Kayla and her team are amazing. From the first contact that we had to the end of a beautiful wedding, Kayla was a calming presence with an incredible attention to detail. Months in advance she visited the church and the reception venue to be able to better plan for the day. As a result, the wedding was perfect. The bouquets far exceeded our expectations and remained fresh throughout the entire event. The table arrangements at the reception as well as the bar and cocktail areas were incredible. We wanted an elegant event with a touch of the low country mixed in and Kayla took our vision and made it a reality. As often happens at a wedding, there were a few unexpected events, Kayla went above and beyond to help make everything seamless and our guests were unaware that anything was amiss. She is a talented floral designer and an amazing person. I couldn't be more confident in my recommendation of Sweet Magnolias Floral and More to make your wedding the special occasion that is should be.

Overall our flowers were BEAUTIFUL and Kayla was very sweet every time we talked. My reason for 4 stars is because of issues getting in touch with Sweet Magnolias, which caused me stress a few times during the planning process. I also am giving 4 stars because like I noticed others saying in previous reviews, there were flowers used in color schemes that we never discussed (orange tulips were used throughout the reception, which was a color not at all in my wedding scheme). I also provided several rattan urns that I wanted to use for reception arrangement vases (on the bar & welcome table), and these were not used either.
I also mentioned on several occasions that I would like a good amount of blue delphiniums (these were in every inspiration pic I sent as well) in my bouquet and in the reception arrangements, but there weren't any at all.
Like I said, the flowers were so beautiful and everyone loved my bouquet, I just wish there was more communication in what the final arrangements were to look like.
Any questions?

Sweet Magnolias did my daughter’s wedding flowers this May and we would highly recommend them! After reaching out to many florists in our area that had ridiculous minimum financial requirements we finally found the mother/daughter team of Tory and Kayla. They were like family from the get go. Great communication. They work within different budgets. They are so honest about product and available flowers in your season. Tory even took special time to pray over my daughter’s bouquet as she was making it and I cannot say how special that is from another mom. When we arrived to the wedding the flowers were even better than we were quoted and had imagined. For us the flowers were important, but it was the relationship, kindness and connection that made this experience that much more special!

I used sweet magnolia for my wedding in Beaufort, SC. The flowers were EXACTLY as I envisioned. I loved my flowers and they were very detailed and had all the dainty flowers that I loved.

I was overall pleased with the service I received from the magnolia team, specifically Kayla. She was very attentive and quick to answer my questions and work with my budget. However, although beautiful, the bouquets for my wedding were not what I envisioned. I had sent a specific color scheme of like a midnight blue and a terracotta. However, my flowers consisted of bright red flowers and regular dark blue flowers that did not quite match my theme in my opinion. They also threw in pink roses which there was no pink in my wedding at all. The boutonnieres were mainly one pink rose which I was a bit upset with. The bouquets were tied together with a mesh very light blue almost white ribbon which I winded up taking off because it looked very odd. I kept the navy blue ribbon on, although again, did not match the blue I was going for even when I sent them my specific color scheme. I wish the company also would send mock up photos to the clients before hand so they know what to expect. Kayla suggested a smaller center piece for the tables to work with my budget, however, they were EXTREMELY small and I did not realize. Even sending me measurements would have been acceptable too. Anything so that I could get a better idea of what I was receiving. The ceremony arch was absolutely beautiful. But all in all, the colors of the flowers themselves were not what I was expecting at all.

