First Bloom of Charleston

Flowers were gorgeous! Centerpieces were perfect and everything she provided was just as I wanted. Had some problems connecting when we first started making arrangements but as the big day got close she always reposnded quickly.

Debi brought my vision of what I wanted in wedding florals, which I often went back and forth on and had a hard time explaining, to life and far exceeded my expectations. She was always so patient with me when I changed my mind numerous times and kept prices exactly where they needed to be. I would recommend Debi and First Bloom to anyone looking for an amazing florist with prices that aren't ridiculously high!

AMAZING FLOWERS! Works within your budget, responds to questions and concerns, wonderful person to work with. I had no idea what flowers I wanted so I sent Debi pictures from pinterest. She some how took every picture and turned it in to something unique and beautiful! I had to add some last minute flowers and she was able to get those in time for me. My center piece bowls broke when I shipped them so I couldn't give them to her until the day before the wedding! Debi planned to make the arrangements separately but I was so worried so Debi offered to pick them up the day before if it would make be feel better. You can't find this personal service anywhere! I put my faith in her and she was able to make the arrangements in different bowls and transport them the day of and they were amazing!! Because this was a destination and I planned leaving for my honeymoon right away I couldn't take my flowers home and I was actually upset because I loved them so much!

My flowers ended up being one of my favorite parts of the wedding. She is amazing and did things I didn't even know could be done with flowers! 110% Recommend!

I have to thank Debi for making our wedding day beautiful (and stress free!) She was wonderful to work with. I heard so many compliments about our centerpieces and overall decor. The bouquet and bridesmaids bouquets came out perfect. They truly looked amazing.

It was a pleasure working with First...

Absolutely beautiful flower displays, unity candle, bouquets and boutonnieres for our wedding.

First Bloom exceeded our expectations and just has a wonderfully creative eye and spirit. They used our online inspiration photos to create the most beautiful arrangements I could imagine.

They helped me surprise my groom with a little addition to his boutonniere during our ceremony, made special flowers for my parent's memorial candles and bears and made the MOST AWESOME flower arrangement for UNDER our Cake on the cake table we could ever imagine.

top notch and highly recommended.

At the beginning of my planning, I did not care at all about flowers. I knew a few I did not like, but didn't have a clear idea of what I did like. I met with two vendors that came recommended to me based on my budget. The other vendor showed me what she'd done for other brides and didn't really seem to care what I really wanted. When I met with Debi, I brought at least a dozen magazines with random ideas for her, and she very quickly figured out what I didn't even know I was asking! We went through a box of flower pictures she had; I said yay or nay, and let her creative mind do the rest! In the end, my flowers were better than I could have imagined.

First Bloom provided the flowers for my Charleston wedding, and they were spectacular! I had a peacock theme and the team was able to bring feathers and many textures into every arrangement that made such an amazing overall look.

Everyone commented on how beautiful the arrangements were, and most importantly, we did not have to spend a fortune!! First bloom was extremely pleasant to work with, and met all of my requests quickly.

Highly recommend!

Debi from First Bloom was super easy to work with! I planned my wedding from out of state and she was able to confirm everything with me over email, which made it very easy for me! She was very responsive and helpful. I gave her a general idea of what I wanted and she made great suggestions - my bouquet was absolutely gorgeous!

My daughter was having her wedding at the beach at Isle of Palms. I was very nervous working with a florist just by emails. I looked online and was so impressed with Debi and First Blooms webpage that it was an easy decision. Debi was absolutely great to work with. She always was very fast in responding to my questions. She did a great job with the flowers. Exactly what we wanted! Thanks Debi, you are the best!

Debi is so easy to work with! We only met once in person to discuss flowers and pick out some choices. We communicated mostly by email and phone to plan out the details of my arrangements. She tapped in to exactly what i was thinking and created beautiful arrangements that added such elegance to my wedding reception and ceremony. I could not be happier! I was really concerned about the cost of flowers and was not looking to spend a fortune, but Debi worked with my budget to create arrangements that were affordable for me... and you would never guess that by looking at them (very full and colorful). Absolutely amazing. =)

Debi with First Bloom of Charleston was absolutely amazing to work with! Our flowers turned out beautiful! We were only able to meet with Debi one time beofre our wedding as we were planning out of town. She was so sweet and accommodating, and really worked with me over email. The colors in our bouquets were stunning, and the alter arrangements, boutonnieres and corsages were beautiful. I would definitely recommend First Bloom of Charleston!

Debi is amazing at what she does. All of my flowers were beautiful and I couldn't have asked for anything any better. I showed her a layout I liked for the centerpieces and the flower colors and let her choose the flower types and I couldn't have been more pleased. It all looked amazing and of course smelled amazing. I will definitely recommend Debi to other brides.

