~ welcome ~
A floral and botanical design studio in downtown Charleston. Weekly subscriptions, bespoke event florals, and editorial work for the kinds of weddings that don't feel like weddings. Sourcing primarily from Lowcountry growers within forty miles of the studio.
~ what we do ~
Subscriptions for homes and offices that want flowers without the deciding. Bespoke event florals for weddings and gatherings — with a particular love for the small, unusual ones. And editorial work for magazines, brands, and the occasional film.
A hand-tied bunch delivered every week, designed around what's in season and what arrived from our growers that morning. Three sizes, flexible scheduling, the lowest-friction way to have flowers always in your kitchen.
Weddings, anniversaries, milestone gatherings. We take on roughly twenty events a year — small ceremonies, intimate dinners, and a few larger weddings where we can still know every table by name. Bookings open twelve months ahead.
For magazines, brands, and stylists who want flowers that look as though they were arranged for a particular page and no other. We've worked with Garden & Gun, Architectural Digest, and a handful of independent publications.

~ the subscription ~
Our weekly subscription is the simplest way we've found to keep flowers in someone's life without the fuss of choosing. You pick a size and a delivery schedule — we do everything else, sourced from whichever grower had the prettiest stems that morning.
Subscriptions ship within fifteen miles of the studio, every Friday between 10am and 2pm. Outside that radius, we offer the same arrangement by overnight courier for an extra $14. Cancel any time, pause when you're traveling, no questions asked.

We do our work quietly and prefer that to stay the case — but we are grateful for the occasional notice from people we admire.
Annelise Vaughan's arrangements read like still-lifes — botanical, painterly, never overworked. Charleston's most quietly accomplished florist.
A genuinely local florist in a city overflowing with them — Field & Vellum's commitment to within-forty-miles sourcing produces flowers that genuinely belong to where they're cut.
Restrained, considered, and somehow quietly luxurious — Field & Vellum has become our preferred florist for shoots that need flowers to feel real, not styled.

~ the studio ~
I started Field & Vellum in the back room of a print shop on King Street in 2014, with one walk-in cooler, an old workbench from my grandfather's barn, and a single subscription customer — my mother, who paid up front for a year.
Eleven years later, the studio occupies a small storefront on Spring Street in Wagener Terrace, with three of us working full-time, plus a garden out back that supplies about fifteen percent of our stems through the warmer months. The cooler is bigger; the workbench is the same.
We don't keep regular retail hours — almost everything we make is by subscription or by appointment. But the door is usually unlocked on Friday mornings between 10am and noon if you'd like to come say hello, and the studio garden is always open to whoever wanders past.
~ ready when you are ~
Subscriptions start whenever you'd like. Bespoke event consultations are by request, free of charge, and run about an hour. Editorial inquiries we'd love to hear about — write to us with the project, the deadline, and the mood.