Thank you so much for you review! We are so sorry we have fall short of perfection for you...
r wedding.-
I’m going to this opportunity explain some things to our future brides, this is something we go over with you in the first phone chat. But I feel like it would be good to go over again. Nature has completely control over the colors. Pinterest and instagram do us and nature no favors with all the filters. We are very upfront especially with coral/peaches, blues, and terracotta/brown wedding that unless we use artificial we can not guarantee and exact color. We can guarantee color families but not one specific color. But we do our best to pull in all the color and pick the best flowers if quality to match your overall style. Now another factor in this is your budget. Our standard practice is to go off your color palate, what is in season, and what will give you the best impact for your budget. We have started making a design board with our brides. This makes it so we can show the true colors of the flowers you pick and what some of the options are.-
After your wedding we have stopped offering the style of table arrangements to diy brides and brides that budget that are under a specific number. These are expensive and even though the smaller size was still beautiful if it can’t be done in the larger style we won’t offer it. Even though we explain the size and give sizing references, we just feel like if they can’t be done to the bigger sizing the brides will be unhappy. Theses arrangements are expensive and not budget friendly at all. We wish there was a way to make this elegant tall style more available to all size budgets.-
One thing I would like take the time to tell all our future brides when we deliver your bouquet, we have a designer that can make any alterations and changes give it to you. We also have different ribbon in our vehicle incase you decide that what was on the proposal is not not quite what you wanted anymore or if we make a mistake and use a ribbon that is no longer in your vision. To our future brides, please take the time while we are in the room with you to stand up, hold it, look closely at it. Because we are here to help you and have some florals set back to use if we need to alter anything on your bouquet. But we need to know before we leave the room. So please I can’t stress this enough look it over and give us the honest truth about it. We can make any changes there in your room. -we also offer to send you a photo after we make it at our studio.-Please communicate your thoughts, if you do not communicate with us the day of the wedding about your bouquet we can not make it better.-
I hope this helps all our future brides!-
And I am sorry that your wedding feel short of perfect. We truly strive to give our brides the best possible service.

The Sweet Magnolias team made my wedding vision come to life. They were so easy to work with and took all my requests and opinions into consideration when creating the arrangements. I couldn't have imagined more beautiful flowers. Thank you for making my wedding so beautiful!

This team was easy to communicate with and they delivered really beautiful creations. My flowers looked much more expensive than they really were! Sweet Magnolias did a great job bringing my idea for centerpieces to life, and every arrangement they made was really superb.

Kayla made my day extraordinarily special. I wanted the Bird of Paradise in my bouquet and she made it happen. My bride ladies also were able to have this flower in their bouquets. Kayla went above and beyond with communicating through emails, text, and in person. All my guest commented on the beauty of the floral arrangements and bouquets. If you are on the fence for a florist, please do not hesitate. You will not be disappointed. I truly feel I have a friend forever.

I hired Sweet Magnolias for my wedding in Savannah, GA. They did an amazing job and went above and beyond my expectations! Not only we're all of the florals beautiful, but the day before they came to the walkthrough with my coordinator & helped us hang our neon sign on the day of. Their problem solving skills are top-notch - there was a slight mishap of not having enough boutonnieres for our groomsmen, but they resolved it quickly before the event by making more. They are super kind, helpful and want to make sure your day is amazing. I highly recommend!!

I cannot gush enough about Sweet Magnolias. They were a dream to work with. I have never been particularly into flowers and didn't have any specific guidance other than making sure the colors matched the rest of the wedding themes and that I was looking to not spend a whole lot. I was very nervous the day of hoping that I'd done enough for flowers bc i wanted the pictures to look great. They did AMAZING keeping it within the budget. I wasn't sure what exactly to expect and it was better than anything i could have directed them to do. They were also super flexible working with my MOHs since we live in Europe. Great service!

