Foxtail Cottage Floral did our wedding flowers and they knocked it out of the park! Our colors were orange and blue, and I was nervous how those colors would look together, but man was I proven wrong! The bouquets were absolutely stunning, and I would hire Foxtail again in a heartbeat! They were extremely responsive, and pickup was so easy and convenient. Thanks Foxtail!!

Karen and hear team were a dream to work with! We got married at Keswick Vineyards in October 2023. They were so helpful in the beginning of the planning process as we didn’t know how to put our vision together. They were able to guide us and help us make some big decisions. They were so flexible when we wanted to make some large additions to our contract a few weeks before the wedding. They quickly updated our proposal and sent us ideas to match what we were looking for. They even went to Keswick a few weeks before the wedding to re-familiarize themselves with the property. During that visit, Karen noticed that one of our plans for the tent entrance might not be ideal and that that we should make some alterations. I was more than happy to go along with what they recommended. The arrangements and tent décor were breathtaking. We had so many compliments on how beautiful the florals were throughout the wedding. The reception at our venue was in a tent (though it is a beautiful, hand stitched tent and not your typical plastic, rented rent). I wanted to make it feel elegant and classy, and they absolutely delivered. The look they created was more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. I unfortunately did not have a lot of in person interaction with the team on the day of, but my dad ran into them while they were setting up and mentioned how kind and professional they were. I would 100% recommend working with Foxtail Cottage if you have the opportunity.

Foxtail Cottage Floral is the absolute best florist, hands down. I have had the pleasure of knowing this incredible team for the last four years. I had known since the first time I encountered their business that I wanted them to do florals for my wedding if I ever got married. I am not kidding, when I got engaged, Foxtail's Karen was one of the first individuals I called!
To say that she knocked it out of the park would be an understatement. The florals were absolutely perfect. I sent them my inspiration and color scheme, and they ran with it. So many guests said that the florals were the most beautiful they'd ever seen. My bouquet was a work of art!! I am simply in awe. I am working on preserving as many of the flowers as I can because they were just so amazing. They are very reasonable as well. I cannot recommend Foxtail enough!

Karen and her team make incredible arrangements! They brought my ideas to reality and were so easy to work with. I changed my mind a few times and they were quick to update my proposal to match my request.

Karen and her team created incredibly beautiful bouquets, sprays, greenery draping, and table arrangements for our daughter’s wedding at Guildford Farm. They were so nice and easy to work with. They were very responsive and had quick turnaround, providing us with updated detailed proposals any time we needed to make a change. We did have to make changes several times times due to guest count and table type and quantity changes. The flowers were absolutely beautiful and the different height and type of arrangements they suggested and created for different tables really added a spectacular depth and breadth to the event space. The ornamental grasses they used in the arrangements on the arbor for the ceremony made for a stunning display. We were impressed with how Foxtail was cost conscious in making their recommendations and how they provided so much beauty at a reasonable price. We were so happy we could use the larger arrangements the next day to adorn the steps and porch of the house for a breakfast—an unexpected and added bonus!

We arranged to do self-pickup with Foxtail for our wedding because Foxtail was scheduled to do a full-service wedding already the weekend of our wedding, and so could not provide delivery services. Foxtail was able to do the arrangements for us to pick up the day before. Foxtail prepared two bridal bouquets, several bridesmaids bouquets, and corsages and boutonnieres for others in the wedding, as well as a garland to adorn our arbor. At our request, Foxtail also provided wholesale flowers for us to arrange for centerpieces. We asked Foxtail to customize the two brides' bouquets to feature each bride's particular favorite flowers, and not only did we receive two beautiful bouquets, Foxtail also customized each bridal party's bouquets to match their bride's bouquet. The bouquets turned out beautifully, and the garland, which incorporated the same flowers in our bouquets as well as greenery, made our arbor look so festive. The centerpieces that we made with the cut loose flowers also were lovely.
We did have a communication issue with Foxtail on the day of pickup, however, with Foxtail not being there for pickup at the agreed-upon time due to their putting the wrong pickup time on their calendar. We also had trouble getting a hold of them when we arrived to pick up the flowers and no one was at the shop - it was only through an Instagram message from our coordinator that we were able to get a hold of them and figure out the mixup. Besides this miscommunication, the flowers they provided were beautiful and we really appreciated the way that they incorporated our special requests for the two bridal bouquets and bridal parties.

