About

With more than 30 years of professional experience, we consistently provide our clients with the highest caliber of design talent, the freshest premium quality flowers, exquisite specialty table linens, containers and props and above all, superior customer service. We are committed to making your special event absolutely extraordinary. Summed up in one word- Unforgettable!

Our mission is to combine your personal ideas, and our experience to exceed your expectations, and to provide you and your guests with a beautiful and elegant wedding within any price range. We believe that style, color, lighting and attention to detail make more of an impact visually at a wedding, than just sheer volume of flowers. We create a complete personalized atmosphere for your wedding, from small intimate events, to lavish galas. When you meet with one of our designers to plan your wedding, let us know what your budgetary needs are, and we will be happy to give you several terrific options within any price range.

Consultations

After you have selected and ordered your dresses, we would be delighted to meet with you and provide you with written custom plans, along with pricing suggestions for your wedding at no charge. Typically we do not accept consultations Friday-Saturday, so that our primary focus and attention can be spent creating weddings and special events on the weekends. We are closed on Mondays.


A deposit of $1000.00, or an estimated 30% of your total invoice, whichever is greater, is required to secure the date on our calendar, and is applied to your balance. 30% of your total invoice is due 90 days prior to your wedding with the remaining balance due in full no later than 17 days prior to the wedding.

Again, thank you for your interest in Carolyn Shepard Design Group! We look forward to meeting with you soon!

Wedding at Foundation for the Carolinas 5.7.2022

Carolyn did a fantastic job with all of our florals! My mom is a florist and she was so happy with the professionalism and beauty that Carolyn provided. Carolyn even took care of some plants that I had put together for center pieces a couple of weeks before the wedding (just another way that she goes above and beyond!)

Wedding Dreams Come True!!

Carolyn was our wedding florist and she was truly wonderful to work with! We didn't have a clear vision of what we wanted for our wedding and she guided us through the process and put us at ease. The vision board she created for us was absolutely perfect and our wedding day was even more beautiful than we could have ever imagined! We are so grateful to her for helping to make the planning process easy and stress free. Would absolutely recommend her and use her again in the future!!

Beautiful day!

Carolyn came highly recommended to me by our planner. During my first meeting with Carolyn, she helped my mom and me navigate what we wanted to achieve, asked us smart questions to evaluate what was important and what our true needs were, and put us at ease. She understood our budget and helped us maximize our budget. I felt so comfortable with her and knew everything would be perfect.

When we arrived to the church on the wedding day, I was blown away by how gorgeous the bouquets and flowers in the church were. We received so many compliments. Our reception was at a brewery, and the flowers and candles she selected complimented the space perfectly. She's very talented, kind, and easy to work with. I highly recommend her.

Fantastic Florist!

My husband and I used Carolyn back for our wedding in June and are so glad we did. From day one, we were blown away by her professionalism and willingness to work with us within budget. We came to her weary after experiences with other florists and she was ever so welcoming and able to put together a proposal within budget and with exactly what we were looking for. She did an amazing job on all the pieces she put together – from our ceremony greenery to the rehearsal centerpieces that complimented the space so well. She did such a great job and we’re so glad we picked her.

If you want to feel at ease with your flowers and design aspect of your wedding. You have come to the right place, its hard to put into words how wonderful Carolyn is as a person and her work will blow you away! She will help you with your vision and make it bigger and better than you could ever imagine. Her work is more than just flowers you can tell she puts a personal touch on ever arrangement she does. The guest at my wedding could not get over how gorgeous her work was. As far as design she can help you with that as well, table clothes, candles, centerpieces she does it all!! I would recommend her to EVERYONE who was getting married in the Charlotte surrounding areas. She will not disappoint :)

From planner to bride, I knew that Carolyn and her team were top notch but when I walked into the reception, my breath was taken away. The beautiful linens, rich draping and lavish florals made my dream a reality. From start to finish, my experience with CSDG was flawless. I could not have been happier with the execution of all the details!!!
