    Gorgeous flowers from Kim & Burke Florist!

    We highly recommend Kim and Burke Florist. We'd explored Pinterest to see what interested us, but didn't know exactly what we wanted. Kim talked with us about what colors and flowers we liked and disliked, and looked at two inspiration photos. When she delivered them, we were amazed by how gorgeous they were, especially my bouquet and my husband's perfect boutonniere. Numerous compliments from our guests and we're still enjoying them at home a week later. Thank you!

    Exciting, classy, and suuuper fresh wedding flowers!

    We want to shout out Kim at Burke Florist! Kim truly loves flowers, and her excitement for wedding flowers is infectious. My husband and I wanted to honor our cultural backgrounds through the flower choices, but that was about all we knew. Kim was generous, patient, and incredibly inspiring to work with. She helped us develop a beautiful arrangement that tied all our other colorful (and eclectic) wedding elements together. Our guests complimented the centerpieces throughout our wedding, remarking on how fresh and amazing the flowers smelled. Our photographer also marveled at how photogenic and beautiful our bouquets were.

    Burke Florist has moved to a new location at 3769-A Pickett Road, Fairfax, VA 22031 where there is a parking lot! The shop smells soooo good.

    We would 100% recommend Kim and Burke Florist!

    Kim was amazing to work with and had so many great suggestions for our florals for our wedding. She knew exactly what we were envisioning for the wedding and the florals were even better on the day of the wedding than we had imagined! We received so many compliments from guests. As a side note, the florals lasted beyond the wedding, as we were able to re-use the centerpieces for a post-wedding event we had the next day! We would 100% recommend Kim for your wedding or event, you will not be disappointed!

    Kim is my guardian angel!

    Kim from Burke Florists was an absolute dream to work with. She executed my vision flawlessly, and due to my lack of knowledge about florals, she provided expert advice and knew exactly how to create the arrangements I wanted, when I didn't even know how to describe them. She was patient, attentive, and reassuring, and would even text me words of encouragement since she knew the planning process is stressful. It felt like she went above and beyond and she was totally present on our wedding day. She is not afraid to get her hands dirty and help out where help is needed, whether it's helping out the coordinator or the hotel. She hand delivered our arrangements the morning of the wedding, and stuck around to repurpose our ceremony florals to the reception room. She was very honest and didn't push the more expensive options on us, and was very considerate of our budget. She even would tell us if she felt certain things were unnecessary. It felt like her number one priority was our happiness and our wedding vision, and we are so grateful. Thank you, Kim, for everything!

    Affordable and Beautiful

    Kim was a joy to work with! She was a total pro, very experienced, sweet, and seemed genuinely excited to work on my wedding florals! She knew exactly which flowers would achieve my vision and budget! She was very communicative, not pushy, and executed flawlessly. On the day of the wedding, everything was PERFECT and on time. She was able to repurpose some flowers from ceremony to the reception. It was gorgeous and I couldn't recommend Kim enough!

    Gorgeous Flower Arrangements

    After Burke Florist helped us with our elopement in August of 2020, we recruited them to provide the flowers for our 9/3/21 wedding celebration party, and Kim & her team delivered. We sat down and met to discuss options and pricing, where Kim ensured she understood my style & vision. I can’t recommend Burke Florist enough to not only provide beautiful flowers, but to hold your hand through the process!

    Thank you Burke Florist!

    Kim and Denise are PROS. They knew exactly what flowers to use to reach my vision and how to do so as affordably as possible. They communicated efficiently and thoroughly with me throughout the planning and confirmation process, and they never pushed me to add more floral features than I wanted. They even came to my rescue with the recent global glass shortage! Everything was delivered on time and stunningly gorgeous. I want to keep my wedding flowers forever!

    Nailed my vision!

    One of the vendors that I struggled the most to find a good fit was a florist. After I met with Burke Florist it was a done deal and my nerves were settled. I had such an amazing consultation with them and they took their time to get to know me and what I was looking for. I was also looking for an arbor piece that could be converted to our head table after the ceremony and it was so much better than I could have imagined. I LOVED my flowers and could not have been happier with the service and the price!

    Beautiful flowers!

    Denise did an amazing job with the flowers for my wedding! They were much more beautiful than I ever expected. During the initial consultation phase, she patiently sat down with me to discuss what I had envisioned and helped me choose what I needed. She was friendly, honest, and very helpful in her feedback. Being an indecisive and scatter-brained bride, Denise was very flexible patience coordinating back and forth with my many edits up until the wedding day. She was very communicative as well in updating any changes I had mentioned in the proposal. The prices for Burke Florist was very fair and they do not upcharge you for silly things like transportation fee or props rental. I would highly recommend Denise and her team for any events!

