Beautiful Florals & an Accommodating Team!

After debating using fake florals to save money, we decided to hire University Florist relatively late in the planning process, and are so happy we did! University Florist provided beautiful flowers at a reasonable, transparent price. Further, they were able to work with our budget, and never once made us feel like we needed to spend more than we were comfortable with. Carolyn and her team were able to execute my vision without too much instruction. Carolyn was also willing to have an in person meeting with us at the venue a few months prior, which was very helpful.

The booking and quoting isn’t the most tech-savvy process (everything done via email or on word docs basically) but don’t let this deter you. University Florist was very responsive and would respond to all emails in a timely manner.

I was very happy with the final product and service that day, and would hire University Florist again!

THE florist in Lexington and beyond

Carolyn is amazing! I would choose her as our florist time and again and recommend her to anyone I know and love. She worked tirelessly to help achieve what I could barely describe. The end product was beyond perfection and she was endlessly kind and professional throughout 2.5 years of working with her. In a big city, she would be one of the most sought after florist and thankful she graces Lexington with her talent and heart.

Beautiful Florals

The University Florist team helped to create beautiful floral arrangements for our wedding day! I knew very little about what I wanted in regard to florals and the University Florist team was helpful in designing my bouquet and arrangements. I was blown away on my wedding day when I first saw everything - they did an amazing job!

Beautiful Flower for Our Daughter's Wedding

We would highly recommend University Florist in Lexington, VA to do the florals for your wedding. We met with Carolyn twice about my daughter's wedding, and she went out of her way to accommodate us since we were coming out of town. The florals she did were beautiful and exactly what my daughter wanted. Carolyn paid close attention to what my daughter wanted, make recommendations based on the flowers that would last the longest for an outdoor wedding, and made suggestions that would keep us within our budget while ending up with the look the bride desired. We would highly recommend University Florist in Lexington!

Wonderful Experience

I highly recommend University Florist! Carolyn was wonderful to work with. She’s kind, responsive, understanding and helpful. It’s clear that she values her customers. She listened to my ideas and gave great advice and suggestions. Carolyn went above and beyond to make our vision come to life! From start to finish, University Florist exceeded my expectations. Every communication we had leading up to the wedding was clear and professional. All the employees were kind and helpful. The floral arrangements for our rehearsal dinner were more beautiful than I imagined. The bridal bouquets, Boutonnières, greenery, and floating candle arrangements on our wedding night were absolutely stunning! Carolyn and her team made sure every detail was perfect the day of. I would highly recommend them for any event! You won’t be disappointed!

Wow! My flowers were perfect!

Carolyn and the team at University Florist blew me away! They created a gorgeous bouquet and boutonniere for my (now) husband and I for our Blue Ridge elopement on 10/28/2020. I was staying in Lexington as an out of town guest for my elopement so my entire flower order was created from a distance. Carolyn was so attentive and professional in connecting with me on the phone and over email in order to capture my ideal bouquet style and color palette. The ordering process was so easy and efficient- it took a lot of stress off my plate! I picked up the flowers the morning of my ceremony and could not have been more happy with the quality and creativity from the University Florist team. The flowers were amazing and made for such a special detail on our wedding day!

University Florist will make your wedding a dream come true

I am not sure where to even begin writing this wedding review for Carolyn and her team at University Florist located in Lexington, Virginia.

Carolyn did my flowers for my wedding at House Mountain and The Irvine Estate. It was everything I could have ever wanted and more.

Carolyn blew me away in every aspect. She is VERY detail oriented and organized. I myself work in the event business I knew that planning my wedding would be "my best event". I am a type A person and was that typical bride who wanted it all. And more. Flowers were the focal point at my wedding. For the most part, I came with a plan of what I thought I wanted and liked. Carolyn took my plan and elevated it.

Carolyn made me feel special. I felt like she heard what I was wanting, and did more. She provided flowers for the pergola, my bridal party, decorated wine barrel arrangements, and everything you could think about for a reception.

I can't express how happy I was on my wedding day and how many compliments I received on our wedding flowers. Please please choose Carolyn. Don't hesitate to pick University Florist. You will not be disappointed. Carolyn is a true find and you will be finding yourself thanking her for doing your wedding.

They say that a pictures is worth a thousand words. I am obsessed with her work. And her skill. And her dedication to her clients. Please enjoy some of my wedding pictures of my flowers, you will find yourself impressed with everything!

Stunning Flowers

We hired University Florist and Greenery to create our wedding flowers. Carolyn was awesome to work with and the flowers turned out perfectly. The flowers were high quality and exactly what I was picturing. Carolyn was able to turn my dream flowers into reality. They knew our venue, House Mountain Inn, really well so she was able to help guide our choices. She is also super real and told me ways I could save money instead of her charging me more.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
