Nicola Flora

As someone who completely DIY’d her wedding I wanted to save as much as possible. However, I wanted two professionally done arrangements for my stage. Nicole worked with my budget and provided two beautiful arrangements! I told her my favorite flowers and what I had in mind she created something that was simply stunning. I couldn’t stop looking at them. A week later and I am still enjoying my arrangements. Thank you Nicole!

I was very impressed by Nicola Flora. I was ordering a boquet for a hospitalized Aunt in VA while I’m in FL. The lady I talked to on the phone was polite and extremely helpful– she even recommended an extra item/​touch (free of charge) to make the gift even more special. The roses were delivered beautifully and really cheered up my aunt. I was unsure about using a florist other than my great local one, but if I ever need to send flowers again to the Richmond area– Nicola Flora is who I will be using, no questions!

Another awesome bouquet for my college daughter!
Thanks you so much for always coming through with the perfect arrangement and timely delivery!!!
Happy Valentine’s Day!

I would not work with any other florist in Richmond. Nicole is absolutely amazing and her work is stunning. At my previous job, we used Nicola for our weekly arrangements and she always did a terrific job making sure the flowers were exactly as the company mandated, even using our own vases.
I work on the side as a event planner and have used her with my clients. She is reliable and is great with clients, exactly what I look for in a florist. I cannot say enough good things about Nicola!

Nicola Flora has beautiful floral designs for reasonable prices! I have ordered from Nicola several times over the years and have been pleased with the service, design of arrangement and cost. My most recent experience, Nicole helped me helped me arrange a beautiful bouquet to be sent to a colleague for her birthday. Since I am not local to the Richmond area, I was a little nervous how the design would look. Nicole was very professional over the phone and even emailed me a photo of the finished design before it was sent out for delivery. My colleague loved the arrangement! Thank you Nicola!

We used Nicola Flora a few years ago for our wedding, and I have to say we were so impressed! All of the flowers were beautiful! I expected some stress, since I was planning our entire wedding, but this was the easiest part of the whole process. I met with Nicole twice when we were deciding what to do, she took the pages I found from a magazine, and I left the rest up to her. I was nothing short of amazed at how gorgeous all of the arrangements were!!!

Great florist — the people are always very friendly and the cut arrangements they make are always beautiful and last a long time. The cost is also very reasonable considering the size of the arrangements.

An important day to an important friend of the family on the other side of the country. Thank you to Kristen from Nicola Flora who helped me over the phone to create what I know will be a beautiful bouquet!

I have been buying flower arrangements at Nicola Flora for several years now, and I’ve never been disappointed. It’s a small shop in my neighborhood (Bellevue/​Ginter Park), yet they deliver big! They make lovely simple arrangements for a great price. And it’s fun to look at their quirky displays and soothing to listen to the fountain as someone prepares your arrangement. Since the shop isn’t on a main thoroughfare, I worry about whether they will get enough traffic to stay in business. Please choose Nicola so we can keep a local business gem!

This is a great neighborhood asset and a wonderful florist. My wife and I have purchased several floral arrangements from Nicola Flora and have been delighted in their unique arrangements. On Mother’s Day, a house guest purchased several arrangements as gifts; each was different and they lasted several days.

Absolutely amazing! I always call on Nicola Flora for any special occasion that calls for flowers and fun gifts! Whether it be my anniversary, birthdays, mother’s day, I love having a local florist that actually listens to what you are looking for. Not sure what you want? Ask for suggestions or just let them create their own masterpiece. I have never been let down by Nicola Flora. Friendly staff, fun items in the gift shop and it’s just GREAT to support a local business that truly deserves it!

I ordered flowers from out of town for my Mom’s birthday. I chose Nicola Flora based on the reviews here on Unilocal so thanks everyone who reviewed this local business! Living in a small town has made me appreciate small businesses and I prefer to use them whenever possible. Nicola Flora did not let me down! The flowers were beautiful, ready when promised and at a very competitive price, better quality for less than the 1 – 800 nonsense. Thank you so much Nicola Flora!

My dad sent me an absolutely gorgeous bouquet for my birthday in January. He was super excited to find a local spot so close to my house (a sentiment which he shared once I received the flowers), and we were both in love with the final product. Since he’s in Norfolk, he called Nicola Flora and spoke with someone in detail about what he wanted in a bouquet. I know he mentioned a desired color scheme, and even requested a few specific flowers. This Bellevue florist delivered on all counts.
My oversized bouquet included pinks, purples, blues and yellows; tulips, sunflowers, lillies and more! It even had these interesting green flower stem things that I’ve never seen before. In a nutshell, the arrangement was impressive and beautiful. They definitely put a smile on my face and lasted way longer than expected! I’m a huge fan of flowers and love to receive them, but sadly I also live with a cat who enjoys chomping on them, so I don’t always get to enjoy them for as long as I’d like. Thankfully the little monster (I mean, adorable kitty) went easy on them. Must’ve been his bday present to me.
What little interaction I had with the staff was very pleasant. Rather than just dropping the bouquet at my doorstep (which would have been fine as well), they called to see if I would be home at all that afternoon so they could deliver it based on my schedule. I thought that was pretty great.
I will definitely be using Nicola Flora in the future!

A much better alternative to sending your significant other a self-​assembly box from one of the national websites. I called Nicola Flora with a request for an autumny-​but not too Thanksgivingy, lovey, but not too Valentinesy arrangement for my girlfriends birthday. They came out beautiful and perfectly in bloom.
I will use them in the future. Price was good for what was delivered and I avoided all of the ridiculous fees that 1−800-Flowers, etc throw on top of your orders.

I live out of town and wanted to send a birthday arrangement to my sister who lives in Richmond. I found Nicola via a Unilocal search. I ordered an arrangement sight unseen based on the type of flowers I described to them. It turned out beautifully, and they delivered it right on time for far less than what the national flower delivery services charge. Excellent customer service and creative execution. Highly recommended!

I walked in after lunch the other day and spoke to the owner. It is no secret that I am a big fan of locally owned businesses and I think every neighborhood should have a local florist who is involved in the community, which this owner, Nicole is.
They do everything a florist traditionally does, events, weddings, arrangements, special occasions, funerals etc. The shop also has last minute gift items. My most favorite thing they do is arrange flowers in antique 30s and 40s pottery vessels that really add an amazing and super unique twist to traditional arrangements. They charge 5 to 10 dollars extra for this service, an amazing deal!
They carry items from local artists as well. I encrourage anyone living North of Richmond to utilize this local treasure as your preferred florist. Think globally, buy locally!

I love the gift shop portion of this quaint Northside boutique. Along with beautiful floral arrangements, there’s an entire selection of hand-​picked gifts. There are reusable bags and water bottles, candles, furniture items, gourmet treats and more. You’ll also find locally made Row House Soaps, Modern June aprons and oilcloth accessories.
Want to send something other than a gift basket? The owner can also make custom-​themed baskets. One of her favorites is an Italy-​themed basket with spaghetti, sauce, extra virgin olive oil, cooking spoons, biscotti and even handmade kitchen soap.
This store is the perfect place to find a great gift, no matter who you’re shopping for.
