I was NOT a bride that cared about flowers at all. I was determined to DIY the centerpieces using grocery store flowers and putting my bridesmaids to work. When the bridesmaids vetoed this suggestion (ha!), I sent out a few inquires to florists and got some truly wackadoodle responses. My (admittedly unrealistically low) budget was scoffed at, some even stopped talking to me all together as soon as we talked numbers, others sent pictures of their work that looked like something even I could put together, and this was STILL hundreds of dollars more than I wanted to spend. I found Bliss n Bloom through my photographer's list of recommended vendors, filled out her questionnaire and got a very quick response. She sent me a few pictures and my "I don't care about flowers" mantra instantly went out the window. They were the most stunning arrangements I'd ever seen. The ceremony arch was like something out of a dream. I did spend more than I originally planned (this is not a criticism of her, I just had no idea how much flowers cost!!) but it was so beyond worth it, her fees are very reasonable for what you get. I barely gave her any instructions because I know less than nothing about flowers, just told her what our colors were and a little about our vision and sent a few pictures, she did the rest. My father watched the team put up the ceremony arch at the venue and said they worked for hours on it. When I show people pictures of the wedding, the first thing they comment on are the flowers (one verbatim comment: "those flowers are INSANE," said in the best possible way). The only negative about this is people are complimenting the flowers before they compliment me, the BRIDE!! But I can get over that.

Working with Kwan was an awesome experience from start to finish. Thank you so much for making my wedding so special. Sincerely, a Bride Who *Thought* She Didn't Care About Flowers (but actually really did!)

Kwan was an absolute dream to work with. She is sooo kind and so thoughtful. She met with us a month or so before the wedding and got to know us and what we were looking for in our wedding florals. She gave fantastic suggestions and put together gorgeous floral arrangements. She ran through so many different types of flowers until we found the ones we loved most. But she also came to the table with ideas, since we didn’t have a ton of inspiration pics for her. She can definitely either run with your loose ideas or follow a very specific Pinterest board, depending on what you want! Florals were a really important element for us, and Kwan outperformed our expectations. Our guests raved about the flowers! She was one of our favorite vendors we worked with.

Kwan and and her team are incredible. I cannot recommend Bliss in Bloom enough. My wedding was at Lowndes Grove in Charleston and I was blown away by the florals (and the rest of the venue!!). Kwan truly brought our vision to life.

The whole planning process was incredibly easy and fun. We met with Kwan several times to discuss our budget, vision, etc. and she had so many great ideas. Closer to the date, we met virtually to provide feedback on specific floral options. It felt like we were able to give input, but also have Kwan and her team use their creativity to make everything perfect. When I saw the florals on the day of the wedding, my jaw dropped. They were GORGEOUS. Our guests and random people that saw pictures have been raving about them. Several people have even asked me to send them pictures so they could ask their florist to put together similar arrangements.

Overall, I could not have been happier. Kwan went above and beyond. If you are getting married near Charleston, you must hire Kwan and her team!!!
