I have always loved weddings. My earliest memories consist of creating weddings for my dolls and stuffed animals. I love flowers. They're beautiful, unique, fun, whimsical... any adjective it can be. Each flower is so unique and has a story to tell just like each person. They're present for some of the most important moments of our lives and a beautiful reminder to savor the moment. Petrichor Floral Design's desire is to create your floral vision for any and all of these special moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
Petrichor Floral Design was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! From the very first interaction, Michelle's communication was clear, responsive to our needs, and highly organized. She listened closely to our vision for an elegant but vibrant color palette and brought it to life with beautiful, whimsical floral designs that were even better than the inspiration photos I shared from Pinterest! We were in a bind 6 weeks before our wedding, planning from out-of-state and frantically searching for a new florist after being ghosted by someone who pocketed our deposit. I am SO happy that we found Michelle at Petrichor. She was sympathetic to our situation and quick to pull together a fresh floral plan that fit our timeline and remaining budget. Her advice helped us choose high-impact arrangements, and we never felt coerced to spend more than we wanted on flowers we didn't need. The end result was stunning - our guests (and folks online) are still raving about the flowers two months later! Michelle's creative vision, affordable pricing, and dedication to making our floral arrangements feel as fun and beautiful as our relationship made her a gem to work with. I can't recommend Petrichor Floral Design enough - if you're planning a wedding in the Columbia, SC area, you need to book with Petrichor TODAY.

Hi, I'm Shanté! My love story with photography began at an early age - Around 7 or 8, I began collecting old pictures of my family, many taken before I was even born. I loved hearing the background story behind each polaroid, featuring beloved members of my family, some of which I never got the pleasure to meet. I was mesmerized by the fact that a single image could be so meaningful, so precious, and so nostalgic. As cliché as it is, it's absolutely true - a picture really is worth a thousand words. ​ It gives me much pride to capture authentic love stories for those who believe that the greatest of these is love. ​ -Shanté

I had the privilege of working with Pam at The Gin on 391. As a wedding planner, the venue could not be more perfect. From the moment we stepped into the indoor chapel, we were captivated by its timeless beauty. The high ceilings with chandeliers, created the perfect ceremony backdrop. The seating arrangement ensured that every guest had a clear view of the ceremony, ensuring that no detail was missed. The acoustics of the ceremony and reception were exceptional, allowing every word of the vows to be heard and the reception. The spacious layout of the reception offered ample room for guests to mingle, dance, and enjoy the festivities. The attention to detail was evident! The convenience of having both indoor spaces not only added to the ease of planning but also maintained a sense of continuity throughout the celebration. Guests were able to move effortlessly from the ceremony to the reception, without any disruptions, allowing for a smooth and uninterrupted experience. The staff (Pam & Bret) at the venue deserve special mention for their exceptional service. From the initial planning stages to the day of the wedding, their professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine care for our needs were evident. They worked closely with us to understand our vision and executed it flawlessly, ensuring that our wedding day was nothing short of perfect. In conclusion, I cannot recommend this wedding venue enough!

Bonnie Brunt Cakes was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! From the very first conversation, their communication style was great - they were responsive, professional, and really listened to our vision for the cakes. The quality of their work was excellent, and both the vintage-inspired wedding cake and the hunting-themed groom's cake were not only beautiful, but delicious as well. We received so many compliments from our guests on how amazing both cakes. Bonnie Brunt Cakes went above and beyond to ensure the cakes were perfect for our special day. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for an exceptional cake experience!
