JW Weddings and Events

JW Weddings and Events is a wedding floral business in Charleston, South Carolina. Justin Wham is the owner and lead florist, with more than 20 years of experience in floral design, planning and coordination.

What LGBTQ+ couples can expect

The business is LGBTQ+-owned. That is a useful fact when you want flowers designed without assumptions about who carries a bouquet and who wears a boutonniere. Floral design is flexible, and a florist who listens will build the look around the two of you.

Floral services

• Bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages
• Altar and ceremony decor, including chuppah decor
• Flower petals and single flowers
• Reception arrangements
• Styles from classic and romantic to rustic, preppy, vintage and tropical

Working out your flowers

Start with the venue and the season. Charleston weddings often use outdoor gardens and historic spaces, and the light, heat and humidity affect which flowers hold up. Ask what blooms are at their best on your date.

Bring photos of colors and textures you like, the number of people in your wedding party and a ceremony setup sketch if you have one. Ask about delivery, set-up, and whether pieces from the ceremony can be moved to the reception.

Where they work

The business operates from Charleston, South Carolina. Ask about delivery to venues outside the city, including nearby islands and coastal towns.
