American Floral

Scott and his team did a wonderful job with flowers for our wedding! What we initially envisioned was out of our budget, so Scott helped us think through our flower priorities and getting the most for our money. Scott was super positive, flexible, clearly knowledgeable about his craft, and the whole team created and set up beautiful flowers for our special day. American Floral came highly recommended from our wedding coordinator, and I’ll happily recommend them to others as well! Photos of the stunning creations are from Nikki Morgan Photography.

Scott and his team were AMAZING to work with! I shared some inspiration pictures and he brought everything to life. He made sure to go over all of the details with me thoroughly before the big day and I couldn't have been happier with the final results!

Scott and his team truly made the day special. He was so easy to work with and it took my breath away to see our vision come to life through his work! Everything was so beautiful, and I even had it preserved so I can look at it for a lifetime! I cannot recommend anyone better.

I absolutely loved working with Scott at American Floral. I got married in December of 2023 and definitely wanted different vibes then a normal wedding. I wanted more moody flowers and a cascading bouquet for the drama. Showed Scott what I wanted, and he made it come to life. My bouquet was absolutely beautiful and everything I wanted it to be. All my other flowers were exactly the right vibe for me wedding. So happy with my decision to go with American Floral.

Loved working with Scott at American Floral! I didn't really know what I wanted, so I gave him some flowers I like and our wedding colors, and he gave us an amazingly beautiful alter spray. Scott was also always very quick to respond (literally, and with a good joke).

Going with American Floral was one of the best choices I made for our wedding. I love flowers but have little design skills, and Scott took my ideas and made them happen. He worked with my budget, was honest and creative, and took what felt like silly requests from my mother and I with the utmost professionalism. The flowers were simply stunning, from the bouquet to the reception, and all the extra greenery and little touches that he added brought the venue together. Sooo many people were impressed with the flowers and said were some of the prettiest they'd seen! Many thanks to Scott and his team, and I cannot recommend them enough.

Scott was so wonderful to work with! He was so responsive, kind, organized, and truly made my vision come to life on our wedding day. I can't recommend him highly enough!

American Floral is who we would love to have as our florist! They do amazing work and their team is awesome and professional and caring.

American Floral is the best! Working with Scott and his team is definitely the way to go. They go above and beyond to make every event perfect. They can do everything from bouquets to beautiful arches and gorgeous centerpieces. This is definitely my go to florist for any event!

American Floral was so amazing to work with. They brought my vision to life and everything looked so beautiful. Scott is so personable and so kind. I would recommend American Floral to anyone!

American floral was outstanding to work with. They took my small vision and made it amazing. The designer became so much more to us than a florist he gave us great ideas for other parts of the ceremony, and he truly knows what he’s doing and talking about. I am so so thankful for all the advice that he gave me . He took my small, intimate personal wedding and made it still small and intimate, but with some extravagant, beautiful, flowering touches. No matter what your wedding budget is or flower budget for any reason these are the people to reach out to. Thank you American Floral see you again soon for all our floral needs for years to come!

American Floral was the best choice for the florals for my big day. Scott was kind, supportive and his tremendous amount of knowledge was invaluable. I would recommend Scott and American Floral to anyone. Great pricing, great customer service, great product!

We used American Floral for my daughter's wedding. From the first meeting, Scott was amazing. He asked questions so he knew EXACTLY what we wanted. He kept in touch with us through the whole process. The day of the wedding it was raining so we had to move the service and flowers inside. He instantly made it happen. His comic relief was much needed on wedding day! Everyone commented on how beautifully everything was decorated especially the cake. I am so glad we found Scott and American Floral. I would definitely recommend him over and over again!

We cannot recommend American Floral enough!! We had such an amazing experience with Scott and his team throughout wedding planning--he met with us several times to go over our ideas and was so helpful with recommending what would look good with our style/theme and also what we might need and possible placements. From just a few pictures he and his team were able to see what we wanted and deliver on it and MORE! Our wedding flowers were so beautiful and classic and our guests still rave about them!! Scott and his team also had great communication--if we ever had any questions he got back to us right away. We will be using them again for other events, and recommend them to everyone we know!

I used scott for our wedding in November and I cant praise him enough for the amazing work he did! He was so kind and helpful through out the entire process!! Me and my husband were definitely struggling to figure out the things we needed and wanted and he definitely stepped up to help us and always answered quickly when we needed him! His arrangements were gorgeous and I couldn't have asked for anything better! I highly recommend him for your wedding!!!

