    Gorgeous and Perfect Florals

    Donna was amazing to work with from the start! She created beautiful bouquets and arrangements for our wedding and the arch and arrangement she made on that was stunning! She also was able to beautifully incorporate my grandmothers' necklace and bracelet into the bouquet so that they could be included in my wedding day.

    Gorgeous Florals and a Wonderful Florist

    Donna at Colonial Florist was an absolute joy to work with. From start to finish, she was easy, responsive, and truly understood my vision. The flowers turned out even more beautiful than I could have imagined — they were stunning and received so many compliments throughout the day. I couldn’t have been happier with how everything came together. I highly recommend Donna and Colonial Florist to any future couples!

    November 2025 Wedding Castle Hill

    I would recommend the Colonial Florist to everyone getting married. I wanted a fairytale feeling at our wedding and gave Donna inspiration pictures and she completely made my vision come to life! I was blown away and my guests still talk about how beautiful our wedding flowers were. I am so grateful for her and everything she did for us.

    Wow wow and wow!

    I truly cannot say enough amazing things about our florist. From our very first conversation, she was unbelievably warm, kind, and genuinely invested in understanding our vision. She didn’t just hear my ideas, she got them, refined them, and somehow turned them into something even more beautiful than I imagined.Every single detail was thoughtful and intentional. To say she WOWed our guests is a huge understatement-people are still talking about the welcoming of the ceremony space, the warmth of the dining room and uniqueness of our flowers. They completely transformed the space and set the tone for the entire day.She was also incredibly flexible and patient as I made numerous changes (as brides do 😅), and never once made me feel like a burden or rushed. Instead, she met every tweak with grace, reassurance, and a clear commitment to making sure it was perfect.Her work ethic, talent, and heart truly set herapart. If you want someone who will work tirelessly to bring your dream to life—and then exceed it—look no further. Hiring Donna was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, hands down. 💐💕

    Oh my goodness Heather, what a wonderful review!! I am so happy I could bring your vision to life and it was a big success!! You were a dream to work with through the whole process and I wish you both many years of happiness together!!

    Absolutely Amazing!!

    Working with Donna was absolutely incredible. She was very quick to respond and was so helpful in helping our vision come to life. From the very first phone consultation to wedding day, Donna was amazing. I actually started to tear up with I saw our Chuppah on wedding day, as it was everything I was envisioning and more! She made our tables look fantastic with greenery, candles, and flowers. And the flower collar she made for our pup was so sturdy and is still together months later!! Highly recommend working with Colonial Florist!

    Amazing floral arrangements and decor!

    We highly recommend Colonial Florist for your wedding florals!!! We truly felt that this vendor listened to our vision and brought it to life in a way that we could never have imagined. The floral arrangements used in our ceremony were stunning, and the centerpieces and decor for the reception were everything that we dreamed of and more! Colonial Florist took our vision to heart and ran with it, and we could not have asked for a better experience!

    Wow - amazing

    Colonial Florist is unbelievably amazing! I am so impressed by the politeness, professionalism, and speed. The owner, Donna, is so incredibly kind and helpful. How she runs her business is how you want a person to run a business. She's caring and super efficient. I am so blown away!

    Fantastic Florals!!!!

    Donna was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! Not only does she create breathtaking floral arrangements, but her attention to detail and genuine care for us as people were truly remarkable. She went above and beyond throughout the planning process—sending ideas back and forth and working so thoughtfully to accommodate my budget. I can’t recommend her enough! I would book her a million times over again.

    The most beautiful flowers

    Donna helped make our vision for our wedding florals a reality. Going in, we knew a few variations of flowers that we wanted in our bouquet and a rough color palette. Thank goodness we found Donna, because she heard our rough description of what we wanted and knew how to turn it into something even more beautiful than what we had imagined. Our budget was small, but we were so pleased with what we got and the level of service quality we received. I highly recommend selecting Colonial Florist for your central VA wedding!

    Gorgeous bouquets, great service

    Colonial Florist was everything I could have wanted for our wedding florist. The process was quick and easy - she guided me through making all the right floral and arrangement choices. I gave a general idea and they delivered a gorgeous and lasting product that was highly complemented at the wedding. To top it off, it was affordable and they delivered everything promptly. I mean, the bouquets really speak for themselves. Highly recommend!

