Bask Floral Studio 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Purlear, NC

Hey friends 👋 — my name is Nicole and I’m the owner of Bask Floral Studio which specializes in floral design for weddings and events! At Bask Floral Studio, we combine fine art design, natural elegance, and sustainability to create lavishly layered beautiful works of art through flowers that visually communicate your unique story.

Nicole is an amazing artist! Her flower arrangements were stunning and far exceeded my expectations. Florals was something I didn't feel particularly strong about during wedding planning. However, once I started working with Nicole that changed. Her vision boards helped bring everything to life and I began to get more and more excited. By the time the wedding rolled around I was amazed at how excited I was about the florals and they turned out even better than I was picturing. Her arrangements are gorgeous and very high quality. Her team also did a fantastic job setting up and breaking down and were incredibly professional and efficient. I highly recommend booking Bask Floral Studio and doing her full service package. From start to finish it was fabulous and worth every penny!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Faux Bouquets were great at communicating throughout the entire process! They provided amazing, lifelike floral arrangements that were beautiful in our wedding photos. This was such an easy and convenient service - we simply received the pre-made package, used them for our special day, then packaged them back up to send off. We were thrilled with the quality and value of their work, which truly contributed to making our wedding day perfect.

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 

4.2

  • Starts at $1,100
  • Serves Purlear, 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.

WOOD FLOWERS that last a lifetime. At Pine & Petal Weddings, we believe flowers should endure as long as the memories they celebrate. Our handcrafted sola wood bouquets and décor go beyond fleeting blooms—capturing your story in pieces that last for years. From walking down the aisle to gifting a friend or gathering around the table, our wooden flowers are keepsakes that bring joy, comfort, and timeless beauty to life’s most meaningful moments.

We loved the flowers we received from Pine And Petal Weddings! The flowers were priced about the same as normal flowers I would have ordered (maybe slightly less), but we got to keep these ones. They were shipped on time and got to our house just about a month before the wedding. The flowers on the wedding day still looked like they did when we unpacked them! They did a great job with taking my vision and making it happen with the flower arrangements. The flowers are of great quality too! I wish the communication was a little more clear, but it is just through a messaging platform. If I were to go back and do it over I would absolutely still pick them, but request to have a voice/video call to ensure I knew exactly what to order.

As a bride, choosing your vendors is one the most important decision you will make for your wedding, other than choosing your groom and bridal party. I didn't realize that until I chose Lux Lineage Floral Design. I can not stress enough the importance of the floral arrangements for your wedding or event. It can create the ambience you dream of, or a vibe that is distasteful. Lux Lineage Floral Design, you went OVER AND BEYOND! Not only did this mother-daughter duo exceed my expectations, but they took extra time on the little details. They made certain to take note of every specific idea/request I made, and created a warm, romantic atmosphere that only illuminated me, as the bride. Even when I threw last minute requests or thoughts their way, they took on every challenge. We were in constant communication, and I never felt out of the loop. In the midst of the stress of wedding planning, they were my calm. I can honestly say that I have never seen more beautiful floral arrangements than the ones at my wedding. Lux Lineage Floral Design made my wedding day the most romantic, elegant experience of my life. Thank you both, for your time and all your hard work, Elizabeth and Cinda. I can not imagine my wedding day without you both in it!

We worked together for several years planning events and weddings, so we have a shared love of sparkle, flowers, coffee, and making beautiful memories! We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate our growth as friends, mothers and confidants, than to combine our creativity and passions to create one of a kind items to brighten the days and lives of others. 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.
