Word on the street
What locals are saying
Palmetto Bloom is a Ladson-based wedding floral studio with roots going back to founder Jonie Larosee, who launched it in 2015 and still works alongside current owner Colleen Purdy Tangeman — a continuity of hands that gives the studio unusual depth for its size. Responsiveness and collaborative process are the things clients mention most consistently, and the a la carte option makes it accessible for smaller budgets. The one honest knock: execution has occasionally diverged from inspiration images, with at least one bride noting a bouquet that didn't match her vision and boutonnières that came apart early — a reminder that the charm of a small shop comes with some variance.
