The sweetest service and beautiful flowers!!
It was an absolute joy working with Verde Florals for our wedding last month!! I first got in contact with Rosie last year to request a quote on our wedding flowers. She was so kind and responsive as we worked closely together to come up with a proposal that was within our price range while making sure I had plenty of flowers throughout the spaces! The flowers were delivered to our wedding venue just as scheduled and were absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Rosie absolutely brought my vision to life and I was so thrilled with the outcome. She also went above and beyond by providing additional florals for me to pick up ahead of time to be used in our flat lay pictures! I cannot recommend this florist enough! -

Would choose Verde every time!
Rosie did the most amazing job on our wedding! From the beginning, it felt like she was a partner who was just as excited about our vision as we were. She was flexible as we changed our minds about different arrangments and she executed everything beautifully. She also made it easy for us to move and repurpose the arrangements and we felt the cost was very reasonable for everything we received. -

10/10 blew me away - BONUS local and sustainable!
Rosie at Verde Natural Florals created the stunning florals and greenery for our wedding last weekend. During planning, I had a few "non-artistic regular person" descriptors in mind - earthy, texture, movement, Tuscany. You know, helpful stuff. Well, Rosie took my wedding palette and poorly verbalized vision and DELIVERED at a level I did not know existed. Everything she touched turned to gold, and green, and ivory, and pink, and copper, and ... (you get it). She was kind, patient, easy to communicate with, and TALENTED. I don't plan to get married again, but if I do, I would choose Rosie and Verde Natural Florals every single time! -

Stunning Flowers & An Amazing Experience!
Rosie created the most beautiful flowers we could have imagined for our wedding! We knew early on that we wanted to work with her, as she had done the flowers for a family member's wedding and we had been blown away by them. Luckily she was available for our day, and from there it was an easy and enjoyable process. We came in with a tricky position of knowing what we would and wouldn't like when we saw it, but unable to articulate that well, plus both of our moms like flowers and had opinions as well. Rosie listened and took all of our random trains of thought, plus our inspiration images, and created arrangements and bouquets even better than we could have tried to describe! When we all arrived at the venue, we really could not stop exclaiming about how beautiful everything was.
On top of that, she was extremely responsive and easy to work with. She also helped us think through our setup and what could make sense for our wedding site when we were stumped.
Could not recommend Verde Natural Florals more highly! -

Loved Verde Natural Florals!!
Rosie did my wedding flowers and rehearsal dinner flowers. I couldn’t be happier with them, she listened to what I wanted and offered insight into what would be in season and work with my vision. We also had a venue change two months before (and then had to move the ceremony inside because of rain) and she still made the flowers look incredible! I probably had more last minute requests than the average bride and Rosie answered all of my questions. My mother-in-law also added rehearsal dinner flowers at the last minute and she still made it work. She’s so nice and patient. I’m so glad we booked her.
Also, brides, order a wedding bouquet preservation kit BEFORE your wedding. I forgot to and I’m so sad that I won’t be able to look at this beautiful bouquet forever (oh well, that’s what wedding pictures are for). -

Exceptional Experience
Rosie at Verde was a complete pro from start to finish. Flowers can be a nerve-wracking part of the planning process as you don't truly get to see the end result until the day of. When my bridal party and I walked into our bridal suite and saw Rosie's work, I was blown away. She had taken all my notes and ideas to heart and transformed them into absolutely breath-taking results. She also couldn't be nicer during the process. For someone who sought a personalized, thoughtful ceremony for my guests to experience, I couldn't have asked for a better partner in making this happen than Rosie. -

Rosie Is Amazing!
We used Verde Natural Florals for our wedding on 10/30 and Rosie was an absolute rockstar. She executed my vision so perfectly and I will cherish my amazing bridal bouquet for years to come. We also used them for our rehearsal dinner. Rosie was willing to work with me on my budget and allowed pickup so that I could lower our price within what I was more comfortable spending. She was communicative and was super gracious about all the changes we made over the year and a half before our wedding. Definitely book Verde! -

Gorgeous Florals and Amazing to Work With
Rosie is the best! We were initially interested in Verde Natural Florals because of their sustainability practices, but the beautiful florals and greenery really pulled us in. We provided Rosie with an inspiration photo or two for color reference and let her run with the rest and everything was stunning! She was also incredibly helpful and understanding when working with us around COVID delays and met with us a couple of times at our venue to talk through things. The florals were our main decoration focus and we got comments all night about how beautiful everything was! -

Couldn't Be Happier!
We absolutely loved working with Verde Natural Florals! We did a pick-up order and she gave us lovely bouquets for myself and my four bridesmaids. We wanted yellow to be a pop of happy color against the blue of the bridesmaids dresses and wow did she deliver! They looked stunning, and very wildflower-y just like we discussed! I couldn't have been happier with our flowers! -

Beautiful, unique florals
I ordered my wedding bouquet and two other bouquets from Rosie for our microwedding. I let her know that I was really interested in sustainable florals where possible (this was in February!), and had the added challenge that my wedding skirt was a deep pink. With that bit of guidance and a photo of the skirt in terrible lighting, Rosie's creativity shined - she created such unique arrangements, all locally sourced & using some dried components, that coordinated with my outfit perfectly. My bouquet is the first thing everyone comments on when they see pictures: "Wow, your flowers are GORGEOUS." To top it off, she was professional, so easy to work with, and lovely all around. -

My Wedding Flowers
Sandy did an awesome job with my flowers. She really took the time to come out to the venue and get to know me and my then husband to be to see what we were all about. I knew that she was the right one for the job right from the beginning. She knew exactly what I was looking for when it came to all the flowers and she definitely delivered the most beautiful arrangements! I couldn't have picked a better person to have done my flowers! -

Sandy is incredibly talented and made my wedding vision come alive! I sent her a few photos from my pinterest board and from there she was able to create the most beautiful arrangements and bouquets for my wedding. I absolutely loved the natural, soft look of the flowers and she was able to coordinate the colors with my bridesmaid dresses and other color themes. She is very responsive and had a lot of suggestions based on her years of experience, which was super helpful for me having virtually no experience with floral arrangements. -

Sandy Goodson of Verde Natural is an artist with floral arrangements. The most magnificent arrangements I have seen at the reception and all our guests agreed. The flowers for the bridal party, church and even the pews were just spectacular. This is our second wedding using Sandy and her talents continue to amaze. Reasonably priced and we couldn’t be more pleased. A real professional. We used her services in Charlottesville and Richmond. -

Sandy was wonderful, available, thoughtful, and professional during the planning and setup for our big event. Most important, her floral creations were stunning, distinctive, durable, and appropriate for the event and season. The prices were very reasonable, even when we made some last-minute additions for the outdoor ceremony. We'd definitely be happy to work with her again. -

Sandy is AMAZING at what she does. I felt like I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted for flowers and she took my vision and delivered in very way! I received SO many compliments on my bouquet and all the ladies wanted to bring flowers home. They were BEAUTIFUL! We worked to order a ton of flowers that my bridal party arranged and she was VERY generous in what was provided. Perfect. Perfect. PERFECT! -

Sandy Goodson's flowers are AMAZING! We wanted very natural looking flowers to match our outdoor venue. My husband loved his boutonniere as it had a succulent in the middle with natural sprigs of twigs and grass...very unique. The wedding bouquet had big sunflowers mixed in with natural grasses in a natural, free flowing shape. Sandy drove to our location to drop off flowers, which was so sweet as we were overwhelmed with other wedding details. Such a sweet, and talent lady! We couldn't have been happier with our flowers.

Sandy Goodson of Verde Natural Florals helped us come up with the most lush, artful, fresh designs for my daughter's wedding. She put together very sophisticated bouquets, boutonierres, table and arbor arrangements. She is so talented! -

Sandy was beyond wonderful! She was not only easy to work with, responsive, and fun, but our flowers looked AMAZING! People still mention (3 months later) how beautiful our centerpieces were! When we met with Sandy she knew exactly what we were looking for and made it happen within our budget. Thank you so much, Sandy!!! -

I loved working with Verde Natural florals for my big day, Sandy was AMAZING! My bouquet for my wedding in August was breathtaking, I gave her my wedding colors and told her to surprise me! I had no idea what it looked like until a few hours before the ceremony, and it was gorgeous!
She also made floral arrangements for the seats on the ceremony which were then moved to the tables at the reception which was extremely convenient and helpful for us! If you are looking for a florist for your wedding, stop looking, Sandy is perfect! -

I feel very fortunate to have worked with Verde Naturals for our June wedding. Sandy was a pleasure to meet with, and her warm manner and creative thinking inspired confidence from the start. Understanding our budget, our love of late spring/early summer, and the look and feel we were seeking, she helped us imagine the big picture, and she delivered exactly what we had hoped for. Her arrangements looked fresh, vibrant and simply enchanting!
She composed beautiful combinations of blooms we already knew, combined with other varieties she introduced to us, which I now also love. Now, whenever I see these new favorites (such as yarrow and maidenhair fern), thanks to Sandy, I think of Josh's and my wedding day! In particular, I loved the braided garland of herbs and greenery that she created as our length-wise centerpiece for our head table; it looked chic, romantic and yet down-to-earth -- just perfect for this intimate affair. Verde Naturals did a fantastic job, and my family and I are very thankful. -

Sandy did a fantastic job with the flowers for our wedding. Everything was stunning and elegant, capturing my vision of a romantic garden aesthetic perfectly. A number of guests actually commented specifically on my bouquet.
Throughout the planning process, Sandy was a pleasure to meet with and was very receptive to all of my ideas and requests, even incorporating two special family vases into our arrangements. -

We are so so so thrilled we worked with Sandy for our wedding at Keswick Vineyards. At the outset of wedding planning, flowers were not something my fiance and I had thought much about and we decided to keep the flower budget small (relatively) for our outdoor wedding. After emailing a bunch of florists and meeting with a couple of them, we decided to go with Sandy, and we hadn't even had a chance to meet in person. She was responsive by phone and email, assured us we could have beautiful flowers within our budget (whereas some florists wouldn't even work with us because we didn't meet their minimum budget), and came highly recommended by our wedding planner. After a few months of drooling over wedding blogs, I started to develop a pretty clear vision of the flowers I wanted, but I was worried the "look" would be too expensive. Sandy offered excellent suggestions, helping us spend our money in the right places. On the day of, I was completely overwhelmed by how amazing the flowers were. She absolutely nailed the elegant and romantic look we were going for and was such a delight to work with! -

We recently got married at a vineyard in Charlottesville, VA in early March and Sandy of Verde Naturals did an INCREDIBLE job!! Sandy was recommended to us by our wedding planner, and from our initial interaction, Sandy was an absolute joy to work with. Sandy is super responsive and responded to my emails almost immediately. Before we met, I sent Sandy some photos of flower arrangements I liked and she was immediately able to tell my style and recommended which flowers would be best to use. This was so wonderful because I knew nothing about flowers (and still don’t) so I felt instantly relieved that Sandy picked up on these things right away. Sandy asked a lot of questions to get a feel for the rest of the decor, the colors my bridal party would be wearing, etc. to make sure that the flowers would compliment the overall theme and design of our wedding. Besides showing her a few photos, telling her my budget, and noting that I wanted to use big flowers that were in season, Sandy took it from there! As the wedding got closer, Sandy checked in with me to make sure I hadn’t changed my mind - and I did end up making a minor tweak to the colors as the wedding got closer, which was not an issue at all! When Sandy showed up on our wedding day with my bouquet and bridesmaids bouquets - I CRIED tears of joy!! The flowers were absolutely stunning and more beautiful than I could have imagined. The rest of the floral arrangements were equally gorgeous and I received TONS of compliments from guests on how beautiful they were. After the wedding, every person that has seen wedding photos has commented on how gorgeous my bridal bouquet was, as well as the rest of the floral arrangements Sandy put together. I can’t thank Sandy enough and am so thankful we chose her as our florist. Besides being incredibly talented, Sandy is a wonderful person and I would absolutely recommend hiring Verde Naturals to any Bride-to-Be!

It is my pleasure to write this review for Sandy Goodson of Verde Natural Florals. All I can say is “WOW”. We were married in November, and I wanted my flowers to be full of the vibrant autumn colors I love so much. After meeting with Sandy to discuss our vision, we knew we were in good hands. I loved my bouquet so much—and my bridesmaids’ bouquets complemented their dresses perfectly. The centerpieces Sandy created for our reception added such beautiful color and vibrancy to the room. We received so many compliments on how amazing the flowers were. I can honestly say they were the most stunning flowers I’ve ever seen. Aside from being a fantastic florist, Sandy is a lovely person. Her warm personality and friendly demeanor made working with her a wonderful experience. I only wish I could give her a hug and tell her in person how happy I was with the pieces she created for my wedding day. Thank you so much, Sandy! -

Sandy Goodson and Verde Natural Florals are fantastic! My husband and I were recommended by our day of coordinator to Sandy. From the beginning we were very pleased with her professionalism. Sandy was flexible and very attentive to our needs. Our wedding was held at the UVa Chapel, with a reception at Alumni Hall. We wanted our style and decor to be "UVa" with orange and blue tones. After meeting with Sandy, she had excellent suggestions to keep costs lower by using in season spring flowers all within the orange and white families with 'pops' of blue. Our guests complimented the fresh floral centerpieces and my husband and I were very happy with the wedding party flowers. My favorite flower is the tulip and Sandy did an amazing, full bouquet of all white and orange tulips for my bridal bouquet. We were able to bring our own vases for the guest tables and drop them off when we were already in town. My husband and I highly recommend Sandy and the Verde Natural Florals team! -

Sandy did an amazing job with the flowers. I wanted gardenias as the main flower and we had a winter wedding theme. She listened to what I wanted and gave me something so beautiful. The two large arrangements for the front of the church were amazing and we reused them at the reception. The table settings were small and delicate and exactly what I wanted. The cake topper was just gardenias and absolutely beautiful. Not only were the flowers gorgeous but the price was right and Sandy was so nice and easy to work with. Definitely would choose them again. Was very pleased! -

Sandy from Verde Natural Florals was a pleasure to work with which made the experience fun and easy! Even with me being based in NYC and Sandy in Charlottesville, it was easy to have calls with her so we could discuss our vision for the wedding. We communicated easily over phone, email and through many pictures. I had a Indian and Traditional wedding. Sandy had only done a few Indian weddings before, but she fully embraced the culture and did lots of research on Indian weddings which I thought was very nice and professional. The flowers were amazing the day of the wedding. Sandy is someone you can trust and that was very important to me. I felt like she new exactly what I wanted and that showed the day of the wedding. I loved working with her and would highly recommend her to any bride! Everything from the flower garlands she made for the Indian ceremony to the flower elephants she constructed, made our wedding so beautiful. Thank you Sandy :) -

Sandy's work is outstanding! We can't speak highly enough of our experience with her. After just one in-person meeting, exchanging emails here and there, and sharing my Pinterest page, she captured the look I wanted to the tee. Actually, it was even more beautiful than I pictured. We did not have a very generous flower budget, and she was incredibly respectful of that, never tempting us to go beyond the budget. She was very flexible as our order changed a bit a couple of weeks before the wedding. On top of that, she is incredibly lovely to interact with. Even among our many wonderful vendors, she stood out. -

I cannot begin to explain how amazing Sandy is at creating beautiful flowers for every aspect of weddings! When my husband I met with Sandy, my vision consisted of a rustic, fall vineyard wedding. Sandy took my vague ideas and turned the wedding into an amazing Fall Fantasy Wedding (per many of our guests!). To honor my late Jewish grandmother, we decided to incorporate some Jewish traditions into our ceremony. Sandy and her husband built the most beautiful Chuppah! She even used my parents lace clothe that was purchased on their honeymoon. I had no specific flower requests and left these decisions to Sandy depending on what looked gorgeous and was local to the area. Sandy's bouquets and boutonnieres were stunning and incorporated gorgeous autumn flowers and berries. She even designed our centerpieces by providing gorgeous glassware for her flowers and bark pieces. I absolutely loved working with Sandy, especially when we needed to make last minute changes two weeks before the wedding. You will not be disappointed with her amazing work! -

I absolutely cannot say ENOUGH good things about Sandy!!! When we first met with her, she was so sweet and recognized our vision immediately. She gave me great alternatives for flowers that would be in-season during the time of our wedding and always responded to my many emails :). I'm from South Africa, so I had asked for proteas (native to S.A.) but would not have been upset if she wasn't able to get them... lo and behold, on our wedding day, I saw a protea not only at our altar but on every single centerpiece! They were BEAUTIFUL. I was also absolutely in love with all the flowers, especially my BOUQUET! Omg, it was absolutely gorgeous and EXACTLY what I had asked for! Everything was so, so perfect - and we received so many comments about the flowers. She also has an AWESOME collection of old bottles, mason jars, and vases, so that was really handy since we wanted mismatched bottles on each table :) Sandy is just beyond awesome and we HIGHLY recommend her!!!! -

I can't praise Sandy and Rosie at Verde Naturals enough! First of all, BEAUTIFUL flowers, I received so many compliments on them at the wedding. Additionally, Sandy and Rosie provided excellent service and advice, quick response time for all communication, were extremely professional and had extensive experience working in Charlottesville weddings. I always felt like I was in the hands of experts, and that everything would be marvelous as long as I told them what I was envisioning! Also their work is an excellent value for money - their prices were extremely reasonable for wedding flowers (and besides being less expensive than those at my friends' weddings, they were prettier too!). If you're looking for a florist for your wedding, Verde Naturals should be your immediate choice! -

I loved working with Sandy and Verde Natural! Sandy is very friendly and open to ideas as well as helpful if you're looking for cost-cutting suggestions. She was wonderful to work with and my flowers turned out GORGEOUS! Not only were they better than I ever expected, but they were also very affordable. Highly recommend! -

Sandy was the sweetest, most easy-going but hard-working florist and vendor I've ever met and worked with. Upon our first wedding meeting, she was very responsive to my ideas and provided great ideas of her own. She came back to me with a proposal that was under my budget, and worked with me as my ideas and our numbers changed. She was totally flexible, responsive, sweet, and easy to work with. She has a great attitude, loves what she does, and it shows in her work. Her flowers, the bouquets, and boutineers that she provided for my wedding were one of the best parts of the day. They were absolutely beautiful - vibrant, colorful, textured, and just as I'd imagined. I had absolutely confidence that she would do amazing things, but she exceeded my expectations in every way. She really made my wedding vision come to life, and I am so grateful to her. My mom took the ceremony flowers home with her when we left for our honeymoon, and is still enjoying them, almost two weeks later. I would recommend Sandy to anyone for any reason and would work with her again in a heartbeat. She is one in a million! -

Sandy at Verde Natural Florals did an absolutely amazing job for my wedding. We only consulted over the phone and via email, but she showed up with flowers EXACTLY as we'd discussed and I'd invisioned. They were just beautiful. She offers a great service, at a great price. -

Sandy was awesome!! She was super sweet on the phone and went out of her way to meet me to pick up her payment when I forgot to send it out due to a crazy work schedule!! Her flowers were absolutely beautiful and the bouquets once in water are still alive two weeks later!!! She knew I had a small budget for flowers and she made sure to work within that and also help me figure out some extras that I wanted and where my money was best spent!! -

Sandy provided the flowers and centerpieces for our wedding this past Saturday and she did an incredible job. The tablescapes that she created were exactly as I had pictured them (based on pictures I had seen on a wedding blog) and the flowers were gorgeous. Sandy listened to what I wanted and made sure that the arrangements she created reflected my taste. Her prices are reasonable and she's very easy to work with. -

