Kristin is amazing! She is worth every penny and truly doubles as almost a second "wedding planner." She gave me amazing advice during our consult, which she did for free, and helped me tease out wedding ideas and color schemes far beyond florals. She is kind, thoughtful, and the flowers were exactly what we needed. We even accidentally forgot to order flowers for our cake and she helped us last minute, and I was not even aware so didn't feel any stress. AND I even forgot to request to have the flowers for our first look and she promptly dropped them off at our air bnb, something she did not have to do at all. Again, she truly not only helped with my flowers, but with my entire day.
She made the vision come to life and she kindly stayed at the venue throughout the ceremony to make sure everything goes perfectly. She quickly took down our ceremony flowers to help us decorate for dinner. I can't recommend her enough and cherish the amazing work she put into our florals that made our photos absolutely perfect. I miss our beautiful flower arrangements already and wish we could keep them forever : Thank you so much Kristin!

Kristin is absolute amazing! She was incredibly easy to work with, even during COVID. She was quick to respond to my contact request and we had a Zoom call to go over the florals for my wedding. She is SO knowledgeable and patient - I was clueless as to what I wanted, so she was able to guide me and make suggestions based on some thoughts I had. She was just as excited as I was when going over my choices and it absolutely showed the day of the wedding.
The bouquets were gorgeous, centerpieces flawless, everything was spot on and Kristin truly captured my vision! It was also so amazing how she repurposed my ceremony arch piece to be placed on our sweetheart table - a perfect suggestion and execution! 10/10 would recommend - you will not be disappointed!

Best floral company have ever worked with by far! A Happily Ever After Floral provided all the flowers for our wedding this past weekend in Jacksonville Beach, FL to perfection. From the first inquiry to Kristin to the wedding day she has been nothing but professional, friendly, easy to work with and supportive of my event. She demonstrates true passion for what she does by listening to what you want, offering suggestions, and then going to work to create the most beautiful bouquet that I could ever imagine for me and the entire bridal party. I have already referred her services to several others with upcoming weddings. You will not be disappointed! Thank you Kristin. You far exceeded all expectations! ~Joanna

We were so blessed to have found such a wonderfully talented floral artist for our daughter's wedding! Flowers are such a visual element and they really set the tone for a wedding. The labor of love that Kristen put into her work was evident and we can't thank her enough! The bouquets and all floral were absolutely stunning and exactly as our daughter had wanted. Mother Nature was not cooperating with us that day and Kristen was so accommodating at setting up indoors. We would highly recommend Kristen! She was absolutely amazing!

This company was the absolute BEST! They did the floral for my wedding. My flowers were beautiful & they decorated my banquet room so beautifully. Also the wedding coordinator at my venue dropped the ball but my floral assistants took care of extra details that were not their responsibility. They went above & beyond. The owner Kristin came that evening after the wedding & made sure she was able to see me. I would recommend this florist for any flower needs. They forever have my business.

I've been in the wedding industry for about 8 years. When my husband and I started planning our wedding we chose to hire vendors that we'd never personally worked with so to not hurt feelings (the industry in NE FL is huge so it wasn't hard). One of our few exceptions to this was choosing Kristin to do our florals. Kristin is so incredibly talented and will fulfill your vision whether traditional round arrangements of roses and hydrangeas to large airy arrangements like mine was. I'm pretty sure there's nothing the woman can't do!

Kristin put together beautiful arrangements for my daughter's wedding on Dec. 8th. As it was our first wedding, we were pretty clueless. Kristin was able to interpret what we were looking for. The flowers were beautifully perfect. Kristin is great at her job and was a joy to work with. Thank you!

Kristin went far above and beyond to exceed all my expectations regarding the florals used at our wedding. In addition to providing everything on the contract, there were added accents everywhere that completely caught me by surprise and blew me away! Every single aspect was stunning and with her help, everyone in attendance was treated to an amazing experience. Green filled the rooms and brought our ideas of welcoming nature into the venue walls to life.
The groomslady bouquets were lovely and lush. There are not enough superlatives to describe how perfect a florist Kristin has been for us throughout the entire planning process and the wedding itself. To say that my husband and I were blown away is still an understatement and I want to share my gratitude for playing such an integral role in the success of our special day.

Kristin truly gave us our dream wedding. I showed her numerous Pinterest pictures and she executed everything PERFECTLY. My now husband was amazed at our centerpieces all the other flowers provided. Kristen is extremely easy to work with, available whenever you want to make 62 changes (exaggeration but totally true), and also very upfront about pricing and what will and will not work. She can give suggestions and put her own little touch on things as well if youre not as knowledgeable in the floral department. I would absolutely recommend a happily ever after floral!

I cannot even begin to describe what Kristin and her team did for me!! I was thinking "third wedding, who goes to the trouble", BUT, I was still a Bride and Kristin created an enchanted moment for me that no words could ever describe. Being a widow with parents that have passed, Kristin brought the presence of those loved ones with her exquisite style. Kristin - Thank you is insufficient! I am eternally indebted to you!! You moved my heart and touched my soul with your creative talent.
