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!

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!

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 bouquets were gorgeous and everything was decorated perfectly. Highly, highly recommend!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.
