AVOID this shop at any cost. I ordered/paid for an arrangement at another shop which was "filled" by this shop. What they delivered was NOT even remotely close to what was ordered. They just threw garbage flowers in an ugly vase and tried to pawn it off as the same arrangement! What an insult to both me and the intended recipient! They are also OUTRAGEOUSLY OVERPRICED for the awful arrangements they show on their website! Don't let these people bamboozle you! There are plenty of shops that treat customers right! read more

I cannot be more pleased by the live peace plant, the two ceramic gardens, and the three ceramic angels Karin's Florists provided and delivered for a dear friend's funeral. I spoke with Kevin who is very personable and professional, and he ensured my order was perfect. I believe one cannot "go wrong" with Karin's Florist. read more

Although I have had amazingly capable service and beautiful flowers and gifts from Karin's, I recently needed a floral wreath for the grave of a famous person buried at Arlington Cemetery. This was a remembrance from a VIP group from Texas I hosted. Having been extremely disappointed by the quality, delivery service, and follow through by florists in the Arlington, Virginia area, I sought alternatives close by. I am happy I did and happy Karin's was my choice. Kevin handled every detail of the arrangements with excellent recommendations. The group felt the wreath could not have been a better symbol of their love and admiration of the one interred. Written elegantly on the sash was their organization's name. The importance of this cannot be underestimated. I unfortunately have had wreaths where the stencilling on the sash appeared to have been done haphazardly by a child without any arts and crafts talent and brought tears to the eyes of those in charge. I recommend Karin's without any hesitation. From the moment they were contacted, through the well timed delivery, to the beautiful, delicately placed flowers on the sturdy wreath and clear, well inked ribbon, every feature of the order was handled flawlessly . This is the impeccability one wants and Karin's once again came through brilliantly. read more

I worked with Carol on arrangements for a birthday party. I sent photos as references as well as a description of what I was looking for in terms of the color scheme. We went back and forth and I felt confident she understood my request. Unfortunately the flowers delivered not only didn't match the verbal description I'd provided, they also didn't correspond with the photos I'd sent. I'd asked for an analogous color scheme with yellow, orange, and peach to soften the pallet and ended up with a pink, green, and white scheme. They were lovely, but not what I'd ordered. I reached out to Carol to express my disappointment and she explained her choices. I might have understood if we hadn't exchanged photos, but the colors just aren't the right palette and Carol doesn't acknowledge seeing it. read more

We were married on 12/14/19. My family has been using Karin's florist for as long as I can remember for any special occasion. When it came time to pick a florist for my wedding, I knew in the back of my mind it would likely be Karin's. However, when we had our initial meeting with their Creative Director Bryan that is what absolutely sold me. Before our meeting they asked for any details we had about our wedding, including any pinterest pages we created. At the time, I had an idea of colors I liked and had pinned similar things. However, it wasn't until I met with Bryan that he was able to pinpoint the deco inspired theme that I was interested in and within minutes pull out pictures of flowers and inspiration he envisioned. His creativity was so inspiring and I felt absolutely excited for what was to come. Bryan and the rest of the team at Karin's worked with us to make sure we had everything covered and so that we could stay within a reasonable budget. We had a follow up meeting a few months before the wedding where Bryan shared examples of what he was planning, which was very comforting to see it in person before the big day. They were flexible with us when we added a few things last minute that we had not though about, and they didn't hesitate to go above and beyond for what we wanted. To really complete the deco inspired black, white, and gold theme, Bryan designed my bouquet to be all white flowers, with the Stephanopoulos flower (similar to my name) where he glued pearls inside the center of the flowers. This was beyond my wildest dream. To compliment the gold accent of our wedding, he spray painted leaves and used them as an accent for my bouquet and the décor in our chuppah and throughout the venue. They also were willing to have both tall and shorter centerpieces for the table, utilizing the amazing black and gold vases Karin's has for events. Finally, they worked with us to add flowers to the cake, which we didn't decide to do till the last minute. Overall, I couldn't have asked for anything better. They were professional, accommodating, and completely made the event spectacular! Bryan is a creative genius and I am so thankful he made my dream flowers that I didn't even realize were my dream come true! read more

Wonderful customer service; beautiful window displays! Highly recommend for any occasion!