    Wonderful Florist for a Wedding!

    Working with Colonial Florist and Donna was a wonderful experience. We received exactly what we wanted including bouquets, boutonnieres, table greenery/flowers, small bud vases for the cocktail tables, extra flowers for the cake, and candles. Donna was responsive to my emails and phone calls. She spoke with us before we had picked a florist and described what she could do and would recommend. As we got closer to the wedding she was able to make adjustments to the number of table decorations and arrangements we needed and sent me an updated invoice each time. On the day of the wedding, they drove to Leesburg, VA (2 hours away!) to do all of the setup. They returned after the reception was over and cleaned/got their items. The long drive did not cost anything extra. Donna even put live flowers in my cake since my bakery was not able to. I was so happy with how all of the lovely flowers turned out and would recommend Colonial Florist to anyone in search of a wedding florist.

    Colonial Florist & Antiques Brought my Vision to Life

    Donna was amazing and helped my vision come to life for our wedding! She was affordable and extremely flexible by letting me change up the entire floral colors & selections last minute (not that I recommend you do that :) ). She communicated promptly and clearly and helped make the hectic process of planning go smoothly. I'd recommend Colonial Florist & Antiques a million times - the end result of our florals truly completed our wedding day vision!

    Absolutely incredible!

    Donna at Colonial Florist was incredibly helpful, flexible, and accommodating. My husband built a custom beam on which we wanted a large garland of our wedding flowers. We sent the dimensions and a photo of the beam to Donna and the garland she made was a perfect fit and brought our vision to life. I made additions during the planning process and she was very accommodating. She even brought extra greenery and flowers and placed them perfectly to add extra warmth and color. Donna truly exceeded our expectations. I would not have entrusted my wedding flowers to any other florist and highly recommend Colonial Florist.

    Wonderful experience

    We went with Colonial Florist for our wedding after reading all the reviews and were very pleased. Donna was very easy to work with and organized. We gave her our budget up front that I wanted to stay within and she had no problem making it work well - I was impressed with how much we were able to do for a very reasonable budget. She made discussing the goals easy and asked for reference photos for what we were thinking. The flowers turned out beautifully and everyone complimented them the whole night. Highly recommended!

    The fairy godmother everyone needs!!!

    Donna took all my ideas and put together the most mesmerizing flowers and decor for our wedding day. She absolutely blew out all of my expectations and delivered what I can only described as the images of my dreams. There was a moment in the evening where my MOH pointed out certain table details and I am so happy she did that, for it caused me to really take in the masterpiece that Donna put together. The candles, flowers, centerpieces, variations of colors; it was all breathtaking. I truly have no words. Donna made everything seem so simple and effortless, seriously a true queen. If fairy godmothers were real, she would honestly be the closest thing to them.

    Absolutely beautiful

    Donna and team did the flowers for my Charlottesville wedding in JUN 2023. The flowers turned out absolutely incredible. I had a smaller budget, but somehow the flowers looked exactly like the pictures I sent Donna from pintrest and other places. They were amazing to work with and I cant believe how beautiful they turned out

    The Absolute Best!

    Donna and her team are amazing! Florals were not something I wanted to spend a ton of money on and Donna helped me create the perfect set-up/arrangement that was within my budget. She also was super kind, patient, and easy to communicate with! When the day came, I was in awe of how beautiful everything turned out.

    The best of the best!

    I can’t say enough good things about Donna and Colonial Florist! I absolutely loved working with her throughout the wedding planning process and highly recommend her for any floral needs! She is so kind, professional, accommodating and flexible. I made several changes while planning the wedding and Donna was amazing, she offered ideas and honest feedback and it was great to know she had our best interest at heart. I ended up getting my bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, arbor arrangements, flowers for the cake, and vines on the indoor fireplace and everything was gorgeous. I received so many compliments on the flowers and I could not be happier with everything!

    Beautiful flowers

    Donna and the colonial florist team was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. The flowers were beautiful at the ceremony and at the reception. I gave Donna some pictures of somethings I wanted but she took everything to the next level. Thank you, Donna for making the process extremely stress free and providing amazing flowers!

    Seriously amazing florist!

