    Fall Florals of my DREAMS

    Sherry was so lovely to work with! After a few back and forths on my vision for bright, fall florals she took it and just ran with it. The floral arch, bouquets and tablescapes were straight out of Pinterest. My mouth dropped at the first sight - I could not believe how perfect the florals were. They were worth every penny! All of our guests were beyond stunned at how incredible the floral arrangements turned out. Thank you Sherry and Southern Blooms team from the bottom of my heart for making all of my wedding flower dreams come true!!!

    We are so happy that you loved your flowers! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your special day and for trusting us to bring your vision to life. I'm so glad we worked through the changes and came together on such a seasonally perfect palette. One more week and those fall leaves wouldn't have been there, so it all worked out perfectly! xoxoxo

    Creative florals!

    Spectacular!!!! And let me start by saying, I didn't think I cared about florals, until I met Sherry and Pat... But they brought a vision (I didn't even know I had), to life!

    Southern blooms did the flowers for my wedding in October 2019. They took some really loose visions and made some funky, unique, gorgeous bouquets and arrangements! I was in love with the flowers. I had never seen anything like them, but felt like they fit right in.

    Pat and Sherry were so flexible and creative, they were a dream to work with. I was humbled by their thoughtfulness in how to reuse the florals throughout the night. They are honest women, who do amazing work. Further, I emailed them almost daily in the days leading up to the wedding, adding and changing last minute items... they rolled with all the punches!

    I cannot recommend these gals enough!

    You are so sweet! We loved working with you and wish you such a happy future together. Thank you for choosing us to be a part of your special day!

    Exceeded my already high expectations!!

    Southern Blooms exceeded my already high expectations. I had hired them based on their excellent reputation and they certainly delivered! The flowers at our wedding were stunning - they really transformed the entire space. Guests are still talking about how beautiful everything was. Pat and Sherry are wonderful people to work with and were great at listening to what we wanted and then making our vision a reality. Everything looked perfect and we couldn't have been happier.

    Jennifer - Thank you for the sweet note! It was such a pleasure to be involved in your wedding and we are so glad that you loved your flowers. We loved bringing your vision to life!

    The most beautiful flowers we could have ever imagined!

    We were thrilled to work with Southern Blooms. They were a pleasure to work with from the beginning (happy to adjust our orders as small details changed leading up to the big day) and WOW were the flowers amazing. We received SO many compliments from our guests. I didn't realize floral arrangements could have such an impact on our wedding -- but they did. And we will treasure our photos of their arrangements as well as the pressings that I am so glad we ordered.

    Southern Blooms provided our bouquets and boutonnieres, and they were absolutely perfect. They accommodated certain special requests, and were incredibly responsive throughout the planning process. Delivery on the big day was prompt and seamless. We appreciated working with Pat and her team. Thank you for everything.

    This was one of my favorite parts of wedding planning and the big day. We absolutely LOVED everything about our experience with this company and Pat and Sherry. My mom and I got to have a meeting with them to discuss our floral preferences and it was one of the most fun conversations we had during wedding planning. We felt as if we all left as friends. They were an absolute JOY to work with. As far as their flowers? Pure artwork - every creation they did for us was absolutely beautiful. The flowers had me speechless on wedding day. You have nothing to fear when you hire Pat & Sherry to provide the florals/greenery for your wedding day. They took my vision and made it even better than I could have imagined. Our pictures are absolutely gorgeous. I wish I could have kept all of the flowers forever. Can't speak highly enough of them! There's nobody better in the area and they are worth every penny!

    Southern Bloom by Pat's Floral Design is hands down THE BEST FLORAL DECISION YOU'LL MAKE. They're easy to work with, quick on communication, and put together the most beautiful floral arrangements I've ever seen. Working with Pat and her team was a dream -- they knew exactly what we wanted to see and really brought our ideas to life, far exceeding our expectations. I've received soooo many compliments on my florals, and in particular, the chuppah! They made my wedding an absolute dream.

    Unbelievable. I could not have asked for more beautiful flowers for our wedding. They were great to work with, offered excellent suggestions based on our interests, and executed it perfectly. They were able to provide us with some additional furniture rentals which was an added bonus to avoid an extra delivery fee had we needed to do it with another vendor. There is a reason these guys are featured in so many magazines! So beautiful!

