Glitzed Events was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding florals. Nicole and her team were incredibly responsive, creative, and attentive to every detail throughout the planning process. I had a very specific vision for a gothic Victorian theme with black and white florals, and Nicole brought that vision to life perfectly. She worked closely with me to explore different options and make changes as needed. The morning of the wedding, I asked for a last-minute change to my bouquet and Nicole was so quick and responsive to make the adjustment. The final florals were truly stunning - it was like stepping into a dream. I cannot recommend Glitzed Events highly enough for the exceptional quality of work they provided. They played a huge role in making our wedding day absolutely perfect.

Ive known Lisa and the team at Central Florist since I was little, so choosing them was a no brainer, as they have always DELIVERED on every order we've made. However, I can not say enough amazing things about the flowers Lisa created for my wedding. From the table runners, to our arch, the flowers for our groomsmen, bridesmaids, parents, and myself.....I was blown away.

It was perfect from bouquets to each centerpiece and our arch. I came to Sandy without a true vision of florals and had no idea what I was doing. She turned my mismatched thoughts into perfection and a dream come true. I had the centerpieces repurposed into bouquets for guests to take home & everyone absolutely loved that they were able to take some of the gorgeous flowers home with them. It was beautiful and perfect but it would not have been that way without our florals from Pedestals!! 2 weeks later and people are STILL telling us they were the most beautiful florals at a wedding!!!

  • Serves Atlantic Beach, NY

Our founder, Alexandra, left her corporate 9–5 job in search of something more fulfilling. When she ‘stopped & smelled the roses’, she fell in love with flowers. As the daughter of a carpenter, she has always appreciated creating something beautiful with her own hands. She loves capturing each client's unique ideas in her custom designs, bringing their special day to life with her arrangements. Alexandra lives in Astoria with her husband, John, and her cat, Piper, and she never met a rosé she didn’t like.

We can't recommend Aster & Fir highly enough! From our first conversation with Alexandra, we knew we were in amazing hands. Alexandra has a unique style and understood our vision from day one. We had several special circumstances and she handled each with grace and an amazing collaborative attitude. During our walk through she helped us think through creative solutions and shared so many wonderful ideas for the event. Our guests have been raving about the florals -- from a truly beautiful chuppah that incorporated a family chuppah cover, to table arrangements that were vibrant and elegant, and so many other details throughout the night. The florals were a huge highlight of the night for us, and Alexandra's warmth made this the easiest part of our wedding planning process.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.9 (78 reviews)
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Atlantic Beach, NY

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

Flower Moxie completely exceeded my expectations in every way! I ordered their pastels package for my wedding and was blown away by how stunning the flowers were. The blooms were fresh, vibrant, and even more beautiful than I imagined—truly some of the healthiest flowers I’ve ever seen. I was initially curious (and a little nervous) about how the process would work, since I’d never used a service like this before. But from the very beginning, Maria and the Flower Moxie team were incredibly kind, accommodating, and truly went above and beyond. Maria walked me through every step with warmth and thoughtfulness, and made everything feel so easy and stress-free. They really knocked it out of the park. The flowers added so much magic to our day. I used them for our welcome sign, cake, bud vases, and to transform a faux white-and-green arch and floral meadow by adding real, colorful blooms—and the final result was breathtaking. So many guests complimented how beautiful everything looked. I cannot recommend Flower Moxie enough. They’re not just a flower company—they’re a dream team that helps make your vision come to life!

We had the absolute pleasure working with Isabel for our Prospect Park Boathouse wedding. We knew from the start that florals were going to play a big role in our wedding, and we wanted a specific style as well. My planner recommended Isabel and going with her was the best decision. Isabel is incredibly friendly and professional, always available to give feedback and bounce ideas off of. I gave her my inspo board and she really, truly understood my vision. The mood boards she provides also helped me convey the wedding theme with other vendors as well. I'll never forget seeing my dreams come to life in front of my eyes on our wedding day.

First of all - the end product was just beautiful. Everything from the bridal bouquet to the ceremony flowers to the table styling was exquisite and super unique. Shannon did a great job incorporating my favorite color (yellow) and a whimsical, organic wildness into the design exactly as I had hoped. From our first meeting to the written proposal, Shannon interpreted my thoughts and ideas exactly. I was so impressed that she took my ramblings and half ideas and pulled them together into what I was seeing in my head. Shannon’s GORGEOUS color palette informed the entire wedding design and gave me a jumping off point for invitations, bridesmaid dresses, other decor, etc. Unfortunately, the process of working with Shannon was a bit challenging. She struggled with nailing down details: incorrect number of tables, inconsistent accounting of candles/bud vases, etc. It took a number of incorrect proposal drafts until we got it right - just weeks before the wedding. We were honestly quite disappointed by Shannon’s flexibility and communication. She self-describes as being highly collaborative, but that was not our experience. First, as beer nerds, having hops in the design was super important to us, and while she flagged early on it could be an issue to source real ones, we discussed using fake. While we all agreed that she shouldn’t use fake hops if they looked bad, we were sad to see on the day of that they didn’t make it into the design. It would have been nice to have heard a heads up from her that she didn’t plan to use them - even if it was just a brief mention on the day-of. Second, when our cake plans fell through at the last minute, we asked Shannon if she could possibly supply a few flowers for our small 6” cutting cake. She told us she would try, but later we heard from the bakery that she had given them a flat no. She never communicated her decision to us. Thankfully, the bakery pulled something together for us (shout out to Zest Pastry!). Third, the Monday before the wedding, Shannon sent an alarming email with the subject line “Head Advisory, Oh No!”, asking us what our plan was. Getting any email titled “Oh No” isn’t fun to receive less than a week before your wedding. Further, as a trusted wedding vendor, we would hope that she would have plans for weather or unexpected events rather than looking to us during a very stressful period. Lastly, (and most disappointingly) despite having a run of day schedule, Shannon was nowhere to be found when it was time to put on boutonnieres and corsages. Our photographers and party thankfully jumped in to help to avoid major delays to portraits (shout out to Katie Slater!). Fundamentally, the product Shannon provided was beyond compare - everything was beautiful. That said, the communication, coordination, and organization were lacking from our experience.
