I can't recommend Cristina enough! Right from the start she was very organized and easy to work with. We wanted a traditional Spanish romantic wedding and she not only captured our vision and color scheme perfectly, she also showed me ideas I hadn't thought of that would fit my budget and theme.

The day of the wedding she arrived a little earlier than we had her set on our timeline, which made it one less thing I had to stress about. You could tell she took a lot of pride in delivering my bouquet and even showed me the best way to pose with it.

Our venue was already beautiful on it's own but the floral arrangements she created made it magical. She also knew we were on a tighter budget and was able to reuse our flowers from our ceremony at our reception. Which of course brought the cost down and made use of our flowers all night long.

She was incredibly sweet and very quick to respond. You certainly will not be disappointed working with her.

Working with Cristina was such a pleasure. From the very first meeting until beyond the wedding, she was always so sweet and helpful. At our first consultation meeting, she was able to quickly capture and put into words what exactly I was envisioning from taking a quick look at my pinterest board. I wanted romantic, fine-art, and gardeny florals. She created a style board which was very helpful for myself and for my planner as well. For the mockup I was unable to meet her in person due to my busy schedule but she was able to create a beautiful piece and send us pictures. Leading up to the wedding she was extremely accommodating to changes that I requested and always replied in the most timely manner. Most importantly, on the day of, Cristina and her team truly delivered. The design and quality of the flowers were so beautiful and went perfectly with my dress, theme, and venue (Casa Romantica). I had so many compliments on all the floral pieces and most especially my bouquet. I am so thankful for Cristina and her Posh Peony team for playing such a huge part in our dream wedding and would highly recommend her to all brides in the area.

Cristina was great to work with even though we didn't meet in person until the day of my wedding (I live in DTLA). She uses a great online software tool that keeps everything in one place which really helps with online collaboration.

Our flowers were gorgeous! She captured my dark romance theme perfectly. We were on a tight budget, and she was able to reuse our the flowers from our ceremony at our reception. The guests who wound up taking the arrangements home at the end of the night all said they lasted a full week and a half after the wedding! Amazing 🙂

There were only a few small issues that I experienced:

Pre-wedding: Most of the emails are automated which generally worked well and kept us both on track; however the last email about the final consultation somehow never went out to me. We were able to schedule something after I reached out.

Day of: Cristina delivered our bouquets personally which was very kind; they were delivered in water/vases to keep them fresh. It wasn't until we took them out of the vases 20 minutes before the ceremony that we realized we had a problem. I had a big, beautiful bouquet, but it was so big at the base, that I could barely hold it with two hands. Granted, I've been told my hands are on the smaller side, but my Maid of Honor really struggled holding both her and my bouquet at the alter. I also had a few guests point out how big the base was because I think they saw me struggling with it. I'm not sure how that could have been avoided; it wasn't something I ever thought to ask during our design discussions.

-There was a beautiful brooch on my bouquet, but it had one of the jewels missing. My photographer was able to angle it in the photographs so that it didn't really show.

-Cristina created a beautiful flower crown for my flower girl to wear, but it was way too big for her. It was adjustable, but even at the tightest option and with bobby pins securing it, it slipped down from her head as she walked down the aisle.

None of these minor issues would discourage me from recommending Cristina and her team or working with her again in the future. Her work was gorgeous and I'm grateful that I found Posh Peony.

Our dream wedding became a reality because of Cristina and her team. We married in Temecula on July 22nd 2017, but since we live up in LA all of our planning and coordinating took place over the phone. I could tell from seeing photos of her work that Cristina is a pro and I knew I could just trust her completely with my vision. She went above and beyond for us, and I still tear up thinking about how gorgeous our flowers were. I told her I wanted an etherial vibe that looked like the secret garden. She more than delivered. Thank you, Cristina, for making our wedding SO beautiful!

What can I say? I had the pleasure of working with Cristina and her team and they are truly amazing. Cristina is such a sweet, creative, and knowledgeable person. She helped me create the wedding of my dreams. I absolutely loved my floral arrangements, they were absolutely gorgeous. Choosing Posh Peony for my florist was the best decision I made for my wedding. My husband and I loved working with Cristina and Joanna. They kept me informed throughout the whole process and notified me about anything that needed my attention. Cristina and her team's hard work and dedication to make sure my wedding was absolutely perfect was definitely apparent. They were very meticulous and incredibly detailed with the design they had helped me create. Cristina, Joanna, and the Posh Peony team are genuinely good, caring, and hard working. If you want a top notch design team and florists to give you a wedding of your dreams, I highly recommend Cristina and her team at Posh Peony.

Simply phenomenal. That is the only phrase I can use to describe the floral arrangements that Posh Peony created for our wedding. I talked to a lot of florists before meeting Cristina and I knew the minute I met her that she'd be our florist. She's calm, creative, and has a sheer talent for the art. In addition to that, she's patient and answered my never-ending emails and requests for changes to the original plan. When we walked into the reception room on the day of the wedding, we were simply overwhelmed with how she brought to life the vision I had for the flowers.

But Cristina does more than create beautiful flowers. We wanted to donate our flowers after the wedding in order to help brighten up other people's days, and Cristina went out of her way to make this happen. She and her team at Posh Peony volunteered their time and energy to redesign our wedding flowers into 75 new arrangements, which were then delivered to a convalescent hospital in San Bernardino. Hopefully the flowers helped brighten up some people's days as much as they did ours. If you're looking for a floral company that not only does beautiful work but is also staffed by people with hearts of gold, make sure to give them a call.

My husband and I got married at Mount Palomar Winery on August 22 and Cristina did our florals and they were incredible! I wanted a flower arch at the alter and we discussed the look of it a lot leading up to the day and it turned out PERFECT! It was as though Cristina was able to see the vision I had in my head and bring it all to life - so unbelievable! I had quite a few changes the months leading up to the wedding since I booked her a year out, and she handled everything so gracefully. Nothing I requested was a problem and she made the adjustments and gave suggestions to work within my budget so quickly. She was simply a pleasure to work with and is just an unbelievably talented individual! I would highly recommend Cristina and Posh Peony, she is simply the BEST!

Cristina was a huge blessing to my wedding planning and wedding day experience. She was very helpful when we initially met to decide the vision for the day - she gathered a cohesive plan from my many Pinterest pins. At a later appointment she met with me and my mom and was able to please us both. The quality of linens and flowers that she delivered exceeded my expectations- everything was beautiful. Some of the linens she even ordered especially for my day. On wedding day, the Posh Peony team set up efficiently and the venue enjoyed working with them. I loved my flowers!!! Her taste is elegant and she will make your day beautiful!
