Charleston Flower Market

If you are getting married in Charleston, your florist choice is EASY - Charleston Flower Market is most definitely the way to go! Catherine, the wedding florals coordinator, is SO GOOD at what she does! My flowers exceeded my imagination! They managed to take all the crazy thoughts and pictures i sent them and create arrangements that were exactly what I wanted, even when I didn't know what I wanted! They were so flexible with my budget and wedding day coordination details, they accommodated every request, and they truly went above and beyond to create the exact aesthetic we wanted. Every interaction with them was top-notch, and I am so grateful they were a part of our wedding day! Thank you Catherine and Charleston Flower Market!

I really enjoyed working with Catherine and was very happy with the flowers the day of the wedding. I know very little about flowers, so I was nervous about how they would come out, but I was they were exactly as I had hoped. Our guests could not stop commenting on how beautiful the centerpieces were, but most of all how gorgeous my bouquet was. Catherine really listened to what I envisioned in regards to size, weight, color and texture for my bouquet, and she hit the nail right on the head!

Charleston Flower Market did an incredible job with my wedding flowers! I received tons of compliments on the flowers and how beautiful they were. Wonderful service, helpful and friendly. I will be using them any time I need flowers from now on!

My wedding flowers were exactly what I wanted. I worked Catherine who took all of my ideas and made them more beautiful then I could have ever imagined. 100 percent exceeded my expectations. On top of that, we got married during hurricane Matthew and had to push our wedding day back 2 days with only a couple days notice. Charleston Flower Market seamlessly switched dates and worked with us even when they had no power at the store. Thank you so much to Catherine and CFM!

Catherine was great! I didn't have a very specific idea of what I wanted, so she suggested I create a Pinterest board of things I liked, and she would take it from there. The flowers all turned out beautiful!

Charleston Flower Market is AMAZING! They did flowers for my wedding as well as uplighting. We were married at Boone Hall Plantation in November of 2015. Everything was perfect. Their wedding designer, Catherine captured my vision and was able to make my Pinterest Dream Wedding come true. The pricing was good and she was willing to work with our budget. I would suggest them to any and everyone! We are now using them at our upcoming baby shower and I know we'll be using them for many more holidays, birthdays & events to come!

Charleston Flower Market, specifically Catherine, did an amazing job on my wedding. Being from out of town and not knowing local vendors, I relied on reviews or recommendations and Catherine was recommended to me. My fiance and I met Catherine once and she truly captured our vision of simple elegance. Everything from our bouquets to the centerpieces to placing our personalized oyster shells was absolutely beautiful. Thank you Catherine and team!

My wedding was May 21st 2016. I wanted simple but elegant arrangements of yellow and white flowers that were in season. I let her do the rest. She did an AMAZING job and went above and beyond for me. I would definitely use them again. Really accommodating! It was really important to me to have daffodils in my bouquet but I learned they were out of season in march. She saved and dried daffodils for me and I was able to use them in my wedding bouquet. It was my grandfather's favorite flower and it was a special memento to have. Excellent !!

I wouldn't recommend giving this place your business. I set up an appointment a couple weeks ago to go over flowers for my wedding and arrived on time today to find that the person wasn't there. She selected the meeting date and time. Another staff person called her and said she was "on the way". Waited until 20 minutes past our set meeting time and I ultimately left. If they can't keep a simple meeting I definitely cannot trust them to be on time (or remember) for my wedding. Also, staff wasn't very apologetic of wasting my time.

