Black Iris Floral Event staff did an amazing job with our daughter Amber’s wedding. We where so amazed with the flowers it just made everyone so happy. Everyone came to me to find out where we got the flowers and linens came from. Black Iris did everything from invitations , linens, lighting, and flowers. They where totally helpful with all the vendors. Thank you ! Thank you!  -Robert and Janice Matthews. Williamsburg VA

 

Todd does amazing work! His designs for our wedding were over the top, and so many people commented on how beautiful the flowers were! He was easy to work with and really listened to my vision for the wedding. Then he took my ideas and made them into something I never could have imagined. We highly recommend him and could not have been happier with his results! – Mary Watson MD

 

Todd and his team went over the top to make the most beautiful floral display at my wedding! So many of the guests commented that it was the most beautiful they had ever seen. My bouquet was so fresh and colorful, as were the ones for my bridesmaids. My groom even commented on how modern the boutonnieres were. Todd went above and beyond what was required by a florist, and actually helped keep some of the other vendors on track. He also provided the linens and up-lighting for the room. I will definitely refer all my friends getting married to him in the future! – Lindsay

 

Todd did the flowers for my wedding, and they were amazing! For what I got, I thought the price was better than some others in the area. Love his sense of style! – Kelly

 

Todd and his team did an incredible job for our wedding in Cape Charles, VA. I gave Todd a few pictures that I liked in the beginning stages, and he really used his creativity to make the venue shine. The centerpieces at our reception were absolutely stunning, as were the other arrangements that he placed around the bar, cake table, etc. The ceremony arrangements were showstoppers. Our bridal party bouquets and bouttenieres were perfect. Todd was there with his team bright and early to set up, and he even took care of the beautiful pintuck linens for us. He also took the liberty of placing little lanterns on the outdoor tables to make them more inviting. He really paid attention to the little details, and it didn’t go unnoticed. Everyone that attended gave us so many compliments on how beautiful our wedding and reception were, and I think that Todd had a huge hand in making our wedding exceed our expectations! I would recommend him to anyone. -LTN8

He is well connected and and assisted me with getting linens for my wedding as well. I would recommend his services for weddings or other events. -Tasha H.

 

I enjoyed working with Black Iris and Todd on my wedding very much. I had originally had another florist but after sitting down and talking to Todd, I switched. Their flower arrangements were gorgeous, I had calla lillies and roses for my bouquets and everything was fresh and beautiful. They were there early and promptly began setting up. The linens we ordered were a perfect match to our colors and the candy bar table set up was stunning. Everyone complimented us on it! Thanks Guys for such a wonderful job!!! -Lindsey

 

Black Iris is THE only florist to go to! Todd and his team are awesome and know what they are doing! The flowers were gorgeous! And not only do they do flowers, they do linens, lights, invites and candy buffet’s!! We decided to go ahead and go with the candy buffet for our favors. It was beautiful! I received so many compliments on that. In fact, I got so many compliments on how beautiful Black Iris had made the room look.
It was amazing!!
Thanks to Todd and the Black Iris team! Everything was gorgeous! -Amy

 

The flowers were absolutely gorgeous! Todd did such a great job. They arrived early at the venue and had it all put together so beautifully so when I walked in to get ready, I saw these elaborate pieces. The photographs of my wedding speak for themselves. I would recommend their work to anyone. They went above my expectations for such a great price! -Cindy

 

I would highly recommend Black Iris Floral Events for your wedding or any other celebration/event. They were amazing, so patient and listened to exactly want I wanted for my wedding. I was so happy with the results and still get complements from my friends and family on the flowers from my reception. – Christy Nunnally

 

Black Iris was FANTASTIC!!!! All around everyone who worked with Black Iris was amazing. The price was phenominal when the end product was produced. They were extremely flexible regarding any last minute wedding changes and they were very flexible on the day of the wedding when we had a few last minute issues. Nothing was left untouched or forgotten. I personally recieved many compliments from the venue itself regarding the turnout of our wedding flowers and decor. They had never seen such an amazing transformation. Black Iris exceeded my expectations down to the very last detail. Todd, the designer, had a vision that blew my mind. I couldn’t wait to see it in all its glory. I can’t stress enough how wonderful Black Iris is and I would recommend them to anyone. They take your ideas and make them happen. They really care about you and your day. I recieved multiple phone calls from them to keep me up to date with what they were planning and they really want you to get the biggest bang for your buck. I know everyone gets the initial sticker shock when quoted prices; but when it was all said and done– I would have paid more. I got great quality work that was timely, flexible, absolutely stunning– and everything looked like I paid more than I actually did. Black Iris has bride’s best interests at heart– they really want you to be happy with their work and trust that you hired the right people. We were so happy with the final product at the wedding that we asked them to stay and enjoy the night with us. I researched many vendors before meeting with Black Iris and got stressed at the fact that I had to contact so many people in the design and flower business to get what I wanted. When I meet with Todd from Black Iris he said he would take care of everything. Their company not only covers flowers and decor but everything in between. He said he was even available to help with the stress of the final day in making sure everyone was in their right places. I thought he was only going to be working with flowers and decor; but he covered everything; from flowers, candles, cake cascades, cake stands, table centerpieces, lighting during the reception and ceremony, votives, ice sculptures, table covers, chair covers, and he even took care of things that I didn’t have time to stress about. His company even set up the venue. I really cannot recommend them enough– you won’t be dissapointed with anything. The best part about Black Iris is that they don’t want you to waste your money. I was a bride with big visions and a small budget and Todd actually saved me money with his ideas. He suggested budget friendly design ideas and flower options that still looked expensive and beautiful but didn’t hurt my budget. They really want you to be happy about your big day in the end and not be in debt when it’s all said and done. I really can’t thank them enough for being a huge part of the our big day. You won’t be wasting your money or time working with these true professionals. – Cat.