I cannot recommend American Floral enough! Scott, Kim, and their entire team were phenomenal to work with from start to finish! They took our wedding vision and brought it to life beyond what I could have possibly imagined! They’re honest when discussing ideas, fairly priced, and completely professional! Cannot recommend their services enough!

Scott and the American Floral team blew me away from the start of our wedding consultation to wedding day! Not only did they help me plan the flowers down to the last detail, but we’re understanding and supportive when my date had to be moved because my husband was still deployed. They went above and beyond everything I had imagined for my day and my husband and I could not be more pleased with how everything turned out. Y’all made it perfect and have customers for life!

We were so very fortunate to have had American Floral suggested to us for the floral design for our daughter’s wedding in August 2022. Scott was great to work with and really listened to our ideas for the florals. He took our simple vision for blue and white flowers to a stunning reality that was anything but simple. We knew we wanted simple bouquets, unique boutioneers and modest florals for the wedding ceremony and a chinoiserie-styled reception. Scott took us through the entire planning process asking us all the right questions and keeping us on a great schedule to reduce stress during what could have been a stressful time. His experience and calm demeanor always made us feel at ease and confident in our planning process. We never felt out of the loop in the decisions because of his willingness to discuss details. We came to him with a very specific vision with no prior experience in wedding planning. Other floral designers may not have had the willingness to keep things so specific, but Scott gave us the simple elegance that we wanted. Scott met with me repeatedly to get all of the details just right, and we were absolutely thrilled with the results. The flowers at Shandon United Methodist Church were stunning, and the reception florals at Forest Lake Club were breathtaking. I would highly recommend working with Scott at American Floral for a wedding or any other special event.

Scott and American Floral are simply amazing. He gave me just what I envisioned. The extra added touches really brought it all together. My wedding arrangements were impeccable and simply beautiful. Thank you Scott and American Floral!!!!

American Floral made my wedding day an absolute dream! Scott and the team took my vision and made it a reality. Everything was absolutely perfect and I couldn't have done it without them. I loved the simplicity of the ceremony with the vases and candles, the table decorations at the reception was exactly what I was envisioning. It was the most perfect, beautiful, breathtaking day and I am so thankful I chose American Floral. They listen to every single detail and make sure it is exactly what YOU want for your wedding day. Can't thank them enough for all they did for me!

There's a reason why American Floral has been in the wedding and event business for 25+ years. That doesn't happen by accident. Scott and Kim make a wonderful team. We have worked with them on weddings and special events at Farm Crafted Events and they have ALWAYS over-delivered. Sometimes our couples give us very little direction, but the end product NEVER disappoints. They are easy to work with, over-communicate, and PLUS they are just really good people. We love working with their team!

Scott and American Floral are the best around! We walked in to American Floral and shared our vision with Scott and he ran with our ideas. He created the most gorgeous centerpiece for our table, boutonnieres, corsages, and bouquets. He was extremely friendly and helpful every time we had a question. Scott and American Floral are extremely professional and their work speaks for itself. Outstanding all the way around!

American Floral and Scott are more than 5 stars! They were the Team for our first daughter and our second daughter. Both weddings were challenging because both lived out of state, but had weddings in Columbia. Second daughter lived in Japan on aUS Navy ship, and then moved to Italy all while planning her wedding. Scott and American Floral used email and FaceTime to work out all planning. Flowers were beautiful and The Team was easily accessible, professional, and fun. Thanks Scott and everyone at American Floral. You are mostly highly recommended from our family!

I had the pleasure of working with Scott Jones & American Floral for my wedding on 8/28/2021 at The Lace House, and I'm so glad I did! I walked into my meeting with him with no idea what I wanted, and he took what I liked and ran with it. I am so glad I trusted Scott. He ended up being the florist for my entire wedding weekend (bridal luncheon, rehearsal dinner and wedding) and everyone has told me how much they loved my flowers from all the events! The best part was arriving to my venue at 10:30 AM on the day of the wedding- and he was already there & almost finished setting everything up! This calmed my anxious bride mind so much. I highly recommend American Floral, and since my wedding, I have already recommended them to multiple people I know who are recently engaged. I will be using them for arrangements and flowers from now on. They are WORTH it!