Initially they were great to work with- especially kayla (that’s why there’s actually 2 stars). This is very worth a read: We hired them well in advanced since we were a destination wedding. My mom and I were the ones planning and excited that they offered rental services since we wanted more palms/ferns/greenery with minimal white flowers. Kayla was very sweet and professional during the walk through of the venue… her mother not so much. The mother make comments about some of our non traditional decisions like no boutonnieres, less flowers and overall minimalists style I was going for. We still went forward because the price was good and again Kayla was awesome. Then we got the proposal back (rather quickly) and it was completely wrong. It was way over budget and a ton of additional items we said no to. Luckily this was like 10 months ahead so we were able to contact them- Kayla started the proposal but was busy so the mom finished it and she didn’t realize she submitted it without going over it. We got that figured out but over the next couple months, we tweaked things and there were still mistakes. Finally about 3 months out to finalize things, it was hard to get in contact. My mom had her own things she was adding to help out and she said that it was wrong again. After multiple emails I sent, Kayla finally responded and I had to call. We spent over an hour going through the proposal because of the mistakes but I felt like we were on the right page. Kayla was professional on the phone, she was helpful for me to find exact pictures and I was excited. Then comes my wedding day… the mom shows up but no Kayla. The mom comes in with a bad mood (not sure why) and was irritated that I asked where the ribbon was for the bridesmaids. I look down at my flowers and it was huge with tons of flowers and giant leaves- like double the size then sent on the proposal. I was in shock because there were so many roses (didn’t look like gardens ones) and they were yellow not white. We were looking to go very simplistic. I didn’t say anything yet because I was so confused. (Did I mention they were going to charge $150 for me to see a mock up even though they kept making mistakes on the proposal and refused to show me the exact flower?) The mom leaves in a huff to find the ribbon and everyone is shocked. These things were so huge it was blocking my dress and the girls bouquets looked like what a bride should have. Instead of saying anything I just decided to take things out… but the mom found out and confronted me like 10 minutes before the ceremony. She was very angry to find that I had taken things out. Then I told her this wasn’t what I ordered and where was Kayla? Why wouldn’t they give me a heads up, again this is a good amount of money for their service. She was going to keep going at me but my friends and I were like we have to go. So instead of being professional, she left immediately after the ceremony instead of moving thing from the alter to the reception area and refused to come back. On top of that, none of the additional ferns my mom ordered we placed at our venue. If you do go with them, please make sure to only work with Kayla. Besides a ton of things missing, the tables did looked great- and the bouquets once I took things out. Unfortunately, the mom had a hard time realizing that it was our vision not hers.

Kayla here, I am co-owner, designer, and office manager here at Sweet Magnolias Floral and...
More. This review has taken a lot of thought and most of all we want to thank our bride for her feedback! We always welcome all forms of review. Sadly we can not please every bride and I thank her for giving us this opportunity to explain more about our services.
To our future bride reading this review- We could have had this review removed for several reasons but instead left it for you all and for us to have talking points. Please ask us questions about this review! Our beautiful bride here has bought up amazing talking points about the service that we offer and tend to get overlooked in the chaos of the day. A few of those points we would like to point out now-
Day of your wedding- We are onside 2-5 hours before your wedding and will always have tools and supplies with us to make changes to your bouquet if it is not what you imagine. What we do is an art and we customize everything to match our translation of your vision. Sometimes we are not spot on and we welcome the opportunity to make it exactly what you're looking for... We knew this bride was going to need a little more help than others due to a phone chat we had with the MOB the day before about last-minute changes, finding a new officiant, having to remove tables, and creating a new floor plan/ design, etc... We decided last minute to have our Co-owner, Lead designer and Founder Tory, to do the setup and to be there 5 hours beforehand and stay just in case this bride needed anything or didn't like something. She is our more experienced designer and is the best at solving problems on-site. Plus Tory makes the most stunning bouquets and can do so quickly if our lovely brides don't like their bouquets. Because of the love we had for this bride, we wanted to give her the best service we could and the best designer for her style and situation- Tory.
Staffing choices- We decide on the designer to set up your wedding based off of the needs and experience required for each wedding. You are not buying a person and most likely we will not bug you the night of before your wedding to discuss any changes to the staff for your wedding. Even more so if the MOB asks us not to say anything about any of the changes.
Flower choices- We go over everything in great detail in emails and over the phone. After covid-19 and all the shipping problems, the world is facing every day we do not guarantee flowers until we know for sure that something doesn't kill them and they will arrive in the quality we approve of. We do the best we can with what nature gives us and the color pallet of your choice.
Mockups- We love to do Mockups! However, we do offer them for a fee. We generally do the same as most artists, speak with photos and descriptive words. If this is outside your comfy zone we will gladly make anything for you. We will, however, need to be paid for the flowers which are outside the scope of the contract, need two weeks to get your special ordered flowers and a few days to design them.- Please note, we only work with quality flowers, and it takes time to get them (if they are in season at that time of year).
Comunitcation- We love our brides so much that we like to make sure they are only dealing with two people max during the whole process of your wedding. We are both hands-on in all areas of your wedding and designing. Our spring and fall wedding season does make us slower to respond. We are more of a high-end/ boutique wedding florist with owner contact only. This does create a delay in communication in April- June, and October.
... And finally, the thing that was brushed over in this review...
Dismissal of service- If you tell us to leave the venue, tell us you do not want to see us, and/ or be unkind to any of our staff, we will gladly leave and take all of the items that you rented from us and only leave the things that were bought outright. This bride was very blessed that Tory (co-owner and founder) was the one on this setup. Because no bride, good review, or money is worth our staff being treated poorly, disrespected, talked down to, etc. If I (Kayla) would have been told what our staff had been and treated the way they were... I would have fully used the section of the contract that states- if we are dismissed from the wedding for any reason, all rental items come with us.
I am very proud of Tory and the crew that was with her for leaving the premises waiting until after the ceremony, grabbing the ceremony rental items, and leaving again without the bride seeing them. Not wanting to upset the bride anymore on her wedding day. Also very proud of them for coming back after the reception to pick up the rest of the rentals and plants. Knowing the whole time bride was going to leave a bad review but still wanting to give her the best service they could.
To me as an owner, my crew, family, or otherwise is more important than any bad review or booking of a wedding. We all strive to do the best we can and all of our staff will all be treated like they are the owner of this company and with respect. If this will be a problem for any of our future brides please let us know and we will gladly recommend other florists in our area that's work is comparable to ours. Tory and I work together building every wedding. Very rarely will you see us both at your wedding or even talk to us both. But we both build every wedding from paper to reality together. ALL weddings get approved by both of us at the end of the day.
Thank you for reading this and again please ask us any questions about this review. We could have had this removed but if this is the worst review we have gotten out of hundreds of weddings and events... we will gladly take it. It does truly saddens us that we were unable to give this bride the wedding she wanted. After this whole experience with this bride, we now have a minimum and we require to have a long chat with every bride to gauge if we are a good fit for your wedding. Only under special circumstances will we take one with a budget of her size going forward.
So to all our future brides... Talk to us and we will gladly help you at any time! We are never too busy for you on the day of your wedding. If we look irritated or redish it's mostly because we are hot and/ or have sand in our socks.
Most impotently, we want you to have the wedding of your dreams!
Thank you,
Kayla Norton- CoOwner, Designer, Office Manager.
and
Tory Norton- Founder, CoOwner, Lead Designer, General Manager.

