Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.9

  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Bonham, TX

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I used flower moxie to do my florals for my wedding. Overall, I had a great experience. I completed a consult that helped me select the correct florals for my event, quantities, and recipes for my creations. The flowers were delayed by 1 day in delivery, and the delphinium were not able to be used. After sending a picture to flower moxie, they provided a full refund for that flower. The videos were helpful for the prep and my wedding party helped me build arrangements. It was a fun event for everyone to do together. I would highly recommend the consult!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jen was AMAZING to work with! When it came to flowers for my wedding, I had NO IDEA what I wanted. She was very patient with me and helped talk me through my vision. She gave me flowers to pick from, talked about how big I wanted my bouquet and how much greenery I wanted, and then when I could find colors I liked in swatches, she color-matched the colors I wanted from an inspo pic I found online! She was very professional and patient with me, even when my plans changed or I needed to add to my order.  I am not the best at putting together a bouquet. I am also someone who likes control, especially when it came to planning my wedding. I was thankful that I was able to give Jen the reins, tell her what I wanted, and watch her make my dreams come true. When I first saw my flowers, I was speechless. She truly did make my floral dreams come true, and now I get to keep my bouquet for the rest of my life! A wooden flower bouquet from Jen is the way to go!

Choose one of our DIY flower kits or get a custom plan based on your colors, style, and budget.

Awarded Best of Zola
The flowers (on our order) came in large boxes, but they were not labeled, so it took a minute to get the flowers both identified and properly set up. To be fair we were warned about the process, but not about the length of time due to our inexperience. As a note, it took my fiancé 5 hours to process the flowers when first receiving them. I also did not have any updates from them from the time I ordered till they were being shipped. They were beyond more affordable compared to other florists, and the flowers arrived alive and in good spirits. We were able to keep the flowers alive for over four days!! Many of the flowers that we chose did not have specific instructions, so we had to follow the general reference for the flowers and hope for the best. Additionally, some of the flowers that we wanted were not in stock, and they were replaced for us with substitutes but were not notified until we had all of the flowers already delivered to us. Also, as a note, bloom culture uses third party sellers for their flowers, so the quality may vary depending on location. Our flowers were in good condition, and the company we had clearly took good care of the flowers prior to delivering them to us. Would we do it again? Probably not, but it made for good laughs and bonding time and we have stories to tell from it!

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing a bright, bold color palette for our wedding made me so nervous — I knew I didn’t want anything traditional, and I wanted our florals to truly reflect who we are as a couple. I was especially hoping to recreate the flowers from the bouquet my husband gave me on our very first date, which meant everything to me. It wasn’t an easy palette to pull off, and I was scared it might look chaotic instead of intentional. But Lush & Luxury Events absolutely nailed it. They took every detail of our story, our personalities, and that sentimental first-date bouquet and transformed it into the most breathtaking floral designs I’ve ever seen. The colors were vibrant yet balanced, artistic yet cohesive — exactly the sentimental, joyful, personality-filled look I dreamed of but didn’t know how to articulate. When I saw the flowers do the fist time I gave Amber the biggest hug. I saw how important it was to her that I loved my flowers. It was so perfectly us. Guests kept telling us they had never seen florals done like this before — bold, meaningful, and completely one of a kind. If you’re looking for a florist who listens deeply, embraces creative challenges, and brings your vision to life with heart and artistry, this team is everything. They didn’t just decorate our wedding… they told our story through flowers.

Autumn was super easy to work with, and incredibly helpful! I reached out initially and received a very prompt response. She had great ideas to help me with budget. TBH, I was thinking I would DIY before reaching out to her and a couple other vendors. Her proposal was great, we tweaked it and it came together perfectly! On our day, my bridal bouquet was exquisite! The flowers were stunning!!!! We also had a small bouquet for my step daughter, boutonnières, a low lush sweetheart table with extras, compotes and bud vases for the reception tables, and cake flowers for the tiered cake. I am probably forgetting other details… She did set up and tear down. And also noteworthy, we had a couple of surprise venue requirements that were not clear to me in advance, and she handled those like a champ!

I had a call with Brianna prior to my wedding and she was attentive, asked questions, and made sure she understood exactly what I had in mind before she went to work on concepting our wedding flowers. On my wedding day, I *gasped* when I saw my bouquet for the first time.... it met and exceeded my expectations, tenfold. The floral was better than anything I could've pictured in my head. She brought together textures and colors of flowers that worked so well... my wedding was in the Fall and it perfectly encapsulated Fall/autumn colors. The other thing I liked was that I told her I wanted eclectic flowers- something outside of the box. And she delivered- the flowers were perfectly unique and beautiful. THANK YOU, I would 10/10 recommend Vase Space!

Carol is so talented. When I saw her instagram I immediately loved her work and it was exactly what I was looking for. The name of her business says it all! The whimsical styled arrangements she creates are so beautiful. She is very helpful and quick to respond! Not long after I sent an inquiry form, she put together a design proposal with inspo pictures and color palette and it was SPOT on. I was geeking over how pretty and nicely put together the proposal was with all the types of flowers she would be using, the colors, and inspiration pictures that were similar to the vibe of our venue. We met at her shop and talked prices and she broke down everything for me and worked with my budget. Her and her team were amazing the day of the wedding. They came in the morning and brought everything in, set up all the tables and the ceremony site, after the ceremony they helped bring the arrangements inside to repurpose them , and came back to help with take down at the end of the night. She also left flowers at the table ready for my cake artist to decorate, and brought me the prettiest surprise bouquet to the bridal suite with a sweet note from my fiance. She also made the cutest flower collar for my dog to walk down the aisle with as the ring bearer! My wedding was a little over a month ago and I'm still so obsessed with everything. I will always recommend Whimsy Floral to anyone! Even if it's not for a big event, and just for a special occasion, all of her arrangements are beautiful. Thank you again, Carol and thank you to your amazing team