We have been using Karin's for years and they never disappoint. The floral designers are amazing and arrangements last a long time.

I have been a fan of this florist for well over a decade and in my opinion they are simply the best! From customer service to creative designs to the most beautiful arrangements , they stand out. My best girlfriend just sent me this gorgeous arrangement for my birthday today and it just brightened my entire day!! Who doesn't like a special delivery from Karin's?! read more

Karin's Florist - My gorgeous birthday arrangement from my best girlfriend!! - Florists Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Disclaimer: we haven't received our flowers yet, but this review will discuss our impression so far. We emailed to get an appointment for wedding floral. I'd call because our first email appears to have never been received. Not sure if it's the website contact form that's the problem or what. We met with Brian, and we basically have no idea what we really want. Thankfully, Brian is kind and knows a lot about this sort of thing. We pretty much went with his suggestions because...well, he's the professional and we've seen how lovely his other work has been. I've seen no one else post prices, but for bouquet, corsages, table floral, cocktail hour floral, arch rental, arch floral, and labor costs, it's less than $2,000 for us. Given other options we've looked at, and the quality of their work, this is a deal! So far, highly recommend. Will update if our experience changes. read more

There aren't enough kind words I can possibly say about Sarah and what she put together for my intimate wedding day. We had a small wedding of 25 guests, but I wanted it to be special. Classy, white flowers, lots of green and candles. That's basically the only guidance I gave her, and she absolutely nailed it. Sarah jumped in as more than just a 'florist'. You have the ability to work with the team and use their connections to also find chairs, table linens, plates, balloons, basically anything you need to create a gorgeous event. Every time I came to Sarah with a problem (ie: my wedding venues table cloths and dishes are hideous) she jumped in with gusto and offered me dozens of alternatives she hand selected. She was always mindful of price points and never once pushed me to purchase anything I didn't want. In fact, she actually helped me pull back in areas where I was probably trying to do a little too much, even though it ended up being cheaper for her to even suggest it. Moral of the story, check out the photos, they speak for themselves. Thank you Sarah and Karin's Florist! read more

Devastated. This is only the 2nd bad review I've ever written in years because my experience was THAT HORRIFIC. I placed an order on the site for a next day delivery of a specialty bouquet (Star Wars themed) for a birthday. The order went through -- the site has a scheduler and everything -- and I assumed everything was fine. The next morning I get an email that says not only is the bouquet NOT available, but NONE of the themed bouquets advertised on their site were actually available, so there weren't even comparable replacement options. Their email suggested: "a glass vase" -- which almost seemed insulting? But what was ACTUALLY insulting was when I called customer service asking for help with a solution. All I got was snark and refusal. When I asked why the order was allowed to go through in their system in the first place if the options weren't available, the response was, "Well you placed it last night" -- as if that explained anything. Now I've been condescended, insulted, and I'm scrambling to think of something else. Long story short, if you've got a special occasion that requires an arrangement that's meaningful and timely, Karin's Florist is NOT WORTH THE RISK. I cannot think of a time in years when my experience with a business has been THIS BAD. read more

Pretty pricey but they had Calla Lilies. I called like 6-8 shops looking for them and this is one of the only places that had them. Place looks like an office, maybe some place where u order flowers for weddings. But either way, I'm glad they had them. Couldn't make up my mind on how to get them arranged so I put 2 orders in and they came out great. Plus they had purple roses. I'm sure I'll come back here for the calla lilies though. This place is pretty pricey and I would call in first before coming in to make sure they have what ure looking for. They were also pretty fast in making the arrangement. read more

Karin's has the most beautiful Casablanca Lillie's-I have ordered them several times and have not been disappointed at all! They are luscious and meaty and huge! For Valentine's Day I received 12 stems, each with 3-4 buds on them- after opening ( and there still buds yet to have opened) they were so big I had to split them into 2 vases! Karin's is an amazing florist- everyone is so nice and friendly read more

