I feel like we were robbed. My sister was very well loved and received over 50 arrangement, Peace Lilies, bouquets, bleeding hearts, wreaths and such beautiful flowers from other florist. The amount was just incredible. This mess of a wreath stuck out as unfinished and unprofessional. I was embarrassed to say the least. Other florist really delivered the MOST, beautiful. The florist dept closes at 3 pm daily. They do not return calls. Please dont waste your money like I did. Bland florist many people ordered, from as I collected cards. I recommend BLAND not this place!

I LOVED how their landscaping is an inspiration heaven. We parked next to the most beautiful snapdragons and succulents and flowers I couldn't identify (but I took a picture and one of the workers immediately identified it and showed me the options they have in all of the gorgeous colors). We were asked by no less than 6 employees if they could help find what we were looking for, if we needed help deciding, if we needed more info on how to tend a plant we were looking at. This is NOT the kind of customer service you get in the garden department at generic chain stores, this is... mega service. It was so helpful because we went in with an idea of what we wanted and - rather than letting us buy something that would die immediately in the location we wanted to put it - a helpful fella gave us the pros and cons of our other options or how we could build up the area we wanted to make the sunlight work for us. Options: wow. They have EVERYTHING. We had choices galore! We want pretty flowers, vegetables, fruit trees, decorative greenery, and they have it all. I am almost overwhelmed with the choices they have. How do you pick the prettiest choice when everything is more gorgeous than the last?!?! The prices are pretty great too. We had been looking at fig trees online and they were the same price - but local and you don't have to worry about it dying in transit! And I KNOW this one thrives in this zone, because it is already alive and well in their beautiful outdoor space. There is so much to see, they even have koi, local honey, stained glass plant picks made by a local artist, wind chimes, plant food... I definitely need a bigger yard to make my yard look more like this green Eden. I'll be back for more plants Monday. And for my Christmas tree in November. And many MANY times in between.

She also called again on the day of delivery to let me know that the flowers had been delivered, but left on the porch since my friend was out; and advised me to let my friend know. Really appreciated the constant follow up and communication. The flowers are also beautiful! Attached is a photo of the bouquet that my friend received. Thank you for helping me make my friend's birthday special. Would definitely recommend supporting this business!

I ordered a corsage and boutonniere that was supposed to be bright white roses, and was told to put them in fridge immediately and they would last until the kids dance the following day. Since they were not open on Saturdays she said they would be fine if I kept them in fridge. Well I followed their instructions and when it came time to take them out of fridge and put them on they were all brown looking. For the price I paid for them I was highly disappointed. But again the customer service was amazing and I would come back to order flowers from them just probably not corsages and boutonnieres.

Ordered flowers from here for my mother for Mother's Day. Needless to say, the arrangement was…read morequite disappointing. The flower arrangement itself was a completely different color scheme then that of the arrangement that I ordered & I ordered the arrangement I did because the colors in the arrangement shown were my mother's favorite colors. The arrangement I ordered was supposed to have bright pink roses, lavender hibiscus, and dark purple carnations with leaves to add greenery. However, the arrangement my mother received was a disarray of the same flowers in multiple colors that didn't even blend well together (burnt orange hibiscus, purple carnations, and dusty pale mauve & dark pink roses). Needless to say, the arrangement was less than impressive, especially because the flowers themselves were not even good quality. They were wilted and crunchy upon delivery and petals were falling off (I don't even think they'll make it to the end of the week if I'm being honest). Additionally, I believe the arrangement was so inconsistent in color & quality because they ran out of the correct flowers to make my mother's arrangement, there were actual ROSE BUDS (un-bloomed roses) in my mom's arrangement as if they were put there to compensate for the actual roses that should have been there & even the rose buds looked old and wilted like they should have been thrown out in the process of making the arrangement but were instead used to fill space. Imagine paying the upcharged $90 for a premium arrangement to be delivered and then finding out that your mother received bottom of the barrel scraps for flowers that also, in turn, AESTHETICALLY DISPLAYED the lack of regard past a point of explanation. The whole ordeal is beyond disappointing & upsetting because after all, this is only MY MOTHER we are talking about here, SHE ONLY CARRIED ME IN HER BODY FOR 9 MONTHS, SHE ONLY KEPT ME ALIVE FOR 18+ YEARS, SHE ONLY GAVE ME LIFE. I can honestly say if you're looking to get some good quality flowers for a loved one for any occasion or if you need a floral arrangement that will truly be worth every dollar spent, this is NOT the establishment to go to because between the quality of the flowers used and the arrangement produced, it's quite unacceptable. My mother deserved BETTER & your loved ones do too!

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.

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.
