorator/designer who will make your dream wedding come to life. I recommend her without reservation. More...

I previously reviewed a different florist, and this is the follow-up to that review.I placed a very large order for my 20th wedding anniversary. 100 long-cut roses, at a price north of $300. The order was placed via a popular on-line flower company, and fulfilled by a florist in Mattydale, NY. The flowers received from that Mattydale Florist were dead in just a few days.Here comes Affections Floral to the rescue. They are part of Debrucque Greenhouses in Canastota, NY.The Mattydale florist wouldn't stand behind their product, so the online flower company hired Affections to redeliver the order.The flowers Affections brought were incredible. Not only did they look fresher, the arrangement was very nice. The Mattydale flowers were effectively 100 roses in a small vase, with no "flair". The Affections order had nice greens, holly flowers for Christmas, and even a nice big bow on it.The Affections flowers made a huge statement - which is just what I was looking for for our anniversary. I would definitely do business with them again. More...
