Spring (March–May): peonies, ranunculus, garden roses, tulips. Summer (June–August): sunflowers, dahlias, zinnias, hydrangeas. Fall (September–November): dahlias, marigolds, chrysanthemums, garden roses again. Charleston-specific botanicals like magnolia leaves, Spanish moss, and palmetto fronds are available year-round and add a distinctly local character.

Yes.several Charleston florists work with local farms in the SC Lowcountry and partner with regional growers for seasonal varieties. If locally-sourced florals matter to you, ask florists about their sourcing practices. Charleston's growing season supports many varieties from spring through fall, though some blooms will always be imported.

Bring your venue photos (especially ceiling heights and natural light), your color palette or inspiration images, your guest count, the number of bridesmaids and groomsmen, and a rough floral budget. A good Charleston florist will walk you through how far that budget goes and where to prioritize: ceremony backdrop vs. reception centerpieces is usually the biggest decision.

Most full-service Charleston wedding florists include delivery, setup, and end-of-night breakdown in their packages, though some charge separately for late-night strikes. Confirm this in your contract, especially for plantation venues with strict vendor schedules or remote beach ceremony locations.
