    Beautiful lilac-colored glads.
    Phillip A.

    After speaking to several florist who couldn't fill my order in time, I decided to give Nicola Flora a try. I was so impressed! Not only was I able to get the arrangement I wanted, it was available the very next day. The prices were very reasonable and the quality of their products is over the top. I'll definitely use them again for other occasions, and I highly recommend them to others.

    Memorial heart in UVA colors. So beautiful!

    The flowers that Nicole created for my friend's father's funeral were beautiful and really special to my friend. The personal touches were so appreciated and Nicole's talent is unmatched. Thanks so much, Nicole, for creating a bright spot during a difficult time. Your work speaks for itself! ‍

    What an amazing job!

    I came in when something else fell through and this place far exceeded my expectations. Incredible craftsmanship, creativity and product. Everyone commented at how beautiful the arrangement was. Thank you for perfectly giving me what I needed for this very hard day.

    Birthday Flowers
    Robert L.

    This is a different kind of review for me because I have never been in this shop, I have never ordered flowers from the shop, and I really don't know much about the shop from a personal experience. Here is what I do know. My dad is a 91-year-old gentleman who loves sending flowers to his female relatives on their birthdays, Valentine's Day, etc. He is not always the easiest person to deal with, but clearly this florist is able to understand what he wants and take his order. That's a big plus for me. The real reason I'm hitting them with five stars is their delivery guy. He always calls me to let me know that he's on the way with flowers. This week he called and let me know he was on the way but he was concerned because it was hot outside and didn't want to leave the flowers on the porch. I was at work and I went ahead and gave him the address of a neighbor who I knew would be home. He went ahead and deliver the flowers there. Now here's the kicker. He saw that another florist had delivered flowers to my wife for her birthday as well and went to the house and picked them up off of the porch and brought them to the neighbor who had already delivered the flowers that my father had ordered. That is a level of customer service that deserves five stars! Let's all work to keep these local folks in business!

    Nicola Flora arranged 4 sets of beautiful white peonies for an engagement party. They did a great job and were very professional.

    Beautiful, Blue Flowers for a funeral.
    Sandra H.

    I was ordering 2 funeral arrangements for the husband of a woman I didn't know well. I live about an hour away from where the funeral was to be held. I called Nichole and she was wonderfully understanding and knew exactly what I wanted. She made suggestions, gave me hints and convinced me that the flowers would beautiful! They were! Just beautiful. She agreed to send pictures of her finished products! And here they are! Nichole is my new favorite Richmond florist! Thank you so much!

    Lovely little cardinal bouquet

    I ordered the cute little cardinal bouquet for delivery to my grandmother for her birthday (I do not live in Richmond) and she absolutely loved it! I ordered online seamlessly and got an email confirmation upon delivery.

    Here's the beautiful arrangement that Nicola Flora came up with in very little time. Thank you so much!

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!

This was a smaller order for them but they were happy to help. I sent a couple of emails with pictures to give them an idea of what I was looking for and they nailed it. The wedding was held two hours away from them but luckily they coordinated with my photographer (who lived in their area) for her to deliver the flowers. I was originally going to put together my own bouquets but so glad I spent the money. They were very reasonable and the quality was amazing. My bridal bouquet was so beautiful, I didn't want to put it down! I would highly recommend The Proper Petal for your future floral needs!

I heard from guest after guest after guest that our flowers were the most beautiful flowers they had ever seen at a wedding. My mother was so pleased with Kristen & Sarah's work she wanted to take every flower back home to Massachusetts with her after the wedding. Kristen and Sarah covered the spectrum. My bouquet was remarkable, they put together gorgeous arrangements for our rehearsal dinner & wedding, and they even decorated barn doors we made that were supposed to be on the lawn for our reception. Unfortunately by mid afternoon the forecast was looking terrible, and they rearranged the flowers and greenery inside the tent and created another masterpiece. I have never seen anything more spectacular! They were so easy to work with and super responsive. I highly recommend them for all your floral needs!

    BEWARE: Great talk, zero delivery. I called and placed an…read moreorder with Christopher Flowers, talking through the design in detail. 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.

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.