The first time that I spoke with Scott, I immediately called my mom and told her that he was the one that I wanted to do our flowers. He was so funny and sweet to work with and gave me the flowers of my dreams. My grandmother told me that “Our Flowers” were just like me; gentle and beautiful. I was so happy that Scott was able to make my vision come to life. The flowers were absolutely breathtaking. When I arrived at 701 Whaley and saw the wreaths on the door, my heart melted. It was just as I had visioned it would be. I was so in love and all the flowers inside made it so much more special. Scott was great to work with and most importantly, was patient with me!

Debbie Russ mother of the bride We had a life long friend that is a florist who was not well and could not do my daughter’s wedding. He had always planned to do her wedding. Scott was recommended to us and we could not have been happier. His flowers were absolutely beautiful. You must know her wedding was Wednesday Dec 30 so flowers had to come in the week before. Scott made it so I did not worry. He delivered plus. He made the wedding Magical. I would recommend him for any type of event or flower arrangement that you may need. He was a true “Blessing”. Thank you Scott and American Floral staff

It’s impossible to put into words just how amazing and talented Scott and American Floral are at what they do. I am extremely detailed and was even more so that way when it came to my wedding. I knew what looked I wanted, and from my very first meeting with Scott, I was sure he would deliver. From my bridal portrait bouquet to the rehearsal dinner florals to the wedding and reception, Scott and his team made every single one of my dreams come true. I can’t tell me how many people have reached out wanting to know who was responsible for my florals. I’ve even had people that weren’t invited to the wedding reach because they have either seen pictures or heard from someone who was there just how gorgeous the florals were. Scott understood from the beginning how detailed I am, so prior to leaving the ceremony and wedding venue, he came to see me so that we could do an entire walk through together. It meant so much to me. Scott is absolutely the person to hire for your wedding or event!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about American Floral! I worked directly with Lynn throughout the entire wedding process and she was phenomenal! Scott, the owner, is amazing and very talented too! From our first meeting, Lynn was so patient and took the time to listen to every detail of my plans. We instantly clicked and she knew exactly what I wanted from hearing my vision, which was not easy because I had no clue about specific flowers. Lynn took the time to walk us through everything and shared ideas, but was never pushy. She left everything up to us and was very supportive and accommodating. During the pandemic, I was supposed to have bridal portraits, but they were canceled. The bouquet was already made, but they worked with us and were so accommodating. We were able to change a few things and implement ideas from that bouquet for the next one and it turned out even better! Whenever a specific type of flower was in limited stock, Lynn found an alternative that was still so gorgeous (even better in my opinion) and my bridal portrait bouquet, along with the wedding bouquet were perfect! All of the flowers for the wedding were so fresh and gorgeous! They created a wonderful arrangement to hang on the gazebo where we had the ceremony. It was a gorgeous focal point for the wedding! We also used American Floral for our rehearsal dinner and Lynn helped bring to life a special "fishing theme" for the groom! Their work is the most affordable and best quality! They are very flexible, reliable, and such a pleasure to work with!

I have been planning my wedding for the past 16 months to take place in May of 2020. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 we have had to postpone. Scott was so flexible and willing to work with us during this difficult time. Scott was one of the first vendors to say he would be wherever I needed him to be on whatever day. This made rescheduling so much less stressful. I cannot say enough positive things about American Floral, from the planning stage, to now the rescheduling phase. We are looking forward to working with them in May of 2021!!

Scott and the whole team at American Floral are absolutely phenomenal. Their work is fantastic and their willingness to go above and beyond just can’t be beat. I had my wedding date planned almost a year ago for beginning of May and American Floral had been working with me on it along the way. With the virus going around, and having so many elderly and out of town guests, unfortunately we had to postpone. American Floral was checking on me the whole way! Not just about wedding details, but also how I was feeling with all of it. They really care about you and want you to have the best experience possible! I’ve talked to other brides who have used other companies and they always say they wished they would have had the service that American Floral provides. I’ve now updated my wedding day and they are going out of their way to accommodate my new date. I’m so glad I went with them and will recommend them 100% to anyone needing a florist!

