Tina Barrera

Tina works from her home and does not advertise. She has made quite a business just from word of mouth from previous clients. I met with Tina at her home and she had plenty of books of her work to show me. I had very specific ideas in mind and she delivered perfectly. We had two ceremonies- one Indian and one Catholic and she took care of everything for both, including the Indian Mandap (which she had never done before but pulled off perfectly). Best of all, her prices can’t be beat! This is probably my vendor that offered the best value. I highly recommend her! 


Tina is very creative and helpful! She is very knowledgeable on the types of flowers that will be in season during your wedding to ensure they look beautiful on your day. It was great working with someone so talented and personable!

Working with Tina Barrera and her company "The Special Event" was a fabulous experience. Tina's expertise were extremely helpful in assisting us choose the flowers and decor for our wedding. She met with us beforehand to discuss the best flowers to use for the time of year and the "wow" factor we wanted and gave us fantastic ideas on how to acheive the vibe we were looking for. She really listened to our preferences and was able to share her extensive experiences with the church and the reception venue to help us choose the decor for both. And let me tell you that we were not disappointed! We knew everything would look great but Tina blew away our expectations! The day of the wedding went very smoothly and everything looked amazing - we received so many compliments on the bright, beautiful flowers and stunning, dramatic decor and have recommended Tina to everyone that we know!

Tina was a joy to work with. Her prices are very reasonable and the quality of her product is very high. She worked with me to bring my own style to the flowers. We were very pleased with the results. I highly recommend Tina!

Tina was such a delight to work with! She has a great knowledge of flowers and clearly knows what she is doing. I came in with a "vision" of what I wanted but didn't know the name of any of the flowers that I really wanted. After meeting with her for a few minutes she put together exactly what I wanted! I was so completely happy with how my flowers turned out. I received so many compliments on my boquet, my bridesmaids, and the flowers at our reception. Our pictures looked with the flowers.

I highly recommend! If you are looking for someone who is young and can bring fresh ideas to the table...Tina is who you want!

I always love when a bride tells me she's hired Tina to do her flowers because I know Tina will do a marvelous job of creating arrangements that not only look gorgeous, but will survive the heat of St. Louis summer weddings. Her bouquets are nothing short of amazing to photograph.
