It's hard these days to get what you pay for, but I always feel like I get true value when I purchase flowers from Karin's. I'm fed up with mail order where I choose from "good," "better" or "best" but regardless of my "choice," what shows up looks like 3 daisies and a dandelion yanked from the neighbor's yard last week. That NEVER happens with Karin's. I've ordered arrangements from Karin's for my family and the flowers are ALWAYS spectacular and they ALWAYS last. And while my wife gushes over the flowers...I think she may secretly enjoy the high quality chocolates even more. read more

I was a walk in customer and ordered a bouquet of carnations for my wife. Less than 24 hours she opened them and there were broken stems and others that didn't look too healthy. We called and everyone has been very pleasant, they had us come back in to get a replacement bouquet. While we are happy with our product now, but I don't think they went above and beyond to make sure we're repeat customers. Although I wasn't expecting any more, good business would have given us more flowers for our troubles and the inconvenience to come in to replace the depressing bouquet they sent me off with in the first place. With that said, I will not be returning. read more

It pains me to have to write this review! But I can't believe the flowers were the wrong color! My wedding colors were hot pink and orange--I got PURPLE and orange. (And Linda tried to convince me that the purple flowers I got were in fact hot pink.) I really thought that Linda and I were on the same page. I gave her paint chips and a picture of the flowers I wanted (with a few tweaks--no hydrangeas and add gerbera daisies). I didn't sleep well the first 3 nights after my wedding because I kept waking up angry that my flowers were ruined. It breaks my heart every time I look at my pictures. I'm grateful that the photographer was able to Photoshop some of my pictures, but now the flowers look dull. They did refund 10% and gave me a $200 gift card to try to make up for the problem. But it can't make up for the fact that everything else on my wedding day was perfect, but my flowers were heartbreakingly wrong. It's 6 months later and I'm still angry that every time I look at pictures (even the ones that have been photoshopped), I remember that I spent over $1,300 on the those stupid, wrong flowers. If it were not for the wrong color problem, this would have been a glowing review. Linda was nice to work with and suggested flowers that fit my budget. (Although keep in mind how much delivery costs.) I liked how it was a big shop so if one person was sick, another person could step in. But in the end, I have to say--DON'T USE Karin's Florists. read more

We did not have a good experience with Karin's for my wedding. There was a miscommunication about an order for our rehearsal dinner and the flowers did not arrive. The flowers for the reception did not at all match the very specific order. One particular flower I said I did not want in any arrangement, was in every one. The florist suggested this flower and I said no--specifically. The flowers were the wrong color--dark pink, and no white--and the green flower I disliked was featured prominently. It's in every photograph. We met with them twice prior to the wedding and I was very specific and had pictures printed out and emailed. My bouquet was pretty, but also included bright colors that I didn't want. The bridesmaid bouquets didn't match. It was very disappointing. While the flowers were fresh, nicely arranged, and quite pretty, they really were not what I had wanted or requested. Bryan did follow up with me about the experience and tried to make it right, which I appreciated. read more

Lovely people and great flower arrangement. They provided the flowers for my wedding in 2007. I was a little unhappy with my actual flower bouquet but everything else was perfect. For my bouquet I asked for long stem white lilies with no extra sparkling decorations but what I received were short stem lilies with some shining things in the middle, which they cut them out for me. However, they did a great job with my center pieces, cake and arch decoration. They delivered exactly as I asked for and on time. They are highly recommended but a bit pricy. read more

This was my first time buying flowers from a florist. I spent a lot of time researching florists around the Vienna area who had more creative, unique bouquets as opposed to some of the standard arrangements that appeared on multiple florists' sites. I was looking for a floral arrangement that was unique, elegant, and colorful as a professional thank-you gift. I settled on Karin's because the Yelp feedback was mostly positive, and it seemed to have better customer service and be more thoughtful about gift-giving. There are FAQs and tips about picking floral arrangements on its website. I also got a good vibe from a local news segment interview of some of the florists' employees (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6E_0IQDYC0); they seemed knowledgeable and thoughtful about floral arrangements. Shopping online was pretty smooth. The UI/UX of most online floral shops could use a refresh. I realized after my purchase that the note I wrote was probably too long to fit on a card. I called the next morning and explained the situation. They were attentive and offered solutions as to what to do next. They said they'd look into it and give me answer back soon. I didn't expect them to call me back 15 minutes later to let me know they found a solution to include my whole note. Delivery seemed smooth (I paid for a delivery confirmation), and the snapshot I got of the bouquet looked great. Overall, I'm very satisfied. The prices are a little higher but that's most likely because they are not the standard floral arrangements you see on other sites. Customer service was great and attentive, and the florist really seems to put that extra thought into customer experience. read more