I LOVE First Bloom of Charleston and Debi! I couldn't have asked for a better florist for my wedding. I was not a super picky bride and had trouble at times deciding what would look the best- it's one thing to have a florist who can put together what you want but it's an added value when you have a florist who not only puts together exactly what you want but who also understands where you're trying to go with a vision and knows EXACTLY how to make it perfect for you. If I started coming up with an idea Debi always had the perfect solution. She was professional, fun, creative and just a pleasure to work with- not to mention her flowers are GORGEOUS!! I can't tell you how many compliments I received on the flowers at my wedding. I definitely recommend First Bloom of Charleston to everyone I know :)

Debi, with First Bloom of Charleston, did such an amazing job on my wedding flowers, that I could not be happier! With my VERY limited knowledge of flowers, Debi was able to put my vision of my flowers, a beautiful reality! Simply stunning! This lady knows her flowers and knows exactly what to do with them! All of out guests could not believe how beautiful everything looked and how much the shelter was transformed into something out of this world! (our wedding was held at the Pelican Watch Shelter on Folly Beach)

Debi, thank you so much for...

Debi at First Bloom took the time to meet with me to explain all the possibilities for my wedding day flowers. She was patient and provided exceptional service before and during my wedding day. The flowers she made for my bouquet and reception were exquisite and absolutely perfect! She has a natural "eye" and green thumb for flowers and takes great care in providing only the best service to her brides!

Debi was wonderful to work with- she took my ideas and tweaked them to make my pink, cherry blossom and Japanese-themed wedding a reality. She was flexible and tried hard to work within my budget. My bouquet was the bouquet of my dreams and I was so in love with it.

WOW! I can't wait to get back all the pictures, just so I can re-live how beautiful the flowers were! I was asked by 15 people at my wedding; "who on earth is your florist?!" I am a professional wedding planner and I can't remember the last time I was asked that in my line of work... our flowers were so beyond what we expected that they put the gardens around us to shame :) Debi was given a budget and she stuck right to it, which is amazing! She went above and beyond creating table scapes and new fun ideas for flower placements. Our cake table will forever be remembered as the most beautiful focal point. I can't wait to show pictures to everyone! Debi is amazing and I would recommend here to absolutely every bride! Thank you so much for an unbelievable job!

We had a destination wedding in Charleston so I was unfamiliar with florists in the area. Debi was fanastic to deal with! I had sent her a picture of the flowers I liked and she matched them perfectly and was very understanding when I asked for changes. Since she had done weddings at our location previously she provided me with some great ideas. Having never purchased flowers for a wedding before I had no idea what price to expect and kinda just had a number in my head. Without her knowing what it was she came in right at the number. The flowers were beautiful and I received several comments on them!! I would definitely recommend Debi to anyone having a wedding in the Charleston area.

Debi with First Bloom of Charleston was absolutely wonderful. She did the flowers for our October 8 wedding. She really listened to what I wanted and did an incredible job making my vision a reality. She is extremely talented and creative, and her prices were extremely reasonable. Our bouquets were gorgeous, and our jaws dropped when we walked into our reception venue and saw the beautiful flowers she decorated with. She even made a cascading "waterfall" down our cake using dahlias, roses, and other flowers that were left over after she finished decorating the centerpieces. She went way over and beyond to make our day beautiful and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone wanting gorgeous floral decor for their special event!

Our daughter's wedding was in Charleston and Debi from First Bloom of Charleston was so good. From our first meeting with us, she worked so hard to really "get" what my daughter wanted. This was a destination wedding with the bride and groom in Texas and the parents in NC and Boston, Mass.
The church was done exactly as we wanted and then Debi transported all the flowers to the reception and we were able to reuse everything and then add to it. There were so many comments on how beautiful everything was.
Thanks so much to Debi for all her hard work. We appreciated it so much.

I was an out of town bride planning my wedding in Charleston, SC. Debi was easy to meet with when I was in town to discuss my floral needs. She was very sensitive to my style and put together a wonderful product. I was happy with the work that she did and would highly recommend her.

First Bloom was a blessing. After an unpleasant experience with a previous florist... First Bloom was a dream to work with, especially since I was a destination bride. Debi, from First Bloom, listened to my vision and my budget... she guided me through my options based on my budget and developed inspiration boards that she sent via email, since we never actually met in person til the wedding day. I was so impressed on the day of my wedding and loved the way she created a "southern chic" atmosphere at the reception with flowers and other arrangements. I can not sing her praises loud enough... don't think twice book First Bloom of Charleston now!! Thank you, Debi. M. and B. Smith

Debi was amazing!!! My flowers were perfect.:) I showed Debi pictures of flowers that I liked & she was able to make my vision come to life; she was very helpful in making suggestions & putting together gorgeous creations that everyone loved. I couldn't have been happier choosing First Bloom to do my wedding!

Debi was amazing to work with!! She dealt with my wedding on such short notice, and didn't hesitate to pull out all the stops in making my bridal bouquet and reception centerpieces look absolutely beautiful!! I had given Debi a picture of a bridal bouquet I liked, and she made my bouquet look EXACTLY like the picture! It was beyond perfect!! All of the flowers she used were fresh, and my bouquet is still sitting on my dining room table, nearly three weeks after my wedding! :-)

Debi created my bouquet and boutonnieres for our wedding that took place in June 2011. From our initial face-to-face meeting, to our email correspondence, to the wedding day when she hand-delivered our flowers, she was a pleasure to work with. Her work was stunning and of good quality.