Scott Jones is the florist you want to work with! I got married Valentine's weekend and felt nervous that a flower mix-up may happen. Rest assured, it did not and the flowers were more beautiful than I could have imagined. All I wanted was red roses. Each rose looked identical on every bouquet and boutonniere, and they did not wilt throughout our 10-hour day. Scott is very professional and was patient with me as I changed my mind four times throughout the planning process. He is your go-to flower man!

Lynn... She was amazing. So encouraging and kind and understanding! The flowers were perfect for my bridal portraits and out of this world for the wedding and all the additional details. She was super flexible and motivated to make us happy with what we got! Recommend her (and American Floral) regularly!

Our flowers turned out beautiful!

Scott is amazing, portrait bouquet was on point and so was everything at the ceremony!!

Scott was great to work with. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because I made a big point of including some of my grandmothers' brooches to the back of my bridal bouquet (not on the front because I wanted them to be hidden) in our numerous meetings leading up to the wedding, however, the day of the wedding I was handed my bouquet for pictures and saw all of the brooches displayed on the front. Other than that everything was exactly as we asked and the company as great to work with. Just bummed that my bouquet didn't turn out exactly as I wanted.

Nothing but wonderful things to say about American Floral. From the staff, the flowers, and set up the day of the wedding. We met with Scott twice before the wedding to make sure we get exactly what we wanted and American Floral did deliver! So many guests and family commented on just how beautiful our centerpieces and bouquet were (and still are)! We can not thank them enough.

American Floral was one of the best choices we made for our wedding! I wanted a rustic, nature look and with a few photos, key words, and meetings with Scott it turned out perfectly. He was straightforward with the pricing and even worked with some of the DIYs that I created. A very flexible and experienced florist!

I would give Scott and his team 100+ stars if I could! Absolutely beautiful work they did. I'm not the most creative, but I told Scott what I liked and didn't like, and he made everything perfect. So easy to work with too. I would recommend him to any and everyone.

Great service flowers were beautiful

I loved working with American Floral! Scott and his team are true artists! Scott worked with my husband and I to make sure that we had the right flowers and the right types of arrangements for our whole wedding day. The flowers were delivered to the various locations for our day. The reception hall was decorated meticulously with the arrangements. Scott made sure that we were able to transport the arrangements from the chapel to the reception hall so no arrangements went to waste. Scott works with your budget and is honest about what you can get within the price range. I would definitely recommend American Floral to anyone needing floral arrangements!

Scott was so fantastic to work with and made everything absolutely stunning. It was so easy to just show him some pictures and share a couple of ideas and he turned it into reality. Due to weather we had to change venues just 3 days before our wedding and Scott completely came through for us. He had to change so many of the decorations to fit the new venue and it couldn't have been more perfect. He thinks of every single detail so you don't have too. I highly recommend this talented florist!!

Lynn was absolutely astonishing!!!!! She took every last bit of information i told her and created the boquet of my dreams! She found me flowers I never knew even existed! They were amazing working with my baker directly so I had one less thing to stress about! I can’t say enough about Lynn!

American Floral is a MUST for your wedding! I had a lot of trouble finding responsive vendors in all areas of my wedding, and I expressed my frustration to Scott in our first conversation. From there on out, he treated me like I was his only client and made me feel SO special and important. He listened to what I was looking for, asked questions that I would have never even thought to tell him, and he and Lynn seriously designed the bouquet of my dreams. I could not be more pleased with my decision, and I feel like I've made a friend through our "transaction"! Thank you Scott, Lynn, and American Floral for creating the most perfect flowers for my wedding day! You made me one very happy bride, and I am so glad I found American Floral!

Scott does an excellent job, gets in early on the day of, and worked with us on creative ideas/changes. He was also upfront about costs and made recommendations on cutting costs. Also he is just a cool guy whom we both enjoyed working with. Thank you!

American Floral was the first recommendation given to me for florists in the Columbia area. My wedding planner and photographers both recommended them, and I was not disappointed! Scott made my flower dreams come true. He was able to show me multiple weddings that he had done at our venue which gave me a ton of ideas. All I had to do was tell him what I wanted, and he was able to bring it to life. He is very open about prices and will work around your budget. Plus, he's very personable and hilarious! He was early on wedding day and worked with the wedding planner to set everything up perfectly.

