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.

I worked with Carolina Flowers for my wedding. They were so easy to communicate with, very professional and efficient. The flowers were absolutely stunning! The wedding would not have been the same without them. The flowers are actually still beautiful and it's been two weeks since the wedding. Highly recommend working with Carolina Flowers!

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!

We used their Wedding and Celebration Shop a la carte service for our bouquets, boutonnières, corsages, and flower crowns. This was an affordable option for us and the quality was impeccable. We sent in inspiration photos and the arrangements they put together far exceeded our expectations. They were truly gorgeous!! And I love that they were grown locally. Plus, they were delivered directly to the venue on the wedding day. Delivery was on time and the driver was so nice. Very happy with our experience and our gorgeous flowers!

Absolutely stunning arrangements!! My spouse and I had no clue what to do for flowers for our wedding so we asked our coordinator with help putting together the order request online. I was already excited about the flowers Carolina Flowers had in season so we basically only told them the colors we wanted to see and the flower/greenery balance we were interested in. 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!!

Carolina Flowers did an AMAZING job creating the bouquet and boutonniere for our wedding. The cake flowers provided were beautiful and went perfectly with the cake. It all was more beautiful than I ever could have imagined! I can't say enough good things!!! They helped make our day so special! I highly recommend Carolina Flowers!

Emily is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. She is responsive and flexible and I would hire her in an instant for my wedding florals!

12/11/2021 • Kady W

Our wedding florals were exactly what I wanted and soooo beautiful. We got so many compliments!

Emily and her team at Carolina Flowers are floral magicians! Our wedding incorporated Indian, Brazilian, and American elements, and Emily went above and beyond to help us figure out 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!

We ordered very basic boutannieres, corsages, a hair clip, and bouquets from their pre-packaged wedding shop. Let me tell you, there was nothing "pre-packaged" about these items!! 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!!

I am absolutely floored by the work Emily and crew did for my wedding on August 21st, 2021. I gave her full executive decision making (which, for a busybody like me can be hard) and she NAILED it. All I did was give her an idea of what I wanted and she ran wild. I am convinced there is no one sweeter or smarter in the floral business. I truly cannot wait to get more photos back so that I can remember my flowers forever. If you are needing flowers in the Asheville area, there's no one better.

Emily was great! She was super easy to work with and really took what I envisioned for my flowers and put them into reality. She responded to all my emails and helped create answered all my questions. I love how she made puts a twist on traditional flowers. We loved the fact that she grows almost all her own flowers.

10/25/2020 • Morgan R

I absolutely LOVED the bridal bouquets and the boutonnières. It really tied in the entire wedding look. We also order led buckets of flowers that we used for small mouthed vases and it was perfect. We got so many compliments on our flowers.

The team at Carolina flowers knocked it out of the park. The arrangements were beautiful and they were so responsive with a professional proposal. I knew exactly what I was getting with my flowers. They were gorgeous and lasted a week after our wedding so we continued to enjoy their work!

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.

Emily was great to work! She made the process easy and the florals were beautiful at the wedding. I did not have a specific idea of what I wanted and she was able to create exactly what I wanted - she even grew white sunflowers for my day! I highly recommend Carolina Flowers.

10/23/2019 • Holley M

I cannot recommend Carolina Flowers enough! Emily was such a joy to work with. I personally had no idea what I wanted in our wedding flowers, or what to expect with our budget when planning for flowers. Emily was patient, helpful and quick to provide feedback and ideas on how to best work with what info and money we had. She did such an amazing job! The flowers, greenery and overall design she provided was perfect. Everything was light, dreamy, and captured our style without me being able to even articulate what our was! She is the best!

Emily was a pleasure to work with from the day that I booked her. I purchased a bridal bouquet and boutonniere from her in addition to three buckets of flowers that I used to make my own centerpieces. I provided her with a color scheme and some inspiration photos and the finished product that she made was more beautiful than anything that I could imagine! She took my inspiration photos and made something that was ten times more beautiful. The flowers that she provided for my centerpieces were perfect as well! I cannot thank her enough and will be buying flowers from her again whenever I am in the Asheville area.

10/16/2019 • Lindsay H

Emily is just the best!!!! She listened to what I wanted on our day & executed it perfectly. I love that she put her own creativity & passion into our day. Her eye for detail & colors is amazing! Emily was prompt in delivering our flowers & had great communication. Our flowers got the MOST compliments on our day!!!!!!

Carolina flowers was everything I hoped it would be. I gave Emily full creative reigns for all our wedding flowers so we cold feature seasonal and local flowers. (I don't know why more people don't do the. It is one less thing to stress about). We were not disappointed. The flowers were amazing! Emily was great to work with. Highly recommend!

I would highly recommend working with Carolina Flowers! Emily was so helpful in the planning process for our wedding. Even when I had to make a last-minute request for an additional boutonniere a few days before the wedding, Emily was flexible and accommodating! 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.

Fantastic job on my beautiful wedding bouquets and bracelets. I would highly recommend Emily's work to anybody. Her designs are unique and the flower quality is excellent.