After consulting with a few different florists, I ultimately chose Foxtail Cottage because of their ability to listen to my vision and turn it into something absolutely creative and beautiful, all while accommodating my budget. When my fiancé and I changed our wedding from an indoor to a tented reception, they provided helpful insight and suggestions and we’re also flexible when we decided to go back to original indoor plan. All of the bouquets, boutonnières, centerpieces, ceremony displays, etc. matched perfectly with our venues aesthetic and looked beautiful all night long.

Foxtail Cottage did an amazing job with our wedding flowers! They gave helpful suggestions for flowers that would look great with our color scheme and excitedly jumped on board with some of my ideas of adding succulents throughout all of the wedding florals and using hoops for my bridal party instead of traditional bouquets. My bridal bouquet took my breath away! Thank you for your fantastic work!

Foxtail Cottage Floral was great! Darby was super responsive and easy to work with. I told her the color scheme and the vibe I was going for and the flowers came out better than I could have dreamed. They really nailed the look I was going for and I could not be happier. I would definitely recommend working with them for your wedding to anyone.

When I saw my wedding flowers and decor (right before my wedding ceremony) I was brought to tears. Karen and her team executed my vision so perfectly! It was absolutely stunning. Karen was the only florist who offered to sit down with me and discuss my vision (before I signed on or made any payments). She talked with me on 2 occasions for 2 hours about my wedding. What she did for my wedding made it perfect. I cannot thank her enough. I highly recommend using her for your wedding.

The centerpiece arrangements, bouquets, and accent greenery were beautiful and very well done! However, there were a few issues which had to be resolved the day before and day of the wedding. We were providing wine bottles for the centerpiece flowers to go in and Foxtail Cottage emailed us the day before the wedding asking when they could get the bottles at their shop to get the centerpieces set. This was not something that had been communicated previously and we assumed that the bottles could be filled at the venue the day of the wedding based on that lack of comment. We were able to get this resolved and Foxtail Cottage picked up the bottles from us the morning of the wedding. Additionally, Foxtail Cottage communicated to our day of coordinator that they were supposed to be picking up 30 wine bottles to be filled with flowers rather than the 10 bottles that was agreed upon in the contract. This was again shortly resolved with the help of our coordinator and when Foxtail Cottage looked back over the contract. Overall, I would recommend Foxtail Cottage Florals because they do beautiful work and the issues that we experienced were relatively small and easily resolved.

Karen and her team are amazing. I initially met with Karen when I first started planning my wedding and I had no idea what I wanted. Karen guided me and provided her expert advice to help me come up with a vision. She’s talented and tasteful, which shows in her work. The prices are extremely reasonable and Karen does not skimp on anything. Every arrangement I received was luscious and full. My wedding flowers were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined (and more beautiful than anything I’ve ever seen on Pinterest too!). I would recommend Foxtail Cottage to anyone and everyone. They’re the best.

We used Foxtail Cottage for both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding, and got amazing results for both! They were careful to not have overlapping elements between the two events, but made sure they were both beautiful. We got so many compliments on the flowers and bouquets from our friends and families. Foxtail Cottage was very easy to work with, and even helped us to choose things that could be repurposed from the ceremony to the reception, helping us to keep costs manageable. I highly recommend them for any event!

Beautiful. Stunning. Simple. My flowers looked exactly like the idea boards that I walked through with Foxtail Cottage. They could not have been more perfect and matched exactly what I envisioned on my wedding day. This florist was so easy to work with and were extremely accommodating with last minute ideas and changes I had for my wedding day.

The team at Foxtail Cottage Floral somehow took the ideas in my head that I could barely form into words and my ideas of Pinterest and somehow made my wedding more beautiful that I could ever imagine. They were also every understanding with our lack of flower knowledge and lack of pricing knowledge.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for the amazing decor and flowers for our special day! If you are looking for the perfect florist, here they are. My husband and I spoke and met with them one time, told them what we envisioned and pretty much left everything up to them. When I saw our ceremony and reception for the first time, I was in awe! Foxtail is incredibly talented and made everything perfect!

