Kristine and her team were so kind and professional throughout the entire wedding planning process. They worked with my now-husband and I through every step of the way which allowed us to relax and enjoy a very special period of time and a very special day. They were flexible and accommodating and supportive. I am so thankful for the way in which the KSD team brought my dream wedding to life!

Look no further, Kristine is your gal! I have nothing but amazing things to say about her & her team. She is an absolute joy to be around and is so kind and professional. I hired her for my florals at my wedding & I was not disappointed one bit. She truly went above and beyond to execute my vision, and they turned out better than I would have imagined! I got so many compliments throughout the night & even had a handful of guests bring home all the center pieces and bouquets because they were that beautiful!
Professionally, Kristine is VERY organized and is so easy to communicate with. She really does feel like a best friend you’ve had for years. I had a little bit of a meltdown & Kristine handled it with professionalism, grace, and so much kindness. I tell her all the time, but if I could get married again I would hire her a million times over. The sweetest soul and she is truly a master of her art. Thank you again for being my dream florist.

From the initial outreach to the conclusion of the wedding, Kristine was an excellent communicator. She listened to our needs and wants, and made it a priority to deliver for us. True story, literally seconds after browsing her website, she sent a message to me and we ended up jumping on a call late on a Sunday evening. Her initial responsiveness was impressive, but continued with that same level of dedication throughout our planning process.

She went the extra mile to create a truly memorable wedding day for us. Not only did she craft a stunning floral arrangement, but she also played a pivotal role in shaping the overall aesthetic of our ceremony. Going above and beyond, she took it upon herself to secure the necessary chairs and personally ensure their delivery. Furthermore, her recommendations for hair, makeup, and a wedding cake were of the highest quality. While we anticipated the challenges of planning a destination micro-wedding, meeting her assured us that we were in capable hands.

When we first determined that we wanted a destination wedding, we knew that we would need assistance coordinating major and minor details from thousands of miles away. Kristine simplified everything for us, and we literally could not have done this without her. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Kristine! We highly recommend her for any of your wedding needs (destination or local).

Kristine is the wedding bestie you never knew you needed! She made all my floral dreams come true, far better than I ever imagined!

I had an idea of what I wanted, but I didn't really know how to put the things I liked together. After our meeting, I wasn't sure if I had explained what I liked correctly, but seeing everything at the wedding made my jaw drop. I was OBSESSED with my wedding florals!!! I absolutely loved how everything came together and the beautiful different flowers.

Kristine was soooo attentive and so great at responding. She was there for me through everything, going above and beyond several times, and she was the perfect fit with our wedding. We are beyond glad that she was a part of our special day!! We got sooo many compliments about the florals and they just made my wedding an absolute dream come true! Thank you so much Kristine!

Kristine is amazing to work with! I am a wedding photographer and Kristine helped make our couples day go so smoothly. She even created gorgeous floral arrangements and bouquets for the girls. If you want someone to help your day flow smoothly and everything to be beautiful hire Kristine!

Kristine worked her magic on our wedding flowers and day-of coordinating. She made my floral vision come true and I was really happy with how she pulled our reception room together. The ceremony was outdoors and it rained that day, Kristine was still able to help me remain calm and have the ceremony for 37 minutes before it rained again.

We were planning another wedding in the east coast and I’m sad I didn’t utilize Kristine for that wedding as well. Seriously, hire Kristine, she’ll take a lot of the stress and wedding-day jitters off your plate.

Where to even begin!? Working with Kristine was an absolute pleasure and truly one of the highlights of wedding planning. She found a way to make our dream wedding without us even knowing what that looked like by really listening to us and getting to know us. Her dedication to each one of her couples makes you feel so lucky and special to be one of them. Calling her a wedding bestie feels like the biggest understatement because there is absolutely nothing she won’t do to give you the most perfect and magical day.

I am SOOOO happy I went with Kristine for our wedding flowers! I had originally hired someone else but after getting some red flags I went on Zola and searched every single available vendor in my price range. After finding Kristine, I went on her website and saw sample weddings that made my jaw drop. One wedding in particular was very similar to what I had in mind (boho, beachy). After our first phone chat, I knew she was the one for the job. She was so great with communications during the months of planning, especially considering that I'm very Type A and annoying lol. She listened to every single idea and request I had, then knocked it out of the ballpark for the big day. I had SOOOO many people mention how amazing the flowers were, even my two coordinators! I may have made a few mistakes in the overall planning of my wedding but hiring Kristine was DEFINITELY NOT one of them. I promise you will love working with her!