Wedding Review: Karin's Florist provided my centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, place card table display, and altar arch for my wedding at 8 Chains North Winery in early August. Bryan Swann, of Karin's Florist, was the first florist I met with to discuss floral plans. After going back and forth and meeting with a few other florists, I ultimately chose Bryan's services due to his creative vision and concern for remaining within my budget. I had very little direction in which I wanted to go, save for my colors (merlot and peach), and Bryan did an amazing job of drafting up his vision that would be casual yet classy for my outdoor ceremony. He was extremely knowledgeable and showed me tons of pictures of previous weddings and things he found on Instagram or Pintrest that he thought would work well. He was also incredibly honest in disclosing where he thought we could cut back and where he thought we should focus the majority of our budget allotment for floral. I did come to him with a few pictures for the arch I envisioned and he was helpful in asserting how much that was going to cost (WAY out of budget) and help me chose something that came within budget and still looked fabulous. The cost of our floral services was quite reasonable compared to other vendors and delivery, set-up, and take down (of the arch) went seamlessly. Bryan was quite responsive when I made several changes to our order (lessened the number of bridesmaids and groomsmen and added additional tables to the reception) and was a professional at all times. I would highly recommend the services of Karin's Florist for any bride-to-be! read more

All around excellent florist. It's a bit on the pricey side compared to other florists in the general area but their selection of prearranged vases are always exceptional and their service is fantastic. I've also bought a few customized bouquets and they really do their best to create something amazing every time if you just give them a budget and a number of colors to work with. They're also dog friendly so if you want to bring your canine friend in to meet to their office manager chihuahua. read more

For a Mother of Bride corsage yesterday (Wednesday), I visited the store at 9am; I'd forgotten to order the corsage beforehand, and now we were on our way to the courthouse. The staff was as excited for the bride (and her mom) as I was, asked me what colors we needed, and said, do you want to wait fifteen minutes? I went to do another errand in town, and when I returned, they had designed, created, and packaged, like a gift, a beautiful corsage for the MOB. I had googled beforehand, and thought corsages of this size and quality were about $65. No, it was $49 at Karin's. I can't tell you how easy-peasy this florist made what could have been an otherwise stressful wedding morning. Let me see if I can edit and attach a photo. I have lived six blocks away in Vienna for seven years and never thought to use Karin's though I admire their windows daily. When I needed them, they were excellent, and now they'll be my regular florist. Thank you to them. read more

Wedding Review: My wife and I got married in February '17. We funded the wedding ourselves, so we made sure to meet with lots of vendors for all aspects of the wedding. After talking with 4-5 florists and visiting with 2-3, we were sold on Karin's by a landslide. Our first meeting was with Bryan Swann. He was incredibly knowledgeable about all Karin's had to offer, but also about our venues (church and reception hall) and what would go well in those particular locations. Unlike the other florists we spoke with, he didn't try to up-sell us on anything (which is something I was on the lookout for). In fact, Bryan even told us when he thought certain things were unnecessary. In the end, we felt like we were still getting more than the other florists were offering for about 75% of the cost! (My wife, brother, and I played a game while they were working up the quote where we guessed how much the total would come out to and we all way overshot the actual number). We decided right then and there to commit to Karin's and paid our 50% down payment. Side note: while meeting with Bryan, a local high school prom was going on. Nervous adolescent boys kept walking in with their mothers to pick up their boutonnieres and corsages and we just sat there laughing at the funny/awkward interactions between the boys, their moms, and the other employees at Karin's. The employees were great with the kids, and offered their best wishes for a fun and safe prom night. A few months later, leading up to the wedding, we were wrapping up our loose ends and paying remaining balances for our vendors. I had an unfortunate financial situation happening and asked Bryan (over phone) if we could pick up our own flowers and forego any delivery fee. He was happy to oblige, which was incredibly helpful to our situation. WEDDING DAY: My wife and I are in total agreement; of all our vendors, we were the MOST satisfied with Karin's. Everything was perfect: the church arrangement, the boutonnieres and corsages, the bouquets, and the table centerpieces. The Bride's Bouquet was particularly noteworthy. It had an amazing cascade of flowers (roses, blue thistle, and some other stuff..) and was just stunning. It was also pretty heavy.. I have no idea how my wife held it all day! The flowers smelled and looked far better than we expected and we received countless complements throughout the day on them. In the end, I could not have been any more satisfied with the quality and service that we received from everyone at Karin's. I don't have any photos yet as my photographer is still working on them, but we'll be sure to post them once they're delivered! read more