    If you want a genuine, kind, talented, dedicated group of individuals look no further. Pat's floral design is amazing! They took the time to meet with us, capture our personality and work small details into the wedding design to make everything just perfect! They literally tied figure eight knots into the bridal bouquet to help highlight our passion of rock climbing (they also added rope detail into the groom and groomsmen boutonnieres). They obviously really care about the work they do and it really shows in their flawless execution. They were a joy to work with and helped make our wedding absolutely perfect! Thank you!

    Easily one of my favorite vendors that we had! Not only were the ladies at Southern Blooms the sweetest people ever, but they have such an incredible passion for what they do and understand your vision. This should say a lot-- I trusted them so much that I told them my colors and generally the flowers I liked and let them do the rest--I told them I wanted them to come up with all of the centerpieces with whatever they thought and they absolutely blew me away! See the video of Lauren & Brandon for details (by Ian's Creations). Can't wait to see all of the pictures!

    Choosing florals for our wedding was one of the most important priorities alongside choosing a photographer and venue and I promise you Southern Blooms does NOT disappoint! I knew we were in good hands from our very first meeting and I really enjoyed visiting their gorgeous new show room where they have tons of rental pieces to choose from. Pat and her team are so sweet, laid back and easy to talk to, they are incredibly professional and you can tell they truly love what they do! Not only were they able to keep us within our budget by giving us lots of ideas such as re-using some of the ceremony flowers during the reception, but they also completely brought my vision to life better than I could have ever imagined! I had originally planned for a gorgeous floral arbor for our outdoor ceremony, but due to the rain we had to execute our Plan B and have our ceremony indoors. Southern Blooms was able to create two large STUNNING arrangements instead of the arbor at the last minute that looked as though we had always planned it that way! Our wedding was breathtaking with all the greenery and pretty florals and I highly recommend Southern Blooms to any future brides-to-be!!

    Kelly - You are so sweet! Thank you for your wonderful review. We loved working with you and wish you all the best in your new lives together! They say rain is good luck on your wedding day!

    Southern Blooms (Pat's Floral Designs) was the perfect choice for my wedding at The Inn at Willow Grove in Orange, VA. They were experienced and knew my venue and what would look best. They also helped me decide how to reuse some flowers like the ceremony arrangements and bouquets to help decorate the reception. They have a beautiful new showroom space full of great rental pieces that helped me polish the look and feel of our wedding. I also rented two gorgeous farm tables from them to use as our head table. They were available to answer questions and were punctual about delivery and set-up. After having seen the work they had done on other area weddings, I knew I was in good hands and did not have to worry. They took the color palette that I chose and some notes about my favorite flowers and then worked their magic! I would recommend them to anyone!

    Thank you Emily for your kind review! We really enjoyed working with you on your special day and love to hear feedback on your experience with us!

    Southern Blooms (Pat's Floral Design) did an absolutely amazing job with the flowers for my June wedding in Keswick, VA. The ladies were so easy to work with and SO SWEET. They immediately understood my color preferences and design aesthetic, and worked with me to select beautiful vases and table elements that really brought the design of our wedding together. On the wedding day, my jaw actually dropped when I saw the bouquets and table center pieces!

    Camryn, thank you for your review! We are always so glad to hear about our brides experiencing that "wow" moment - it means a lot to hear you had that moment and thank you for allowing us to take part in your special day! We wish you all the best!

    Pat's is absolutely the best! After one meeting they were able to create incredible centerpieces, arrangements, an altar archway, and the most beautiful bouquets you've ever seen that all perfectly blended with my vision. The ladies at Pat's are some of the sweetest and most generous in the wedding business and they are SO talented! PLUS they have an amazing barn full of every decor item you could think of (we used candelabras, votives, etc.) that add that extra zing! Whether you are having a rustic, more organic wedding or a luxe fete I am certain that Pat's will give you the flowers of your dream!

    Lindsay was simply a joy to work with! She took our vision and our budget and made it work. The flowers were just incredibly beautiful! She exceeded our expectations and everything was perfect!! Our guests raved about how elegant everything looked. I was concerned when looking for a florist that once they showed you their previous work and you pointed out what you liked, that you would get a "cookie cutter" design based on color palate. Rest assured, that is not what you get with Pat's. It was completely tailored to our vision and style. We could not be more pleased and would definitely recommend them!

