About this vendor
Poppies and Peonies offers wedding planning/coordinating and floral design in upstate South Carolina and the surrounding areas. Our work also takes us to the North Carolina mountains, north Georgia, and the lower parts of South Carolina. (And we love an adventure, so travel is welcome!) We delight in serving couples by removing the sometimes burdensome planning process (which we actually enjoy!). We also love the hospitality, caring for people, and problem-solving aspects of wedding coordinating. And a hallmark of our business is natural and artful floral design, which was actually our very first business offering and the component that we have used to grow us toward event planning and coordinating. Bringing beauty and joy to your event is our great pleasure, and we offer complete floral services, from enchanting bridal bouquets to lavish installations.
We have amazing teams in place for each of our different offerings. Whether serving in planning, coordinating, or floral design, each team member brings joy and beauty to their work. They join us in our efforts because of their love for and enjoyment of what we do, and it shows in the finished product of your very special wedding day. Our reviews speak to the love that we bring to serving our clients, and, thankfully, we are known for our attention to detail and careful guiding of each event, as well as our attentive care for the wedding couple and family throughout the process.
In our floral design, we take great joy in giving careful attention to the design process and to each detail of the finished product. We work creatively with you to maximize the use of your budget and to repurpose floral items from ceremony to reception. We believe that approach to be a crucial part of being good stewards not only of your budget, but also of the beauty of floral creations. When able, we use locally sourced, seasonal flowers and natural elements that enhance the floral beauty. We also strive to give each flower its spot in the design, working with loose and flowing approaches when appropriate to the bride's vision.
We would love for you to schedule an initial phone call with us to discuss your wedding hopes and needs. We are mindful to approach our work with YOU in mind, being attentive to how we can best serve your unique plans, budget, and wedding weekend dreams.
Our desire is to bring grace to your journey and event. We would love to serve you!

Using Poppies and Peonies was the best decision I made. I used them for both florals and coordination. For florals- they blew me away. They made my bouquet vision come to life and ...
exceed my expectations! I am still in love with how all the florals turned out!
For coordination - I admit, I was hesitant to spend the money for coordination… I really thought I could save money and do it all myself or use family to help. However, I was very wrong! The coordination meetings I had leading up to the wedding were so valuable, because I had their guidance and reminders of little details and things that I would have never thought of on my own. The day of the wedding was where I really saw Poppies and Peonies shine: they took charge, took most of the stress from me and my mom, and solved problems so we didn’t have to. As a bride who got overwhelmed and a bit teary in the middle of the day- Whitney’s team came to my aid and helped me calm down and focus on what mattered. They’re calming, peaceful presence as well as their directness and decision-making were worth every penny and more! I am so grateful to have worked with them and would highly recommend them!
Whitney and Sherri were truly a dream to work with. From the very beginning, they were so sweet, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day everything we hoped it...
would be. They handled every little detail with such care, even the ones I didn’t think to plan for, so that I never had to worry about a thing. What touched me most were the small, meaningful gestures, like gently reminding me to drink water throughout the day, that showed how much they truly cared about me, not just the event. Their warmth, kindness, and calming presence allowed us to soak in every moment and fully enjoy our day. I am forever grateful for all they did and couldn’t recommend them more highly.

They used lots of greenery in the ceremony space and chose flowers that were in season to help make it affordable and fitting for a Spring wedding! Mrs. Whitney discussed all the details with me to ensure I felt comfortable with everything and I was so grateful for her expertise—I almost cried when she brought out my bouquet for pictures!
