Willow Branch

uts Willow Branch above and beyond are its sustainability practices. They take so many steps to reduce their environmental footprint and source locally. My wedding was very flower-centric. I gave Willow Branch a general color scheme, asked them to source locally, and trusted them with the rest. Willow Branch's work absolutely floored me - they were everything I wanted and more and Willow Branch sourced each stem 100% locally. I was in tears when Mary Pearl delivered my bouquet. I couldn't be happier with my decision. Work with Willow Branch. Trust them. Trust their farmers. You will not regret it.

tensely about what everything would look like. What we couldn't have predicted was how unbelievably gorgeous everything would look, because our florals were so vibrant and fresh and beautiful. I have never seen flowers so bright and healthy as Willow Branch Flowers'. They really made everything else in our wedding pop, and I'm so happy I got my bouquet preserved so I can always have a piece of these gorgeous florals. They were so easy to work with, very responsive, and even stayed after the ceremony to help set up the reception. The arch was easily my favorite part, but every table and votive and even the flower girls' petals were absolute perfection. They are completely worth it and more. I HIGHLY recommend booking with them!

an art. From our initial phone conversation, to our first in person planning meeting, and beyond she aimed to please. She was attentive, kind, open to changes, offered suggestions while always wanting our honest feedback. She took the time to create a “mood board” that was so detailed. This helped to portray her vision on paper which allowed us to envision the outcome. This was so helpful! The tablescape she created was gorgeous. Using florals, an array of votives as well as floating candles, tapered candles, and greenery the tables were elegant, warm and my daughter said, “they took her breath away”! The head table was remarkable and oh, the arbor- it was stunning. She and her team were kind enough to stay until after the ceremony to move the arbor inside the venue for the reception. This was going above and beyond. Everything was simply done to perfection! Willow Branch pricing is fair and reasonable. Communication was easy and she was always quick to respond and happy to make any changes. I thank our planner, Details and Lace, for suggesting we meet Mary Pearl. Without Willow Branch the wedding would have never had the same outcome. When looking for a florist – choose Willow Branch.

n the tall vases, the traditional sized arrangements, the charming single stem blooms--they all blended perfectly. The escort card "garden" was lovely, so pretty. Every arrangement and bouquet was a dream but I do believe the most charming were the "tiny bouquets" and flower crowns for our adorable flower girls. I received so many compliments on your work. Well done and thank you.

even more beautiful than we could have imagined (I actually cried when I saw them). They also design a stunning chuppah for our ceremony. Thank you, Mary Pearl and Cathy!!

ing process, selecting details down to the compotes and bouquet ribbon color. They were also able to accommodate a last minute change from an indoor mantle arrangement to two beautiful outdoor urn arrangements. I highly, highly recommend them for your wedding florals! Thank you Willow Branch Flowers!

erything come to life perfectly! Thank you, Mary Pearl and Cathy! I highly recommend working with Willow Branch.

ece of our details were perfect and pristine. Mary Pearl and Cathy helped respond to all of my suggestions, questions, and many many changes over the year of planning - for which I feel so grateful! They were so patient, kind, and lovely. Their creative energy came through and when I was handed my bouquet it brought me to tears. Every single part of our day was stunning thanks to Willow Branch, I would recommend and use these two again and again! We love and adore you!

y, and Mary Pearl & Cathy fit what I was looking for in terms of foraging, using in-season / local blooms & composting after the event. Having a December wedding meant that I was looking for things that were white, green, and dusty blue, and I was very open to all options. I trusted in the vision that the ladies had for my big day and was totally blown away by everything they created for me. They were so flexible when I needed to adjust the order (very close to the day-of), responsive to email communication, and just generally pleasant to work with. It was an added bonus that they were able to provide candle arrangements along with the vases & holders - it meant that I didn't need to try and source / rent additional items. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for gorgeous flowers that won't break the bank and a duo that exudes passion about what they do.

e there setting up for a wedding. I got to see some behind the scenes of them setting up and I knew then I was going to hire them. Mary was so awesome to work with. She took my many visions and brought them to life. I must have changed plans 1000 times and I would apologize for adding or changing items, and she would go out of her way to assure me that I was fine. She is so sweet, and they did a stunning job. One of the items that I wanted was greenery on the beams of the venue ceiling, and she knocked it out of the park. She took a great deal in caring for my florals. She also stored some items I had bought to use in the table decor. When we first spoke about florals, she created a mood board with items they would use, and it helped me see my vision of what I wanted. I know nothing about flowers, and she took the time to help me. Mary is quick with responding to emails and was punctual!

