Chita is hands down the best florist I know and have grown to love! My husband and I were looking for a florist for our wedding and I came across Chita. We honestly hit it off! It was like we were just catching up as friends that haven't seen each other in a while and talking about random stuff. I love that she was honest with me about the flowers and which ones would provide me more value as certain florals that have thin stems, even though they look gorgeous in photos, you will likely only be able to use half of them since their stems are so delicate. Chita is really affordable as well which was one thing I was grateful for and she also does her best to work with your budget and provides honesty with which florals are increasing the cost and what florals would be solid substitutes but still fit the vision you have in mind.
I was blown away by her expertise just alone speaking to her because we chatted a few times when I was shopping around for florists. She had all the items I wanted in my vision, such as pillar candles, florals in bud vases, low floor pillars, etc. Since I was firm with pillar candles and she rented them out, it was perfect. The thing that made her stand out from other florists that I reached out to for quotes was that she not only took my wants and created a vision out of it, but also went above and beyond and added in items that I did not even consider to my quote and talked me through each of them. Aalso does a mockup session with you a month prior to your big day so that she knows exactly what you are envisioning and that is included in the quote. Since we were doing bud vases, Chita offered to take my husband and I to the flower district in DTLA and we had a blast! We met up with Chita and her husband Sergio at her shop and carpooled together and caught up like longtime friends. Once we got there, we got the real VIP experience of what their day to day looks like. Chita showed us the vendors she uses, how she selects flowers, the florals that we will be using for our wedding, which ones fit our color scheme to give us an idea of what our florals would look like. Sergio is just as amazing, my husband and I couldn't stop talking about how well they work together as a team, they just get each other and really support one another. We love them as a couple and they are a match made in heaven!
Now getting to Chita bringing our vision to life is a whole nother story, she has such a creative mind when it comes to flowers that it comes natural to her and she is brilliant at it! When we got to our venue on our wedding day, we were blown away by her creations, they were nothing like what we had envisioned but they exceeded it by 10000000x. Everything was beyond gorgeous! My husband and I also loved that her son was there to take photos of our wedding as he is super talented in photography. Chita, Sergio, and their son's talent really go hand in hand and I can't wait to see how far they go, because I know they are going to do amazing!
If you are still thinking about whether or not to reach out, please reach out! It will be one of the best decisions you will make because it will be the focal point of your event or one of the best floral arrangements you have ever ordered! A huge thank you to Chita and Sergio for being there for our wedding planning from the start and really taking our breath away the day of, you guys are truly talented and we are beyond grateful that you guys got to be part of our special day and really bring our vision to life! read more