Karen and the Foxtail Cottage Team are truly the best around. They were easy to communicate with, quick to respond, and really captured my vision for our wedding day florals.
We had some last minute addition for our rehearsal dinner that they were so kind to accommodate. We received nothing but compliments about the bouquets and arrangements all weekend.
Foxtail Cottage has cultivated an awesome team of artists to help make our wedding beautiful, and the planning process seamless.

The flowers for my daughter's wedding were absolutely stunning. Everything, from the bouquets to the flower girls' crowns to the ceremony flowers were exquisite. Karen and her team absolutely rock. They were friendly and flexible and worked hard to cater to our desires and tastes. Karen is an artist and very skilled at what she does, but she also was not above getting on a ladder to install the arrangements on the pergola for the ceremony. Many, many stars for Foxtail Cottage Floral!

Karen and the entire team at Foxtail Cottage did an amazing job with the flowers for our wedding. As someone without much vision for flowers, meeting with Karen was very helpful, she was able to take my very limited thoughts and suggest arrangements that turned out great. I got tons of comments on how good the flowers looked throughout the night and afterward.

Foxtail Cottage was wonderful - I was fortunate enough to have talented family members prepare the majority of our floral arrangements, but I decided to have the bridal and bridesmaids' bouquets (6 in total) done professionally. Even though it was a small order and I only gave them about a month's notice and some vague guidelines to go with a photo I provided, the Foxtail team was so helpful and knowledgeable, and they provided bouquets of my dreams. My bouquet even had a succulent in it that I was able to pot after the wedding as a beautiful green reminder! Thank you!

Karen worked with my planner, mom, and me. This was a destination wedding and we asked for unorthodox flowers. She helped us realize a great vision for our tables and gave us bountiful bouquets. I would have asked to make corsages and boutonnieres a bit fuller, but they were still beautiful. My bridal bouquet smelled AMAZING and was gorgeous!

Karen and her team did an incredible job with the flowers at our wedding. We got married outdoors (Grace Estate Winery) in September, and wanted something bright, colorful, and wild. Everything was gorgeous - from the chuppah to the bouquets to the table arrangements. I am so grateful to her for bringing our vision to life and making our wedding day so special!

Karen and her team were a dream to work with! I plan conferences and galas for a living so when it came to our wedding I had very specific taste. We popped into Foxtail Cottage to work with Karen on the design and it was amazing the energy she has and we just kept getting more excited about creating something special. She completely took my vision and elevated to a level I wasn’t expecting. I still look back on our pictures and can’t believe it’s our wedding - Foxtail Cottage is top notch!

I highly recommend Karen and her team at Foxtail Cottage. My daughter and I met with several florists in the Charlottesville area before her wedding but easily chose Foxtail because we were so pleased that Karen really listened and understood as my daughter described her vision for the bouquets and other arrangements. Karen suggested specific flowers and greenery that perfectly fit this vision. The Foxtail Cottage team then created the most beautiful floral arrangements I have ever seen at a wedding! One of my best memories of this day will always be the flowers.

Karen and her team did an amazing job at our September 2017 wedding at the Clifton Inn. All of our guests were blow away at how they transformed a tent into an enchanted forest. We feel we got a good value for the impact and extent of the floral program we had. If you are looking for someone creative with a can-do attitude, Foxtail Cottage is your place.

Incredible! Karen called me right when I was about to sign with another florist. Her quote blew me away and I knew she was what I needed to make my daughter's wedding beautiful. Throughout many changes and additions, Karen was incredible to work with and made it so simple. What we got was beyond beautiful and I had so many compliments on the flowers. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is having a wedding in the Charlottesville area.

Amazing - AMAZING! This team took my very vague ideas and ran with them to really make my wedding like a rustic-yet-elegant fairy tale. They gave me such great ideas and really worked with me to find the perfect vision. I wasn't originally planning on doing some of the things that they suggested but they were so creative that I loved every idea! I'm glad I chose them - they really helped the entire wedding come together and we got compliments on the centerpieces all night!