Karin's Florist - Heart and Soul floral arrangement from Karin's Florist. Delivered November 2013. - Florists Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

The Husband uses this florist every time he sends me flowers for a birthday, anniversary, etc. From what he tells me, everyone here is friendly and accommodating. They make excellent suggestions as well. The flowers I have received from here on multiple occasions have been arranged beautifully, the flowers are all live (odd how that is a positive, but you would not believe how many other florists send out flowers that look dead!), and the flowers actually live for weeks afterward! I am always proud to display their arrangements on my desk at work or at home. Highly recommend. read more

I have no words for how grateful I am for Karin's flowers. I live on the west coast and my very large extended family is worldwide in Sri Lanka, Canada, Australia, Dubai and London. We had a horrible tragedy where our family member lost a beautiful son of only 21 before he graduated from UVA. Our hearts were broken and many of us could not get flights before the service. Karin's with only one day notice told me to worry about nothing. She suggested the best arrangement for us and handled everything with so much love and care. She sincerely expressed her condolences and said she'd keep us in her prayers. In a time of need, her business was amazing but her kindness makes me say this florist was invaluable to my family. Plus she sent a photo of the flowers and they are stunning. She said "I am going to make something bright and beautiful to represent the energy and happiness he had in his life" - she kept her promise. Thank you Karin's :) read more

Karin's Florist - Florists Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

I will preface this review by saying that I receive flowers from Karin's quite often and they've always been beautiful. With that in mind I thought who better than Karin's for my mothers birthday flowers. I went online but quickly realized I couldn't do same day delivery so I called and provided my information and for a $20 fee was able to do a same day (before 1:00pm) delivery. I provided the name of the arrangement I had found online and questioned the price difference the rep provided me with as it was less than what was showing online but I was assured I was ordering the "deluxe" option and it would be less than I thought. I came back from a meeting to an e mail from Karin's showing me the arrangement before it went out and the photo was horrid. My mother called me to thank me for the flowers but I could hear that she was a little confused. I asked for photos and again they were horrid. I could not believe that someone put the arrangement together and actually allowed it to leave the store. I immediately called the store; the rep apologized but kind of asked what would you like us to do. "I want you to fix it" so the rep says the driver will go back and pick up the old flowers and deliver new ones. I know that florist don't always have the exact flowers available from the photos online so they "try" to make it resemble what we select but I told the rep that if they can't get as close to the arrangement I selected as possible to let me know and I'll pick something else that they can manage. I was told sure thing etc... I again returned from a meeting to an updated less horrid arrangement. Mom sent another photo... the disappointment was immediate. I call the florist again and ask why I wasn't called or contacted with this being the second attempt and especially after I asked to be called if they weren't able to do what I'd asked. I was told they didn't know why I wasn't called and that the person who did the arrangements was gone for the day. I told them I would bring the flowers back to them myself and pick something else out. The following day I go into the physical store with flowers and balloons in tow and I'm told "we try" ... I then point out the very much so dying flower in the arrangement and say this isn't right. Again asked what I want to do... I found an old photo of an arrangement that I received and asked them to copy that...the rep mentioned an additional fee because I didn't pay the price they had online which normally wouldn't be an option but two failed attempts and then me having to drive to the store! The idea of uttering "additional fee" was insulting. Again I paid an additional $20 for an expedited delivery fee but it was all for not. After a little back and forth she told me she'd "just do it" I left and came back to a brand new fresh arrangement that my mother loved. My unhappiness may not mean much to Karin's but again I receive flowers from them and freely tell others what an amazing florist they are. They should treat their customers better especially their customers who utilize them themselves as well as having others patronize their business in their name (sending them flowers). read more

Made great arrangements for a good price. My husband was going to pick up the flowers the day of our wedding but forgot! We were able to call them at 6pm on a Saturday and they sent everything over to the hotel for $75! Highly recommend. read more

