Out of Hand

As far as event florists in the Charleston area, this one is not my cup of tea. I went there during my wedding planning and decided against working with Out of Hand for a number of reasons.
First — the good: They’re a great one-​stop-​shop. They have flowers, rentals and coordination services, if you’re interested in all those things. The ladies we met with were nice and their events always looked pretty. It’s also, as others mentioned, a cute craft-​y type shop with lots of knick-​knacks.
Unfortunately, I was simply not impressed with them as we stepped out a floral proposal for my wedding. My mother and I clearly explained we didn’t want mason jars, specific flowers, etc. … and when we got the proposal, those things were outlined as our quoted items. It was as if they hadn’t listened to us at all! Another thing on the proposal proved to me that they hadn’t really been listening: the inclusion of rental items. Our meeting was solely for florals (our venue had a really wonderful relationship with a different rental company) and we were very clear we weren’t renting any items from them that didn’t have to do directly with the flower arrangements. However, when we got the proposal it included rentals — a huge white bar, among other things — that we said we weren’t interested in getting through them. I’ve never felt so «unheard» in a meeting with a vendor in my entire life. It was really disappointing.
Obviously we decided against working with Out of Hand for our wedding day flowers. If they couldn’t listen to me when they were courting my business, how could I be sure they’d listen through the rest of the process?

Good find, but did not have flowers the day we were there. I suggest calling ahead. Very friendly about directing us to another shop. Good place for crafters & people who love eclectic items.

One of my favorite shops in the Charleston area. Always unique! The shop is creatively decorated and ever-​changing. The staff is great. This is a shop worth making a trip to in Old Village, Mt. Pleasant. My only complaint, they close at 5:00… Wishing they would have an extended hours shopping day or open on Sunday. The only day I can shop there is on Monday… Due to my work schedule.
