As the bride and groom, we wanted to create a truly unforgettable environment for our big day as we’ve been told it goes by in the blink of an eye! We were fortunate enough to receive a recommendation from our wedding venue, Norfolk Botanical Gardens, for an incredibly talented florist team, Palette of Petals, who exceeded our every expectation! We mostly interacted with Shannon from Palette of Petals, and what struck us most about Shannon was her ability to capture, transform and bring to life the ideas we had for the vision of the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception without missing a beat. Her attention to detail and artistic eye brought out the smallest, most tender moments that may have otherwise been overlooked. I received so many compliments on my bridal bouquet, the bridesmaid bouquets, and even the boutonnieres!
Shannon and her team are not only masters in creation, but they are also true professionals. They arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor, and worked tirelessly to make every small detail look perfect. Shannon’s level of communication is impeccable as she was always willing to answer an email or call whenever we had a question, so we knew we were in good hands the day of the wedding. They were also true champions to set up (and move from one location to another in between events) many high caliber floral designs through an outdoor wedding, on July 12th, in Virginia! Shannon provided many different ideas and suggestions to make sure we could bring our vision to life in the best and most efficient way possible while staying within budget. She asked an abundance of great questions throughout the process to get a feel for what were our absolute “must haves” and spent a long time working with us to perfect our “vision board” so she could bring it to life.
Working with Shannon and her team has been an absolute pleasure from first contact until the end of the wedding day. Their exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication to their craft makes them a stand out choice in the world of florals! We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking extraordinary, jaw dropping floral installations! - The Canavoses

My (now) husband and I hired Palette of Petals to be the florist for our wedding at the Cavalier Hotel in March 2024. From the second I looked them up on Instagram, I KNEW they would be the perfect fit for us. Shannon and her team are incredible at what they do. In the months leading up to our wedding, they worked with us to match our vision through the creation of our very own Pinterest board. They were highly communicative throughout the whole process. On the day of my bridal portraits, as well as our wedding day, they were both prompt and efficient, working tirelessly behind the scenes to create beautiful arrangements and spaces that everyone raved about in the days after our wedding. I am so happy we found them and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful event!

I hired PoP for my wedding and was absolutely over-the-moon thrilled with them. I'm not very creative, and struggled a lot trying to articulate my vision for our wedding. I knew what I wanted in my head but had no idea how that would translate into real life. After only one meeting with Shannon, she already had turned my vision into a concrete reality. I gave her full reign to do whatever she thought looked best, and wow did she deliver. Everything came out even more beautiful than I imagined in my wildest dreams. PoP is also extremely easy to work with, efficient, professional, and easy to contact. After one meeting with PoP I knew the flowers and decor of my wedding was taken care of and I could RELAX. They're also super reasonable with their prices and are willing to work with each bride within their budget. I chose items from all three packages they provided me (from practical to luxurious) and every single item was still beautiful and well done. These ladies are true visionaries and incredibly gifted with their craft. If you have the opportunity to book these ladies and work with them, do it! You will NOT regret it!

Shannon Hart is a true artist. From the initial step of discussing the bride’s vision, she asked great questions, provided pins, and sent pictures of an event she had done that she thought we would like. The final product provided a bridal bouquet that blew us away. It was beautiful and was even more bountiful that we expected. The bridesmaid bouquets were more beautiful than many bridal bouquets I have seen. The corsages and boutonnieres were gorgeous. The sprays provided the perfect backdrop for the ceremony. The flowers on the wedding cake were a work of art. An added touch of rose petals strewn over tables provided a lift to tables throughout the venue. Using the bridesmaids’ bouquets as centerpieces for some of the reception tables provided important cost savings. Throughout the process, Shannon was quick to address questions and make recommendations. You can believe all the reviews you read about Palette of Petals. They will work with you to provide flowers that transform your wedding venue into your picture-perfect day.

Palette of Petals, Shannon, and her entire team are A+ the absolute best. They were able to take and transform our initial vision for our large church and then large industrial reception venue. But they transformed it to fit our backyard home setting when we pivoted due to covid. That’s how you can tell a vendor is truly fab - when they pivot during Covid without missing a beat. My family used POP five years ago for my sisters wedding and I knew we had to have them again for my wedding. The colors and choice of flowers were beautiful and the quality of the florals was unmatched. My mom is an avid gardener and loves arranging fresh cut flowers and learning more in her garden club. She can snuff out the not so great and let me tell you she was thrilled with Palette of Petals. They are so creative, inventive and were classic at the same time to match our style. Just so fresh and with it and truly love their craft. A real delight and a joy to work with. Even broke down pricing so we could choose between modest, moderate, or full-on for each different aspect - my bouquet, the church pews, the altar, the wreath on the house, the center pieces, they are so respectful and attend to every detail. They listen!! True pros. The photos speak for themselves. Thank you guys!!!!!!!

Shannon and her team at Palette of Petals were an integral part of creating our daughter’s “dreamy, romantic” vision for her wedding. We had no idea where to even start with floral and Shannon was able to guide us through the floral process with ease. She gave us options to help keep within our budget and created the most extraordinary fairy tale on the wedding day. Beautiful white flowers and greenery everywhere, lanterns, candles and the most amazing bouquets I’ve ever seen. My husband never understood why we needed so many flowers, but when he saw the magic that Shannon created, he said “OK, I get it now!” I couldn’t give them a stronger recommendation. We are so grateful for their hard work and creativity!

Shannon and her team were simply amazing. We let her know what type of flowers we were thinking - blue orchids, and she added in calla lilies. We did three different sized vases with blue orchids and floating candles as our center pieces. It was even more beautiful than I had imagined! The bouquets, coursages, and boutonniere's were absolutely gorgeous. The colors were so vibrant. Shannon and her team also did an amazing job on the arch with the blue and silver fabric and the flowers. The flowers came inside after the ceremony and doubled as decorations on the head table. She also added in some orchids around the cake and even added some on top of the cake. It was just simply gorgeous. Thank you so much!!!!

Shannon and her team were amazing! They stayed with us through two date changes, and I'm so glad we were able to keep them as our florist! I was very nervous about picking flowers for our wedding because I knew nothing about them! But Shannon was so helpful during our initial meeting - she asked if I had a starting point (and I did - I knew I wanted sunflowers but that was it), and was able to run with it. She even created a Pinterest page specifically for our wedding where she uploaded different pictures of flowers so I could get an idea of what the bouquets would look like. The final results blew me away and I was so thrilled with the gorgeous bouquet I got! Shannon even worked with us to add a mantle decoration very last minute because the weather was threatening to have us move the ceremony inside. That is what ended up happening, but we were able to have a beautifully decorated space.

Beyond lucky to have palette of petals do "both" our weddings. The pictures say it all!!!!

Palette of Petals created the most wonderful bridal bouquet and floral arrangements as centerpiece for our wedding. We primarily worked with Shannon Hart who is awesome since she sat with us in our initial consultation to discuss what our wedding vision was, showed us photos of flowers and made good recommendations. Despite the fact that we had three wedding postponements and she had to made quite a few revisions, she was still very accommodating and understanding. The bridal bouquet even the toss bouquet looked beautiful that even my now husband preferred to have my bouquet preserve. The arch arrangement and reception centerpieces were all so beautiful that we received a lot of compliments from our guests. The cost is definitely worth it given the great customer service and products. We definitely recommend Shannon of Palette of Petals to couples who are getting married in Hampton Roads area. You will never be disappointed with the quality that you will get from these amazing team.