If I could give 6 stars I would. Have been a customer of Karin's for many years and always very happy. This Christmas I purchased a Holiday Centerpiece and for some reason the roses just didn't hold up. Went into Karin's, showed them the pictures and on the spot a new stunning arrangement was delivered. There was no question, just --- yes, you are right -- we need to get you new flowers. WOW -- when was the last time a business was that on point for customer service. Karin's is the premier Vienna florist and it shows. Thanks again, great service and amazing flowers. read more

Ordered a Corsage & Boutonnière for homecoming dance and the Corsage flowers withered and died before we got to the dance. Informed Karins Florist of the mishap and they apologized and offered to refund the cost of the arrangement. They never issued a refund and we attempted a second time to do so and it never happened. Karins is typically a reliable establishment and has been operating for over thirty years. I am perplexed at their unwillingness to compensate for simple Corsage. Would never recommend shopping there to anyone in the future. read more

Awesome service! I called them at 10AM on a Friday for a same day delivery and it was no-problem-o. The gal on the phone was wonderful and made the process very easy and fast. She was able to e-mail me a receipt which is awesome for someone who needs to expense these sorts of things. They also sent me an email when they were delivered which was a great bonus. I highly recommend! read more

I really enjoyed working with Bryan at Karin's Florist after having a horrible experience with a different local florist. Bryan was friendly, nice, and very knowledgeable. He had worked with the venue, 2941 before, and new the space very well. He also had inventive suggestions for ways to pull attention away from the parts of the back drop I originally had wanted to cover. Some specific items: - I absolutely LOVED my bouquet. It was exactly what I pictured in my mind and I didn't want to let it out of my sight all night. - The awning/arbor was the perfect simple frame for the ceremony. The ribbon was also a great length. - The sweetheart centerpiece was a great size and pop of color (we were able to use our own vases which we had purchased at IKEA) - The sand designs looked great in the vases for the centerpieces. People were fighting over who would take them home! - The corsages and boutonnières were the perfect size and colors. Everyone liked them. - We received too many hair flowers (3 bags!), but I guess better safe than sorry? I just felt bad wasting all the extra flowers. - The cake flowers looked great when paired with the green ribbon and white icing, but they were supposed to be two-toned. Bryan explained that they were unable to receive the variegated orchids. - The leis in general didn't live up to my high standards, and Bryan said there was a miscommunication with the vendor in Hawai'i and issued me a partial refund. All in all, customer service and the level of personalization was amazing. I would highly recommend Karin's to anyone having an event in the future. read more

Karin's Florist is GREAT! Bryan Swann, the director of special events is phenomenal and really takes your vision and taste into consideration when designing arrangements for you. We used them for our wedding and everything was beyond perfect...They are pricey, but not the most expensive, and completely worth it. Very professional and accommodating, will really work with your budget and is very quick at getting back to you! Could not recommend this company more for everything from weddings to single flower purchases! read more

Karin's Florist - Bridal and bridesmaid bouquets from Karin's Florist; photo by Callie Hardman Photography - Florists Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Always a good experience with them. You get what you pay for. Karin's a little more than some of the huge website companies, but their arrangements are great. I just tried having an arrangement designed by one of their floral designers and was very happy with it. read more

Oh. My. God. I was very pleasantly surprised at the stunning flowers I received at my wedding this weekend. With only seeing a few photos of the flowers that would be used and a sample of one of the centerpieces, I didn't know what to expect when they actually arrived. My bridesmaids GUSHED at how their bouquets were the prettiest they've seen at any wedding. My cascade bouquet was even more beautiful than I could've imagined. All I did was take in a sketch and explain to Bryan what my dress color was (a light pink), my wedding colors, and that I wanted "whimsical, fairytale like flowers, wildflower like-organic not structured". He did exactly that!! At first I was going back and forth as to if I spent too much money or if I should've not committed myself to so many flowers, but they really pulled everything together and I don't have any regrets about them. Everything was professional and beautiful! I really had a gasping moment when they brought them in. Overall fantastic job Karins! I would recommend them to any bride. read more

Today is my bff's birthday and I wanted to surprise her with a nice fresh flower arrangement delivered to her work. I immediately "yelped" to see what was around her work and came across Karin's florist. When someone from Karin's picked up the phone, she insured me that the flower will be delivered before 1:00pm today (I called her around 9:30am this morning). I told her that she's young and artistic. I specfically asked for vibrant, dramtic and colorful arrangment. Well, come 12:30, my bff calls to thank me for the flower and she sent me the pix of it. I was really blown away with the arrangement that Karin's did for her. (I don't get impressed with too many things as I get older) I am so pleased with the way it turned out and I will def use their service again. Two THUMBS UP!!!! :) read more

