We hired Ernest and Wendy for our big day- and we could not be more thrilled! They absolutely exceeded our expectations- and the flowers matched exactly the designs we had sent the...
m. We also were trying to stay close to a specific budget and they worked with us without question. I would recommend them to anyone who is getting married in the Beaufort area. We even wanted to tip them and they insisted we send it to charity. What an amazing bunch! I will update with pictures once we get our pictures back!

I recently got married in June, and Ernest did the flowers for my rehearsal dinner and wedding. He did an outstanding job. He took my ideas to heart and delivered the look I was tr...
ying to achieve. All the flowers looked very fresh and lasted for days after the wedding. He is fairly expensive, but his services were well worth the money. I would choose to do business with him again if I had to do my wedding over.

He did a wonderful job but, was very pricy and unorganized.

I got married in Salter Path and because I am from Raleigh, I had to find a florest I knew nothing about. My wedding planner was told to try Ernest! THIS WAS THE BEST DECISION! ...
My bridal portraits were on a Sunday and Ernest had someone meet me with my bouquet and it looked AMAZING!! On my wedding day he delivered the flowers to the wedding house. I was SO HAPPY with them. My mom and my sister (who just got married and who went to over 10 weddings last year) said they had NEVER seen such beautiful work. My bouquet was elogant and not too big and the bridesmaids' bouquets were colorful and just the right size (I HATE when the bridesmaids have these huge bouquets). Ernest was professional, had great customer service, he wasn't overpriced, and his work is amazing!

Ernest has to be - BY FAR - the most incredible florist to ever live! He turned our wedding and reception areas into a dreamland. His designs were spectacular, so creative and so...
beautiful! He used candles and lighting to enhance the ambiance, I truly can't tell you how awesome this florist was. I did not have a lot of time to work with him, so gave him carte blanch. He did NOT disappoint, and did not overcharge. My wedding was 160 miles from where I live -I wish he was closer,, as I would have him do all my parties and all my arrangements!;Don't skimp on your flowers or tie your florist's hands ... give them free rein - I was thrilled with my outcome!

The flower arrangements were breathtaking and incredibly artistic! I adored everything, ESPECIALLY my colorful bouquet. He listened to my wishes, and suggested additional flowers ...
that were in season.