    Hire Colonial Florist. Working with them was amazing. I had a vision for using local florals for my tablescapes and they were able to match my bouquets and decor flowers perfectly. They also showed up on-site to help set up about 1000 bud vases and really help my vision come to life. They were reasonably priced and just such a pleasure to work with.

    Stunning Florals!

    I am still in awe of how perfect the florals turned out for our wedding day! Donna was so wonderful to work with during the planning process and the Colonial Florist team did the perfect job setting up the day. From the bouquets, to the center pieces and the little accents around the venue, the florals were stunning.

    My favorite vendor from my wedding!

    Donna & team was AMAZING from the consultation all the way to wedding day. She was responsive, suggestive, and so easy to work with. Unfortunately I never got to meet her in person on the big day from all the craziness happening, but just from phone calls alone I knew I didn’t have to worry about choosing her as our florist. I am a bride that wasn’t too picky with my vision but had a general idea of what I wanted my flowers to look like and she hit it out of the park! I was so happy seeing the arrangements and got so many compliments. HIGHLY recommend. Thank you so much Donna!

    Amazing Florist!!

    My wife and I got married in March of this year, and we waited to book a florist until just one month before. This could have been a bad decision, but it ended up being great! We found Donna at Colonial Florist, and she was fantastic. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and enhanced the beauty of our wedding day! I highly recommend booking Colonial Florist for your special day!

    Stunning flowers

    GORGEOUS flowers and incredible vendor. We hired Donna for our wedding at the recommendation of our wedding planner. Donna was fabulous to work with and the results were amazing. She really listened to my vision of how I wanted the flowers to drape, the colors, the “vibe” (for me I wanted it to look like I had just picked the most beautiful bouquet of wildflowers and WOW she surpassed my vision) and even particular flowers I wanted in it. She also really worked with us to be respectful of our budget and had great suggestions like reusing bridesmaid bouquets and centerpieces to save money! Donna gave me a preview bouquet to look at and give feedback on months before the big day, which was great for envisioning and helping me pull everything together. As I said the results were incredible: from the boutonnières to the archway flowers to the bridesmaid and bridal bouquets, each detail was carefully done and I was so in love with the flowers day of. Donna is wonderful to work with and I highly recommend her!

    Donna brought the most beautiful wedding flowers of my dreams, and they make every photo pop!

    After speaking with at least a dozen local florists, I decided to go with Colonial Florists for several reasons, and I am SO happy that I did!! From the very beginning, Donna responded in a very timely manner, and was incredibly sweet. She met with me, my mom, and my mother-in-law in person at her adorable shop to go over my vision for the flowers. I also met with her to do a trial bouquet. Each time we met, she was so kind, patient, and incredibly talented at putting together flowers that matched my vision! She puts off warm, kind energy, and you can tell she loves her job! On my wedding day, she showed up with the most beautiful flowers of my dreams, and they make every photo pop! Throughout the process, I made several changes as my vision evolved, and she truly listened to every one to make the final product! I give her my highest recommendation.

    Gorgeous flowers!

    We finally had our wedding in Charlottesville this past May, and Donna at Colonial Florist was such a pleasure to work with--even throughout our COVID postponement and rescheduling. She was completely respectful of my budget and the floral arrangements turned out seriously gorgeous - even better than I had imagined. Would highly recommend.

    Beautiful Spring Florals

    Donna is a masterful florist who's arrangements really brightened up our wedding! She was so flexible and easy to collaborate with for my changing vision for floral design. I appreciated her taking the time to meet with me in person so I could see flower options. That definitely made planning from out of state easier! We picked up our wine barrel and mantle arrangements the day after the wedding and reused them for events the rest of the weekend. They even survived the 4 hour drive home and looked beautiful in our home the week after the wedding. It was a nice takeaway and reminder of the perfect wedding weekend.

    So happy to work with Donna

    Donna was so great - so responsive! Her quote was easy to understand and by far the most reasonable we saw. I'm not really a flowers gal, so I wasn't sure what I wanted specifically, but I sent her reference photos and she was really able to make things more beautiful than I could have pictured!

    Beautifully captured our vision

    Donna was so easy to work with and made me feel at ease that she understood the look I was going for, even if I couldn't quite articulate it myself! I asked for an unstructured fall look, and she absolutely delivered. Everything blew me away, from my bouquet to the arbor to the greenery draping the tables and decor. I didn't know I could feel so strongly about a bouquet, but turns out I had a dream bouquet, and she made it for me, which I will forever treasure.