Our wedding was on May 14th, 2016. We had met with Catherine over a year before our wedding date and she was wonderful to work with and had my Pinterest page with a detailed list of what my husband and I wanted months in advance. Day of the wedding Catherine arrived to set up and we began to notice that our flowers were not what we expected. The gardenias were brown, my bridal bouquet was not wrapped correctly with wilted white roses, the bridesmaids bouquets had closed Sunflowers, the boutonnieres and corsages were brown and wilting. My heart began to sink. Catherine then went to Harris Teeter for a few extra Sunflower to add to the bouquets. The day after we were eating breakfast with our guests and one of our closest friends made a comment about our table arrangements and how it was a good idea to have fake flowers so we could reuse them. FAKE FLOWERS?! I freaked and began to look over our pictures. Sure enough our centerpieces and cake table flowers, forsythias, were fake. We had also asked for shepherd’s hooks down the aisle to hang daisy balls. Instead there were no shepherd hooks and Catherine hung them over our guest chairs. We emailed Louise Thackeray on the 18th after we had called the store to set up a meeting. She replied that she would be in and out as it was their busiest time of year. We understood and asked her to set a date and time that fit her schedule as we would like to go over our experience with her company. May 24th we had still not heard back so we emailed her again. She called us and we set up a meeting the last week in May. When we arrived Louise met us and we explained to her our displeasure with their products. We went over our estimate with her and she marked down the items that we were charged for and tried to explain their side of what happened. She explained that they occasionally use fake flowers if their supplier runs out (weather, transportation issues, etc..) she explained that the shepherds hooks could not fit into the grass that day because the ground was too hard. She explained that they knew the sunflowers were not opened and sometimes they have to make emergency runs to other suppliers to make last minute changes. We showed her the pictures of all the flowers and she agreed that some of them were not to her company’s standard. She took our estimate and began to mark through some of the items that we were charged for and said that she would look it over and get back to us. July 9th, 2016 and we have not heard a word. I emailed her again on June 3rd see where we were on our final discussion. No phone calls, no emails. Of course they were paid in advance as were all our vendors so we have really no recourse but to share our experience through social media in hopes that others will not make the same mistake we did. Let me say that we are fine with Louie's excuses for "fake" flowers (my husband would have like to have kept them, since we did actually pay for them), we understand that things happen (the ground is too hard, shipments did not come in, weather patterns change supply volume) but we would have liked to have been charged accordingly and reimbursed for what we actually received and told prior to signing our contract that these things happen all the time (according to Louie’s) and what they would do if these problems arouse. Their flowers were terrible and so was our interaction with them once they were paid in full.

Catherine absolutely exceeded my expectations!! Seeing my bouquet almost brought me to happy tears! Our centerpieces were more beautiful than I could have imagined and she perfectly captured my vision. Will definitely recommend in the future!

Charleston Flower Market did an incredible job with all of the flower arrangements for our wedding, and I could not have been more pleased! I did not have a clear idea of what flowers I wanted, but Catherine was able to come up with the perfect package anyways. I described the venue and a vague color scheme and she took it from there, and made sure that everything she provided worked with the existing scenery as well as our budget. The boutonnieres, my bridal bouquet, and the bridesmaids bouquets were exactly what I wanted, and we received so many compliments! She worked with us to use these same bouquets as centerpieces on half of the reception tables, while providing additional arrangements, aisle markers, a small cluster for our cake, and greenery to enhance what was already growing on the courtyard trellis. Communication was so easy – I planned our wedding from a distance, and Catherine made me feel assured that everything would be perfect; she took the time to meet with us during our one visit to Charleston during the planning process, showing us her inventory of vases and candles and lanterns, so that when we left, everything was completely agreed on and ready to go for our big day. I can’t thank her and her team enough for providing our wedding flowers perfect – it was one of our best decisions to go with CFM and I have been so thrilled with the pictures I have seen so far which include the gorgeous arrangements!

Catherine and the Charleston Flower Market team were truly the most amazing florist we could have asked for. Everything was done beautifully and with ease and she was so easy to work with leading up to the event! Highly recommend using them. The prices are very reasonable as well, especially for Charleston. Thank you Charleston Flower Market!

I have mixed thoughts about this florist. I will say I loved my flower arrangements at my ceremony and reception, but our bridal party flowers were so horrible I actually burst into tears when I saw them. Our boutonnieres were supposed to be anemones and they were tiny and not opened at all so extra expense was pointless. My bridal bouquet was $245 and looked like something put together from a grocery store. It was mostly hydrangea and roses (inexpensive flowers) and it was suppose to have anemones (expensive flowers) but only had 3 in the whole bunch were were again barely opened so added no color. It looked nothing like the bouquet we agreed on or any of the 3 pictures I sent a minimum of 5 times. I even requested a meeting with her the day before the wedding but she only had 1 small arrangement ready for me to review. She acted like she had no time for me because mine wasn't a "big" order, but mind you I spent $1750 on flowers all together so not an insignificant budget! I emailed her afterwards and never got any responses. She also was to have a wrist corsage for our reader which was never delivered. There are so many florists in Charleston. I'm afraid if you have a budget <$2000 you may be ignored during a busy period. I am very disappointed Catherine!

