Charlotte florists deliver beautiful flowers with some Old Southern Charm.
Charlotte, North Carolina has been called the Wall Street of the South as it is the second largest banking center in the nation after New York. Charlotte picked up its other well known nickname as the "Hornets Nest" back in the 1700’s during the American Revolution. The revolution took place when thirteen colonies joined forces to emancipate themselves from British rule. After a particularly gruelling day of dealing with revolutionary forces in the area, the British General Charles Cornwallis described Charlotte as a "hornet’s nest of rebellion".
In addition to housing to some of the larger financial institutions, Charlotte is also the home of racing giant NASCAR. The Nascar Hall of Fame is also in the area and it is estimated that 75% of all NASCAR industry employees live within two hours of Charlotte. Some of the U.S.'s larger corporations are also headquartered in Charlotte; Lowe's, Lending Tree and Family Dollar are just a few.
Despite its growth in the financial sector, Charlotte still retains some its original southern charm which Charlotte florists and event planners try to recreate with their designs. Charlotte flower shops often use the whimsical majesty of days gone by and dress their shop windows in this theme. Several weddings and events are other occasions that frequently use this theme. Many brides want to be the "Southern Belle" on their special day, and will rely on a Charlotte florist to help support their vision. Whether they use a Charlotte flower shop or a Charlotte flower designer, it is crucial that whomever the bride chooses to create her wedding flowers is familiar with the Old South.
When one thinks of Old Southern Charm, one envisions plantations in bloom with Magnolia's, Camellia's and Hydrangeas'. A true southern belle's days were spent sipping mint juleps on a terrace or in a garden. A Charlotte florist can help bring some of that charm to a wedding through various types of blooms they'll use to create your wedding flowers. Of course, the flowers should always be the brides pick, but a Charlotte flower shop owner can help you identify the flowers that support the vision. A good Charlotte flower designer knows that one of the best ways for a bride to get a better idea of what she is looking for is to visit one of Charlotte's historical plantations for inspiration and will often accompany the bride- to- be to provide suggestions. The city of Charlotte really does have the best of both worlds. One can still recapture the old southern charm in the midst of a world class city.
