Asheville Wedding Florists

What can set the scene for a celebration as well as flowers?

Capturing a wedding day includes the details - the thoughtful bits that set the tone for your excited guests. As a wedding photographer here in Asheville, I've had the privilege of working with amazing couples and their ah-mazing vendors. I love capturing the beautiful bouquets, romantic table settings and creative boutonnieres that make my couples feel loved and celebrated.

Each couple I work with receives a full vendor recommendation list from me (musicians, makeup pros, officiants, coordinators and more). Today, I’m sharing a glimpse of that list with Asheville florists!

What makes a great florist?

It’s more than just sourcing flowers! A great florist understands the unique needs for wedding flowers! There’s a particular timeline for a once-in-a-lifetime-event that only a pro can understand.

Speaking of timelines, a real pro understands how important it is to get the job done well and timely on the day of the wedding - hopefully with minutes to spare so the photographer has time to capture it all!

The professionals I’ve recommended below consistently show up on time, delight the couple and work well with the team of vendors.
