Joy des Fleurs 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Spencer, NC
  • Offer

I found my love for floral design nine years ago while creating the arrangements for my sister’s second wedding, from the wedding party to the ceremony and reception. That experience inspired me to start my own floral design and events business, Joy des Fleurs, where I’ve had the joy of designing flowers for all kinds of occasions, especially weddings. I’d love to share that joy and creativity with you!

From the moment I met with Carrie at Joy des Fleurs, I knew I was in good hands. She was a thorough and creative communicator, listening closely to my vision for the retirement party flowers and offering thoughtful, beautiful ideas to bring it to life. The flower arrangements she created for our retirement party tables were the perfect complement to the theme, adding a vibrant pop of color that set the tone for the party. Carrie's professionalism and visionary approach made the process seamless, and the end result was breathtaking - the floral designs were creative, thoughtful, and truly elevated the entire celebration. We couldn't have asked for a better florist to be a part of our special day.

Twin Blooms + Traveling Flower Cart 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Serves Spencer, NC

Greetings, my name is Marissa. I am the owner of Twin Blooms traveling flower cart. The inspiration for my business stems from my twin sons. They inspire me every day to be the best version of myself. Therefore, I wanted to create a business that makes people smile while inspiring their creativity. We provide full floral service for wedding and all events.

Awarded Best of Zola
Twin Blooms Traveling Flower Cart provided exceptional floral services for our wedding. Marissa and her team were clear, prompt, authentic, and fair in their pricing and communication throughout the planning process. Their work was truly creative, visionary, and beautiful - they brought my idea for a hydrangea ring around the chandeliers to life in the most stunning way. I gave them minimal direction on the types and colors of flowers, and they delivered vibrant, locally-sourced arrangements and bouquets that perfectly complemented our fall wedding. Florals are such a big expense so it was important to me to spend my dollars with local businesses. As a small, local, woman/wife/mom-owned business, Twin Blooms was exactly the vendor I wanted to support, and I'm so glad I did. My guests raved about the florals, and I was proud to share Marissa's information and recommend her highly. I'm thrilled with the value and quality of service Twin Blooms provided for our special day.

Specializing in luxury weddings and sophisticated corporate events, our approach combines artistry, precision, and a passion for storytelling.

Working with Chris Hodge at Kevin Lear on Main was one of the best parts of our wedding planning process. From our very first meeting, I felt heard. Chris made sure he understood my vision and respected every non-negotiable I had, but he also brought his incredible talent and creativity to the table. I trusted him completely and I’m so glad I did. I have to say, my bouquet was one of the highlights of the entire day. We had talked about adding greenery to help it stand out against my dress, but in the end, we kept it all white and it was perfect. Elegant, soft, and exactly what I didn’t even know I needed. I’m absolutely in love with how it turned out. Chris was not only talented, he was genuinely excited for me throughout the process. That joy, paired with his artistry and care, made every floral element unforgettable. From the bouquets to the arrangements, it was all breathtaking. Just look at the photos! If you’re thinking of working with Chris, do it. He made my day more beautiful than I ever imagined.

Petals by The Oak Ridge Homestead provides memorable, custom event florals for intimate weddings, elopements, and celebrations! I, Elizabeth Smith, co-own The Oak Ridge Homestead with my husband, Andrew. We bring a unique, romantic touch to floral design while thoughtfully working with you to fulfill your vision for the day. We accommodate both the hands-off and do-it-yourself brides, offering both à la carte florals and full service packages. Thank you for considering us to be part of your special moments. We can’t wait to create something beautiful with you.

Elizabeth from Petals was the absolute best to work with!!! I cannot recommend her and her services enough. I’d give 10 stars if I could! As a 2025 bride, I wanted to keep my budget but I still wanted real flowers. I sat down with her and told her my scattered thoughts and showed her some random inspo pics from Pinterest; she took all of those ideas and put them together even better than I could have ever imagined. Months later, I still look back at my wedding photos and drool over how pretty my flowers turned out. All because of Elizabeth! The arbor pieces, bouquets, corsages/boutineers, and flowers for the tables were all just stunning. I’m so glad I chose this company for my wedding day, and I can’t wait to use them again in the future for other events.

Both Becky and Will pulled in favors, put in extra hours, and did whatever they needed to do to make our wedding happen. And amazingly, you never would have known come wedding day. The florals and other decorations were stunning, and the entire day went flawlessly. You never would have guessed that things had been put together on such short notice. It's a testament to how talented they both are, and how much they cared about making our day so special. We can't even begin to thank them enough.

We believe wedding flowers should feel like a living love story. Inspired by nature’s untamed beauty we design with heart, intuition and intention - designing florals that reflect not just your palette, but your personality and your story. We welcome and celebrate couples of all backgrounds, identities, and love stories. Everyone deserves to feel seen, supported and celebrated on their wedding day.

Heirloom Floral is definitely the way to go!!! Their communication was always quick, efficient, and so invested!! I’d pick Tracie and her team a million times over. Everything was stunning and perfect in quality, even with our wedding day being over 90, which meant having to push back their starting time and overall time to decorate. I can’t say enough good things.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.9 (81 reviews)
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Spencer, NC

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend Flower Moxie!!! The flowers were amazing quality and I even had them delivered on time for a wedding three days after Christmas! I received my flowers 5-6 days in advance due to the holiday, and they still held up a few days after the wedding! The customer service was amazing, especially Alexa! She went out of her way to make sure she could help throughout any point of the service. She was very quick to respond and was very kind and sweet to work with! I highly recommend Flower Moxie and Alexa to help you with your flowers for any event! :)

The Faux Bouquets 
Rating: 5.0 (42 reviews)
  • Starts at $175
  • Serves Spencer, NC

Believe it or not, we often have people ask if our pictures throughout our website are showing a mix of fresh and faux and…no they aren’t! Although fresh florals are pretty, we are totally in love with poser-blooms all the way here and that’s what we design 100% of our orders with.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were so delighted to use The Faux Bouquets for our wedding. We ended up having a family emergency that forced us to downsize the size and budget of the wedding just a few months before the wedding, and the team at TFB were so accommodating and helped us to find a solution that still allowed us to use their flowers in our (modified) ceremony. We were a bit concerned about the flowers getting smushed in shipping, but they arrived looking absolutely STUNNING and with plenty of time before the big day. Even my gardener of a grandma couldn't tell they weren't real flowers! We were so happy with how everything looked on the day, and in pictures they look just as lovely. Can't recommend The Faux Bouquets enough! There's no visual difference compared to real bouquets and they are much more affordable. The last big selling point that I would advise future brides, and I did not really consider this, is that because the flowers don't wilt, we could set the decor out the night before--which is a LIFESAVER to not have to worry about on the special day! Anything that will save you time and stress on the day of the wedding is a big win!

I used Carolina Flowers' Wedding & Celebration Shop as more of a DIY approach to the floral decor at my wedding (and as a more budget friendly option) and I could not be more pleased with everything! It was easy to select what I wanted on their website, place the order, and select a delivery window for the morning of my wedding. I provided them with the most minimal guidance, essentially what my wedding colors were, and the bouquets and arrangements they created blew me away. Honestly more beautiful than I could have imagined or requested. The delivery was perfectly on time, to the minute, and they provided guidance on how to keep arrangements looking their best until they were needed. I sent a message with some questions prior to placing my order and Emily was so helpful. The only thing that makes me sad is that I can't keep my beautiful bouquet forever!!
