Working with Lisa was amazing! She did such a great job of taking my inspiration pictures and making them come to life the day of. Communication was very prompt and she was very accommodating to whatever needs came up or changed along the way. I would recommend this company to everyone!
I LOVED our florals on our wedding day from Over the Top Flower Shop! I changed my mind/vision quite a few times from the time we booked them to the day of the wedding, and Lisa was super flexible and supportive as I struggled with some floral decisions. I couldn't be happier with the way the flowers arrived and how they added to the beauty of the day! I highly recommend Over the Top for all your floral needs!
Lisa and Katie were absolutely wonderful! They took my vision for the florals and made it into a reality. They were open to trying something they hadn't done before for the ceremony flowers and it went off without a hitch. All the flowers were so beautiful!
Working with Lisa from Over the Top was a wonderful and stress free experience for our daughter's wedding. She helped us bring our ideas to life and the flowers were all more beautiful than we had imagined. We had contacted several other Richmond area florists and we were not impressed with the lack of response. After our first meeting with Lisa we knew we had found our florist! Her proposal was detailed and it was obvious that she loves what she does. We received so many compliments on the wedding flowers and highly recommend her for your special event. She is the absolute best!
Lisa is absolutely amazing at what she does! We could not have asked for anything better for the flowers for our daughter's wedding. Communication was seamless and everything was so beautiful. 110% recommend her. Thank you again so much for helping make her wedding day so special!
Lisa is absolutely amazing! She took my vision of how I wanted our wedding to look and feel and brought it to life with the most beautiful flowers! Communication was perfect and had no issues with setup morning of the wedding day. I couldn’t be happier with how all of the flower arrangements turned out! Would highly recommend Over the Top Flower Shop for all of your needed flower occasions! :)
I haven’t gotten the chance to see Lisa’s work in action yet, but got the opportunity to have a meeting with her to plan out my vision and exactly what I’m imagining. Before even being booked, she took over two hours out of her day to speak with me to plan every detail down to the knit and gritty to ensure she nailed the vision. My wedding is ten months away and I’m already SO excited for what she’s going to pull together. Taking the time to speak to someone in such detail for so long meant so much to me and you can tell she’s so passionate about what she does!
I was one of the Corona brides who ended up making the painful decision to just cancel the wedding, so unfortunately I never got the chance to see what beautiful creations Lisa would have picked for us, but I'm here to sing the praises of her just being a great person. She was wonderful to work with through the entire booking process, was patient with us when we decided to rebook the wedding to a new date, and then was so heartfelt and supportive when we ultimately decided to cancel the wedding. I think the character of your vendors should matter and she is absolutely the kind of person you want on your side for your big day!
Lisa was absolutely amazing to work with. She really took the time to piece my "vision" for flowers together and make it come to life while staying within my budget. I can't tell you how many compliments I received on my bouquet alone--it was so beautiful! I also told Lisa a few weeks before the wedding that I would be building an arch to get married under and would need a floral spray for one side of it. Even though my arch wasn't as sturdy as it needed to be and the flowers were too heavy, Lisa stayed at the venue longer than necessary to figure out a solution and made sure that it wouldn't fall throughout the ceremony. Over the Top Flower Shop did such a wonderful job and I can't recommend them enough!
Lisa and Katie are so wonderful! The flowers for my wedding were perfect and they were so kind and easy to work with! Their talent was the perfect touch to bring everything together on our wedding day. So beautiful! Thank you so much! Highly recommend.
Lisa is really good at what she does. She knows flowers, where to get creative to meet a budget, and is willing to go the extra mile. I was very impressed with her professionalism, kindness, and florals! She did an excellent job, you will not regret using her!
From my first meeting with Lisa, I knew that Over the Top Flower Shop was going to be our florist! When it came to booking the vendors for our wedding, I first looked for people who were easy to communicate with and that brought me joy. Lisa brought such ease to me as I had been so nervous to talk about the flowers at my wedding. I knew what look I liked, but was not able to put it into words the way she so eloquently did. I had no idea what weddings flowers cost either, but knew what I was hoping to spend and how much we had budgeted for. Within moments of meeting with me and discussing my vision, Lisa had clued in to what kind of bride I was and began to help me design my dream florals. I gave her words like “fluffy, plush, and whimsical” which can be interpreted in many ways, but she showed me different types of blooms and options that immediately got me excited. One thing that I was adamant on was that I was not into the “greenery” look and that I was interested in the floral designs to be more focused on blooms than they were on leafy options. Lisa was so respectful and showed me options that helped to lower the cost of an “all bloom” arrangement while still sticking to my aesthetic. Now as the wedding approached, I started to get a little anxious and made changes to the original proposal that Lisa had done the year before when I booked them. As you can imagine, as the wedding planning continued, some of the plans changed. Over the Top Flower Shop was so easy and flexible with the changes and never made it seem like an inconvenience. As the wedding was approaching, I started thinking more and more about what the flowers would look like. The flowers on your wedding day are something that you don’t really get to see “full out” until the big day so I was nervous and excited to see how they’d turn out. I can tell you with 1030472% certainty that I could have NEVER dreamed up what the team at Over the Top Flower Shop delivered. Our floral arrangements, bouquets, and ceremony flowers exceeded my wildest dreams. I will never forget the feeling I had when my wedding bouquet got brought into the bridal suite. Tears welled up in my eyes as I saw the lush, gorgeous design of the bouquets. I carried my bouquet from the second I got it on my wedding day until I boarded the plane to my honeymoon. When people complimented our big day, one of the main things we heard was how beautiful our flower arrangements and bouquets were and I could not agree anymore. Do yourself the biggest favor and BOOK THEM!!!!! I am forever thankful we made the choice we did to go with them as our florist and will spend every opportunity I get recommending them to everyone I know!