    Burke Florist

    Major Kudos to Denise and team! They brought my vision to life beautifully! Denise was so patient, accommodating and hospitable from day one. I was very indecisive and took quite some time on decision making and she maintained a positive pleasant approach and met all my needs. She was such a pleasure to work with and made this wedding flower process a breeze for us! I highly recommend her not only for weddings but any other floral needs as well. She’s a gem!

    Beautiful Flowers & Unparalleled Service!

    Denise was a dream to work with. She is so sweet and just as professional and responsive to any questions and/or updates we had with our flower order.
    My wedding was initially scheduled to be held outdoors in November, however due to winds and chilly temps (low 40s) we had to move it indoors. The day before, Denise contacted me to first ask how I was doing and if we needed to make any changes due to the temperatures. I let her know that we decided to move indoors and she immediately offered suggestions and additional décor to help spruce the place up. I sincerely appreciated that.
    About a little over a year in advance I provided Denise with photos of what I wanted and, when I met with her in person, she showed me options of flowers that I could use that would be in season and could help me make as close to the bouquet that I wanted but stay on the affordable side. On the day of the wedding, I just about cried when I saw the bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, and additional arrangements! They were SO gorgeous and absolutely what I wanted!
    They offer delivery and pick up service (at cost) and that was sincerely appreciated. It was a lot less for me to think about the next day.
    I will continue to recommend Burke Florist to anyone who is in need!

    Beautiful and Tasteful

    Burke Florist did an amazing job decorating our wedding! My husband had sent me flowers from Burke Florist in the past, and their bouquets were always beautiful so they were an easy choice for us! Katie was so easy to work with and honored all of my requests in the months leading up to the wedding. When they were unable to get one type of flower for my bouquet at the last minute, she gave me a few different options to choose from and the bouquet still looked gorgeous! My bridesmaids loved their bouquets as well. All of the centerpieces and greenery looked so tasteful and the flowers added a beautiful touch to the ceremony and reception.

    LOVED our wedding flowers

    Katie at Burke Florist did a BEAUTIFUL bouquet and centerpiece arrangements for our wedding in Northern Virginia this October. We had a smallish wedding and needed one bouquet and 6 table arrangements. We’d been thinking about DIY flowers, but decided to check out Burke Florist just a few weeks before the wedding. We’re SO glad we left it to the experts. They turned around such a beautiful display on short notice and within our budget, and they were very responsive and easy to work with.

    The process was super easy – I emailed some photos and general ideas about the look and feel I was going for, as well as our budget. Then we met Katie in person at the shop to discuss specific flowers and greens and other details, and drop off a bunch of vases we’d picked up at a thrift store. A few days before the wedding, we needed to add one more table to our reception, which they accommodated easily.

    The day of the wedding, Burke Florist delivered and set up the centerpieces and left my bouquet for me in the bridal suite. (Contrast this with my DIY nightmares about buckets and trimming stems and hauling floral arrangements to the venue…) Everything was so gorgeous and we could not be happier with the way it turned out. Denise, the owner, was very responsive via email, and Katie really captured the colors and rustic chic feel we discussed! The bouquet and table arrangements were just stunning (we didn’t get great pics of the table arrangements, but hopefully these convey the idea!)

    My bouquet, along with bridesmaids bouquets were beautiful! So clean and crisp. We opted to do simple greenery for our centerpieces and while simple, it was still beautiful. What really impressed me though was our flower girl’s flower crown. She kept it on the whole evening because she loved it that much (she’s 2, so we did not expect her to keep it on). Would recommend Denise and her business in a heartbeat!

    Amaingly flexible!

    We are so happy we used Burke Florist as the florist for our wedding- Denise and her team are amazing! Denise was so helpful during our initial consultation- she brought out specific flowers we had in mind and walked us through the pros and cons of our different options. We liked that she was very honest in giving advice about what would and wouldn’t hold up in the summer heat (something that many other florists omitted).

    We live far from her shop, and so we had to rely heavily on email to coordinate. Denise was consistently responsive and amazingly patient with our many, many questions and changes. And she was so budget friendly (our initial estimate was very reasonable and absolutely met our budget!). And she was flexible and kind enough to allow us to drop several boxes off at her shop a few days in advance at a time that worked best for us.

