About

Karin’s Florist is a contemporary wedding florist in the Washington, D.C. area for couples seeking the perfect blooms on their big day. This florist works with couples to bring their visions to life in full color, with overflowing bouquets, lush decor, and delicate petals. The company also helps couples find their own creative vision when they feel lost in the process. This ensures that each wedding becomes a fairytale.

Experience
This florist opened in 1956 as a business owned by Bill Dukas and his father-in-law George Raptis. They worked weddings of a much different style when they began their business. The trends of the time included elaborate fountains of water, strictly modest dress codes, and wedding cakes with bridge structures. Though the times have certainly changed for many couples since that era, the principles held by Karin’s Florist still ring true. This business also combines trust and expertise with beauty and originality to make dreams come true for happy couples.

Services Offered
Couples will find assistance through every step of the wedding process when working with this florist, now run by Bill’s daughter, Maris Angolia. The team offers consultations, samples, and a venue visit in order to plan their design and their arrangements. For the wedding day itself, the staff offers delivery, setup, and cleanup of the flowers. No matter the style of wedding couples desire, the team at Karin’s Florist can design it. They create vintage and classic arrangements, modern and eclectic arrangements, even nautical or rustic floral arrangements. Each piece will reflect the day’s romance and the love the couple has for one another. Their arrangements include:

  • Aisle decor
  • Altar decor
  • Bouquets
  • Boutonnieres
  • Chuppah decor
  • Corsages
  • Flower petals
  • Single flowers
  • Table arrangements

Beautiful flowers!

I found Karin’s florist after driving by many times. I decided to use them for my bouquet and boutonniere. I sent them pics as my inspiration and they knocked it out of the park. Ironically, my wedding venue, 2941, also uses them for centerpieces so I knew it was meant to be. My husband also got flowers from them to bring to my bridal shower. Their customer service is unmatched!

Recommended 100%

Bryan did an amazing job. From the beginning he worked with us on our color choices and made recommendations. He checked with us as we got closer to the wedding day to make sure we had everything we needed and made updates as needed. I made part of our centerpieces and he added a few flowers around them that just brought it all together. He was absolutely amazing!

Wedding reception flowers

We had an excellent experience working with Karin's Florist for our wedding reception. They did a great job of listening to what we wanted (classy, elegant not over-the-top) and customizing. Bryan was super responsive, professional and helpful every time I spoke with him. The delivery and execution was seamless, and of course the flowers were beautiful!

Great value, even better service

Bryan was incredibly patient with me and delivered arrangements that really blew us away. I first went to Bryan without any ideas of a color palette or even what flowers I wanted -- just that I wanted as minimal flowers as possible. Despite my giving him very little to work with, he was always responsive and provided ideas for how different colors could play off of each other. His feedback played a major role in helping me lock down the final aesthetic of my wedding. He was also super flexible and happy to update the proposal as we adjusted our visions across the final months. Plus, everything was super reasonably priced. I can't recommend him enough!

An easy collaborative process

Karin's Florist was a breeze to work with, and our flowers looked gorgeous. Brian talked us through everything in advance and was receptive to our feedback. We ordered a sample bouquet about 6 weeks ahead of our wedding so that we had an idea of what they would look like in advance. Karin's Florist delivered on the colorful florals that we were looking for and the set up/tear down happened without a hitch. We would definitely recommend them! Photos by Lux Photography.

Highly Recommend Karin’s Florist

Highly recommend Karin’s Florist! We are not big flower people, but Bryan worked with us and our budget to help bring our vision of romantic vineyard wedding to life. They were very responsive and flexible when we needed to adjust our order. The bouquets, corsages, and boutonnières looked absolutely incredible, as did the accent flowers. We will definitely be using Karin’s for all of our future floral needs.

Thank you to the team at Karin's and especially Bryan for making my daughters wedding so lovely. We had so many compliments on the beautiful flowers. Bryan personalized the bride's bouquet with sentimental family treasures that made the event even more special. Thank you, Karin's!

Bryan is amazing to work with!

I have worked with Bryan at Karin's Florist for several years for work events. When it was time to plan my Wedding, I knew that Bryan would be the one to call. When my husband and I had to change our Wedding date due to the pandemic, Bryan was beyond supportive and accommodating. Bryan has a vision for floral design, and creates the most magical arrangements. Our flowers were even more stunning than we could have imagined. Bryan and I discussed our mutual love for Disney in the very early stages of Wedding planning. I was completely speechless when Bryan added a hidden mickey pin in my bridal bouquet on the day of my Wedding! We can't thank Bryan and Karin's Florist enough!

Beautiful Flowers

Karin’s Flowers came recommended by another friend who was recently married, and Bryan really delivered for us. From our initial conversations, Bryan was interested in our story and our overall expectations for the day. He took time to weave in smaller touches that ultimately gave the flowers a special meaning. When we shifted our plans in late February, Bryan quickly adjusted the pieces to meet our new needs. When the flowers were delivered, they were an instant hit and some people definitely still have them. Throughout the entire process, Bryan’s flexibility and professionalism really saved us a lot of time and stress. We will be Karin’s Flowers customers for life!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