They are excellent! I did not know much about flowers, but after meeting with them they took my rough ideas and made exactly what I had envisioned! The flowers at our wedding were incredible and everyone loved and commented on them! They are so nice and easy to work with! I would highly recommend choosing them to be your wedding florist!
Lisa was absolutely amazing! My bridesmaids wore a very specific dusty rose color and she matched the flowers PERFECTLY! Also I showed her multiple Pinterest inspiration pictures and recreated them flawlessly!
Over the Top did an amazing job on our flowers- from the bouquets to the centerpieces. Lisa was great with listening to what we were looking for and found some amazing flowers that matched my bridesmaid dresses beautifully. They were even very flexible when I needed to drop off lanterns for my centerpieces prior to the big day. I would definitely recommend them if you are looking for a great local business.
Can't say enough good things about this awesome mother-daughter duo and the GORGEOUS flower arrangements they put together for my wedding. I had known Katie previously through our college sorority, so I knew she had good taste :) But they really went above and beyond to make the process super easy and painless! With just a handful of inspiration pictures, they immediately keyed in to exactly what style I wanted and totally ran with it so that the end product was perfect!! Everyone commented on how beautiful the flowers were and I'm even having some of wreaths and my bouquet preserved, they were THAT gorgeous! I HIGHLY recommend Over the Top Flower Shop for any of your floral needs, you will not only end up with the prettiest of flowers, but you will have such an easy time working with Lisa and Katie - they are just wonderful, sweet people!!
You are not going to find anyone better! Katie and Lisa are amazing artists who relish an exciting design challenge. They both have such a creative spirit and eye for design. I saw another wedding they did at my wedding venue and wanted nearly the same design, but what they created for me was so much better! They were open about costs, creating a very specific quote for me, and had no problem changing designs, even up to the last minute. They were excited to collaborate with the wedding cake bakers, and together made a stunning cake loaded with gorgeous flowers that blows me away. They were also kind, supportive, and encouraging, with helpful advice and a shoulder to lean on during stressful wedding planning. I could not be happier!
I keep saying over and over again that I was blessed with the BEST vendors for our wedding, and this can’t be truer when it comes to Over the Top Flower Shop (OTFS)! This mother-daughter team is made up of fabulous Lisa K. and Katie B. From the moment I was welcomed into Katie’s lovely home for a consultation/first meeting, to the wedding day itself, Lisa and Katie ensured that I was in good hands. First, they strive to make all of your floral dreams come true by asking about your vision, inspiration, budget, etc. Then, they somehow DO make all of your floral dreams come true and THEN SOME! I am not kidding.
My vision consisted of mostly neutral/ivory flowers, pops of burgundy/marsala, and tons of greenery. I didn’t have lots of specific flower types in mind and relied on them to use their wonderful eye for beautiful combinations. Lisa and Katie drank up all of the “Pinspiration” I had and made my vision come to life. For the ceremony, I had a slightly cascading bouquet (flowers like roses, lilies, and mums in marsala, blush, and ivory—tucked into seeded eucalyptus, ruscus, etc.), smaller non-cascading versions for the bridesmaids, boutonnieres for the men, pin corsages for the mothers, a huge altar arrangement, etc. For the reception, we decided on floral centerpieces that cascaded out of oblong glass vases for some tables and fresh greenery garlands/runners for others. I didn’t plan to have a lot of other “decorations,” so flowers were really the focus.
I cannot tell you how many people marveled at the flowers during and after the wedding. I’m still hearing from guests who thought OTFS’ floral arrangements were absolutely incredible and the best they’d ever seen at a wedding (this is not an embellishment). The flowers and greenery were fresh, the arrangements were creative, and I got away with doing very little non-floral decoration. Also, I frantically messaged OTFS the night before the wedding because I was unable to create a few DIY crafts that were supposed to serve as focal pieces at the reception. Well, OTFS miraculously saved the day by creating a few additional floral arrangements that took place of the items I didn't have time to create, and they were gorgeous and included in my original bill. They even created a little surprise arrangement to go on top of my bird cage (for cards), which was such a sweet surprise when I arrived at the reception!
Thank you, Lisa and Katie, for making our wedding day so beautiful and caring so much about us and your work. We can't wait for another occasion to call on you again :)
