Everyone was complimenting our flowers at our wedding! Their à la carte options are fantastic for people on a budget, and they totally nailed the look I was envisioning. The flowers came on time, and their team was very responsive throughout the process.

Carolina Flowers was so easy to work with! We did an a la carte floral order for our small wedding and it was perfect. We had many questions in the planning process, and Carolina Flowers staff were quick to respond and really helpful! I was so excited to see what they had put together for us and the flowers were stunning and help up for quite a while afterwards, following their care instructions! Highly recommend.

My partner and I used Carolina Flowers for our wedding with DIY florals and you should too!! It was easy as pie to book online, even though we had to reschedule because of Helene. ...
Pickup was a breeze and all of the flowers were so gosh darn gorgeous. I am so, so happy that we were able to have in-season marigolds and dahlias and all sorts of blooms to match our mountainous, fall backdrop. Because of our small, casual wedding I was able to spend the morning putting together bud vases and bouquets with my loved ones the morning of our celebration and it was such a lovely activity to do - and kept my nervous hands busy!

lower person, so I ordered a few DIY buckets of Farmers Choice flowers and greenery. My brother and a few friends arranged small bud vases for the reception tables, greenery for the ceremony, and made my bouquet. I didn’t know what colors the flowers would be until the day before our wedding, which was a fun game. Imagine my excitement when I received a picture of the beauties in the attached image! The flowers were gorgeous, and the variety and quality exceeded my expectations. I appreciate their sustainability commitment and that the flowers are all locally grown on their farm and hand-picked. I wouldn’t change a thing about our floral experience and highly recommend!

Our original wedding was canceled in October due to Hurricane Helene, but Carolina Flowers went above and beyond by traveling to us in Gastonia with no extra charge. I loved working with them—they made everything so easy and stress-free. Their professionalism and dedication really shined through, and I couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for amazing florals and great service!

For our flowers, we wanted something colorful, summery, and with a wildflower look, so we pretty much gave Carolina Flowers free rein. We gave them our colors and some inspiration ...
pictures, and they absolutely nailed it.
We had them do pocket arrangements instead of boutonnieres, and they were exactly what we wanted. For the arrangements, we ordered buckets of wildflowers and put them together ourselves, and everything they provided was of such good quality and really helped create the colorful vibe we were going for. Emily is a genius — we definitely recommend hiring her for your wedding or any event.

It was so important for me to work with a local and ecologically responsible florist for our wedding, and I am so grateful I found Carolina Flowers. Emily and her team crafted the ...
most beautiful floral arrangements I've ever seen and did an exceptional job of honoring our wishes to have a natural and seasonally celebrative floral look. Carolina Flowers has a very thorough initial questionnaire (which I loved), and after filling it out I received a great initial proposal. Even more impressively, when I mentioned that I wanted to take the gazebo decorations in a slightly different direction, Emily immediately heard where I was going and had a wealth of fantastic ideas. She sent me a second proposal that was so in line with what I was looking for that I decided I wanted to abandon some of my previous thoughts and just let her run with it. I was blown away by what she and her team created for us. Our wedding was nothing less than a celebration of autumn and the living world, replete with maple leaves, dried grasses and sustainably grown fall flowers. I loved their work so much that I decided to save as many of the florals and grasses by drying them and decorating our home with them. I cannot recommend Emily and Carolina Flowers highly enough. She and her team's artistic instincts are second to none and they clearly have a deep love for their craft. Thank you SO much!

They ABSOLUTELY delivered beyond what I could have ever dreamed up!! I was in awe of the artistry and how lovely all the colors were. It was everything I wanted and more. I got so many compliments that day, and they truly enhance all the photos too! Thank you so much for elevating my day!!

t how to incorporate all of that with the flowers. She was easy to work with and made us feel good even when our plans changed -- she rolled with it and got us what we needed. I felt comfortable leaving the creative vision with her and we are so happy with the “dahlia spectacular” that she delivered! We only gave her a few general inspo pics, the theme of “bright, bold fall colors”, and talked about our family cultures, and from that she created something better than anything we could have imagined. You can’t go wrong booking Carolina Flowers!

I had requested fall colors and seasonal flowers and Emily created stunninh masterpieces complete with maple leaves that were the centerpiece of my entire decor. Not only was Emily easy to work with, but it is clear she is passionate about what she does... A true artist!!

Emily at Carolina Flowers probably died when I said, “I hate flowers.” But she found the balance of my desire for a winter hunting camp feel that of an actual wedding. When I said ...
I wanted broody, gloomy she provided the most beautiful dark purple and oxblood flowers to contrast all of the greenery I wanted to bring indoors. Her team built and amazing circle arbor of greenery that was absolutely jaw-dropping. From the bouquets, the flower girl’s headpiece to the garland running down the table, Carolina Flowers’ work was stunning. They were professional a responsive and it was one aspect of my wedding I did not worry about after the contract was signed, and it came out perfectly.

I cannot thank her enough and will be buying flowers from her again whenever I am in the Asheville area.

My husband and I didn't have a very specific vision for our wedding flowers, but that proved to not be a problem at all. Emily had us complete a detailed questionnaire about our flower preferences, needs, and budget, which helped us create the proposal. When Emily delivered the flowers on our wedding day I was BLOWN AWAY. They were so gorgeous and exceeded my expectations. I was so happy to work with a florist who took our input and budget into account, while using her own expertise to create something truly stunning.
