I had to check out the website and there were so many choices to choose from but I chose an arrangement that had Lillies (my favorite flower) mixed with Roses since that's grandma's favorite. Since I'm all the way in California, I made sure to call the shop to confirm my order and would also like to see the bouquet before the delivery. The lady I spoke with took my number down and sent me a peek of the arrangement, and it was perfect . I definitely would recommend this shop to anyone who is looking to get flowers for friends/family. And mostly definitely I will be a return customer as well. Thank you for making my grandmother's day today. Your flowers had my grandma in tears

Our venue recommended several florists, but all of them had huge minimums that would provide florals far beyond our vision. After searching around, I was THRILLED to stumble across MJ on Yelp. Her floral designs are beautiful! From simple and classic to vibrant and eccentric, she can do it all. MJ was a pleasure to work with from our very first phone call. She broke down everything for me from sizes to types of flowers, and was extremely flexible with my changing vision along the way. Working with her was a breeze, and her floral expertise is undeniable! We ended up ordering bouquets for my bridesmaids and me that were repurposed throughout the reception space. The bouquets she put together were absolutely stunning and I genuinely couldn't be happier with how they turned out! MJ was easy to communicate with, so talented, and just an overall kind person! I hope her business continues to bloom, and I will recommend her to everyone in the RVA area! Hire her!

These flowers were absolutely gorgeous and smelled like they were hand picked from the heavens. They were so vibrant and fresh. They opened in a few days and lasted for what seemed like eternity.

I've bought charming bunnies and shabby chic planters for the spring, Christmas tree decorations and mercury glass candle holders for the holidays, and grapevine pumpkins and natural grasses for the fall.

On my recent visit, I wanted to get a bouquet for a friend's birthday. I walked in and asked the person at the front desk if I was able to get help making a bouquet under $35. She was extremely kind and asked me if the birthday person liked tulips. I was immediately reminded how much my friend loves them and excited to see the bouquet. What she ended up creating was beyond stunning and my friend's taste. It came out to about $34. My friend adored them! I need to stop by again and treat myself to some stunning flowers.

I was fully assured he could handle the job and that delivery would be taken care of. The upfront customer service was honestly fantastic--so much so that I actively recommended him to other people attending the same service. That is where the positive experience ended. On Wednesday night, there were no flowers. I contacted him, and he claimed he had confused the date, telling me, "I'm sitting right here looking at it, just need to finish it." He promised he would deliver them the following day and refund me 50% for the trouble. Today, the services took place. There were absolutely no flowers, no refund credit has been issued, and he has completely ignored all of my emails and phone calls. After being incredibly responsive when taking my money, I have been completely ghosted. Please think twice before trusting this business with important events.

I am a bride who contracted Christopher Flowers LLC for wedding florals and had to terminate and…read morefight for my $2,250 deposit back. Sharing this so other couples - especially those planning from out of town - know exactly what they may be walking into. I want to be fair: Christopher is creative with a genuine passion for florals. But passion alone does not make a reliable wedding vendor. If you need professional communication, organized consultations, and follow-through for one of the most important day of your lives, please read every review carefully before signing anything or handing over a deposit. The consultation started badly before it even began. We were given a warehouse address in advance that turned out to be a dilapidated locked shared space - confirmed when my planner arrived 30 minutes early. We then received a last-minute text less than 30 minutes before our appointment redirecting us to an outdoor flower stand in front of a well-known Richmond restaurant. We arrived on time with our wedding planner and stood outside in nearly 100-degree heat for over 15 minutes with no call, no greeting, and no one looking for us. He only called because his assistant happened to drive by and spotted three people waiting on the sidewalk. He had been sitting on the back patio the entire time and never came to meet us even after that call. Rather than moving indoors, we held the entire meeting outside on a patio shared with strip mall tenants in the heat with no water offered. Our planner had to go into the restaurant herself to get us water while Christopher stepped away for 20+ minutes to make an example bouquet at his stand while simultaneously serving other walk-up customers. Once the meeting began, Christopher did not stand to greet us or introduce himself to our planner. There were no design visuals, no mockups, and no printed proposal, despite having two computers open. A standard floral consultation runs about an hour going through the proposal line by line with all parties having a reference sheet. Ours lasted an hour and forty-five minutes in scorching heat with none of that structure. Verbal discussion was our only reference, he went on tangents, and we found ourselves continually redirecting the conversation back to the meeting objectives to help facilitate his own consultation. Key contracted items including guest table arrangements and cake florals were never discussed. When we raised the sweetheart table he seemed unaware it was even in the proposal. He called my fiancee and our planner the wrong names throughout. When asked about our venue - which he had never worked - he said no to any logistics questions, adding he had stopped by it a month earlier on a drive to New Jersey. Stopping by is not the same as knowing a venue. At the close of the meeting, as we said cordial goodbyes, he made an unprompted inappropriate comment speculating that if he and I ever got into an altercation at a club, I would be the aggressive one throwing fighting words and my fiancee would throw a punch at him to defend me. We had been professional, friendly, and gracious throughout. Our planner with 11 years of experience kept apologizing and said it was a first for her in over a decade. The comment came completely out of nowhere directed at two people who had been nothing but professional throughout a meeting that had already tested our patience at every turn. I emailed a termination request the next day and included the exact email address in a follow-up text since he had multiple addresses in use throughout - adding its own layer of confusion. He confirmed he had seen the text and would review it. He later claimed he never received the email - yet I had written to him not once but twice with the exact address included. When I filed a Venmo dispute after receiving no response - the only thing that got his attention - he called immediately, said I was rude for filing it, that he was not making any money off of me anyway, and that I had never communicated with him despite acknowledging my text two days earlier. He claimed he would have just given me the refund if I had asked - which I had, in writing, twice. What followed was nearly two weeks of broken promises, unanswered texts, and repeated calls before he finally accepted the dispute. His refund Venmo dispute reply was finalized on day 12 from the Venmo dispute original date and day 16 from my original written request - both outside his own stated 7-10 day refund policy. I waited even longer for Venmo to finally process. I anticipate a response disputing this. I was cordial throughout. I confirmed directly with Venmo that he needed to respond to release the funds and communicated this to him. He knew what was required and still took nearly two weeks. I have documentation of every communication referenced here.
