    Stunning Florals & Design

    We knew we wanted to hire Cathy from the moment we met her! She was sweet, personable and was super helpful with turning scattered ideas into a beautiful design! We were supposed to get married outside but unfortunately the rain had other plans. When we walked into our new indoor ceremony site, we were completely blown away! Cathy got creative and ended up giving us the most beautiful indoor ceremony we ever could have dreamed of! I couldn't recommend her more, we loved her!

    Amazing customer service!

    Cathy was a pleasure to work with! She allowed me to go back and forth and worked with me to create exactly what I wanted for our flowers. We’re not local, so she set up to have the flowers delivered to our hotel near the shop. Our boutonnières were accidentally left behind at delivery and when I reached out, she had them brought to me within the hour and was so sincere in her apology. She fixed it immediately and I’m so grateful. The flowers were all fresh and stunning, and exactly what I’d imagined them to be!

    It was perfect

    Cathy was so fun to work with. I loved how excited she was when I got to show her my vision for my flowers and the bouquet ideas I had for my bridesmaids. Thank you!!

    The flowers were gorgeous!

    Cathy Nester at The FLower Cupboard made my daughter's wedding so beautiful! She was easy to talk to and listened carefully to our requests. The flowers on the table were gorgeous as were the bouquets. The most beautifu transformation was the wedding chuppah and the reception room. Everything was lovely. Thank you so much Ccathy!

    Beautiful flowers and amazing service!

    I absolutely loved working with Cathy and the Flower Cupboard. She worked with me all the way up to the wedding making sure she made the perfect flower arrangements and bouquets for my wedding. She was incredibly flexible with timing and worked with me and my budget to make sure I got the most out of my dollar. My bridal bouquet was spectacular and everyone at the wedding was talking about it. I would highly recommend the Flower Cupboard for your wedding!

    The Flower Cupboard provided all the flowers for my daughter's wedding, and they did a magnificent job! Everything from the Bride/bridesmaid's bouquets to the boutonnieres to the corsages to the baby's breath halos to the centerpieces to the Arbor and more! The pieces were just as we discussed but even more beautiful than I hoped! Cathy and her staff were great to work with, and accommodated a last minute centerpiece addition with ease. I wholeheartedly recommend The Flower Cupboard for any and all floral needs!

    Cathy, Amber, and their team were amazing!! Not only are they extremely friendly but very talented! Going into the consultation, I had only a general idea of what I wanted and they were able to pull together my inspiration photos and make the most beautiful arrangements for the wedding! Everyone at Flower Cupboard were so accommodating and were always willing to help anytime I had a question. Not only did I fall in love with my bridal arrangement but all of the arrangements they provided from the bridesmaids bouquets, to the men's boutonnieres, to the corsages for the mother's, and the centerpieces were stunning! I absolutely loved working with the Flower Cupboard and would recommend them to anyone looking for a florist! You will not be disappointed and will became fast friends with Cathy, Amber, and their team!!

    The Flower Cupboard was awesome, Cathy Nester did a great job!!! My daughter knew exactly what she wanted and Cathy made the arrangements for the ceremony and wedding to match her dreams. Cathy stepped in and assisted the wedding coordinator in decorating the ceremony and reception room above and beyond my expectations, a true fairytale wedding.

    Flower Cupboard did a beautiful job with my wedding flowers! Cathy was so wonderful to work with, and was able to create exactly had I pictured for my wedding day. We had a micro-mini budget for flowers, and Cathy did an absolutely amazing job - the bouquets looked absolutely beautiful, and the greenery and baby's breath we used for decoration were perfect. The flowers she used were so beautiful, even the photographer wanted to know where they were from! She was also incredibly helpful when it came to advising for what flowers to pick - I originally wanted hydrangeas, but we ended up using white carnations instead because they were a more "durable" flower (we were worried about the Williamsburg heat!). All of the staff at Flower Cupboard were super accommodating - there was an issue with my bouquet, and they fixed it immediately and brought it right back, looking perfect! I cannot thank them enough, or recommend them more highly. If you are getting married in the Williamsburg/Richmond/Norfolk area, go to Flower Cupboard for the most beautiful flowers you could possibly imagine!

    The Flower Cupboard's reply:

    Thank you Megan, You are so sweet! You were such a pleasure and joy to work with! If all brides could be like you! I am glad we were able to add the greenery to your bouquet.

    The flowers for my daughter's wedding were just perfect! Cathy is wonderful to work with. We felt she really understood what my daughter wanted her wedding to look like. She also made many helpful suggestions that helped to keep the costs down. Finally, we had a moment of panic when one of the flower girl's basket wasn't correct. I called and they immediately brought another basket which solved the crisis. I appreciated so much their quick response. They are the best!!!

    Cathy saw my vision immediately and delivered gorgeous flowers within my limited budget. My bouquet was perfection and I'm only sad that I can't have it fresh every day. I decided about 2 months out to have her do the reception centerpieces (I foolishly had planned to do them myself) and was so pleased with the result. She was able to do them for less than I could buying the flowers wholesale and that was wonderful for my sanity. They were absolutely what I had in mind. Wonderful all around!!