    The day of our wedding, it poured rain, forcing us to move our ceremony indoors at the last minute. Denise was such a champ- she showed up super early and reworked our ceremony setup so that we were still able to use and showcase our flower arrangement. Our pictures looked amazing, and we’re so glad we worked with Denise! We would highly recommend her to anyone getting married in the DC area!

    Short version: I hired Burke Florist for our May wedding at the Carnegie Institution for Science. Their floral arrangements were GORGEOUS. Katie was also so sweet to work with and the prices were much more reasonable than anything else I'd been quoted. You will absolutely not regret using them for your wedding floral arrangements!

    Long version: I found out about Burke Florist because I'd gone to a friend's wedding the previous June and loved her flowers. When I met Katie at the store for the consultation, we looked over pictures I'd brought of the venue and what I envisioned. To be honest, I know very little about flowers - I can only name a handful - roses, hydrangeas, peonies... but I can look at a picture and say very quickly if I like it or not. That wasn't a problem at all for Katie! She was so kind, patient, and really listened to what I was trying to say. She gave a few suggestions while we were discussing what I wanted, and I left the meeting feeling like she really understood my style and preferences.

    When she emailed me the initial quote, I was happy to see the price was very reasonable. Our venue has this gorgeous mantle that I wanted to have decorated - another florist was charging twice as much to do the same thing with silk flowers!

    After feeling really comfortable with Katie's abilities and super happy about the quote, we decided to book them. But of course, throughout the months of planning, things got added, removed, modified... and even though I started to feel bad about it, not once did Katie make me feel like I was a nuisance. She still provided suggestions and made sure to clarify what my requests were so that they got it right...AND THEY DID. When I walked into the venue on Saturday, and I saw the arrangements and bouquets... I was in awe. Burke Florist (and Katie) - THANK YOU!!! I can't even begin to express just how much I loved the flowers. Your arrangements were perfect and brought the venue to life!

    Burke Florist has never let me down. I use them for everything I can! Including our wedding! The flowers were a top highlight of our special day. We continue to receive compliments on the flowers all the time. Our photos are so gorgeous because of what an amazing job Burke Florist took in lovingly putting together these gorgeous arrangements for our wedding day. The colors were perfect. It was exactly what we wanted. We cannot even get over how beautiful the flowers were for our big day. Thank you so very much!! Lianne and John

    Denise and Burke florist recently provided the flowers, altar arrangements, boutonnières, bouquets, and hair pieces for our wedding.

    Working with Denise at Burke Florist was so easy! She was able to turn my vision into a reality. I don't know much about flowers so I showed her a few pictures and described the look I was going for and she executed it perfectly!! My bouquet was exactly what I dreamed of - a mix of various shades of pink with a rustic, natural feel.

    Burke Florist provided bouquets (bride and bridesmaid), floral "spritz" for my hair, and boutenierres for our wedding on November 13th 2015 and everything was astoundingly beautiful! The entire process from the beginning was effortless. I walked in not knowing quite how to describe what I wanted, and Denise quickly identified multiple flowers and greenery from photos I had shown, deftly assembling a unified and striking arrangement concept.

    The delivery service was also amazing; I needed the flowers for my hair at the hotel, and the rest of the bouquets at the venue down the street, and they accommodated this without question.

    The bouquets fit the scene and the mood perfectly. They were the most wonderful mix of something a little unique, a little natural/woodsy, and still completely classy. I highly recommend Burke Florist!!

    Burke Florist did the flowers for my wedding and they were absolutely beautiful!!! Denise was so easy to work with - she helped me pick out all of the flowers for my bouquet because I had no clue what I was doing. Their prices are very reasonable and I definitely got my money's worth. i would definitely recommend Burke Florist for any occasion!!!

    My husband and I just got married earlier this month and couldn't be happier with our experience at Burke Florist and with Denise. She was always friendly and accommodating of any request we had, and she had great ideas when I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted. We were absolutely floored with how beautiful everything turned out on the day of the wedding, from the centerpieces, to the bouquets, corsages, and other arrangements. They couldn't have been prettier! Denise delivered and set them up herself and was very professional and did an amazing job. We would recommend them to anyone!

    Denise provided a wonderful experience--particularly since she was working with a bride that knew next to nothing about flowers or floral arrangements. I walked into her shop with a color scheme, a picture and a modest budget. Somehow she was able to read between the lines and embrace my vision. The result was more beautiful than I could ever imagine. I was very pleased with the quality of the flowers. The room looked absolutely beautiful, as were the bouquets and centerpieces. Denise was very professional, flexible and accommodating (I changed my mind a few times!) More importantly, all of this was accomplished within my budget. I would absolutely recommend Burke Florist.
