    Beautiful flowers and willing to flex with us!

    Holly absolutely crushed our wedding florals! From the start she was patient and flexible as we learned what was possible with our modest budget. She recommended ways to execute our vision within our budget from the very start, and when we ended up with more tables and needing more flowers she pivoted with us to make sure we didn't have to compromise. The flowers ended up STUNNING and blended perfectly with my dress and the venue as a whole, and she even suggested a few tiny changes to what we discussed originally to make them even more beautiful. I can't recommend her highly enough.

    Carper's Weddings was AMAZING!

    Holly at Carper's Weddings was absolutely amazing! She made the entire process such a breeze, and the results were beautiful. We didn't have a great vision for my flowers and Holly was able to take the few pictures I sent and make the final result exactly what we wanted. Her communication was always quick and she was flexible with every change I asked for along the way. I would recommend using Carper's Weddings for any flowers in the future!

    Thank you, Holly & Becki, for making our day so beautiful!

    Customized and cut costs!

    Holly made all of my wedding floral dreams come true! Flowers were the thing I was most “bridezilla” about but from our early email exchanges through her delivery on the day, Holly handled my requests with the utmost grace. She was incredibly professional to work with.

    After describing my wildflower vision to Holly, she sent me a slew of bouquet styles and images of flowers that she could use to create similar styles that looked native to Virginia. She adjusted order size as our bridal party changed and added pieces as we became more familiar with our venue and where we could use flowers. She even made things movable to help us save costs & repurpose throughout the night. Finally, she allowed me to send several of my late father’s ties, wrapping my bouquet with the one that matched the best.

    On the day, her artistry exceeded any and all of my expectations. Her artistry was so beautiful that I’m having the flowers preserved. We’d highly recommend Holly Carper!

    My Bouquet Exceeded My Expectations!

    Carper’s was super easy and pleasant to work with throughout the entire planning process of designing my bouquet and flowers for my wedding this past April. The flowers arrived at my venue on time and were arranged so beautifully. She took great care to make sure she knew what I was looking for and did an amazing job of interpreting what flowers would work best for the look and feel I was wanting and I was blown away when I first saw my bouquet. It was beautiful! Very much exceeded my expectations and helped to make my special day that much more special. I highly recommend Carper’s for any of your florist needs!

    Hire holly. Magic awaits!

    Hire Holly. I wanted to do DIY to save on price. But then I became overwhelmed trying to figure it out, and I become very obsessed with the idea of chandeliers having draping greenery. I felt like the price was too high for our budget. I was wrong!!! It was worth every single penny and the highlight of all our vendors. Holly made the room MAGICAL and exactly what we were envisioning. She made stunning bouquets, boutineers, centerpieces, and a ceremony arch.
    There are two moments that stick out in my mind from the night and they both have flowers highlighted. One: the stunning flowers for the ceremony on our arch. Two: dancing under dangling, enchanting greenery, during our first dance. I felt like I was in a movie or my own music video. I keep remembering doing dips and spins and looking up to feel like I was in a fairytale.
    I also had a very clear vision of what flowers I wanted, but roses weren’t doable with our budget, so Holly helped us problem solve. We put roses in my bouquet and burgundy carnations in my bridesmaids and as table accents…wow what a cost savings and great solution. It made the roses stand out more too! She puts in care and listens. We spoke with her several times, and she listened and offered solutions to help met all our expectations and goals.
    Even my dad said these were the prettiest bouquets he had ever seen!! Holly also made our mom’s special corsages and our mom’s loved them. I feel like I can keep rambling about Holly, but point blank, you will not be disappointed.
    Flowers with Holly are not just an investment they are an essential part to making your wedding vision come true.

