Words cannot express how thankful I found Christa and Don't Toss the Bouquet. Christa is a walking…read moreangel. Her work is SO beautiful that she does for the brides, angel babies + families and Long Island community. I found Christa through searching groups and also mentioned it to my wedding planner. I saw reviews of how brides preserved their bouquets and I was definitely interested in doing that. Her website was super easy to work and I was able to inquire and book about picking up my bouquet and flowers from my wedding. I also was able to donate my flowers through Christa so she can spread the love after my wedding to others. She came and picked up my flowers after my wedding and I was so excited to meet her. She shared with me where she donated my flowers to the next day - which I think is such a beautiful program. I booked an appointment within a month to go visit her store and finalize what i wanted to do with my bouquet. She has a beautiful store in Patchogue and it's definitely worth the trip if you're not nearby. It's great to see visually what other brides have had done and the endless possibilities! I definitely got shop happy and bought a wooden box, 2 rosarys and board and later added ornaments! Christa is upfront that her process takes 12 months + as it takes time and patience to carefully preserve your flowers so they last forever. I was totally grateful for the explanation up front and understood of the time of the process to make sure that the flowers were not rushed, carefully preserved and last forever. Christa reached out to me with pictures of proofs about a little over a year out. I told her not to rush because I was okay waiting longer for my flowers - and it was certainly worth the wait! She gave a few proofs to offer options and was open to feedback. I later scheduled an appointment to pick up my preservations and wow they were stunning! It was super worth the wait and I think it's so worth the price + value. Christa also doesn't have a limit on her bookings so you can literally pick an ornament or rosary beads and she will work just as hard as if you were ordering a bunch of items. Again - I am super thankful for blessed to have met Christa and Don't Toss the Bouquet. I will definitely refer everyone to her and thankful to have made a friend from meeting her!

It's clear Christa does great work but I can't recommend her based on her demeanor in the way she…read moreresponds to requests/questions. Our schedule post wedding is a bit tight and She didn't even make an attempt to try to work with us or offer options to help us out. Even when we decided we'd try to make it work, she was flippant in her responses when I'd ask pretty fair questions. Not the type of person I'd want to work with. We'd rather toss the bouquet than have to deal with her throughout this process. UPDATED: Our issue had nothing to do with Christa's limited availability. It was her lack of attentiveness or care to the questions we were asking. She had plenty of availability by the way. She just chose to ignore the questions asked because it really just seemed like she didn't want to deal with the hassle.

Diane Guadett is the QUEEN of event décor. Diane did the flowers and decorating for our 10/7/2017…read morewedding at The Loading Dock in Stamford. I met with a number of florists prior to meeting Diane and was beginning to think that there was no one out there who could understand my vision for our wedding day. When I met Diane I was instantly obsessed; she is energetic, passionate, funny, stylish and she understood exactly what we was looking for. Diane took time to have multiple meetings with me both in person and over the phone during the planning period. There are no words to describe how I felt walking into The Loading Dock on the day of our wedding. Diane and her team took an empty venue and completely transformed it into our dream. There was no detailed missed. I literally heard people gasping as they walked into each room. Every expectation we had was FAR exceed by Diane. We could never thank her enough - Matthew & Stephanie

I used Marion for my wedding at Flowerfield and I did not make the wrong decision. She is embedded in this wedding hall and touches of her creative are all over. She is very sweet and easy to work with. She cooperated with any changes I made and worked with my vision to create the perfect wedding. After our several phone conversations, my mother and I went to the studio in person. Here we were able to see various centerpieces and card cages in person. I provided various photos for what I wanted in my bouquets and center pieces. When my flowers were delivered on my wedding, I was speechless. They were absolutely GORGEOUS.

Gina is the absolute best…read more Starting with initial planning amidst the pandemic and working consistently for more than a year up through the sprint to the crucial final details, Gina played so many roles for us - partner, confidant, Devil's Advocate, and just plain advocate. Amidst our busy lives, this was huge! Gina has incredible relationships with venues (we chose Flowerfield, and we were delighted) and vendors (we had strong experiences across the board), and she deeply engaged with the questions we asked (and the ones she thought we should ask.) In the long pursuit of a close-to-perfect day, Gina was a steady and skilled hand at the wheel. We're pleased to report that our wedding day was, indeed, amazing and breathtaking. Our friends & family were blown away by both the big things and the details - and we have Gina to thank. Hiring her was an amazing decision. Thanks Gina & team! - Ryan & Pin