    Choose Colonial!!!

    Working with Donna was an absolute pleasure. I am one of the most indecisive people I know, and I changed my mind a lot throughout our wedding planning process. Donna was so patient and receptive with every change, and I truly felt that she wanted to make sure everything was perfect. For me, envisioning what my bridal bouquets and floral arrangements would look like on my wedding day was challenging, as I don't know much about flowers and there's not really a trial run you can do like you can with dress fittings, hair and make up and even rentals. I knew I just had to trust Donna to bring my vision to life, simply by just giving her the colors I wanted, and she definitely did not disappoint. Our guests were raving about the floral arrangements days after our wedding was over. We were surprised our flowers lasted over two weeks! We look forward to working with Donna & Colonial Florist in the future and will undoubtedly refer all of our friends and family to her!

    10/10 Wedding Experience

    We cannot recommend Colonial Florist enough! My husband and I originally had a June 2020 date, but because of COVID, we postponed not just once, but twice. Donna was professional and understanding throughout the process, and never made us feel guilty about our decision to postpone. Since we initially planned for a June wedding, I had more pink and fluffy tones, but because we pushed it to September I wanted to incorporate more neutral tones and pampas grass, and Donna did a beautiful job with all the florals! I kept changing my mind a lot (sorry Donna!) and she was accommodating with every request. For example, I initially was going to do an arch full of flowers, and then as it got closer to the wedding, I decided I want pedestals and floor arrangements, and Donna brought my vision to life! Donna also did our rehearsal dinner florals and we could not have been happier. Thank you Donna and team for making our day extra beautiful and special!

    Gives you exactly what you want

    I loved working with Colonial florist. I didn't want a lot of flowers, mostly greenery and Donna was the only florist I spoke to that wasn't trying to move me away from my vision or add a lot more flowers to my budget.

    Her team was so wonderful the day of and added some personal touches to my bouquet like wrapping it in one of my Dad's ties and including a locket with a few photos.

    Stunningly beautiful flowers!

    Colonial Florist provided us with stunning bridal bouquets, as well as floral decorations for a wedding arch, wine barrels, a sweetheart table, fireplace mantle, wedding cake, and baby’s breath for table centerpieces. Donna had me send her few inspiration photos and colors of what I was thinking of, and her final flower arrangements exceeded every expectation I could possibly have. She perfectly brought my dusty blue romantic vision to life! Throughout the planning process, Donna was extremely helpful and flexible, especially after we decided to postpone our big event from 2020 to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We cannot recommend working with Colonial Florist enough!

    Donna is an absolute dream to work with!

    My wedding flowers turned out absolutely gorgeous! I don't know much about flowers but I told Donna my color scheme, theme and sent her photos of different floral arrangements that I liked and she made my vision come to life. Everything from the centerpieces to the bridal bouquet to the ceremony decor was exactly what I wanted. The floral decorations for the arch at my ceremony absolutely blew me away when I saw it for the first time, it was a dream come true. I was so in love with my bouquet that I mailed it off to be preserved and pressed into a portrait to have forever. Donna is so talented, you will not regret hiring her as your wedding florist!

    Thank you so much for this wonderful review!! I really enjoyed working with you and I am over the top delighted you were happy with all your flowers! Wishing you both many years of happiness together!! Best, Donna

    Highly recommended!

    Donna with Colonial Florists was a fantastic vendor to work with during our wedding planning process. She is responsive, patient and really listens to what you are looking for. I don't know very much about flowers but I did know the type of theme that I was looking for. Donna listened and definitely delivered! I made multiple changes throughout the wedding planning process and she made adjustments along the way as requested. She is organized and her experience in the business truly shines through in her work and how she handles the constant changes that can occur with planning a wedding during a pandemic. I couldn't have been happier with my wedding flowers and I would highly recommend you book her for your wedding as well!

    Breathtaking!

    After some unforeseen re-planning due to COVID, we reached out to Donna at Colonial Florist & Antiques on short notice and could not be more pleased with her work! After sending a brief inspiration board, she was able to bring my vision to life. My bouquet was even more beautiful than I could have imagined and I still receive compliments on all of our floral arrangements to this day. She has a keen eye for detail and made sure that everything was set-up exactly as we intended. We would highly recommend her services!