Kayla and Tory went above and beyond for our wedding. They took what I thought were amazing inspiration pictures, and created SPECTACULAR arrangements. From my initial consult with Kayla I was immediately put at ease and felt like she was on the same page with me and understood my vision. They're personable, professional, and an overall pleasure to work with. Can't recommend them enough!

I am an event manager and I try my best to work with vendors who are professional, punctual, communicative, friendly and who do an amazing job at their skill. I have worked several weddings with Sweet Magnolias Floral and More and I'm happy to say they are all of the above - and MORE! It gives me such a good feeling knowing they are on the job! I don't have to worry about a thing!

I ordered 3 bouquets (2 bridesmaids and 1 bride) and a sweetheart table floral arrangement from Sweet Magnolia for my wedding in November.
Kayla was very easy to work with and was extremely attentive to detail! She was even able to accommodate dropping off the bridal bouquets to our Airbnb, rather than the venue!
If I had one critique, it would be that I asked for the bouquets to be primarily hydrangeas, but they arrived with a majority of roses. Nonetheless, they were stunning, but wish there were more hydrangeas.

My husband and I recently celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary with a bow tent and the wedding we never had the first time (court house wedding), and let me just say, this was the wedding of my dreams! If your looking for a gorgeous outdoor venue with a ceremony and reception, look no further! The ceremony took place in front of the pond under the trees. They have a cabin they’re working on for the bride to get ready in that will be amazing. The reception is just a short walk down a candlelit walkway to under a giant mossy oak tree with lights strung under it.
The owner, Tory Norton, is also the florist and she out did herself with my flowers along with her daughter Kayla. They, along with London, her other daughter who is a wedding planner, made my dream come true.
Very romantic, and I’m so glad we did this. Thank you Guys! ❤️