    Holly from Carper's weddings and events was amazing! Helped with customizations while sticking to budget

    This review is embarrassingly-long overdue as we reach the first year anniversary of our wedding. Holly was great to work with. I cannot recommend her enough! She was very creative and flexible to come up with a proposal that would align to our budget. She was super organized and communication/payment was a breeze! A few days before the ceremony, she emailed us that the white anemone that we had selected for our arrangements didn't come out right and she immediately provided an alternative that would fit our needs. The arrangements (bridal bouquet, 2 small bouquets for the wedding party, boutonnieres, an arrangement for the cake and an arrangement for the sweetheart table) were GORGEOUS. Holly was also super kind to help us place the cake arrangement as the bakery didn't agree to take on this. Holly is very talented and provided an excellent quality of services. We could not be happier with our choice!

    The most beautiful florals

    Holly made all of my scattered ideas come to life for our wedding. The florals looked absolutely beautiful and our guests even took home our centerpieces! My bouquet was breathtaking!

    Great experience

    Holly is amazing, just stop looking and hire her. From the first email exchange to the day of, she was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. We had a somewhat unique vision which involved handmade centerpiece vases that we were able to meet with Holly to give to her in person. She was incredibly flexible in adjusting the different pieces of decor we wanted. One of the things I appreciated most is that she listened to what we wanted rather than telling us what we should have like some of the other vendors we met with. Everything turned out exactly as we had envisioned it!

    Holly is a GEM. She made my wedding vision come to life with her gorgeous florals. She worked within my budget and was able to pick out local florals as well as in season florals so I didn't blow my budget. She also last minute gave me extra florals to add to my hair which completely finished my entire wedding look and extra greenery to decorate our welcome sign. She is SO talented and also affordable and the sweetest. Hire her NOW if you have an upcoming wedding, you wont regret it.

    Wonderful!

    The flowers were lovely and unique. Just what my daughter wanted. I gave Holly little strings of LED lights and she incorporated them into the centerpieces the day of the event. Lovely! Amazing!

    Best florist around!

    Carper's Florist (Holly) was an absolute joy to have apart of our special day! Holly was the second vendor that we booked for our wedding and prior to our actual wedding, Holly was so accommodating and let us add on additional flowers when we thought of new ideas for the venue. Not only were the flowers the most beautiful arrangements I have ever seen, but she also was willing to handle and decorate our outside arbor and cocktail tables enough though there was large gusts of wind. ALL of her pieces and arrangements made it through the difficult weather and they looked like nothing had happened to them. I can't thank Holly enough for her wonderful floral arrangements and will definitely continue reaching out to her with more inquiries!!

    Perfect Summer Wedding Flowers

    Holly was nothing short of amazing! I knew that I liked the color yellow but she took that and created absolutely beautiful centerpieces, arch decorations, and bouquets that were perfect for our outdoor wedding. She was so flexible during COVID and adapted to our new wedding date without a problem.

    Amazing floral

    Holly was phenomenal to work with. She not only worked within my budget, but my wedding was truly phenomenal and the florals are still talked about to this day. I enjoyed working with her so much my sister even hired her for her wedding set for June next year. Don’t look elsewhere. You want to book this florist. She truly does an amazing job at understanding a brides vision and putting it into reality.

    Incredible work at an amazing value from a delightful person!!

    Holly was one of the best things about our wedding! When I first sent her my inspiration pictures, I noted that I understood we probably couldn't get exactly what I was sharing given our budget, but Holly didn't just match those photos, she exceeded them in every way. So many guests commented about our flowers, especially my bouquet. Possibly more importantly, Holly was a great communicator, very flexible with last minute changes, and just a warm, friendly professional to work with. Cannot recommend her enough!!

    Holly is amazing!!!

    Holly was recommended to us by numerous people and I totally see why. Her flower arrangements for our wedding were STUNNING! I’ve received tons of compliments on everything- from the beautiful pergola arrangement to the bouquets, boutonnieres, garland along the head table, centerpieces and wine barrel arrangement. She was extremely professional, organized, detail oriented and fun to work with from start to finish- Holly made my dream/vision a reality! I highly recommend Carpers Florist for all floral-décor!

    The flowers were beyond anything I imagined!