I worked with Bryan at Karins Florist for centerpieces, bridal headpiece wreath, and flowers for my display cake at my daughter's bridal shower. I wanted to use pampas grass and he had many suggestions and sent me pictures for inspiration. His ideas were all beautiful and he worked within my budget. Very responsive to questions. The flowers were delivered to the venue on time and were stunning. Thank you so much for your service! read more

I used karen's at my wedding reception this past March. I was so so happy with the end result I wish I did this sooner! I didn't have the budget for flowers on every dinning table at the reception but I wish I did because they make such beautiful arrangements. What I did do is get two large displays of white and pink flowers and a smaller one for some side decoration/the desert table. For the tables I got tons of pink rose petals. For my bridesmaids I got small pink/white bouquets, and I got a PERFECT white cascading bouquet. I met up at Karen's because I like local businesses and I heard good reviews. I wasn't sure what I wanted but the man I worked with gave me some great ideas and was very helpful. He wrote up an estimate and even though it was slightly high I decided to follow through with it. I can understand though because it takes so much work and talent to put together such beautiful arrangements! The large displays I received on time the day of the reception looked and smelled wonderful. All the flowers held up nicely except my bouquet. After a couple hours of pictures I started to lose leaves and white roses. I didn't really care though..It still looked good. Oh, and the flowers lasted so much longer than I have seen before! Overall, great, easy, and positive experience. read more

We use Karin's a lot and always have a good experience but this review is for a specifically great experience from this week: We wanted to send flowers to a memorial service in Syracuse, NY. We did not have all the details until late on a Saturday afternoon and hoped to have something delivered before calling hours on Sunday afternoon. We tried calling a few florists in Syracuse, and all were either already closed or not accepting any deliveries for Sunday. I called Karin's knowing it was a long shot but also knowing they have preferred florists throughout the country and might be able to make it happen. Sure enough; the flowers were there on time and were gorgeous. I really appreciate their great customer service which included letting me know they would try but might not be able to make it happen. Excellent company - will continue to use for local and out of town deliveries. read more

Bryan Swann, at Karin's Florist, listened to my daughter's desires for her wedding and managed to create a fairytale feel through flowers that took everyone's breath away. Without even seeing the dress, he hit the colors right on the head, as if the dresses had been made to match the flowers! Every center piece was pricelessly perfect and the bouquets were pure beauty and simplicity. The masterpiece was the Chuppa that looked as if it belonged in the french countryside. Thank you for the best flowers ever! read more

Bryan did a beautiful job creating exactly what we asked for. Thank you for listening to us and helping us achieve what we didn't know how to. It was noticed by everyone and loved. No, they aren't cheap but don't claim to be. For the money you pay you get quality flowers, and a team of individuals who really try to picture what it is you are envisioning. Thank you for the excellent service. read more

Karin's is my go to florist in NOVA. My parents live in NC & would send me flowers for my birthday or certain holidays & they would always use the typical online or phone orders. And not once did they ever actually look like they were supposed to! And they always die so quickly. After I found Karin's, and recommended them to my parents, they've always been so beautiful and exactly as ordered. They are beautiful flowers and they actually last for a while! Thanks Karin's. You're the best!! read more

I worked with Bryan for our 9/26 wedding and have nothing but praise. I came in with a vague idea of what I wanted but not many specifics. Bryan was able to take my vision and create something new even more beautiful than I could have pictured. They were flexible and reliable the entire time, especially as we needed to make several changes in the months leading to our wedding. 5 stars for the quality of the flowers and the service! read more

Amazing customer service! I called in an order for my client and had some very specific things that were needed. They were so patient with me through the whole process. I can see why my client loves using them, and I will make sure to recommend you all to my other clients in the area! Thank you for making that such an easy process for me! read more

Walked in hoping to grab flowers for my aunt who was grieving the loss of her husband. Greeted with arrogance and unwelcome. Maybe it was because we weren't ordering a wedding arrangement? Very difficult to find a decent florist in this area who does a minimal order. Maybe they should take lessons from floral shops in Europe. read more