Scott and Lynn at American Floral were two of the highlights of my wedding planning process. Scott is currently the president of the local wedding association. He knew all the venues and could suggest what kinds of arrangements we wanted and show us examples of past arrangements they had done at our church and reception venue. He was full of advice about the planning process and gave us many good contacts, but made sure that I never felt pressured to do things the way he suggested. Lynn made my bouquet and we touched base several times before my bridal portraits and again before the wedding so she could make sure that my bouquet was exactly what I wanted. It was absolutely beautiful!!! American floral was also incredibly fair and up-front in their pricing. They deliver and set-up at both the wedding and reception venue and come back to pick up their containers. They took fantastic care of us and I cannot recommend them highly enough!!

When we walked into American Floral, we were really encouraged by what we saw and heard from Scott. He was very nice, seemed to have a clear vision for what we wanted to do. And we liked his style. While we did have a particular style, we also had to conform to a budget, and the flowers were a bit over budget. We asked around for other quotes from different florists, and we had some that were lower, but we really did want to work with Scott. When we emailed Scott, asking if there were any things we could cut out to save on the budget. Very non-confrontational email. Well, what we received was a very accusatory, frankly unprofessional email. We didn’t think our request was out of the ordinary (wondering if there were ways to amend some of the flowers to bring the total cost down) so we were definitely taken aback by the pretty hostile response. A complete 180 from our initial meeting. We decided to go with someone else for flowers. Unfortunately, based off of this reaction, we cannot recommend their services.

I can not express my gratitude for American Floral and Scott!! From my bridal portrait bouquet up to my toss bouquet everything was perfect. Scott saw my vision from the moment we met and out did himself. We are so grateful for him and his team. Thank you so much :)

Lovely arrangements, both for bouquets and for pew decorations.

I can't say enough good things about American Floral. I'm not a big flower person but this ended up being one of my favorite vendors for our wedding. Scott at American Floral was so nice to work with. He made the process fun and easy. Throughout the whole process Scott reminded me to enjoy the ride. I was able to show him photos of ideas I had and he made my vision a reality! On the wedding day, the flowers exceeded my expectations. Everything arrived flawlessly and looked beautiful. I would highly recommend American Floral!

Scott is so fun to work with! He totally got my vision and made everything so beautiful!

Scott was amazing to work with. I've never been a flower person, so I don't know what flowers are more expensive than others, etc. I showed him a bunch of photos that I liked from Pinterest, told him my color scheme and the look/feeling I was going for and the price point I wanted to be at, and he made it happen! Even along the way, we had to make some changes and add more flowers for decorations and Scott made it happen with minimal cost increases. Then, on the day of, I showed up at venue and everything was better than I could have imagined! I'm not creative/visual so it was hard for me to picture what I wanted it to look like, but I loved it! I hated that we didn't get to enjoy the flowers long since we left on our honeymoon and flowers were about dead when we got back. It was perfect and I'd recommend Scott and the American Floral team to anyone!

All of our flowers were stunning! The whole American floral team did an amazing job and I couldn't be more happy with how it turned out!

When I arrived to my venue and saw all the beautiful table arrangements, I was in love. Then I saw my bouquet, and my breath was taken away! Scott did SUCH an amazing job with everything. Not only were all the floral pieces absolutely beautiful (seriously, everything I wanted and more), but Scott and his team were so wonderful to work with. They were all very easy to talk to. It was like talking to a friend. There wasn't any pushing to get more than what I needed or to glam things up. He was very honest, and really listened to what I wanted. Just to add to it, they are quite affordable compared to other vendors who wanted about double for basically the same thing. Thank you so much, Scott and the rest of the American Floral team!

Scott and his team at American Floral came to our rescue when my original florist fell through just a few weeks before our wedding!! I was scared to death, but I felt a huge sense of relief after talking to him for just a few minutes!! A few days after the initial meeting, he made my bouquet for my bridal portraits and it was stunning!! Scott made sure that we were on the same page and he kept in contact with us throughout the entire process! He took my vision and ran with it!! I was beyond happy with every single detail all the way down to the beautiful ribbons and pearls he added to my bouquet!!! If you want an experienced, trustworthy, amazing florist, I highly recommend Scott and his team at American Floral! I am so grateful that he was able to accommodate us within such a short notice and still treat us the same as every other client!!!! He made my dreams come true and our day wouldn't have been the same without the talent and professionalism of the staff at American Floral! Thank y'all so much for making our day one that we will never forget!!! xoxo - Amanda Briggs Welch