Sandy created gorgeous centerpieces and bouquets for our wedding! Admittedly, we went over-budget on some other aspects of our wedding, so by the time we got to flowers, I was seriously considering doing them myself (which I'm SO glad I didn't do!). I really wanted dark blue and white hydrangeas for the bouquets, and hydrangeas plus any other similarly colored flowers for the centerpieces. Most of the florists I contacted quoted me several hundred dollars just for 6 bouquets, but Sandy was able to work with our budget and fulfill all of our floral needs for less than some florists quoted for the bouquets!
She works with a local grower, so has many "unconventional" flowers at her disposal - for example, she used clover and other wildflowers in our centerpieces, as well as the requested hydrangeas. Everything was beautiful, and she picked up the bouquets and centerpieces from the venue the following day to take to a local nursing home. :) (I was glad she had something to do with them - I certainly didn't!) She also provided ivy for the mantle, and arranged it with candleholders I'd purchased. Everything was beautiful, very classy, and elegant, and helped create the perfect atmosphere for the wedding! -

I loved working with Sandy to construct bouquets and centerpieces for our wedding. We had a meet-and-greet over coffee to discuss colors and flower types, and what she came up with was beyond beautiful. Everything turned out wonderfully! -

Great to work with and provided gorgeous arrangements! She totally understood my vision for the day, and she made it happen with very little direction. A dream for a girl who doesn't know much about flowers :) -

Sandy was amazing! She was the first vendor I met with that asked about my then fiance. It meant so much to me that she knew this was not just about me, but us as a couple and what we both wanted of our special day. The flowers were GORGEOUS! -

Sandy was great to work with! The bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, and all the flowers were gorgeous and really fit in with the vibe of our wedding day. She definitely will give you suggestions on what flowers will work and she thought ahead on my wedding day to bring my bouquets to me rather than just depositing them at the venue - something I hadn't specified and didn't realize until the day of! The flowers all lasted throughout the evening and I never felt like anything was falling apart or weren't up to par. She lets you provide your own materials for the most part, which is a huge cost-saving benefit.
The only reasons I have to knock off any stars was that the corsages were supposed to be wrist corsages and they were pin corsages. Luckily they worked with the ladies' dresses, but that could've been bad. If you're a local bride, then the issue of not being able to deliver any materials to her until 2 weeks out won't be an issue, but for me it was a little inconvenient to spend 4 hours in the car 2 weeks before my wedding.
Overall, my experience with Sandy was great! I would absolutely recommend her as a florist. -

Sandy was a gem to work with! She was flexible and had wonderful ideas to make our wedding day unique and special. Her flower arrangements were beautiful and lasted quite a while after the wedding. She was professional, met with us twice to discuss plans, and arrived to our venue with plenty of time to set up the arrangements. Her price was also the best we found in town. Although her price was far below other florists we researched, she provided quality service. -

Sandy was great! flowers were amazing and it was great working with a local cvillian! She knew her stuff. The only thing with responsiveness was that she told us she wouldn't have extra flowers the day before the wedding when we asked for my hair and the cake, so we went special on the day of to trader joes to get some (hassle), and then later she brought us a whole bucket of extra flowers. That was an amazing gift, I just wish she would have told us so that we didn't go out of the way for a special trip. Also, I think it'd be great if sandy came with pictures of flowers to choose from for consults! Would have been super helpful. -

Flowers were not very high on my must get right list, but unfortunately I was sadly pretty dissapointed with what I was given by Verde Natural Florals. While the price of our flowers was excellent and well within our budget, I definitely did not get what I expected. I had thought my order was easy enough, (all white bouquets with burlap, wheat and grey accents with no green in any of our bouquets and boutonnieres), but apparently it was not.
The bouquets were certainly very pretty, but were full of peach and pale pink flowers as well as green ferns (exactly what I did not want.) Further, my grooms boutonniere was missing the white rose (the only thing that would have made him stand out from the rest), as well the boutonnieres had a completely different look than the bouquets. The boutonnieres were made of red berries with green leaves and wrapped in green ribbon which was very different than the requested wheat and pale grey leaves wrapped in burlap. Further, the contrast of my pale peach/pink/whitish flowers with the guys' green and red boutonnieres was definitely very noticeable, and not in a good way. I am not sure if perhaps there was some mix up and I received someone else's boutonnieres, or if somehow my vision was lost in translation (although most of what we had discussed in person was captured in the contract and I had sent pictures with exactly what I had in mind).
I would not say avoid Verde Natural Florals, just be VERY clear exactly what you want in your contract and confirm just before the wedding again what you want and ensure that it is available.