    Beautiful flowers, helpful and friendly!

    Early on in our planning, we had considered doing our flowers ourselves. How hard can making a bouquet or vase arrangement be, right? But then the bride decided she wanted a cascading bouquet and we decided we wanted flowers on the arch at our ceremony site, neither of which we felt comfortable handling ourselves. We chatted with a bunch of florists in the area, getting quotes for just those items and for everything. One of the major reasons we ended up deciding on Colonial Florist was actually Donna’s attitude—she was willing to work with us to make our plans a success, even as we were still entertaining options like doing the setup ourselves to try to cut costs, while some other florists were dismissive or unwilling to even consider such options. Ironically, ultimately, the costs at Colonial Florist were reasonable enough that we ended up just having them do everything anyway!

    Working with Donna was easy. She proposed a variety of flowers that she thought would fit with our general desires, so we could look them up and make sure they matched our vision. We also went into the store once and discussed everything, and we flipped through some catalogs to look at pictures and see if there were any additional flower types we might want. After that, it was hands off (other than confirming numbers) until the week before, when we delivered the wine bottles we planned to use as centerpiece vases.

    The flowers turned out stunning, and the bride’s bouquet and the arch florals were perfect. Donna delivered everything early enough that we didn’t have to stress and could use the bouquets for first look and early bridal party photos. She even left a few complimentary extras for our baker to use on the cake. A lot of our flowers were brought home by guests and lasted for weeks! Definitely a pleasant experience.

    Bringing your floral vision to life

    We were very impressed with the florals for our wedding. I had a specific vision for my wedding and Donna listened and looked at my photos and helped create that vision. She was very helpful and responsive throughout the whole wedding planning process. Colonial Florist set up all the florals the day of my wedding perfectly and everything was so beautiful!

    Wonderful Service and Beautiful Flowers

    Donna and her crew are nothing short of spectacular! From the first phone call contact I knew I would use Colonial Florist for my wedding. Donna worked within our budget, and used the inspiration photos I sent her to provide exactly what I had hoped for. We had several last mi Ute changes due to last mi Ute guest additions and subtractions due to Covid, and Donna took everything in stride and calmed my nerves. I do not hesitate to recommend her!

    Truly fabulous!

    Donna did a fabulous job with our wedding flowers. I didn't really know what I wanted but I had an idea of a vibe - Donna nailed it! She was recommended to me by our wedding planner, (who used Donna for her own wedding!) and I was thrilled with the outcome. We had truly magical flowers for our big day. Thank you, Donna!

    All I Can Say is WOW!!!

    Donna - you are AMAZING!! I know nothing about flowers, and honestly considered not doing flowers because I wasn't sure I wanted to budget for them nor did I think anyone would notice. I chatted with Donna thinking "I'll just have a conversation with her and confirm I don't want flowers"... just wow. I told Donna my budget and shared some of my vision and her response was "of course we can do that!" Donna checked in over the months of planning to confirm my vision, looked at my pinterest boards and honestly when it was all set up I was speechless. Her flowers and greenery brought my vision to life. She set up everything, gave my photographer flowers and greenery for stylized detail shoots, and created the space of my dreams. Choose colonial florists if you want a personalized, beautiful, and stress-free floral experience. I loved Colonial Florist so much!!

    Beautiful Flowers and Decor for 8/22 Wedding

    Donna did a great job with my August 22nd wedding and allowed me to switch to a new date without hesitation when my wedding was postponed due to covid restrictions. I didn't give her a ton of guidance and she did a great job bringing my vision to life. I got compliments all night on the bouquets and other decor. We also rented our centerpieces from her and they were beautiful.

    Simply gorgeous!

    Donna was seriously amazing to work with. It was evident from our first meeting that she knows flowers! Donna was flexible not only when I had new ideas of how to incorporate florals but also when we had to downsize our wedding. On the day of our wedding, I was blown away by what she and her team had put together! She truly brought our vision to life...but made it even better than my Pinterest board!

    A fairy godmother florist!

    OMG Donna is magic!! You can just show her a picture from Pinterest that is remotely similar to what you want and she can make it come to life! Her work on our wedding was absolutely breath-taking. I went in with a crazy idea to drape the ceremony tree with a sash of flowers and she brought it into reality. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

    Florals fit for a fairytale!