loral archway they created for our ceremony made for the most stunning backdrop and brought literal tears to my eyes. During the planning process, we knew generally the color scheme and tone we wanted to set for our wedding, but otherwise didn’t give much more direction than that, but they took our vision and executed it flawlessly. The pop of wildflowers in our bouquets and the greenery draped on all of our tables and tent poles made for the most special touch and really elevated the overall reception space. They were also very responsive and helpful during the booking process. Thank you again for everything!

bouquet and chuppah!! We got so many compliments on how beautiful everything was. They were a part of making this wedding our DREAM and we would absolutely recommend them.

times, even after the deadline, but they were always so kind and accommodating about it! When my Dad, last minute, told me he wanted a boutonniere they were so unbelievably kind about adding it in. The day of my wedding they truly went above and beyond to help transform my space into a floral oasis – and dealt with even more last minute changes from me. The arrangements were perfect and they really helped to bring the space together for our wedding. I truly cannot recommend Willow Branch enough and I hope I get to work with them again in the future!

nning of planning my wedding that I wanted to invest in flowers. They were very high on my list!! Willow Branch really made the day so special and insanely beautiful!!!!

hy were so patient and kind in working with my now-husband and I when we had to postpone our wedding several times due to COVID. The inspiration boards that Mary Pearl and Cathy sent us after we simply described the color palettes/types of arrangements we hoped to include for our wedding were always on point, and we got many compliments about the flowers at our wedding. Also, just a month out from the wedding, I reached out to them about adding Bengali floral garlands as a traditional touch for our wedding; they happily obliged and knocked it out of the park!

eas for me based on my Pinterest board. They provided thoughtful feedback and ideas to help my vision come to life within my budget. The final product was everything I dreamed of and more. Willow Branch is professional, passionate, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend their services!

owers were pure perfection. I shared my vision with them and they went above and beyond to bring it to life. I'll never get over how beautiful the arrangements were. Book them - trust me, you will not regret it!

floral vision to life more than I could have asked. They are patient (answering many of my questions and happily pivoting when I changed my mind on things) and even came through on a last minute request the night before my wedding- bringing baby breath for my hair. They are both truly great and made my wedding so beautiful. I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!

ve and patient when we had to postpone due to the pandemic. They are so talented and will work with you within your budget. 100% recommend!

they were so great in helping me figure out how to make the most of my tight budget. I was blown away by how everything came together, and I can't recommend Willow Branch enough.

ery particular vision for a bright colorful summer bouquet and Willow Branch did not disappoint. The flowers were absolutely stunning and I am still getting compliments. Please do not hesitate to hire Willow Branch for your wedding florals!

ed with us through all of the changes without skipping a beat. When we finally got the big day, all of our flowers were absolutely beautiful! I highly recommend using Willow Branch!!

ower girl in my ceremony. i told them my colors and which flowers i liked and the arrangements they made for the bouquets and decorations were perfect!! they are wonderful people to work with. book willow branch!

y of the wedding I nearly cried they were so beautiful. They exceeded all of our expectations and then some! They were bright and fit our color scheme perfectly. We received so many compliments and they look amazing in our photos! Pricing was great for the beauty they added to our day. We cannot recommend Willow Branch enough!

e stayed within our floral budget, which was not very large. The bouquets, boutonnieres, and table arrangements were absolutely beautiful and even better than expected!

ot compliment after compliment on how beautiful the flowers were on my wedding day and I owe it all to them! Thank you for adding to the beauty of the day and being such an fantastic vendor! Potential brides and clients will be so thrilled with their work, I have no doubt.

respond to any of my questions/additions from day one through email and phone. Out of all the florists I talked to, Willow Branch gave me the most confidence they understood my vision for the day, from the ceremony to the reception space to the bouquet and boutonnieres. And on the wedding day, they were wonderful and a calming presence! It all looked spectacular, and they were extremely professional and friendly. They even had extra ribbon colors for my bouquet in case we needed to switch at the last minute (since it was all chosen through emails), which we ended up needing. My bouquet was all I could have imagined with the copper tones, the eucalyptus, the feathers, berries, and a wild feel, I wish I could carry it everywhere. I could go on and on, but I loved it all and can't recommend them enough!

as looking for (flowers to replicate my favorite buds which weren’t in season) and working within our budget. She provided wonderful advice and really made an effort to understand what I had in mind. I live over two hours away from Charlottesville and I felt as if Cathy was close whenever I needed her. As the day got closer, she met with my husband and I when we were able to make it into town (in the middle of her crazy wedding season), and reassured me that she was on top of everything I had asked for. The flowers were everything I had in mind and they really completed the look of the venue. I can’t recommend Cathy highly enough if you’re looking for affordable yet beautiful flowers for your wedding.

