Let’s get started!

‍Step 1: Share Your Vision with Our Floral Design Team

We know you’ve probably been dreaming about the details of your wedding since childhood, and now it’s time to make those dreams a reality! To get started, we invite you to share your vision with us online. By providing inspiration images, aesthetic choices, and key details about your special day, our team can craft a customized floral proposal tailored specifically to you.

This process helps us capture your unique style and preferences, whether you envision a garden-inspired wedding with cascading greenery or a sleek, modern ceremony adorned with minimalist blooms. Once we’ve gathered your input, we’ll create a floral plan reflecting your personality and the ambiance you dream of. 

Our team is always just a phone call away to answer your questions and guide you through the process. This is your moment to dream big, and our expert floral designers are dedicated to bringing your ideas to life with creativity and care!

‍Step 2: Explore Seasonal and Local Blooms

When considering how to make your wedding florals stand out, the perfect place to start is choosing flowers and greenery that are naturally in season on your wedding day. Fresh-cut, seasonal flowers add a touch of nature-inspired beauty to your entire wedding floral design. Imagine soft sweet peas, bright, airy greenery for an early spring celebration, and textured dahlias with muted green eucalyptus for a cozy autumn wedding. These timeless seasonal selections create vibrant, memorable wedding floral designs that feel classic and enduring.

We also love incorporating locally sourced flowers and greenery from Lowcountry farms, nurseries, and greenhouses. This approach adds an elegant touch of Charleston charm to your florals while supporting sustainability and local businesses. Below are just a few of our favorite seasonal selections:

Winter: Amaryllis, garden roses, peonies, calla lilies, evergreen accents
Spring: Sweet peas, peonies, tulips, lilacs, ranunculus
Summer: dahlias, tropicals, zinnias, ferns, lemon leaf
Fall: Chrysanthemums, marigolds, dahlias, eucalyptus

Don’t worry! Our team can help you choose the best blooms and greenery for your wedding date and ensure that every detail aligns with your vision. 

‍Step 3: Personalize Your Floral Design

Next, it’s time to personalize your wedding day floral style. Your wedding flowers should tell your love story. Whether incorporating a flower with sentimental meaning or adding unique elements inspired by your personality, your floral design should feel personal and authentic.

Along with your personal style, it is also essential to consider the setting of your wedding venue. We’ve worked at all of Charleston’s top wedding venues, and our team can help you design floral arrangements that beautifully complement each of these local spaces. We will also help guide you through floral colors, arrangement styles, and bloom textures that harmonize with your wedding palette.

A quick tip: Create an inspiration board! Pin flowers, designs, and color palettes you love. Share these ideas with our team, and we will help bring these floral goals to life. Here is some floral design inspiration from the weddings we’ve done in the Charleston area!

Step 4: Budget with Beauty in Mind

After you know the style you’re aiming to achieve, it is time to consider options that work well with your budget. We understand that every couple has cost parameters, and our priority is to help you get your dream wedding florals without sacrificing quality or beauty. During your consultation, we’ll explore your desired style and preferences alongside budget options. Our team will also offer some creative and practical ways to make the most of your floral design, such as:
