Hello, I’m Christina – the heart behind Calisto Flowers.

My flower journey began 16 years ago at a quaint little flower stall tucked away in the heart of Marylebone, London. What started as a simple role conditioning blooms and preparing them for display quickly bloomed into a lifelong passion. I was captivated by the artistry of the florists around me and knew I had found my calling.

Determined to pursue this newfound love, I studied floristry at Capel Manor College, where I earned a City & Guilds Distinction. From there, I worked in several local high street flower shops, honing my skills and learning the ins and outs of the industry.

A major turning point in my career came when I joined the iconic Jane Packer Flowers. After several enriching years there, I followed a dream and joined the prestigious McQueens Flowers. Starting at their in-house shop at Claridge’s Hotel, Mayfair, I later moved into the McQueens Contracts team, taking care of high-profile clients including The Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park and Annabel’s.

Today, with over a decade and a half of experience in the floral world, I run Calisto Flowers, which has been proudly specialising in weddings and events for the past six years. Every arrangement I create is rooted in passion, inspired by my journey, and tailored with care to bring beauty into life’s most special moments.