I will start off by saying that everyone tells you that things will go wrong on your wedding day. The only, yet surprising thing that went wrong on my wedding day, were the flowers provided by Karin's Florist. After purchasing flowers for over a year from them for special occasions, and raving about their work, it actually pains me to give this Florist a 2 star review. We met with Bryan at Karin's Florist several times throughout the planning process. He was nothing but wonderful and he had amazing ideas. We couldn't wait to see what he would do on the day of our wedding. Sadly, the flowers were a huge disappointment. I will start out with the positive. Luckily, the reception and ceremony flowers were absolutely gorgeous. They turned out exactly how I imagined and how we discussed with Bryan. Our wedding colors were navy and gold, with accents of white and blush. We discussed arrangements of white and blush flowers with greenery. He arranged HUGE pieces on each side of the altar, and gorgeous tall centerpieces for our reception tables, which we got a lot of compliments on. This is one of the only reasons this vendor is getting a 2 star review, rather than a 1 star review. When we had met in person, I showed Bryan a picture of my wedding dress, and he said "wow. That's a statement dress..." We then discussed a bridal bouquet that was not cascade or round, but more of a hand-tied look, with calla lilies, blush and white roses, and greenery to add volume. I asked for the bridesmaid bouquets to be blush and white as well. The groomsmen boutonnieres were to be blush. Despite these conversations, the wedding party flowers, and my bouquet were a complete disaster. As I stated, we had discussed shades of blush throughout all of the bouquets. The bridesmaid's bouquets were hot pink/magenta. The groomsmen calla lily boutonnieres were also hot pink/magenta. My bouquet came as a small, completely round bouquet, with all white flowers, and some small, ugly red flowers added in. In addition to there being no blush in my bouquet, there was zero volume and zero greenery. The bridal bouquet was so underwhelming, that the bridesmaid bouquets looked like nothing. When the flowers were delivered, my mom was convinced they delivered the wrong flowers. When I saw my bridal bouquet I asked my mom, "is this a joke?" Bryan did his best to "fix" it the day of the wedding, but there was no fixing this. My photographer did a great job of getting a lot of pictures without my hideous bouquet, but that's all I see in my photos of me walking down the aisle. In addition to the wedding party flowers not matching my wedding color scheme, the flowers were delivered one full hour late, which caused a lot of stress, and delayed our meticulously scheduled wedding day timeline. Because of this, I have no detail photos with wedding flowers. Bryan claimed that he had 3:00 p.m., in his notes, even though I had an e-mail saved that confirmed a 2:00 p.m. delivery. He also had a paper copy of the itinerary from our last in person meeting, which indicated at 2:00 p.m. delivery. My dress had sparkles throughout the entire fabric, so Bryan had a wonderful idea to add crystal bling to the centerpiece at our sweetheart table. I was so excited about this, but alas, it wasn't there. He said he simply forgot. This is just plain sloppy. I was very shocked at the lack of attention to detail on my wedding day. The second and last reason that this florist is getting 2 stars, instead of 1, is that my mom met with Bryan and the shop owner after the wedding, and they refunded her money for the wedding party flowers and for my bouquet. They made a lot of excuses for the mistakes, like the color of flowers came in darker than expected. If that was the case, my mom or I should have received a phone call prior to the wedding. We did not. In fact, my mom spoke with Bryan via phone the day before the wedding to give him delivery instructions. He never mentioned the change in color of the flowers. It's nonsense that the ceremony and reception flowers were blush and matched my color scheme, while the wedding party flowers did not. It almost felt like Bryan decided to change to the colors of the bouquets and boutonnieres, because he felt like it. He told my mom the red flowers in my bridal bouquet were his favorite flowers. Does it matter what the florist's favorite flowers are, when the bride didn't ask for that? I don't think so. Bryan introduced an unwanted element of spontaneity on my wedding day. If you care about attention to detail and your florist listening to you, I urge you to find a different florist for your wedding. If you do get flowers from here, I suggest you be VERY clear on what you want and tell them it is not to be changed. Don't give him any artistic freedom; you will regret it. read more