    After a brief phone conversation, it was clear to me that Donna was the woman for the job. She was nothing but professional and so flexible with any changes or ideas that I brought up throughout the process. As a bride, you always fear that your “vision” will be misinterpreted. In this case, it turned out to be more than I could’ve ever imagined!! From my stunning bouquet to a heart-stopping mantle (truly!), I will be reliving the images of her hard work for years to come.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am so happy to be able to give you a fairytale memory! Wishing you both many years of happiness together!! Best, Donna

    Colonial florist was a great vendor to work with for our wedding. Donna responded quickly to our inquiry, met with us in person promptly, helped us work within out budget, and went above and beyond on wedding day to make sure it was everything we hoped for. Plus the florals were GORGEOUS and all my friends said they were jealous how gorgeous they were! I highly recommend working with colonial florists for your wedding needs.

    Absolutely beautiful flowers!

    WOW! Absolutely stunning flowers. She gave us flowers that looked exactly like the pictures we showed her. They were so beautiful and SO fresh! Better than I could have imagined. Our boutonnières went missing at some point during the delivery and went unnoticed. Even though it was unclear whose mistake it was, they refunded us the money for the boutonnières and were very apologetic. Highly recommend!!

    Beautiful Flowers & So Nice to Work With!

    I highly recommend Colonial Florist! Donna was so sweet to work with and transformed my loose inspiration into the most beautiful bouquets and centerpieces! She had great suggestions of flowers I had never even heard of that went great with our overall vision. My now husband and I love craft beer and Donna made boutonnieres out of hops for our groomsmen which was such a fun personal touch! She was super responsive and met with me and my parents in person a few times throughout the planning process. We couldn't have been happier with how all the flowers turned out!

    Everything was So Beautiful!

    I reached out to Donna after discovering that all of the "preferred" vendors on the list our venue gave us required high minimums that were beyond what we needed. Donna was very responsive and easy to work with - I explained my vision to her in one phone call and she quickly drafted a proposal which was very reasonable. She was also very amenable to last minute changes - I think I was adding on things after the deadline but she was able to accommodate everything I asked!

    All of her arrangements were SO beautiful. We received so many compliments on how everything looked. I had a fairly specific vision for the tables and it came out EXACTLY as I had envisioned in my head. We decided to add a sweetheart table fairly last minute and I emailed Donna with no specific instructions, only to make it look like it fit with everything else. The sweetheart table arrangement was GORGEOUS - I couldn't believe it when I saw it. Thank you so much Donna!

    Colonial Florist's reply:

    Thank you Courtney! I am so happy you were pleased with everything! It was a pleasure to work with you in creating your vision! I wish you both many happy years together!

    Made beautiful flower arrangements with minimal input

    I don't know a lot about flower arrangements and only gave Donna a vague description of what I was looking for. She was able to put together beautiful bouquets, boutonnieres, and table centerpieces that were exactly what I was picturing. She was flexible with any changes requested and responded quickly.

    I had no idea how amazing our flowers would be, from only an hour conversation, but they were beyond what I wanted. Absolutely gorgeous! And kept well within our budget! 10/10

    Phenomenonal Wedding Flowers!

    Donna exceeded our wedding day flowers in every way! From our overflowing wedding bouquets to the simple boutineers to the lavish candle display on each table, we were overwhelmed by the beauty of our day. Donna was so responsive and kind to work with. She knew what we wanted almost before we did. We will always remember her attention to every beautiful detail!

    Courtney,
    Thank you for this wonderful review!! It was a real joy to work with you and I'm so happy you loved your flowers! Wishing you both many years of happiness together! Best, Donna

    Absolutely stunning!

    I was so happy with my wedding flowers! From the start, Donna was so easy to work with. We only spoke on the phone since I live out of town, but I immediately felt at ease as if I was talking to an old friend. Throughout the whole process, she was flexible, responsive and helpful to the point where I emailed her just a week out from our wedding and asked if she could make a separate stop in dropping off my bouquet on the way to the venue and she agreed. She didn't even charge an extra fee, which I would have happily paid. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous, romantic, fresh and smelled like a dream. I spent the day after my wedding just gazing at the arrangements my mother had brought home. Don't think twice, just hire Colonial! You won't be disappointed.

