....we had heard from sooo many people how talented carolyn shepard was....everyone said, "oh...she is unbelievable"...and her creations were just that....just gorgeous...she listened to what we wanted and she nailed it!!...our final meeting, just prior to the wedding, was for her to make sure she knew exactly what we wanted....I don't think all florists do that....i feel the price was very much in line with the quality and professionalism that we received....i would recommend her to everyone!!!!

I really enjoyed working with Carolyn Shepard Design Group! From the very beginning they were involved with every aspect of the flowers and decor for the wedding. There was always someone available that I could call or email with questions. I loved all of their ideas and it was great that I could rent items from them, rather than being stuck with a whole bunch of glass containers that I would never use again. All the arrangements turned out beautiful...I even got compliments from the groomsmen. I would definitley recommend them to future brides!

When I started planning my wedding which was set for September 24, 2011 at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Charlotte, NC I had no idea what I was about to experience when I signed my contract to work with Carolyn Shepard Design Group. Carolyn and I hit it off from the beginning because I was a bride on a mission and knew what I wanted to see and also feel on the day of my wedding. To my surprise Carolyn Shepard Design Group totally SURPASSED all of my dreams, goals and expectations! My wedding was more than beautiful, it was completely over the top David Tutera style on a platinum level. Do not make the mistake of thinking that you cannot afford to hire Carolyn Shepard because of your budget. She can and is willing to work with any type of budget that you may have. To give you an example of my wedding day...right before I got ready for the doors to open for me to walk down the isle, they took me through my reception so that I could see it. I completely lost it and started crying uncontrollably because it was the most beautiful reception I had ever seen...in person anyway...LOL. All my dreams came true in that one moment and the nice thing about it was Carolyn and Christie were both there to share that moment with me. I may grow old, but I will never forget what Carolyn Shepard Design Group did for me. Let me leave you with this, if you truly want to experience what I have described for you, call Carolyn Shepard Design Group and let them help you to achieve your dream wedding day.

Sincerely,

Carolyn Shepard Design Group did an amazing job on our decor and flowers. Being that I know very little about flowers she did a great job of helping me come up with ideas for centerpieces and other decor. We have gotten so many compliments about how amazing our wedding looked and they said it's the classiest wedding they've ever been to!

Working with Carolyn Shepard and her team was an absolute dream! Beginning with our first meeting, we discussed the overall "feel" my fiance and I wanted to create at our reception, and I was immediately met with Carolyn's cheerful warmth and incredible creativity! With her unparalleled experience in creating amazing wedding designs, we greatly appreciated the advice and recommendations she offered each step of the way - especially, the thoughtful, memorable elements she incorporated into our centerpieces to not only help us to achieve our "look" but meet our budget needs. Her floral designs were stunning, and completely transformed a very open, modern-looking, Uptown hotel space into our glowing, "vintage-y" wedding dream! Carolyn's spirit and remarkable gift for event design made each stage of the planning process feel easy and personalized to our needs. Six months after our wedding, family and friends continue to remark upon the unique, beautiful atmosphere Carolyn and her team created for us! She is truly an artist! - Erin B.

I had heard about Carolyn Shephard and the superior service she provides but also some had said she was expensive. From the moment we first met ,she reiterated that she would work with us and our budget. Carolyn exceeded every expectation providing a phenominal product . She handled every detail just as she said she would. I cannot say enough about how happy we are that we chose Carolyn to do the flowers. You won't be disappointed!

Carolyn is AMAZING! We were so glad that we hired her for our wedding and everything looked more beautiful than we could have imagined!

Carolyn Shepard Design Group provided the flowers for my wedding in Charlotte in October of 2010. I was so pleased with the level of attention and professionalism at every stage of the process. I appreciated their advice, level of attention to detail and preciseness. I was so very, very pleased with the flowers for our wedding. The colors were just exactly what we wanted and added such beauty to the wedding. Surely CSDG is the top florist in Charlotte and I recommend them without reservation. Top notch!!

Carolyn and Christie were both a delight to work with. Most of our communication was via email, as I was an out of town bride. During my trips to Charlotte when I did visit with Carolyn, I especially appreciated the relaxed atmosphere of the design studio. I was able to walk in, tell her exactly what I wanted- change my mind a few times, and leave knowing that she understood the look that I wanted for my wedding. They listened to me, worked with my budget and made my wedding day even mmore beautiful with the flowers and decor.

Carolyn is amazing. Best decor/flowers in Charlotte. She is worth every penny! If you want something to "wow" your guests - Carolyn can make that happen.

She is also incredibly knowledgable and will tell you what will work and wont. Trust her! She knows exactly what she is talking about!! However, she listens and gives you exactly what you want - OR BETTER!

Cannot say enough about how amazing her work is!!!

She works with your budget so that she can give you her best effort and has a genuine passion for making peoples dreams come true through her designs. Highly recommended.

Carolyn Shepard is truly an expert event designer. She went above and beyond our expectations for our wedding. She is an expert from the linens, to the flowers, to the entire event decor. She is a master at making all the elements of the event come together. I would highly recommend Carolyn and her teams services.
