We booked Annette for our wedding and I am so happy we did. From the beginning, Annette was incredibly easy to work with, quick to respond to emails, informative and knowledgable about floral design, professional, and just a wonderful person to speak to! Annette worked with our budget and discussed my vision and ideas and helped bring them to life. Annette communicated with me multiple times on my wants for my bouquet, which I changed my mind on a few times, as well as included last minute changes and requests to the floral design. Annette was so incredibly helpful during this stressful time, by being kind, patient, and knowledgeable. Her pricing is more than fair. Last but certainly not least, Annette's work speaks for itself. She is an incredible florist and is so talented in her art. She designed the most beautiful bouquets, the perfect boutonnieres, table floral decor, and garland, while keeping within my budget. Annette went above and beyond to perfectly execute our requests and beautifully designed our wedding. I would recommend Annette to any of my friends, and would certainly hire her again in a heartbeat. Do not hesitate to reach out to her, once you do, you will easily see why she has such high ratings!!

Annette and her business Floraworx were an absolute dream to work with for our wedding flowers. From start to finish, Annette was extremely pleasant, professional, and accommodating.
We had a large wedding with over 180 guests, and Annette rose to the challenge beautifully. She was committed to bringing our vision of a boho modern wedding to life and made sure we could truly maximize the use of our flowers throughout our big day. Her creativity and attention to detail were evident in every arrangement.
What impressed me most about Annette was her flexibility and timeliness. Wedding planning can be stressful, but working with Floraworx was always a breeze. Annette was always punctual with her deliveries and responsive to our needs and requests.
I first learned about Floraworx when Annette did an amazing job for my best friend's wedding, where I was a bridesmaid. After seeing her work firsthand, I knew I had to have her for my own wedding. Now, having experienced her services myself, I can confidently say that Annette and Floraworx exceed expectations every time.
If you're looking for a florist who can bring your wedding flower dreams to life, look no further than Annette and Floraworx. Her talent, reliability, and wonderful personality make her an ideal choice for any couple. I would recommend her services over and over again without hesitation.

I loved working with Annette. She was so thoughtful and professional about everything. We were able to work together to ensure I was able to stay in budget and still have the big boxes I wanted checked. I didn't see her the day of, just the flowers, but she nailed it- I LOVED it. I would work with her again in a heartbeat ,it felt so seamless.

Annette was great to work with! We had such a difficult time finding a vendor in our price range that would do partial flowers - we only wanted bride and bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages. After showing Annette the flowers we liked and some inspirational photos, she came back with a whole document telling us what she could provide with the season and what she could not, and then offered alternatives. Included in the price was also delivery which made it the day that much easier. She also worked with our coordinator well so that we had a seamless day. She also provided two pocket boutonnieres and a toss bouquet which was unexpected! And it turns out we needed them due to unforeseen circumstances!
And the flowers were BEAUTIFUL. They were fresh, delivered promptly, kept in water containers so they could stay fresher longer and they were wrapped in beautiful satin.

Annette was a dream to work with! We gave her a concept of game pieces in the centerpieces, boho florals, and challenged her to help us find the right decor for a chuppah! She delivered - and we couldn't have been happier. We had an easy time communicating with her, and her document that included all the flowers she suggested became a huge help when we selected other decor. She also guided us on what the easiest things were for our budget - it was Mother's Day weekend after all, and flowers are expensive! She worked within our budget and even helped us make a change to the table numbers a couple weeks before. Her professionalism and creativity truly delivered. Our chuppah was gorgeous, my flower crown enchanting, and the centerpieces added whimsey to a fabulous day.
Working with Annette as an LGBTQ+ couple was also helpful - she understood we'd have more bridesmaids, more of a feminine look, and found ways to help balance the florals. My bouquet ended up as greenery, a fantastic complement to my wife's floral bouquet. She set the tone and delivered exactly what we wanted!

Annette is one of the sweetest people!! You can tell upon meeting her that she is truly passionate about her work.
We got married just a couple of weeks ago in early April and had a bit of a smaller budget for florals. Annette was so knowledgeable and was willing to work with us to stay within our budget.
We wanted to use bud vases for our centerpieces and Annette gave the amazing suggestion to repurpose the bridesmaid bouquets to help cut down on cost. So half of our centerpieces had 3 bud vases and the others had a bridesmaid bouquet + 1-2 bud vases.
We truly appreciated how much she listened and considered our budget when making suggestions. I am also not super knowledgeable on types of flowers, so I also really appreciated the detailed breakdown and explanations for why she picked certain flowers. We were also able to ship the vases directly to her house which made things easy.
Cannot recommend Annette and FloraWorx enough - great communication, easy to work with, and BEAUTIFUL arrangements! We're in the process of making pressed keepsakes so we can hold onto our flowers even longer. Thank you again for everything, Annette!!

