The Flower Diva

Happy...life...romance...luxury...unique. These are the words we heard and are still hearing from guests! WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF!!!!
I'll start my review by saying that my wedding was primarily decorated with flowers. They were TO DIE FOR BEAUTIFUL! I have done weddings for 15 years and was a florist myself. To say I was extremely picky about my flowers was a complete understatement! I designed weddings that entire time as well. You absolutely get what you pay for with this. And if done right, your florals will save you money on other decor and make your wedding MUCH nicer than if you primarily use rentals. Keep reading.

When you've been doing weddings for that long, and you are in love with flowers, it can be nearly impossible to hand it over to someone else. BUT...that's where Carrie M. Cassidy Struble, owner of The Flower Diva, comes in!!!!!
I've watched Carrie and her team do weddings for all of these years. My theme and color palette were not your typical wedding. It was beautiful, lush, and romantic...yes. But not cookie cutter in any way.

Carrie and her team worked their tails off designing with me for our special day. It was such an exciting process that even my groom was excited to see the finished product! I remember telling him "Look babe! A sneak peak!" And he said "No! This has been such an interesting experience for me I want to see the whole thing when it's done so I can keep enjoying it!".

My groom is all "guy" and is a GC so for him to be even remotely excited about a flower, much less a whole wedding of them...well that was saying something! Lol.

Carrie and her team went above and beyond to color match and blend my dreams to perfection. I was waiting to post a review until I had more professional pics back but maybe I'll circle back and post more when I have them.

I am a person who LOVES sunshine and wants to see the "happy" in life. I asked Carry to bring my high end taste into connection with "happy" and romance. From the moment you entered our wedding, every speck of the florals was on point. Perfection! All of our guests gasped at the beauty and raved about how magical it looked!

All of these years watching Carrie I knew that she takes the every day and makes it extraordinary!

Also, because I've done weddings for so long I had several Charlotte wedding vendors as friends and even some in the wedding. They see hundreds of weddings a year and were still "blown away" by how beautiful our wedding was!

I cannot recommend The Flower Diva enough! If you need anything...one perfect stem...or the best "wow factor" you can find...FLOWER DIVA is your company!

I was able to completely trust them with my day.

We are currently having some preserved and some pressed.

Happy...life...romance...luxury...unique. These are the words we heard and are still hearing from guests!

Thank you Flower Diva for making the happiest day of our lives LOOK like the happiest day of our lives. I will never forget this.

Amazing job guys on the flowers that you delivered yesterday. I'm one picky SOB and if I'm happy then that means the work is great. My cousin was delighted with her flowers.

Being out of state, first time using this florist based on Yelp reviews and being in close proximity to my aunt's home with the best reviews.

The florist was great in providing me with a photo and alerting me of its delivery. They were gorgeous! I upgraded to "better" arrangement.

My aunt was equally thrilled and sent me a photo, though not as well pictured but you can see what "better" looks like. Lots of gorgeous, fresh and vibrant looking flowers!

Thank you to The Flower Diva for brightening up my Aunt's day on her 84th birthday!

They delivered flowers to a friend that was transitioning. I am grateful they were able to give a nice bouquet.

I could (and will) write a lot but the recipient's response encapsulates it all: "Omg I cried. They are so beautiful thank you so much!"

Carrie was awesome to work with. I told her I needed something ridiculously amazing and she delivered, literally. When I need to send something extraordinary, The Flower Diva is who I'd call again and again flowers in the Pineville, Ballantyne or Fort Mill border area of Charlotte. Her floral arrangements aren't the run of the mill FTD and 800-Flowers nonsense. They have real value, in quality vases, not "codified product" cutsie vases and ceramicware that no one will ever use again.

This arrangement of cut flowers was sent for a birthday to a special friend from friends. The recipient's favorite color is purple and Carrie nailed it. In one of the pictures you can see on the counter what a competing florist delivered to the same recipient. Not even a comparison. Don't waste money using online floral websites. Call Carrie! You'll actually get your money's worth - and you'll support a local Charlotte florist instead of some random call center who will never see your flowers.

The Floral Diva kept me informed during the process by sending a delivery confirmation and picture of the arrangement taken before it left the shop via their Floranext POS. This made me feel confident the fresh cut flower arrangement would arrive on-time and in good condition. It arrived in the exact same condition as pictured and was delivered early in the day so the recipient and the customers coming into the store where it was delivered could enjoy it all day.

Thank you Floral Divia for making this birthday a special occasion for the recipient!

We called the Flower Diva after some rando local shop -- acting as fulfillment for a national chain -- completely screwed up an important gift. Where they said, "We couldn't do it today, maybe you'll get lucky tomorrow," the Flower Diva delivered, in every sense of the word.

Amazing doesn't come close to how beautiful my mom's 80th bday flowers were! they were absolutely stunning! it was such an easy online order with all the questions necessary to make it what i exactly wanted the arrangement to be.

was it more than a usual vase of flowers, perhaps yet worth every penny!!!

i will def be back as they are a great florist - got a confirmation email, got a delivery email and got a picture of the flowers delivered.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely gorgeous arrangement and fantastic service. My mother-in-law is a wonderfully elegant and fun 80ish woman. We had fun working with The Flower Diva and they created a birthday flower arrangement that reflected her sophisticated yet whimsical style.

She loved the arrangement and we admired them throughout the evening. Here's what I got from her this morning: "It's so beautiful that I stop and admire it every time I pass the table. Thank you again!"

Thank you The Flower Diva for helping us make the occasion special and memorable!

Amongst all the birthday flowers I received, the arrangement from Flower Diva was a standout! I'm not an easy person to impress and I don't enjoy the usual suspects such as roses, lilies, and sunflowers, but the Flower Diva came through with not only a gorgeous arrangement, but I felt like I was admiring a curated masterpiece every time I looked at it. Needless to say, I've found my forever florist!

Best florist I've ever used. We ordered flowers from here when my sister had her 1st baby, for my wife and mom for Mother's Day, birthdays and special occasions. They always come thru and everyone compliments how amazing their flowers are. I highly recommend and will order from them for many occasions to come. Great job flower diva!