. She decorated our seating display perfectly, added special touches to the tables (dining and other display tables). A true delight to work with as well - very accommodating and patient. I highly recommend.

ate. We emailed back a few times and Cathy delivered beautiful flowers the day of! I’m so thankful that she was able to help us and made the whole process incredibly easy.

sy to communicate with throughout the whole planning process. I personally did not know much about flowers. I just knew generally what I was envisioning and would describe it to Cathy. I shared with Cathy my vision, primarily based on pictures from Pinterest, and Cathy managed to bring it to life in a way that was better than I could have imagined. She was able to work with our budget as well. All of our flowers were fresh and looked wonderful. We highly recommend Willow Branch Flowers!!

and my bridal bouquets just shined! I wanted to use tea tins for my table centerpiece vases and Cathy made it happen. I can't say enough about how satisfied I am with them.

Couldn't say enough positive things about their services!

mily and friends continue to talk about how beautiful and perfect the flowers were, and we joke that they steal the show in all our photographs. I explained what I was looking for and Cathy immediately knew what I wanted and provided great ideas and examples. She took the time to meet with me at the venue ahead of time and brought the most beautiful sample that was EXCATLY what I wanted, based solely off emails. She was so easy to work with and her floral arrangements were all amazing, she truly loves flowers and takes the time to make sure you have exactly what you picture for your wedding :)

bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages would look like with a variety of flowers to choose from. When they arrived on my wedding day, I was taken away by how gorgeous they looked. She took my simple vision and turned it into a beautiful reality.

was flexible and so eager to ensure that we achieved the vision that I had! She was respectful of budget and didn't try to sell me anything. Instead, she offered me her opinion and we would discuss back and forth until I found I liked. She was prompt on the day of and let me tell you, my flowers were gorgeous! Thank you Cathy and team!

ce settings. One bridesmaid is hoping to recreate her bouquet for her own wedding. Cathy was easy to work with, flexible with last-minute changes, and spent time with us to make sure she understood what we wanted. She was more affordable than other florists we considered, with even better results than we anticipated. Thanks Cathy!

my expectations, even after our many discussions about bouquets and table arrangements. So many people commented on our flowers and the unique candles/lanterns for the rustic feel we were going for. Cathy truly transformed our wedding space! She is very talented and also very kind, such a pleasure to work with.

iful, working with her was easy and friendly, and it was an all around enjoyable experience. I will highly recommend her to anyone getting married in the area.

nt with my requests, but also offered creative suggestions, which were so much better! She took my vision and completely blew it away with the bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, centerpieces, greenery garlands, and the CAKE FLORALS (OMG!). We got married in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and it was important to us to have seasonal flowers that looked wild - almost hand picked - but that were also elegant and timeless. Cathy totally delivered and it was a fairytale! I even had guests coming up to me telling me how good the entire venue smelled (it was the eucalyptus). If you are looking for a florist who can take your vision, and turn it into something more than you could have ever imagined, stop your search and book Willow Branch right now. You will be so happy!

a mock-up bouquet, boutonniere, and sample center piece and I was in LOVE. On the day of, she and her team came in and utterly transformed our venue. The flowers were breathtaking and not only visually transformed the barn, but aromatically transformed the barn as well! I can't sing her praises enough! She provided centerpieces, boutonnieres, bouquets, corsages, aisle arrangements, and a spectacular arbor arrangement. If you're looking for a florist who has the kindest heart and the best skill set, you've found your florist in Cathy!

ely stunning. I do not have the most artistic eye, but Cathy was able to take my somewhat limited vision and knowledge and turn them into something incredible. When I walked into our venue on the afternoon of our wedding and saw the flowers for the first time, I was moved to tears. I did not know I could love flowers that much. But they truly helped to make our wedding day picture book perfect. We got countless compliments throughout the day, and as I write this review I am staring at my bouquet, which is still gorgeous days later. I cannot recommend Cathy highly enough.

She stuck by her estimates, showed up exactly when she said she would, offered helpful and excellent advice, oversaw al the little set-up details, listened carefully to color and foliage ideas; she was easy going and helpful when things were a bit frazzled before the ceremony, and I cannot thank her enough for her wonderful help. She was an absolute star on our vendor team. We received so many compliments about the decor and the centerpieces, and Cathy took our budget concerns in perfect stride. She had no problem at all working within our limits, and made everything the best it could possibly have been. Love her.

She stuck around to make sure most of the wedding party got their boutonnieres and corsages. I wish that there would have been a bigger attempt to make sure that parents and grandparents had their flowers but things were a little hectic when the rain stopped. The flowers were a little more expensive than expected but they really were beautiful.