    Christine, Thank you so much for this wonderful review!! It was and is always my goal to provide the very best for my brides and I am so happy I could come through for you! I wish you both many years of happiness together! Best, Donna

    Stunning Flowers!

    Donna and her team did an amazing job with the floral arrangements for our wedding! She met every expectation I had and she met every request I made! I have to say the flowers even lasted over a week after the wedding! I love that I could enjoy my bouquet on my honeymoon!

    Wonderful!

    Donna from Colonial Florist was wonderful! She worked with us to put together beautiful arrangements within our budget and was extremely flexible with the (many) changes and adjustments we made right up until the day of the wedding. We received so many compliments on how amazing our flowers and décor looked. I can't thank Donna enough for helping to make our wedding day absolutely perfect!

    Carli, Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It was a pleasure working with you for such a special occasion. Wishing you both many years of happiness. Sincerely, Donna

    BEST florist in the area

    We talked to a few florist in the Charlottesville/Harrisonburg area. Ultimately, we decided on Colonial Florist and we're 100% glad that we did. Donna was very polite, flexible, and prompt. She was very helpful from the beginning of the process to the end. Additionally, the flowers were beautiful and a lot of our guests raved about our arrangements! I can't think of anything negative to say about them, I highly recommend!

    Exactly What We Wanted!

    We heard about Colonial Florist at a Bridal Expo and were extremely impressed by the examples provided at the booth. We had talked about doing flowers on our own, but Donna was friendly and really took a huge weight off our minds. We wanted "wildflowers" and Colonial Florist not only had the perfect example to show experience in and understanding of exactly what we wanted, but they were able to work with our price range to ensure that we were getting beautiful arrangements at a price that would work for our budget. We had a HOT summer outdoor evening ceremony and the flowers held up all night and well into the next two weeks after the wedding. They dried really well too! So beautiful and just perfect for us, I didn't want to toss the bouquet!

    Thank you Erin for this wonderful review! It was a pleasure working with you for your special day. Wishing you both many years of happiness together! Best, Donna

    Beautiful Work, Just as I Envisioned

    Donna designed my wedding bouquet and my maid of honor's bouquet for our small destination wedding this May (2019). I was so pleased with both! Since I could not meet with her in person before the wedding we communicated via email. She was responsive and very helpful. I shared pictures of a few ideas and shared color recommendations and loved what she came up with. Beautiful work! They looked like what I was envisioning. Especially loved my bouquet. Thank you Donna!

    This florist is nothing but the very BEST!

    With planning a wedding, you work with many people. I can say with confidence that working with Donna by communicating over phone and email was by far the easiest, most pleasant and fantastic experience that I had. She not only worked with me on the pricing of everything, but I had many edits with the different flowers that I wanted and she worked with me on everything. She was on time for delivery and I was a bit nervous because I had not seen any of her flowers besides the pictures she has posted, BUT the flowers absolutely exceeded my expectations. I was beyond thrilled with how they turned out - they were everything I wanted and more. Donna and staff, from the bottom of my heart - THANK YOU!!!!!! Absolutely & positively FABULOUS!

    Kaitlyn, Thank you so much for this wonderful review!! It was a joy working with you and I am so pleased you were happy with everything. Wishing you both many years of happiness! Best Wishes, Donna

    Perfect, couldn’t have been better

    We couldn’t have been more pleased with donna’s work for our wedding. Everything we asked for, she immediately said “of course” and did a STUNNING job. Boutonnières, bouquets... perfect. When I asked her to make a small flower clip for my hair a week in advance, she did so without hesitation. She made a lovely flower crown for the flower girl and the arrangements we perfect. We were just so impressed. I had sent her a few pictures of our ideas/taste, and she was spot on with her creation. We couldn’t have been happier

    Colonial Florist brought my vision to life!

    Donna with Colonial Florists did an AMAZING job at my June 1 wedding at DelFosse Vineyards. I was and still am blown away by her work. All of the flowers were gorgeous and she truly brought my vision to life. It felt like I was in a fairy tale and I especially loved how she decorated the arbor! Donna was easy to get a hold of and was able to accommodate all of my requests. I would 1000% recommend Colonial Florist to every bride!

    Highly Recommend Colonial Florist!

