Carter went to college to become a teacher, but the draw of the family business was too much. She returned after two years of school and decided to focus her efforts on floral planning for weddings.
Carter said that weddings are taking off and becoming big business in part due to social media sites like Pinterest and The Knot. The websites are devoted to organizing everything from appetizers and cocktails to ceremony moments, favors, and flower arrangements for all kinds of events. Carter said that many of today’s brides are coming to her with a big book full of ideas that they’ve gleaned from such websites.

Business is booming for Carter’s Florist, the business that she continues to develop with her family. The company completes all the traditional services of a florist along with the wedding branch. Carter said she believes that thought florists may classify as luxury businesses, meaning that they aren’t extremely essential, people still love giving and receiving flowers. She said it was because getting a beautiful bouquet or arrangement of flowers meant that someone was thinking about you.