I will admit that I was the bride that was oblivious when it came to flowers. I was unsure which floral arrangements I wanted and what would work best. Annette made me feel at ease and took the time to explain the different types of floral arrangements, the flowers that would be in season at the time of my wedding (Oct 2021), how to repurpose floral arrangements to stay within budget, and she helped me make decisions that aligned with my vision. She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about her craft and it shows. I sent her screenshots of bouquets that I liked and to my surprise, she delivered even more impressive bouquets and floral arrangements at my wedding. Every direction I turned, I got emotional seeing all of the beautiful floral arrangements that she designed. Annette was friendly, extremely responsive, accommodating, flexible, and professional. She far exceeded my expectations and I will absolutely book her again for future events. Thank you for making my wedding so beautiful!

Annette is a flower master! I only cried one time during my whole wedding day and that was the moment Annette had dropped off our flowers. She was able to take my vision and bring them to life. She thought of everything I didn't. As a matter of fact, I love her work so much I can't bring myself to get rid of my bridal bouquet - it is in my freezer under protest from my family :) I highly recommend using her for any of your special floral needs.

Working with Annette was a dream! She was responsive, sweet, and funny. She worked with our budget and somehow still made the most beautiful and amazing wedding bouquets I have ever seen. And the flowers must have been super fresh because my bouquet still looked great two weeks after my wedding. She is incredible!

I am the bride's mother, and my job was to arrange for a florist for my daughter's tiny, COVID wedding. However, I live in the Boston area (yes, Boston, Massachusetts), and I know nothing about flowers. Annette from FloraWorx came to my rescue! She understood exactly what I wanted even though I didn't have a picture or a very articulate vision. The ceremony was at the Edgar Allen Poe Museum in Richmond, and she did a marvelous job! The flowers fit the venue perfectly! And we were able to use flowers from the decorations as centerpieces at the dinner after the ceremony.

Annette was absolutely fantastic to work with from beginning to end! I was completely blown away when I saw my wedding flowers and bouquet. Everything was more gorgeous than I had ever even imagined. Annette really listed to what I wanted and delivered exactly what I asked for. She was extremely knowledgeable about flower and always very responsive to my questions. I would recommend FloraWorx over and over!

I had a very specific image in mind when planning my wedding flowers and Annette absolutely nailed it! She is very knowledgeable, flexible, and so easy to work with. She helped me with decisions about flower choices and was always available to answer questions. Annette only books one wedding per weekend to ensure that her time is dedicated to making everything perfect, and her commitment and dedication show in every detail of her work. She made beautiful bouquets for myself and my 4 bridesmaids, boutonnieres for the guys, 2 large arrangements for the ceremony, and 15 centerpieces for our reception. Everything was absolutely beautiful and we got countless compliments from guests on our wedding flowers. I would 100% recommend Floraworx and Annette for your wedding – you won’t regret it!

Annette captured my flower vision perfectly. We met with a few florists, and she was the only one that didn't try to make my vision fit a formula, but was able to give make a beautiful sunshine yellow and sage bouquet filled with wild flowers.
I also sent her lanterns for the centerpieces, which were so adorable, and lended to the English Garden Party theme. She was able to adjust the plans and use them without any trouble.

Annette did a great job with our flowers for our August wedding in 2018. When meeting with her all I knew is that I wanted lilies in my bouquet and that my colors were teal and orange. She walked me all the types of flowers I could use, even a blue orchid (which I decided not to use because it was not a natural color). She asked me questions I had not thought to ask plus she worked with my budget. She recommended alternatives that would work and be better priced due to the time of year. She also let me borrow her vases. She was very pleasant to work with. The only thing that was a little difficult is that she took a while to get back to me after her quote. Apparently there was something wrong with her email. But she corrected and handled very professionally. Afterwards I never had a problem reaching her. She did a great job with all our arrangements and would highly recommend her to a bride to be.

When we first met with Annette, I knew that we were going to choose her as our florist. She was so excited about my vision, and had so many ideas within our first conversation. She was incredibly knowledgeable and really helped guide my vision. More than that though, she was just so accommodating. She did her best to make sure we got our money’s worth, and included a handful of things for no charge.
The day of, her work was absolutely astounding. It was everything I wanted it to be and more. She added flowers everywhere, and it looked so incredibly beautiful. My flower crown was literally perfect, and my bouquet was stunning. My girls’ bouquets were the perfect accents with their black dresses, and the guys’ boutonnieres were simple and elegant. Annette’s floral work was breathtaking, and I am so thrilled that we went with her for our wedding.