 

Todd was great to work with. I lived in a different city from where I was getting married and he took the responsibility and ran with it. It was nice to know that things were getting done even though I was not there. He is very knowledgable and knows a lot of people in the area. He made our dream wedding come true. Thank you Todd! - Kleichar

 Todd exceeded my expectations with the decor for the outside wedding and the inside reception. He decorated the tables and the cake! I felt like one of those brides on TV that has spent a million dollars (though I was so far from that). Thank you for making my wedding day perfect! :) -L. Hendricks

Black Iris was a true life saver. Due to unfortunate circumstances, I was left searching for a new florist 2 weeks before my wedding date. The guys at Black Iris stepped right in to help and even met with me on a Sunday afternoon. The final result left me speechless. My bouquet was better than I could have imagined, it embodied all the aspects I described in our initial meeting. The ceremony/reception florals were AWESOME! Guests are still raving about dramatic they were. These guys are awesome and are truly some of the best people to work with. Thanks guys! - Ashley and Kirk

Black Iris Floral went above and beyond what I could have ever imagined. They took my vision and turned it into a botanical masterpiece. I would highly recommend them to anyone. The complements poured in at the reception. The bridal bouquet was truly my favorite aspect of my wedding. -Kristin

Was very impressed with Black Iris Floral! Todd went above and beyond my expectations!!! The flowers were absolutely breath taking! – Courtney

Working with Black Iris Floral Events made our wedding day even more memorable and beautiful than I would’ve ever imagined! The flowers arrangements and decorations that were chosen for our wedding reflected our perfect beach theme . I would recommend this team to any bride in search of a your dream flowers for your wedding. Thanks for everything! – Green

The decorations were amazing. It almost didn’t seem real because it was so nice. Something that nice is what you find in the movies. – Chris & Jess

Todd and Jason were great to work with. The flowers for our beach wedding were spectacular. Todd’s work with tropicals is fabulous.
Everyone loved the flowers and they made such an impact for our day. – Beth

Todd was extremely helpful and attentive to details. We had a small budget for our flowers but he worked with us and made our reception and wedding flowers beautiful. We loved everything he did for us!!! – Yelken

My wedding was a dream. The flowers, lighting, and decorations were more beautiful than I could have imagined. I received so many compliments from my guests on how fun and warm my wedding was, and I know I owe it in large part to the gorgeous, romantic atmosphere that Todd created for me. Thank you Todd…it was a night I know I will never forget (for all the best reasons).  – Gray

My fiance stumbled upon Black Iris on a whim. What a pleasant surprise! Todd’s floral creations for my wedding were so gorgeous and fragrant too. Our guests raved about the stunning appearance of the bridal party flowers. I met Todd thinking I wanted certain flowers looking a certain way, but he convinced me otherwise (to my initial hesitation). Boy, am I glad I trusted Todd’s vision and creative genius. He knows what he’s talking about!! My mother took a couple of leftover arrangements with her to work the following week, where my wedding flowers continued to get many praises! Thank you Todd for all your wonderful work! - Cyates

The flowers for my wedding were beautiful! My only issue with the flowers was that there were carnations on my wedding cake and not roses when roses were used in the rest of the arrangements. It was still beautiful though. Also, I feel that the prices were a bit high for the centerpieces considering they only consisted of a vase, 3 roses and a candle each. I would recommend Black Iris to any Hampton Roads bride :)  - Quality Kid

Black Iris Floral did a wonderful job on our flowers! They turned out beautiful and exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend them. - Caity

Todd and his crew put together beautiful arrangements for the ceremony and reception areas as well as the boquets and other personal flowers. Only thing missing was the toss boquet. Arrangements were perfect for the location and venue. Thanks Todd.  - Sheva

Todd was great! Very professional, “gets” what your view of your perfect flowers should be and he surprised me with our centerpieces at my wedding! We had the MOST compliments on the center pieces than anything else at our wedding… I highly recommend Black Iris :)   - Gove

Did an absolutely amazing job for the money!!!! Everything was wonderful. I wasn’t sure what I was going to end up with going into it, but let me tell you I was pleasantly surprised with all the flower arrangements – from the centerpieces to the bouquets. My only complaint was communication with the venue – the never told us where the vases were set up for the bridesmaid bouquets, and I didn’t find them til the pictures. It would have been helpful if somebody had told us. Other than that, Todd is incredibly talented and I would recommend that anybody use him. He’s the best value for the money, without a doubt.  -BMW 1980

Todd brought our beach wedding visions to life! The flowers were beautiful, the roses smelled amazing for days after & everyone commented on how gorgeous everything looked. Very, very happy with their services. Thank you Todd & Jason!  – Jennifer