After calling around to other Charleston Florists which required wedding minimums, I made an appointment to meet with the owner at Charleston Flower Market. She was great. She sat down with me, got a feel for what I liked, (I took a fabric sample of my bridesmaids' dresses to show color ideas) and gave me a quote. She told me to think it over, etc., and get back to her when I was ready. Because I got married outside, I decided that the flowers were not the most important thing to me, so I cut my order down to just bouquets and boutonnieres. Some florists would have given me grief for that, but they didn't and my bouquets were BEAUTIFUL! I was a super laid back bride and kind of gave them creative license. They didn't disappoint. The flowers were fresh and the bouquets were nice and full. They made my husband's boutonniere different than his groomsmen's, and it was my favorite flower, which I didn't think of/ask for, but thought was such an awesome touch!(I had mentioned my favorite at the appointment, they're not psychic! :) Definitely check them out...the shop is adorable, too!

Fantastic! Not only were they affordable, but the flowers were gorgeous! They were extremely helpful throughout the entire process. I feel like they took my Pinterest board, and made it a reality! I couldn't be happier how everything turned out. The bouquets and centerpieces were just as I envisioned!

Catherine and the team at Charleston Flower Market were an absolute pleasure to work with. We only had one meeting where I told her my color ideas and flower preferences and she did the rest. My bouquet was absolutely stunning and one of my favorite parts of my wedding. My ceremony and reception were decorated simply, yet beautifully. Catherine personally dropped the flowers off to my hotel and came to gather everything at the end of the reception. They are so professional and thoughtful-I cannot recommend Charleston Flower Market enough!

Wow!! My flowers were perfect!! They were everything that I wanted them to look like. When I was a little concerned with the color Catherine made sure to get what I wanted!!! I loved them!! My bouquet was perfect!!

We were so impressed by Charleston Flower Market! We showed up with one picture, and I talked them through what i was envisioning, and they completely delivered! They are reasonably priced, and gave us a price listing of everything we talked about so we could review it at home. We got our centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, aisle liners, altar flowers, and 2 big wreaths through them. Everything turned out beautifully!

I loved my bridal bouquet and the table centerpiece holders. The centerpieces were in birch/wooden textured containers with various sized glass vases surrounded by moss. My bouquet was a mix of various types of white, english roses and lavender sprigs, as I wanted. I also enjoyed the greenery included but was a bit disappointed that more deep purple flowers were not used to match our plum wedding color, as well as lavender sprigs throughout the decor as that is one of my favorites. With that being said, they were easy to work with throughout the process. However, I wish we had had a follow up conversation closer to the event to be sure we were still on the same page. Though they were able to work with my event planner to schedule a drop-off time.

every single flower was perfect!! and the tables and venue was beautiful !!!! Loved working with Catherine !!

I can't say enough about how wonderful the people at the Charleston Flower Market were to work with! They did an amazing job staying within our budget and providing us with beautiful flowers. I highly recommend them!!

I used Charleston Flower Market for my wedding at the Cotton Dock at Boone Hall Plantation. I met with Catherine to make all of my selections. She was knowledgeable, flexible, and really took her time meeting with me. My flowers were beautiful and were put together better than I could have imagined. I would absolutely recommend their services and plan to use them again in the future!

I contacted this company by phone and email and was told they were able to do the flowers for my wedding. After emailing details of the wedding and exactly what I wanted, I never heard back from the company. I had a wedding of only about 65 people and was not making any crazy or unrealistic requests. I called and emailed several times without response before I gave up on them and found another florist. That's just bad business! A response saying they weren't interested in helping us would have at least been the professional thing to do! Would not recommend contacting this business, especially if you have time constraints and can't wait a month or two to be blown off.

Our yellow rose and freesias bouquets were gorgeous!

We worked with Charleston Flower Market for our wedding a few weeks ago and I can't say enough about how wonderful they were! Everything turned out so much better than I could have ever expected and they were great to work with. We planned our wedding from Washington, DC so it can be a bit difficult to communicate with vendors from afar but they were very responsive and very patient when I called and emailed multiple times certain weeks with questions. Their pricing was incredibly reasonable and they delivered on everything they promised. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone!

I am not a flower person. I met with Catherine, showed her my pinterest page of all the flowers I liked and she took the lead from there and helped guide me in the right direction! My flowers turned out to be more than I ever dreamed of. Absolutely beautiful and I received so many compliments!

This is the one vendor that the MOB had her choice. She sat with the florist and went through pictures. They were easy to work with and made beautiful arrangements.