Debi, what an amazing job you did with the flowers!! I loved them and even Mike (my hubby), who as you know had nothing to do with them, was super impressed. He just would not stop talking about how nice they looked. Really you went above and beyond expectations!! The ceremony vases were so nice with the daisy's attached on to the branches. You showed me the sketch but they really did not do the actual arrangement justice! I appreciate all your help and will send you pictures as soon as Evan is done with them and make sure I spread the word about how easy and wonderful it was to work with you. Guests would not stop talking about the flowers all night long. Thanks again,
Kirsten and Mike

Debi was wonderful and great at working within an established budget while providing an excellent product!

Debi at First Bloom did all the flowers for our April wedding. I don’t know much about flowers or coordinating events, and did not hire a planner to help with the wedding. Debi worked with me to come up with a concept that was right up my alley (was even patient as I changed my mind 5 times on what direction I wanted to go!). She delivered and set up all the arrangements (ceremony, tablescapes, etc.) and returned for cleanup. She even brought some extra flowers and improvised the day of to really make the concept come together. Everything turned out better than I could have hoped. First Bloom is easy to work with, flexible within my budget and I highly recommend them.

Debi had so many creative ideas and was able to create exactly what I was envisioning! And she made it all happen within my budget! My bouquet was amazing and the flowers on the cake turned out beautiful! Even my groom noticed! I would recommend Debi to anyone-- she truly loves what she does and it shows in her flowers!

I cannot tell you how much my mom & I appreciated Debi's help & vision with the flowers for my wedding. She truly was a life-saver! She was able to take our ideas and make them a reality, even with a budget! My wedding was out of town, and Debi was willing to accommodate us in any way she could. The flowers for the wedding turned out even better than I could imagine--I cannot tell you how pleased we were with her services :)

First Bloom of Charleston was amazing! About a month before my wedding I decided to change my florist and my mother-in-law had seen some of your work and loved it so we contacted you. With only about a month in a half before my wedding, we only had a little bit of time to make everything perfect, and when the wedding day came up and I saw everything you had done I was so amazed and happy. Everything was perfect and exactly what I wanted. You were so easy to talk to, I just explained how I wanted everything to be and you took my words and made it happen. I would recommend you to any bride in Charleston! Thank you for making my wedding day beautiful!

Thank you Debi I had my bouquets made in a very short limited time and you were wonderful :) Thanxx again

Debi was an amazing florist! I would not changea thing about the beautiful flowers she did for my wedding and reception! She listened t everything I wantedand had amazing ideas on top of all that!! I would reccomend her to my closest friends and family! A+++

Debi was absolutely FABULOUS!! She came to my house and to the reception/wedding sites multiple times to go over plans for the flowers with me whenever I needed her to. She understood my vision perfectly and was incredibly friendly and easy to work with. She had wonderful ideas and unlimited options for me to choose from. She even brought samples of flowers and vases for me to look at so I could visualize the arrangements better! The altar arrangements, centerpieces, BM bouquets, my bouquet and every arrangement she made were GORGEOUS!! My wedding guests were blown away by how amazing the flowers and centerpieces were. I'm still getting compliments 2 months later! I found the only store in South Carolina that presses flowers instead of freeze drying them to press my bouquet into a piece of framed art because I loved it so much!! Debi went above and beyond my expectations and I would recommend her to ANY AND EVERY BRIDE!!

First Bloom of Charleston ended up being my florist when my original florist canceled. Debi was super professional and flexible even on short notice. We didn't have much time to plan but she was able to find all the flowers I liked and wanted for the bouquets quick and priced reasonably. I highly recommend First Bloom of Charleston for your wedding or event!

Debi was awesome and our flowers were amazing!

Debi is fabulous! She did a wonderful job on the flowers for my destination wedding and I recommend her to everyone I know getting married! :)

We always look forward to seeing the beautiful floral creations from Debi at First Bloom. Flowers play such an important role for setting the theme and mood of a wedding day and we love taking photos of her designs!

One of our favorites!!

First Bloom of Charleston is a first class florist. Debi has a terrific eye for decor and is very knowledgeable with her craft. I would recommend her and her floral services time again.

Stunning Creations in Floral Heaven! Debi is professional and hard working to make your day VERY special!

Keep up the great wook. I look forward to working with you this year!

I had the privilege of working with Debi of First Bloom recently at a wedding held at the historic Rice Mill downtown. The floral arrangements were beautiful and complemented well the waterfront venue. I was particularly impressed with her friendly demeanor as she held the door and greeted me as I was loading equipment in to the venue. I would highly recommend First Bloom to any of my clients as they place a great deal of importance on kindness and professionalism in addition to performing a beautiful job at designing floral arrangements!

Ever since I was introduced to First Bloom of charleston, I've been hooked on their flowers. I highly recommend Debi to anyone looking for quality florals, exquisite colors, and professional service. The unique bouquets and intricate details to even the most simple flower makes each wedding more beautiful than the next. Debi is never on time, she's always early! I never have to worry about contacting this vendor and I always have the utmost faith in her abilities. I look forward to working with First Bloom over and over again in the future! Thank you so much!