    The fresh fall flowers of the "Southern Blooms" design selected for my bouquet & my groom's boutineer were absolutely beautiful. The flowers were so fragrant and added the special touch to our special day.

    We chose Pat's based on their fantastic reputation. Pat and Sherry absolutely exceeded expectations, and everything they delivered was top-notch. They've been doing this for a long time and had lots of great tips for what in-season flowers to use as well as how to re-use flowers during the course of the day to save money. They do amazing work and are simply the best florists in the Charlottesville area.

    Pat and Sherry were professional, responsive and accommodating during the entire process. They accommodated a special ribbon request and were responsive to numerous changes up until wedding day.

    We received numerous compliments both during and after the reception about the flowers. We would absolutely use them again and would enthusiastically recommend them to friends and family.

    Pat, Sherry, and their team are incredible! We worked with them for our wedding and rehearsal dinner in May 2013. From the moment we first had a consultation with Pat, I knew we didn't need to look any further. Their work speaks for itself but to top that off, they are so friendly and nice. It was so comforting to know that all of our florals would show up the day of and be absolutely beautiful - this is incredibly important when picking a florist! They were constantly willing to come out to our venue (which was our home) for site visits to ensure everything would be set up correctly the day of - we really appreciated this. The flowers lasted and never got droopy which I have noticed at other wedding tends to happen with bouquets especially ones with hydrangea which ours had. As well, they have the most beautiful farm tables available to rent which really add to the decor. We are so thankful we found them and I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!

    Pat and Sherry were the greatest to work with for my daughter's wedding. They took time to meet with us and find out what we liked and did not like. The bridal bouquet was perfect- beautiful with peonies, hydrangeas, and sahara roses. The bridesmaids bouquets were also beautiful- perfectly matching the dresses. The centerpieces for the seated dinner at Farmington could not have been more lovely. We planned half low centerpieces and half tall. They had gorgeous silver candelabra which we used and put flowers in the center of it. The room looked beautiful. We could not have been more pleased. I would highly recommend them!

    Pat's Floral Designs did all of the flowers for our wedding. They were everything we could have asked for and more! We even ordered a garland for my daughter to wear as the flower girl and she looked absolutely perfect with this flawless addition. We were very delighted with the care that went into each piece - from the bride's bouquet to the bridesmaid's flowers and the family boutonnieres.

    From the Groom... Pat was amazing. We had started working with another Florist, but had to leave because it wasn't working out. Pat took us on and made my bride feel amazing about the floral arrangements that weren't decided upon and to be done in 3 more months! We were on a budget and she went back and forth with the bride until she found something that worked. The bouquet was a work of art and everyone commented on how beautiful it was. They rented us some lanterns and other things for things for the center pieces that made the tables look amazing.

    Pat's Floral Design was great to work with! I didn't have specific flowers I wanted other than some roses and wanted my colors incorporated. Pat and her team used their creativity and came up with all of my bouquets which were beautiful and an amazing floral decoration which they put on an arbor that my parents made that we got married in front of. It was very beautiful and we will have those pictures forever! I would definitely recommend Pat's Floral Design to other brides.

    Pat and her team were amazing. I absolutely LOVED my flowers. They took the time to understand my color palette, what design elements I liked and gave me the most beautiful flowers for my wedding day. My budget was definitely smaller (unfortunately), but they helped me figure out how to reuse flowers from the ceremony at the reception to maximize every dollar. Better yet, the bouquets that put together for me looked like top-dollar creations. Pat and her team are friendly, professional and helpful. I can't recommend them enough!

    Pat's Floral Designs was the first wedding vendor my husband and I met with, and we were so happy we did! Immediately, Pat and Sherry made us feel at ease with their combination of creativity, professionalism, and warmth. They were a huge part of the overall design process, suggesting interesting pieces in addition to floral elements. Meetings with Pat and Sherry were fantastic--they made us even more excited about the big day.

    My husband and I had a general idea of what kind of flowers we wanted, but for the most part we let Pat and Sherry work with what they thought was lovely and appropriate to our theme. As a result, everything looked gorgeous and matched perfectly with the other decor elements. It was great to know that we could let Pat's Floral Designs work their magic and everything would turn out beautifully.

    Pat's Floral Designs is way more than just a florist. Pat and Sherry have an amazing attention to detail and an eye for beauty.