I had a couple of meetings with Catherine and she was able to create what I saw in my mind to a T. The bouquets were so beautiful I almost cried when I saw them. The were a preferred vendor of my venue and I can see why. I felt their prices were fair and the ceremony and reception were beautiful.

Catherine did a beautiful job with the flowers at my wedding. Highly recommended!!!

Ever been given exactly what you wanted without even knowing what that was? That's how I feel about my wedding flowers. They were perfect! Catherine was great to work with. She took the idea photos I gave her and created bouquets that were so much better. I got the photographs I wanted thanks in part to the beautiful, vibrant colors of the bouquets.

Charleston Flower Market was the perfect fit for Trey and I's wedding. It only took one meeting to know that Catherine was calm and collected. I could absolutely relate to her and it made my decision easy. It was an easy process to finalize pricing and floral selection and on the day of, my wedding planner was alight with excitement about how wonderful the flowers turned out. I couldn't agree more. Thank you so much!

Catherine was wonderful to work with- she made it easy and stress free. She heard my vision and did exactly what I was hoping for. Everything was beautiful! Prices were VERY reasonable!

Catherine Davis of the Charleston Flower Market was wonderful. As I am from Pittsburgh, I thought it would be extremely difficult planning an out of town wedding, but Catherine made it simple. The cocktail hour and reception flowers and decor were amazing! When I walked into the reception, I was stunned by just how gorgeous everything turned out. From the runners, to the centerpieces to the hanging lanterns, everything was just gorgeous. It would not have been possible if not for her suggestions, expertise, ideas. I HIGHLY recommend the Charleston Flower Market, it was a pleasure working with them. Thank you so much!

Catherine was so easy to work with and the flowers were absolutely gorgeous. Better than I could have ever hoped for!

My flowers ended up being perfect! They really did a great job by putting together stuff from my style and pictures. They were sometimes a little slow about responding but it ended up being perfect.

I'm not going to lie, I changed my mind on my bouquet quite a few times. They were very helpful with showing me pictures of different bouquets and even took me in the refrigerated room with all the flowers to show me my exact options. I loved my bouquet and all the flowers they did for me. I would most definitely recommend using them as your florist!

Great arrangements and friendly service! The bouquets and flower arrangements were gorgeous!

Catherine at Charleston Flower Market did an amazing job on my October wedding at The Historic Rice Mill. She was so easy to work with and was very quick answering any questions. Everything turned out beautiful.they even helped my mother in law with the rehearsal dinner. They even saved the flowers and brought them to the wedding the next day!

With little direction, the arrangements and decor were perfect! Everything from meetings to set up was a breeze. Catherine even incorportated items we barrowed to keep costs down and assisted with finding a lighting vendor for a great price! HIghly recommend!!!

Charleston Flower Market played an integral role in making my wedding day perfect! Catherine and her team are highly knowledgeable and personable. I did not know exactly what I wanted when I first came to the Flower Market. I met with Catherine, gave her a basic color scheme and a few types of flowers that I liked. From there, she created the perfect arrangements and bouquets for my reception and bridal party. The Charleston Flower Market also helped with other details for the reception site; lanterns, votive candles,etc. The folks at Charleston Flower Market are flexible, friendly, and dedicated to making each of their client's wedding beautiful. I highly recommend them to any bride to be around Charleston.

Charleston flower market did absolutely beautiful work for our wedding. My flowers were absolutely stunning and everything that I could have ever wanted! When we met with them, it was great just flowing through ideas and getting things together so that it would be perfect the day of. The only thing I will say is that there communication leaves something to be desired. I would call them and leave them messages and would not hear anything or they would say they would call me back or e-mail me and I would have to call and remind them. It took several attempts to finally get a final contract, but we eventually got it all worked out. I think it's more of an organization thing than anything because we were planning things during the busy prom/wedding season. They did beautiful work and I would highly recommend them, but I think you have to have patience. But they take your ideas and make them wonderful and I don't think you will be disappointed with the results!

My fiance and I had consultations with a few vendors and found that the Charleston Flower Market were the only ones who really listened to what we wanted and gave us a quote accordingly. We asked for a specific look, but were pretty flexible regarding the flowers used. Catherine was very helpful and showed us flowers in all price ranges in the colors we wanted. Everything was perfect the day of and was just what I had envisioned.

Catherine and her team did a phenomenal job and exceeded our expectations. Her prices were well below the other companies we spoke with and the final product was a work of art.
