    The most beautiful florals!!

    Karen and hear team were a dream to work with! We got married at Keswick Vineyards in October 2023. They were so helpful in the beginning of the planning process as we didn’t know how to put our vision together. They were able to guide us and help us make some big decisions. They were so flexible when we wanted to make some large additions to our contract a few weeks before the wedding. They quickly updated our proposal and sent us ideas to match what we were looking for. They even went to Keswick a few weeks before the wedding to re-familiarize themselves with the property. During that visit, Karen noticed that one of our plans for the tent entrance might not be ideal and that that we should make some alterations. I was more than happy to go along with what they recommended. The arrangements and tent décor were breathtaking. We had so many compliments on how beautiful the florals were throughout the wedding. The reception at our venue was in a tent (though it is a beautiful, hand stitched tent and not your typical plastic, rented rent). I wanted to make it feel elegant and classy, and they absolutely delivered. The look they created was more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. I unfortunately did not have a lot of in person interaction with the team on the day of, but my dad ran into them while they were setting up and mentioned how kind and professional they were. I would 100% recommend working with Foxtail Cottage if you have the opportunity.

    Beautiful flowers!

    Gorgeous gorgeous flowers!! When we met with foxtail we knew we were in the best hands. They asked what our favorite flowers were.. "Umm pretty ones?" As you can tell we don't know anything about flowers.. They took control and made sure the colors went with our color scheme and the flowers were in season.
    They were so pretty!! So many people complimented us on the flowers and then said we did such a good job.. Don't worry we corrected them to make sure they knew foxtail did it all and we trusted them!!

    Converted Flower Lover

    When it came to flowers for the wedding, I had no idea what I wanted as I'm not a big "flower-loving" gal. All I knew is that I wanted a classic/romantic feel that worked well with the décor and timing of a fall vineyard wedding and that complemented my color palette. As I was not from VA (planning a wedding from NJ), I set up a 30 minute call with Karen and Darby when I first started talking with them in order to review my prioritizes and vision. The conversation was so natural and easy that we found ourselves talking on the phone for 1 hour as I was getting so excited over all the flower options. Karen and Darby put together a proposal which was right up my alley. After a bit of adjusting to come into some updated wedding budgets, the end result was absolutely spectacular. The bouquets were dropped off on time at my mother's house the morning-of and looked amazing in all the photos. I absolutely loved all of the arrangements, as well as the decorations that Foxtail supplied for the reception. If I had to do it again, I would have requested additional structure in the boutonnieres, as some of the groomsmen boutonnieres started falling apart during the photos (after the wedding). Thankfully, my sister-in-law was a pro at fixing them for the photos and it wasn't a big deal at all, as the flowers had served their purpose (looking stunning for all the photos). If you're looking for a talented florist, Foxtail Cottage is it!

    Wonderful to work with and stunning arrangements

    Karen and her team are amazing. I initially met with Karen when I first started planning my wedding and I had no idea what I wanted. Karen guided me and provided her expert advice to help me come up with a vision. She’s talented and tasteful, which shows in her work. The prices are extremely reasonable and Karen does not skimp on anything. Every arrangement I received was luscious and full. My wedding flowers were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined (and more beautiful than anything I’ve ever seen on Pinterest too!). I would recommend Foxtail Cottage to anyone and everyone. They’re the best.

    Beyond your Dreams

    The team here took my Pinterest ideas and made them a beautiful reality. They somehow took a fall wedding idea (had to change date) and made it into the most beautiful spring wedding.

    Gorgeous flowers and seamless planning.

    Karen and the Foxtail Cottage Team are truly the best around. They were easy to communicate with, quick to respond, and really captured my vision for our wedding day florals. We had some last minute addition for our rehearsal dinner that they were so kind to accommodate. We received nothing but compliments about the bouquets and arrangements all weekend. Foxtail Cottage has cultivated an awesome team of artists to help make our wedding beautiful, and the planning process

    Absolutely stunning

    The team at Foxtail have a real gift. I have NEVER seen flowers so beautiful. The mix of flowers within the arrangements, color and composition were magnificent. Everyone was so helpful and kind. Their work is of the highest standard with exceptional creativity. Truly, the end result at our wedding was beyond my wildest imaginings. I would use them again in any capacity - their work always has the 'something extra special' factor.

    Foxtail Cottage was wonderful - I was fortunate enough to have talented family members prepare the majority of our floral arrangements, but I decided to have the bridal and bridesmaids' bouquets (6 in total) done professionally. Even though it was a small order and I only gave them about a month's notice and some vague guidelines to go with a photo I provided, the Foxtail team was so helpful and knowledgeable, and they provided bouquets of my dreams. My bouquet even had a succulent in it that I was able to pot after the wedding as a beautiful green reminder! Thank you!

    Thank you, Sylvie!

    Karen!!!! Thank goodness you called me that day right before I was about to sign another contract. You gave me choices and for the first time I could envision that venue from Karen's quote. She worked very hard to stay within my unreasonable budget, but in the end everything was beautiful. The bouquets were perfect. Everyone complimented how beautiful everything looked. I never got to talk to you at the wedding, but thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Lots of communication too! So great!

    Wonderfully romantic florals! Karen is a genius! My flowers for my June wedding were very very dreamy. I am so glad that I went with Foxtail Cottage because they came up with some truly beautiful florals that I could not have thought up. Karen was also very responsive and professional during our planning stage despite having a finger injury the involved stitches and a car accident! She is very clear on her personal style and my advice to any future brides would be to have a rough idea of what you like and let her do her magic because it was MAGIC!