    I highly recommend using Donna from Colonial Florist for your wedding! She was really easy to communicate with and understand my vision for my wedding from the beginning. I loved the bouquets and centerpieces we ended up with! I also thought she was really reasonably priced compared to other florists in Charlottesville.

    Breathtaking and Budget Friendly

    Colonial Florist is THE florist to choose! A few key reasons:
    First - Donna is amazingly intuitive at understanding what you want. I gave her a brief description and some Pinterest pictures and she knew exactly what I wanted without any further detailed direction/requests. This saves a lot of time and headache for the bride!
    Second - Donna is incredibly organized. She’ll be there right when she says and have everything exactly as she said. This makes it great for planners and bride, etc!
    Third - She is very responsive and responds to emails very quickly and answers any and all questions. Super helpful!
    Fourth - Donna is budget friendly, while still making everything absolutely stunning! You’re not trading in any quality whatsoever but still getting a great price.

    Overall Donna’s flowers have that perfect balance between natural and floral/breathtaking. Her personality is kind, organized, and flexible. I’d recommend Colonial Florist to ALL brides!!!!

    Perfect Wedding Flowers

    Seeing my wedding flowers for the first time was easily one of the highlights of my wedding day. Donna and her team did an amazing job capturing exactly what I wanted based on just a few photos and my clumsy descriptions. Donna is not only a talented florist, but a considerate and thoughtful person. She thoughtfully listened to everything I wanted and made great suggestions. She was very reasonably priced and the end product was absolutely gorgeous. Thank you Donna for everything!

    Wonderful Experience

    Donna and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with. During other phone conversations with florists, I honestly felt pressured and unimportant. Talking to Donna was the complete opposite. She has a wonderful personality, and in one short discussion over the phone she completely exceeded my expectations. Our bouquets were stunning, and the reception blew me away. Donna and her team have such a great vision, and my husband and I are so glad we chose Colonial Florist for our wedding day!!

    Great value and incredibly talented florist!

    Donna was fabulous–a fantastic communicator and she took my vision and brought it to life. The bouquets in particular were exactly what I dreamed of and was so excited when we arrived in our bridal suite to see them. She also did a beautiful arbor of eucalyptus, the boutonnières and also greenery on the tables. Compared to other florists she was extremely affordable and I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Donna and Colonial Florists!

    So grateful for Donna and her team!

    I am so grateful I chose Donna for my wedding flowers! She listened to my vision on our first call and replicated it perfectly. Her arrangements were gorgeous and exactly what I had imagined - it blew my mind how she was able to pull everything together from a phone call and some pictures I sent her. Possibly even greater was her willingness to modify my contract about a million times as I tweaked things over the months leading up the big day. And not once did she sound even the slightest bit annoyed; instead she graciously accommodated each change reassuring me that she wanted it to be perfect for me. When choosing a wedding vendor, it was so important to us that not only did we love what they produced (cupcakes from our baker, images from our photographer, floral arrangements from our florist, etc.) but we loved them as people as well. Donna was so accommodating, so personable, and put me at such ease. I never worried once about my flowers the day of as I had the utmost in Donna. We would highly recommend her and her team!

    Beautiful florals

    Colonial Florist did the bouquets and boutonnières for our wedding and they couldn’t have come out better. We gave them very minimal parameters (colors) and let them pick the flowers, and the results were beautiful!

    Beautiful, fragrant flowers, and flexible on budget

    Donna at Colonial Florist was amazing to work with! We only wanted fresh flowers for wedding party bouquets/boutonnieres, and Donna was the only florist in the Charlottesville area that would do that for us (all the other florists had outrageous minimum spending requirements for weddings). We really appreciated that Donna was willing to work with us, no matter how small our request. She also really listened to what we wanted and made it happen! She was very respectful of our budget concerns and made it work!

    The flowers looked BEAUTIFUL and they were exactly what we wanted. They were also SO scented! I can't normally smell flowers but these were very fragrant! My bridesmaids and I kept sniffing our bouquets because they smelled so good.

    Overall, I would absolutely recommend Colonial Florist!!!

    Colonial Florist's reply:

    Chiara,
    Thank you so much for this wonderful review. I'm so glad you were pleased with my services and flowers. I wish you both many years of happiness!
    Best, Donna