    Holly did an absolutely amazing job with the flowers. I knew what colors I wanted, and sent a couple of images I found of things I liked. Holly responded with a perfect collection of flower types (along with images) that she thought would work. They turned out amazing! My bridesmaids loved their bouquets, and I thought the colors were really great! I also had a flower arch that Holly put up on an arbor at our venue. At the last minute I needed things set up slightly earlier, and Holly was able to make it happen! It was completely stress-free, and the results were stunning!

    My wedding is the day before Mother’s Day and no flower shop would do any flowers for my wedding. Carper wedding was fast with responding and very understanding. Her prices are extremely resonance and I could not be more satisfied!

    Help for the hopeless

    I know next to nothing about flowers. I’m bad at matching colors too. Plus, I really hadn’t been to many weddings. I didn’t even know what I could use flowers for other than the bridal bouquet. I felt lost. I met Holly for lunch and I told her I had no idea what I was doing and she helped me and in the end it turned out to be amazing. Plus now I know the name of a handful of flowers that look nice. If she can help me, she can help just about anyone.

    Amazing Wedding Floral Vendor

    Holly is AMAZING! Hands down a talented women with florals. The flowers always look their freshest, smell the best, and look AMAZING. She is a sweet, genuine, caring person who puts all of her love and passion into her craft. The creations and combinations she comes up with are top notch. She is very responsive and thorough with her emails. She arrives on time to deliver the florals, sets and cleans up the area better than when she found it. She truly is a top notch wedding vendor. Any couple and vendor is lucky to get to work with her. I can't wait until the next time we work together!

    Quality with affordability

    Holly got hired for two reason: her cost (seriously though it’s so affordable), and her responsiveness. I was waiting for days to hear back from other florists, and she had responded to me within a couple hours. She was so easy to work with and gave great advice for my indecisiveness. She allowed me to make changes and additions up until the month before, and that was a lifesaver considering I needed to add more things on later! Her flowers were beautiful and everything I had hoped for and I am so happy we hired Carper’s. I know, any other events I have, I will be going back here. There is no one else I trust to bring my visions to life.

    I am still freaking out over how gorgeous my arbor was thanks to Holly Carper, the owner of this business. I showed her 5 photos and said vaguely what I wanted, and I kid you not, she created exactly what I had in mind for my arbor, bouquets, centerpieces, boutonnieres, etc. Holly is incredibly responsive and professional. The week before my wedding, I sent her a panic email asking her to create centerpieces for my wedding, and she came through without missing a beat. Her flowers made me feel like I had a Pinterest-worthy wedding, but it was done locally and felt personalized. Check out her Instagram: @carpersweddings

    Carper's was fantastic for our wedding in Luray. We sent her a picture of a bouquet I liked and she sent us a list and pictures of the flowers she proposed using. She sent a detailed list of flowers she would use for each piece and the pricing was transparent. The flowers were beautiful. Carper's provided delivery and setup including mounting beautiful arrangements on the arch at the venue and providing extra flowers for the cake. The bouquets and boutonnieres were also lovely.

    I can’t say enough great things about Holly and Carper’s Florist! From the moment I first reached out for an estimate for my wedding, Holly was very responsive and was able to answer my questions and remove any stress I was feeling about my flowers for my wedding. I was typical in not knowing what I wanted, but speaking with Holly at the consultation was the biggest help. I was able to share with her my vision and she created the centerpieces and bouquets as if she could see my vision as her own. She even worked with me on the floral arrangement sizes so we could meet my desired budget.

    One of the first things I noticed when I walked into the reception area before the ceremony was how magical the flowers looked in the room and how wonderful they smelled! They added the stunning beauty to my wedding that I had asked for, and I received many compliments from all the guests.

    I recommend anyone looking for an outstanding florist who is affordable, friendly, and makes awesome floral arrangements to use Holly and Carper’s Florist.

    Thanks so much Holly for making our wedding beautiful!