Annette was wonderful to work with for our wedding from the beginning--she was relaxed, responsive, helped us work within our budget as we adjusted items, and was helpful in working with our ideas and providing guidance and very helpful suggestions. The flower arrangements (bouquets, table centerpieces, and boutonnieres) were so gorgeous and even more beautiful than I had pictured--she perfectly captured what I had wanted and then some.

I was so impressed with Annette! She made my fall pumpkin decor ideas come alive and the colors really popped. She was really easy to work with and was timely in her responses to me. I had never met her in person until my actual wedding day and she was able to take our conversations and emails and make them happen and look AMAZING!! She was also really reasonably priced. I would highly recommend her!!

Overall, my husband and I had an OK experience with using FloraWorx as a wedding vendor. Some of the pros and cons of their service were as follows:
Pros: 1) Very reasonably priced for the quality of goods that we received. Annette was very helpful at finding ways to help us save on cost. 2) Annette also has a very relaxed/calm demeanor, yet was very responsive during the planning process. She was very accommodating regarding in-person meetings, speaking over the phone, and answering emails. 3) Minus “Con #2” and “Con #3” below, the rest of the floral arrangements, including centerpieces, ceremony arrangements, corsages, and boutonnieres, were beyond our expectations. Many guests commented on how unique the floral touches were. Annette did a great job keeping in-line with our wintry theme, and the flowers were so fresh that the arrangements lasted for weeks after the event.
Cons: 1) As we booked this vendor almost a year out from our wedding, we made several adjustments to our contract throughout the planning process. Unfortunately, not all of the changes were captured in formal updates to the contract, which I believe could be a contributor to “Con #2” below. 2) The vision for the bridesmaid lanterns was to have floral toppers for the lanterns with small votives inside them. I provided a picture to the vendor, Annette, over email of what I envisioned the lanterns to look like; however, the language in the contract was vague, and upon reading it again I can understand why there was confusion and why the flowers/greenery were put inside of the lanterns as opposed to being placed on the top/outside. Fortunately, our ceremony occurred while there was still daylight outside, otherwise the lack of candles in the lanterns would have ruined the look. 3) The size of my bridal bouquet was smaller than what I had envisioned a “full” bouquet to be, per the language in the contract. Fortunately, I was not using the toss bouquet so pieces from this were able to be incorporated in the bridal bouquet to bolster the size a little.

Annette does an amazing job! She worked with me to get an idea of what flowers I liked and was very responsive throughout the whole process. She seamlessly coordinated dropping off flowers to the church and then to the reception venue. It was nice to have someone I could trust to get everything right. Most importantly, the arrangements, bouquets and boutonnieres were stunning! Exactly what I wanted.

Annette completely brought my vision to life for our early October wedding. She went above and beyond for us; driving over an hour to meet with us a few times, she stuck within our smaller budget, and recommended in season flowers that we even more stunning than the ones I had previously wanted. She offered to lend an ear at any time if I needed any advice or just wanted to bounce ideas off of her. Annette is so personable and made me feel like I was her only bride, though I know she was extremely busy most of the time. She takes great care in her work and it shows! Her floral arrangements are absolutely stunning and all of our flowers took my breath away. I wish I had more reasons to order flowers! If you are looking for an excellent florist then look no further!

Annette works with you to make sure you have the colors and type of flowers you want within your budget. She made sure that my day had the color scheme and allergens (low/no scent flowers). Flowers are top quality, many other florists where I saw their bouquets and items when seeing their setup at bridal expos had problems with flowers that were already wilted or damaged. Everything delivered and received was in pristine condition. If you're looking for great flowers for your special day and for someone to help you fit to your budget with the quality use FloraWorx.

My experience with Annette Tomes was amazing! Choosing her to be my florist for my wedding day was the best decision that I made. When I met with her to discuss the flowers that I wanted to have for my wedding, she listened to everything that I said, gave me other ideas, and told me that she would try and give me the best price possible. She stayed true to her word! All of the arrangements for the wedding were absolutely beautiful! She even made a little wrist band with a few flowers on it for my 6 month old daughter to wear during the wedding ceremony. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone that wants someone that is great at what she does, cares about making your wedding day perfect, responds immediately to phone calls and emails, and someone who is one of the nicest people I have ever met.
