A Few Things You Might Be Wondering

Flowers are emotional. They set the tone, tell the story, and linger in memory long after the last petal fades. We know planning them comes with questions, so we’ve gathered a few of the most common ones here.

If you don’t see what you’re looking for, we’re always happy to continue the conversation.

  • Retro Whims designs florals throughout Western North Carolina, including Cashiers, Highlands, Asheville, and surrounding mountain communities. We happily travel for celebrations rooted in beauty, intention, and a strong sense of place.

  • We focus on weddings, elopements, and intimate celebrations, along with select events and floral installations. Whether your day is an elegant mountain affair or a free-spirited gathering, our approach stays artful and personal.

  • Yes. Our custom wedding floral design begins at a minimum investment, which varies depending on location, season, and scope. This allows us to fully immerse ourselves in your design and provide the thoughtful, full-service experience our work is known for.

    (If you’re dreaming of lush, intentional florals rather than one-off arrangements, you’re likely in the right place.)

  • Most couples reach out 6–12 months ahead of their date, especially for spring and fall weddings. Some dates fill quickly, so we recommend inquiring as soon as you feel that spark of this is it.

  • Absolutely. We adore intimate celebrations. Elopements and micro-weddings receive the same creative attention and care as larger events — just on a smaller, beautifully curated scale.

  • Always. We don’t use templates or preset packages. Every design is created from scratch, inspired by your story, your setting, and the season your celebration lives in.

  • Often, yes — and we love making the most of meaningful florals. We’ll guide you on what can transition seamlessly from ceremony to celebration, keeping things both beautiful and intentional.

  • Yes. Full-service design includes delivery, on-site installation, styling, and tear-down. We take care of the details so you can stay present and soak it all in.

  • We prioritize seasonal blooms fresh from local farms whenever possible. This allows for richer textures, better quality, and designs that feel naturally connected to the time and place of your event.

  • Our style blends whimsical florals, vintage charm, and a touch of nostalgia — arrangements that feel collected, expressive, and just a little unexpected. Think garden-inspired movement with a retro soul.

  • After you inquire, we’ll review your details and schedule a consultation if we’re a good fit. From there, we create a custom design proposal that brings your floral vision to life.

  • Yes — collaboration is one of our favorite parts. We regularly work alongside planners, photographers, and venues across Western NC to create beautifully cohesive events.