I used this florist to do funeral flowers for my uncle last month we got a spray for about $250. My dad died a month later and we went in. we asked for some basic flowers(all in season and local) nothing fancy and they said it would cost $375. We thought it was just normal how they do business, you go up to the counter you tell them what you want and you order. I didn't feel good about being overcharged so I canceled the order. I went with someone else and they actually sat down at a table with me went through the flowers and gave me some good options so my flowers weren't similar to my uncles. Karin has beautiful flowers but they are overpriced and the customer service just isn't there I'm never going to use them again. I don't want to feel like I'm being taken advantage of in my time of need. read more

I decided to use Karin's Florist for my wedding because out of all vendors that I met, Karin's didn't push unnecessary items and worked with my budget to create beautiful arrangements. There was a mix up on the wedding day and Helen made extra and delivered them herself. I definitely recommend Karin's florist for your wedding needs. read more

I truly appreciate their business. I recommend them with my heart. I wish them the best and I know their business will strive.

Beautiful flowers and great service! I've been using them for years now. They always make my loved ones happy. Thank you!

Karin's Florist is absolutely wonderful! Their flowers are fresh, beautifully arranged and the customer service is amazing! If you are in the Virginia area cannot recommend Karin's Florist enough! Do NOT go to Flower Shopping.com they are scam artists! Karin's florist on the other hand are truly amazing! I will only be buying my arrangements from here! read more

Karin's florist's work caused a lot of worries and disappointment on the day, that was supposed to be the happiest in my life. Something was wrong with everything that we ordered from them: bridal and bridesmaid's bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces. Seeing my bridal bouquet made me cry. It didn't just look nothing like what I asked for, but also simply wasn't pretty. I couldn't believe they could have gotten it so wrong, since it was a very simple arrangement and I spent a lot of time describing all the details, showing pictures to the florist. He was very nice, he put everything down and seemed to have understood it right. So the roses in my bouquet were wrong size, color, and random height, I asked how are they going to make all roses to be on the same level, as I showed in the picture, florist said it was their work to do it. I also asked to make a lace bow, which was my theme, well, the bows were not there nigher on mine nor on bridesmaid's bouquet. The bouquet didn't survive the throw, and lucky girl, who caught it had to gather pieces of it. Once, had caught a bouquet that first hit the selling and then the floor, and was still in great condition, so I have something to compare with. I particularly asked not to put green tape on groom's boutonniere, we agreed to use silver wire instead. Guess what? the boutonniere had a bunch of green tape on it, no silver wire though. We also paid extra for delivery and set up of centerpieces, karin's florist put flowers in vases, so that they were above the water level, as a result, by the time of the diner flowers faded and looked absolutely horrible. Even now, months after the wedding it hurts me to remember how bad everything was. Considering the fact, that their prices are considerably higher than average, my experience was a complete disaster. read more

My husband ordered a dozen roses for Valentine's Day but they never arrived. We never got a call or a text and when my husband called to figure out what had happened, they were already closed. He had to hound them again the next day only to be told that the first delivery guy knocked on the door but no one was home (which is untruthful because I was home all day specifically to receive the flowers) and the second driver just plain forgot to bring the flowers with him. And during that time nobody thought to call us and let us know. They just charged our credit card and simply didn't deliver. They did end up upgrading the flowers and delivered them at 5 pm the following day (!) but it's too little too late. We're never using this company again. read more

I received a dozen very long stemmed roses today, delivered to my door in Reston and beautifully packaged in a box with nice greenery. Hopefully they'll last a while because they're gorgeous. Thanks Karin's and thanks hubby! read more

My daughter and I received flowers from Karin's for Valentines' Day. They were delivered the night before (Thursday 13th) but were already sagging by the end of Valentine's Day. By Monday, one of the two arrangements was completely shriveled and dried and the other arrangement followed the day after. I would have expected to have beautiful flowers for at least a few days. We used this florist for clients and we will now be finding a different local florist in the Tysons Corner area. read more

I cannot say enough about how amazing the staff is here! This arrangement was incredibly important for a memorial. The phone receptionist understood the importance and had the floral designer speak with me to ensure details - it was beautiful, stunnig, and above my expectation to say the least when I saw it. Thank you for your kindness & compassion read more

Phoned in an order from California to get some roses sent to my darling, the florist had a delightful British accent. I called on a wed afternoon and they said they could have delivered Thursday if i wanted, but i didn't need it that soon. The multiple phone calls I received today tell me that they were beautiful and arrived early in the morning, just as promised. if you call after hours, they have a live answering service that will take your order and have a florist get back to you during their business hours. read more