    Foxtail Cottage Floral is amazing! They provided me with the floral arrangements for my wedding ceremony and my reception, and my bouquet, the bridesmaids' bouquets, and everyone's boutonnieres and corsages. The flowers were all absolutely stunning, and our guests were asking about them all night! We had a gorgeous arbor arrangement for the ceremony, and Foxtail even made me a flower crown! There were flowers everywhere - it made my whole wedding feel like a dream come true. Foxtail Cottage is a fantastic find. They are absolutely worth it!

    The flowers for our big day were spectacular. The team at foxtail did such a great job knowing what our vision was and executing it. I wasn't prepared for just how beautiful the flowers could be! They were easy to communicate with and did a great job getting set up on the big day. I couldn't be happier with the job they did!

    Using Foxtail Cottage for our wedding flowers was one of the best decisions of our wedding (besides marrying my husband, of course)! Karen and her team created beautiful arrangements for my self, the bridesmaids, boutineers, and ceremony and reception pieces! They were so easy to work with and helped my vision come true through their incredible design! We even added extra flowers a week before the wedding and they were so accommodating and helpful in making the day perfect! The delivery team was wonderful too and brought all the arrangements earlier than we expected, making the day run even more smoothly!

    I highly recommend Foxtail Cottage and I am so grateful for all their hard work in making our wedding perfect!

    Karen and the Foxtail Cottage team were an absolute pleasure to work with. She and Grace spent almost two hours meeting with my grandmother and me and discussing our vision for the wedding. They both provided many helpful suggestions, while still staying true to my style and vision. Karen and her team were consistently responsive via phone and e-mail and flexible with some last-minute additions just two weeks prior to the wedding. My day-of coordinator raved about Karen and how friendly and cooperative she was with the other vendors on the day of the wedding. When I saw the reception flowers, my jaw dropped. They were stunning! I especially loved the candelabras she topped with flowers for the King's Table - her suggestion, which I'm so glad we went with! The bouquets were beautiful as well; when I asked for more pale, blush-colored flowers to be added to mine, Karen did not hesitate to make it happen. She is a true professional and I would gladly recommend Foxtail Cottage to anyone who is looking for beautiful flowers for their event.

    This florist does beautiful work. It was so easy. Just sent Karen a picture of the bouquets I wanted and they arrived on the wedding day more gorgeous than I had imagined. We never even needed to meet in person since I was out of the area. I would highly recommend them.

    Karen and the folks at Foxtail Cottage did an amazing job for our wedding!! She spent ample time with us during our planning/booking meeting coming up with arrangements and selecting flowers, when we went in having NO CLUE what we wanted. On the day of, she was prompt with delivery (even on a Sunday, without charging extra to do so), and worked with my coordinator so that I was not even involved in the day of details. The flowers were amazing in quality, and I still have one or the centerpieces looking amazing without any wilting on my tabletop, now 9 days after our ceremony. My bouquet was HUGE, and the bridesmaids were also very sizeable and gorgeous. She even was willing to place flowers on my cake the day of (because my cake company had to deliver the day before the ceremony), and did a wonderful job (even though this is obviously not something she would normally do). I would just say, be sure to order late enough that your numbers are pretty much final, but early enough that she has enough time to order (of course). We ordered months ahead of time based on our number of invites, and were not able to change our numbers of centerpieces when our numbers were very significantly less than projected. This is pretty standard for all companies and did not affect my experience with Foxtail Cottage at all, but should just be something to be aware of when signing a contract. The quality of these flowers and her arrangements were top notch, and were so much more affordable than competitors in this area. Super satisfied and would certainly recommend to brides on their big day!

    We were extremely pleased with the floral designs of Karen and and team at Foxtail Cottage Floral! They worked with us within our budget to plan our wedding ceremony and reception flowers, and the results were exceptional. I could not have asked for a more perfect representation of the theme of purity which we were striving to create. The arrangements were delivered on time, and exceeded our expectations in terms of the beauty. The floral arrangements that we took home stayed fresh so we were able to enjoy them later. We would highly recommend this floral team!

    foxtail cottage is a new florist in the charlottesville, virginia area, and is one to be watched as a true up and comer!! our experience with foxtail cottage as our wedding florist was marvelous. karen, the owner and designer, has an incredible eye and truly unique design aesthetic. i knew generally what feel i wanted and the colors i wanted to use, and karen took my blurry vision and made it into a stunning reality. i absolutely loved the creativity of our centerpieces, which were hand-made from manzanita branches, flowers, and hanging mercury glass votives. many of our guests commented that they had never seen such beautiful and different centerpieces. our personal flowers were also truly lovely.
    karen is very flexible and can be as directive as you need with helping bring ideas to life. at the same time, she is not pushy and is more than willing to incorporate what matters most to you. she is very fair in pricing and was worth every penny. i LOVED working with her for our wedding.

    Simple & High Quality

    Foxtail was so easy to work with and really outdid themselves in the products they gave to us. They were open to my ideas and patient with my early indecisiveness! But they gave to me exactly what I had described. Their florals are nothing short from beautiful and their rentals are truly amazing. I really valued the option of having both florals and rentals like votives, vases, and lanterns. The day of, everything was ready to go for us and it was like they waved a wand and all florals were bright and ready to go! I am so appreciative of foxtail and would recommend them until I'm blue in the face!

    Karen and her team did an incredible job with the flowers at our wedding. We got married outdoors (Grace Estate Winery) in September, and wanted something bright, colorful, and wild. Everything was gorgeous - from the chuppah to the bouquets to the table arrangements. I am so incredibly grateful to her for bringing our vision to life and making our wedding day so special!

    Karen did a great job of capturing our vision for the florals of our wedding! She worked within our budget and offered some good advice to help the centerpieces better match with the linens we had chosen. The final results were absolutely stunning!