    Cathy Nester is one of those people you meet and instantly trust. My mom and I interviewed three different florists for our Labor Day weekend wedding. We knew Cathy was the right choice as soon as we walked in the doors of her shop. We sat down and started going through my pinterest board- funnily enough, of all the pictures in the universe, the one I pinned and liked the most was a bouquet of hers she had done a year prior. She never tried to sway me in our choices - she only offered options as to how we can make our dreams come alive. My mom was the President of Garden Club and said Cathy chose the highest quality flowers for us and made sure she knew which flowers we did not like so as to avoid them at all costs. I cannot recommend Cathy highly enough. The three quotes we received were pretty similar but the level of service made Cathy a stand out choice.

    I am so happy I chose the Flower Cupboard as my wedding florist. Cathy was a pleasure to work with! I'm not too knowledgeable about flowers, but in my consultation, Cathy put me right at ease. She asked questions to find out what I liked and didn't like and made suggestions. She worked within my budget and the flowers turned out beautifully! Flowers were delivered to my hotel the day of so I didn't have to worry at all. Highly recommend the Flower Cupboard if you have a wedding in the Williamsburg area!

    I knew finding a florist would be a struggle for me as I worked for a florist for years, absolutely love flowers and have very specific taste. I was absolutely over the moon happy when I met with Cathy Nester and booked her on the spot. I came with my pinterest page loaded and all the ideas I had. She patiently listened and gave her feedback since she had done weddings at Ford's Colony before. After my profession of her skills, my mother-in-law also booked her for our rehearsal dinner. Cathy was amazing about ensuring the the flowers wouldn't be the same as the wedding flowers but still could be used in additional areas. She answered our questions, worked with changes (I may or may not have had a few freak out moments about the outdoor flowers) and did so all with an amazing demeanor,

    When the flowers were delivered for both the rehearsal dinner and then the wedding I was beyond excited. The flowers were exactly what I had envisioned and more. I even had guests who I know aren't into flowers make comments about how beautiful they were. I couldn't more highly recommend Flower Cupboard. They really made my day.

    From the initial consultation through to the transformation of the River Room at Two Rivers Country Club on our daughter's wedding day, the floral artistry and depth of design experience of Cathy Nester at the Flower Cupboard was extraordinary. Attentive to the bride's overall concept, flower preferences, and color scheme of sangria and gold, she exceeded our expectations with alternating levels of exquisite floral arrangements at the reception. The arrangements beautifully incorporated the velvet texture of coxcomb and a variety of richly-hued roses, as well as mercury glass vases, candlesticks, and votives. The overall effect was both elegant and vibrant, prompting countless compliments from our guests.

    Cathy is phenomenal! She's wonderful to work with. I didn't want anyone else to do my daughter's wedding except for Flower Cupboard. Cathy knows exactly what you need, she took the time to go over everything and she made the most beautiful flowers for both the wedding ceremony and reception I've ever seen. Everyone who attended were in awe of her talent. We thank her for making my daughter's day so beautiful and special. I highly recommend Flower Cupboard for any occasion of flowers, You'll never go anywhere else.

    Cathy Nester provided absolutely beautiful flowers for our wedding at the Williamsburg Winery. The planning was a pleasure and the product was wonderful for the money. We went through a few revisions as our wedding look changed, and the final product was perfect. We are very lucky to have found Flower Cupboard and highly recommend it to any one looking for gorgeous flowers at a great rate for any event.

    The Flower Cupboard's reply:

    Thank you so much for letting us be a part of such a special day! We enjoyed working with you.

    The Flower Cupboard did a fabulous job with our wedding. All of the flowers were stunning and they really took the time to create beautiful bouquets, boutonnieres, altar pieces, etc. Cathy was great to work with during the planning process. We had an in person consultation to create a proposal and from then on, Cathy was very responsive via email. She follows brides on Pinterest so she can understand your vision and follow along with any changes you make. I found all of the Cathy, Amber, and all the staff very helpful whenever I needed to call. I can't thank the Flower Cupboard enough for setting up my homemade centerpieces (3 hand wrapped wine bottles filled with different flowers in each). All of our guests loved them and the set up was done perfectly. I absolutely recommend the Flower Cupboard for your wedding!

    Cathy is a true floral artist. She provided florals and tabletop decor/accents for one of our wedding events. The guests were blown away by her beautiful work. She matched the color palette I'd requested perfectly and her centerpiece for the foyer was simply spectacular. She brought to life the setting I'd been dreaming of. She's also patient and great to work with.

    Cathy was extremely helpful and saved the day with the flowers for my wedding. I had had a very bad experience with a different florist and was left looking for a new florist at almost the last minute. They were able to give me exactly what I wanted and more at a rate significantly better than the other florist. The other florist insisted things had to be done a certain way, but Cathy was very accommodating and open to my less than orthodox ideas. I absolutely loved my bouquet and all of the flowers for the wedding. The Flower Cupboard has a client for life!
