Bloom Culture: Do-it-yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.9

  • Serves Pembroke, NC

Bloom Culture helps couples DIY their wedding flowers with confidence — even if you’ve never arranged flowers before. We ship wholesale flowers to your door and provide a full plan that shows you what to order, how much you need, and how to put everything together. You’ll know exactly how many stems go into each bouquet, centerpiece, boutonniere — and how to assemble them step-by-step. Choose one of our DIY flower kits or get a custom plan based on your colors, style, and budget.

Awarded Best of Zola
The flowers (on our order) came in large boxes, but they were not labeled, so it took a minute to get the flowers both identified and properly set up. To be fair we were warned about the process, but not about the length of time due to our inexperience. As a note, it took my fiancé 5 hours to process the flowers when first receiving them. I also did not have any updates from them from the time I ordered till they were being shipped. They were beyond more affordable compared to other florists, and the flowers arrived alive and in good spirits. We were able to keep the flowers alive for over four days!! Many of the flowers that we chose did not have specific instructions, so we had to follow the general reference for the flowers and hope for the best. Additionally, some of the flowers that we wanted were not in stock, and they were replaced for us with substitutes but were not notified until we had all of the flowers already delivered to us. Also, as a note, bloom culture uses third party sellers for their flowers, so the quality may vary depending on location. Our flowers were in good condition, and the company we had clearly took good care of the flowers prior to delivering them to us. Would we do it again? Probably not, but it made for good laughs and bonding time and we have stories to tell from it!

Awarded Best of Zola
I had a wonderful experience working with the team at Pick A Bloom-Preserved & Dried Florist. They were easy to communicate with and listened exceptionally well to my unique needs after my mom passed away. The quality of their work and attention to small details was lovely. They created a special memorial for my mom by turning her corsage into an ornament that we could display at the wedding. The team sent photos throughout the creation process and everything arrived early, which helped make our special day run smoothly. I'm so grateful for their thoughtful service and beautiful florals.

Rainey Day Bouquets 

4.1

  • Starts at $1,100
  • Serves Pembroke, NC

As I prepare for my own wedding in April of next year, I was taken aback by the exorbitant costs associated with floral arrangements. Quotes ranging from $6,000 to $7,000, with a minimum commitment of $4,000, were simply unfeasible for me. This led me to explore alternative solutions, and I discovered a passion for creating my own florals. I was delighted to find that I had a knack for it! This experience sparked the idea to launch my faux floral rental business, driven by the belief that beautiful wedding florals shouldn't come with an astronomical price tag. My goal is to make stunning arrangements accessible to all.

Awarded Best of Zola
While I didn’t use her for a wedding — I most certainly will once I get married! Morgan’s floral arrangements are so well done that I asked to purchase some to decorate my home. Her customer service and attention to detail is out of this world. 10/10 recommend.

Finding my passion for floral design completely changed my life for the better. It is the art form I was always searching for. To be able to do this for others and be a part of their special day in such a beautiful way is truly a dream come true. Every detail is important to me, from the color palette and the vessels to the candle stick holders used. I am here to help bring your vision to life, and am happy to creatively steer the ship whenever needed.

I love flowers but didn't feel like I had a super clear vision for exactly what I wanted for my wedding except for color scheme and where they'd be placed. Alex made the most incredible arrangements that were breathtaking! She somehow knew exactly what I wanted even more than I did and was super easy to work with. Her a la carte option made it really flexible for my budget and needs and I cannot stop thinking about the florals!!

Sheila was absolutely amazing as our day-of coordinator and florist, and Carlos was such a great help too. From the start, Sheila helped us so much with visualizing how all the decorations should come together and made sure everything looked exactly how we envisioned.

She kept everything organized and running on schedule, helped us stay on top of the details, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the day.

Thank you both for making our day so beautiful and stress-free. — Chris and Nora

Elizabeth and Cinda were an amazing team to work with! I was able to reach Elizabeth by email, set up in person meetings to talk about flowers and able to communicate with them directly on my wedding day. I chose the ‘Brunch & Blooms’ package, where a group of my favorite ladies came together I create my flowers. We were given step by step instructions on how to make the corsages, boutonnieres, bouquets and centerpieces. Before the big day, they go through all the flowers to ensure they look somewhat uniform and ready to be displayed. The memories I have from our Brunch & Blooms are some of my favorite from the wedding weekend! I also decided to donate my flowers to an assisted living home, where Elizabeth dropped the flowers off and sent pictures to me as well.

Our business, our products, and our partnership is all about balance, Contessa is the Sarcasm, Danielle is the Sunshine. Some days, we switch roles, but we think life is better with both!

Having my wedding flowers preserved was extremely important to me. To be able to keep something perfectly preserved that was so beautiful on my special day is unreal. Danielle is the kindest and easiest person to work with. She gets back to you within seconds and listens to any and every crazy request I had. Along with a tray, wine stopper, ornament, and book mark, Danielle was able to take part of my Mother’s wedding dress (that was wrapped around my bouquet) and preserve it in a jewelry box with my flowers. Let me tell you, the reaction my mom had on her face when I gave her that jewelry box was indescribable. If you are ever second guessing preserving your wedding flowers, this is your sign to do it. You won’t regret it! Sarcasm and Sunshine’s work is impeccable and I hope that others are able to have their flowers preserved with such care and precision as I was able to have mine.