Bryan was incredibly patient with me and delivered arrangements that really blew us away. I first went to Bryan without any ideas of a color palette or even what flowers I wanted -- just that I wanted as minimal flowers as possible. Despite my giving him very little to work with, he was always responsive and provided ideas for how different colors could play off of each other. His feedback played a major role in helping me lock down the final aesthetic of my wedding. He was also super flexible and happy to update the proposal as we adjusted our visions across the final months. Plus, everything was super reasonably priced. I can't recommend him enough! read more

This post is on behalf of my boyfriend since he does not have a yelp account. Every time he orders flowers, they are ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. The arrangements are stunning and decently priced based around the area. When waking into the store, there is always a beautiful display that makes you think you are spending big bucks for flowers but nope... absolutely love getting flowers from Karen's. The employees are educated as to which works best and which flowers are "in season"! Definitely a very satisfied customer! read more

Karin's did the flowers for my wedding and my mother, who lives in Dallas, regularly sends me arrangements. This is the very best florist in Northern VA. Most times when you order flowers, it's a total gamble how it will turn out, but Karin's florist is consistently incredible quality and wonderful service. I had a very specific vision for what I wanted for my wedding flowers and they exceeded my very high expectations. When my mother sends me arrangements, she loves talking to the people who take her order, and I am always amazed by the creative and beautifully unique arrangements. read more

I had a quick, convenient, excellent experience with Karin's recently. I walked in right as they were opening, looked around at the arrangements they had available and then was approached by a jolly young man with a shaved head, pink shirt and a fierce flair. He was very helpful and immediately knew where to find pieces to make what I described I wanted. He got the designers started right away and rang me up in style. The arrangement arrived within the timeframe I had specified, and it was quite beautiful when I saw it later. They did a great job! No issues whatsoever. One star deduction because they ARE pretty expensive... I mean these things naturally come up out of the ground, and florists pick them and mark them up HOW MUCH? This applies to pretty much all florists... has always seemed a little silly to me how much they charge for plantlife that is going to grow anyway. Especially when somehow the homeless guys at the Metro stops can figure out ways to sell a dozen roses for $10. read more

My parents have been happy customers for many years. I recently experienced a minor issue with the type of flower arrangements and Marisa provided a whole new order w/o charge. Now I understand why my parents are such loyal customers and now friends because the flower type was our mistake.

I recently relocated to NOVA and was looking for a florist to continue an annual tradition of recreating my wife's bridal bouquet as a floral arrangement for our anniversary. The previous florist I used in California did an amazing job, so I needed someone great. Due to my own procrastinating, I realized I needed to get the arrangement ordered with about 5 days to go. I sent a quote request via Yelp and within a few hours had heard back from Karin's with a quote and a number to call to finalize everything. I called back the same evening and finalized everything. The arrangement was delivered as requested on the day I requested and looked fantastic. Wonderful job, great communication, and at a fair price for what I requested. I normally try to avoid making last minute requests, but Karin's handled it well, and my wife was very pleased. Look forward to doing business again in the future. read more

Karin's Florist in Vienna, VA did the flowers for my wedding ceremony and reception on March 20th at a Northern VA Club. Karin's exceeded all of my expectations for beauty, design artistry, quality, timeliness and competitive pricing.

Bryan, the floral salesman/designer sat with me and did a great job with creative ideas and suggestions, which I truly appreciated. He is amazing with artistic eye for design.

I have frequented this florist for 15 years. The quality, selection and customer service has completely degraded.

My son out of the area, ordered Mother's day arrangement which was I guess directed to this florist. The arrangement had poor quality flowers which wilted after the third day. We kept it with the appropriate water as directed. Roses wilted, hydrangea, and the rest did the same thing. Really, not even a week? When you pay money at a florist you should get good quality flowers that should last a week or more. That is our experience elsewhere. But bad quality flowers will die fast. They are like the ones you see people selling on the sidewalk. There IS a difference in the quality and processing of flowers and florists have a choice of excellent quality flowers or not. Never again. read more
