Flowers by Katie Ford

Katie Ford grew up on Chicago's North Shore before moving to Bluffton, where the Lowcountry's oaks, marshes, and gardenias drew her into floral design as a full-time career. She has since been featured in regional press including Daily North Shore, Forest & Bluff Magazine, and Modern Luxury, and built an Instagram following of more than 20,000 around her work.

Ford designs each wedding's florals from scratch around the couple, choosing flowers in part for their symbolic meaning alongside color, texture, and season. Her studio handles bridal party bouquets and ceremony and reception florals, and also runs hands-on arrangement workshops and monthly flower subscriptions between weddings.

Flowers by Katie Ford is based at 3 Lawton Street in Bluffton and serves weddings across Bluffton, Hilton Head, Beaufort, and Savannah. The studio does not publish wedding package pricing on its own site; a marketplace listing shows an estimated starting price, but that figure comes from the platform rather than the studio itself, so it is not used here.
