C&M Fleuri — Local services in San Francisco

TL;DR - Without hesitation, I would recommend (and have been!) CM Fleuri to anyone who is looking for tasteful, elegant, natural wedding florals from a vendor that is supportive, responsive, and affordable!

Despite my long overdue review, I can't sing enough praises about Mariane at CM Fleuri. While I initially had plans for a family friend to do our wedding floral, an emergency changed all of that and I was left in a small state of panic. With just under 5 months to my wedding, I thought there was no chance I would be able to find a florist for my summer wedding date that would be within my budget. I took a chance and messaged CM Fleuri via Wedding Wire as a quick browse of Instagram confirmed that Mariane's style was what I was looking for. She responded within HOURS and I knew that she was someone I wanted to work to so long as our availability lined up.

Cue my over-the-top requests and photo-heavy email, which I expected a lot of pushback on due to the fact that I wanted a large, cascade-like bridal bouquet, a garland for a backdrop, 7 bridesmaids bouquets, 10 boutonnieres, 18 centerpieces and 6 pinned corsages for under $2200. Mariane responded within 24 hours with many photos of her own, and suggestions on how to make my vision come true within my budget.

As we got closer to the wedding, I realized there were changes that needed to be made, and Mariane was just as flexible as she was when we first signed the contract. On the day of the wedding, she had everything ready in our bridal room and stayed to make sure everything from the centerpiece to the garland was set up perfectly. I received compliment after compliment from my guests, and get to smile every day when I look at my dried bridal bouquet. I couldn't be happier with her work, and only wish it made sense to get married again ASAP so I can have another reason to use her services. Luckily, with it being the holidays, it is engagement season and I've had many an opportunity to pass along my recommendation for...

At our initial consultation regarding flowers for our wedding, Mariane was well-prepared with examples of her past work, and very knowledgeable about what flowers would be in season, the estimated cost, how well they would hold up, etc. She provided expert guidance on the types of flowers that would match our color choices (including greenery), and was very helpful regarding various options for centerpieces, sprays, and more. We were impressed with her attention to detail, including logistics on everything from loose petals to cake flowers, and we felt that she was very passionate about and committed to her work, all at a great price.

Day-of, the flowers arrived on time, and setup went smoothly without requiring any guidance from us. Flowers looked as fresh as can be, of high quality, and they were exactly what was discussed. Agreed-upon details were all there, including late changes and additions such as the exact positioning of flowers attached to the stage arch. Boutonnieres were attached and adjusted by her staff, who were kind enough and patient enough to allow the videographer and photographers to take the footage and shots they wanted of the process. Cake flowers were impeccable, and provided in water jars as requested. Flowers lasted the whole day without a problem, and her staff even stayed longer to move the spray from ceremony site to reception, above and beyond the agreement, to ensure that the spray was not damaged in transit and that it looked good on the reception stage. After the wedding, we managed to dry some of the bouquet flowers without issue (another good sign), and one of the bridesmaids managed to dry an entire centerpiece—which looked surprisingly good two months afterward.

In short, Mariane is an amazing florist who was a joy to work with for our wedding, and I highly recommend...

Mariane did an excellent job with the flowers for my wedding. I only met with her once in person before the wedding, and it was enough. Flowers were not something I wanted to spend a fortune on, so I came to her with a proposed budget and the number of bouquets/boutonnieres/centerpieces needed, and she came up with several simple yet elegant solutions within my budget. She came to our meeting extremely prepared, asking all sorts of questions that I hadn’t even thought of, and which were reassuring to not have to think of as a bride-to-be. She also came with a contract that she filled in as I answered her questions. Between our meeting and the wedding, I texted her a few times changing or confirming details of our contract, and it was never a problem for her. She was always very quick to reply and very accommodating to my needs. She even told me ahead of time when she was going on vacation for a week, even though it was still several months before the wedding, and we hadn’t talked in a while. On the day of, to be completely honest, I did not remember exactly I asked for (as it had been several months since our only meeting) and I was SO pleasantly surprised — the bouquets, boutonnieres, and centerpieces all turned out amazingly.

My husband also had great things to say about Marianne. He and his groomsman arrived to the church early for photos and Marianne was already there. She helped each groomsmen with his boutonniere and even was able to administer an emergency fix for one groomsmen who broke his boutonniere. Overall my husband was very impressed with her professionalism...
