Owner
I started in the floral industry when I was 15, working on weekends and holidays for florists in the Charlottesville area. When I was 19 I decided to open my own florist in my home town of Gordonsville. I have owned and operated Colonial Florist since 1975. I love creating designs that my bride has envisioned and it's such a joy to be a part of that special occasion! I love the look on my brides face when she see's the flowers! It's at that moment I know I have fulfilled my part and accomplished her dream. That's my goal!

hard to trust that a florist knows your vision and will be able to deliver what you're hoping for, but Donna's eye for detail was so reassuring. And our florals turned out better than we imagined! Donna was able to perfectly capture our vision. Our flowers were elegant, classic, and beautiful. On our wedding day, Donna was also so easy to work with and everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend Colonial Florist!

the cocktail tables, extra flowers for the cake, and candles. Donna was responsive to my emails and phone calls. She spoke with us before we had picked a florist and described what she could do and would recommend. As we got closer to the wedding she was able to make adjustments to the number of table decorations and arrangements we needed and sent me an updated invoice each time. On the day of the wedding, they drove to Leesburg, VA (2 hours away!) to do all of the setup. They returned after the reception was over and cleaned/got their items. The long drive did not cost anything extra. Donna even put live flowers in my cake since my bakery was not able to. I was so happy with how all of the lovely flowers turned out and would recommend Colonial Florist to anyone in search of a wedding florist.

Donna far exceeded expectations- we were going with a relatively small floral order (as it was combined with another vendor's botanicals) and she was super willing to work with us....
Very professional and responsive. She immediately understood what we were looking for and also was creatively aware of the need to complement the other centerpieces. My bouquet was also epic, lots of great spring colors and movement and she brought the garden indoors with our chuppah. Her shop is comes off as unassuming but she accomplished so much in bringing our venue to life with greenery and flowers.

We could not have had a better experience!!! I wasn’t super particular about the specific flowers and Donna knocked it out of the park!!! I told her a general vision and ideas for ...
our florals and she exceeded every single expectation!!!! They were always super responsive and prompt with any questions or changes that occurred through the planning process!

I cannot recommend Donna and Colonial Florist & Antiques enough. I knew I wanted floral to be the main component of the decor at our wedding, so I wanted to find the right florist ...
who could understand and execute what I had in mind, while also not costing half my wedding budget. No small feat, but Donna delivered! From our first call, I could tell she just "got it". She sent me over what she envisioned based on our conversations and it was spot on, and even better her pricing is so fair. She told me she doesn't believe in taking advantage of people and I really appreciate that as it is a hard quality to find nowadays. On the day of, everything arrived on time and was absolutely STUNNING. I had multiple guests ask just how much I had spent on the floral because it was so gorgeous. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Colonial Florist!
