About

Erica Hutchison started Black Creek Flowers in 2010. She opened a full-service flower shop in 2011 in the heart of Mechanicsville, Virginia, the town she grew up in. After 6 years and the birth of her son, she decided to close the shop and work from home on primarily weddings and events. These days, you can find her arranging flowers (and possibly drawing with sidewalk chalk with her two boys) at her home-based workshop, still in Mechanicsville.


Black Creek Flowers boast a romantic, garden design style, but works with all themes and aesthetics. We serve the Central Virginia area, but occasionally will travel. Our company is based on the belief that the customers' needs are of the utmost importance. As a result, a high percentage of our business is from repeat customers and referrals. Our reviews say it all! And be sure to check out our image gallery.

Exceeded our expectations!

Erica did the flowers for my daughter's wedding this past weekend. We love flowers and wanted them to be a big emphasis of the wedding. I had high expectations for the flowers but I could not even have dreamed how beautiful they turned out. My daughter and I were thrilled with everything! My daughter chose the jewel tone color scheme and Erica executed it flawlessly. I can't say enough good things...everything was beyond beautiful!

Made my life easier!!!

Erica was wonderful to work with and made my life easier during the wedding planning process. I sent her my Pinterest page with my vision and she made it happen. I did not have to pick out every single flower. Highly recommend trusting Erica with your flowers!

Stunning flowers! Exactly what I wanted.

Erica did our May 2023 wedding and she was wonderful to work with! She was responsive to my ideas, respectful of my budget, and the flowers turned out absolutely stunning! She has so much talent, and is lovely and helpful to her clients. I also found her prices to be very reasonable. I highly recommend her! (Photos are by Enamor Film & Design.)

Beautiful flowers with meaning

Erica was a dream to work with! Together we chose flowers that were the colors I wanted and also meaningful to me. She incorporated any detail we asked for and had wonderful design suggestions. She went so far as to email me photos of local peonies a year before so we could find the right color match and I would know what to expect. The day of she was a breath of joy and set up was seamless. For a wedding bursting with flowers it was surprisingly affordable and she was very transparent about prices. I could not have asked for a better experience and am so thankful for her help creating a look that felt truly unique to our love.

Absolutely perfect!

Erica was so incredibly kind and easy to work with! The florals on my wedding day were so beautiful and exactly what I wanted. Each email exchange with Erica was so pleasant and she never made me feel like I was annoying her with my various questions or changes! She was also incredibly easy to work with when changing my overall vision from Fall to Summer after postponing! Highly recommend her for your wedding or next event! Thank you Erica!

One Word: Amazing

Erica is way more than a florist to me. She is one of my best friends and she was a bridesmaid in my wedding. She took on the role of bridesmaid and she did the flowers for my wedding. This was no small task, especially since the wedding was in the OBX! The flowers were literally PERFECT! The centerpieces, the garland, the arbor, the bouquets, the cake flowers- everything was gorgeous! Cameron was a HUGE help too in setting everything up at the venue while us ladies were doing our thing getting ready. After working with Erica for years, it was finally my turn to get to hold the bridal bouquet for my own wedding and that moment was so special to me!! Thank you, Erica, (and Cameron)!!

Amazingly Talented!

From initial proposal to wedding day, Erica absolutely overdelivered with the most incredible arrangements and floral accents. I knew I wanted pops of color and texture, and Erica not only helped me discover the names of flowers I loved, but put together the absolutely perfect color scheme and vision for how to put it all together. She was very familiar with my venue (Mill at Fine Creek) and helped make suggestions to bring the best out of the space. My jaw dropped when I walked downstairs to the reception site to see her work - I was genuinely blown away, she 100% captured what I was hoping to have for the day! From incorporating bud vases and antique elements inherited from my grandmother to working with some of the more detailed asks (leather cording wraps for boutonnieres, custom charm/handkerchief for my bridal bouquet, etc.), Erica was always game to make it happen. She was also incredibly flexible and responsive when I added extra arrangements to accommodate increased guest counts when COVID restrictions lifted a bit. Her pricing was very reasonable, and her talent is unmatched. Hire her and give her freedom to use her artistry and eye for floral design. You will end with something beautiful if you trust her with your day!

Great to work with

Erica was amazing, I used the a la carte menu since I didn't need a lot of flowers for my outdoor wedding and she was the absolute best! I was able to get everything I needed at a great price, but the quality was still amazing and the florals came out beautifully!

The best ever

My jaw still drops when I look back at photos of our floral arrangements. Erica is so insanely talented and the best floral artist ever.

Erica over delivered in every possible way and her creations absolutely blew us (and our guests) away! Her design skills are top notch and she made all the perfect suggestions that we would have never thought of ourselves. The whole process could not have gone smoother.

Cannot stress enough how much we loved working with Erica and Black Creek.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Erica & Ashley are such kind and fun girls to work with! They are incredibly talented in the floral department! They have put together some gorgeous arrangements for many weddings we've photographed and they always have a smile on their face when they're setting things up and dropping bouquets off. They helped us with a styled shoot - we didn't even know what we wanted and they pulled out the perfect option on the first attempt! We highly recommend them for your special day!!
