Where to even begin…Lisa and her staff at Central Florist went about and beyond for my December wedding in the Poconos. Even though the wedding was 3 hours away from the shop, she made sure every detail was perfect. From the first consultation to the day of the event, the professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were beyond our expectations. When we first went to the consultation, I wasn’t sure of what I was looking for, I just knew that I didn’t want the ordinary centerpiece. When given my color scheme and vibe for the wedding, Lisa created a gorgeous geometrical centerpiece that I have never seen before. She created a beautiful live flower wall for our Photo Booth backdrop as well. She not only handled our floral arrangements, but did our dessert table as well. Lisa and her staff seamlessly handled the distance and logistics, making everything feel effortless on our end. My guests are still talking about how beautiful the flowers were! If you are looking for a florist who makes you feel like her priority then look no further. Lisa at Central Florist is the one to choose and I will continue to use her for all future events.

Beth from Hudson Valley Flowers was so easy to communicate with and fast to respond. Beth made my vision come true with what I wanted. She even added her own professional touches and everything came out beautiful. Beth has such a warm, welcoming personality. It was amazing to finally meet her on my wedding day.

This is a business I officially launched in 2017 and it has been an absolute joy to work with flowers in celebrating so many happy occasions!

Maple Field Floral came through in the worst of times! In the middle of the pandemic lockdown, they made floral arrangements, bouquets, boutonnieres and a beautiful floral arch for our family to celebrate our parents' 50th anniversary with their grandkids. They based the design of off my parents' original wedding flowers. We were able to make memories because of them. I will forever be grateful!

Hi there! I’m Karina, an architect turned floral designer dabbling in all things daisies and more!

We had Dean Street Daisy do a bouquet making activity for a bachelorette party and it was one of the best parts of our weekend. Her set up was beautiful, her instructions and attention to everyone was beyond perfect, she taught us about bouquet composition, color composition, she even brought wine to taste as we made our bouquets, and she tailored all the flowers and colors to go perfectly with our themed garden dinner party to follow! Highly highly highly recommend for any and all events. 15/10 stars

We hired Michelle to design our wedding flowers this past Fall. She did an amazing job! From her first email to the second I saw my bouquet, she was kind, full of creative ideas, and right on our budget. She designed the most beautiful flowers for us that I've ever seen! Everything was perfect. I still get teary eyed thinking about my bouquet and the amazing chuppah. My favorite thing about her is that her studio only books one wedding a weekend. Some florists I was talking to said they do up to 5 in one day! That's crazy. I felt secure knowing that my wedding was the only one that her and her amazing staff were working on. Her attention to detail definitely showed! Hire her, you won't be disappointed.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.9 (78 reviews)
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Croton On Hudson, 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.

We were on a strict budget for our wedding. I knew that florals would be the best way to save on some of the huge wedding costs. I found out about Flower Moxie from googling where I would get wholesale flowers. I was immediately hooked once I saw the flower options, tutorials, and worksheets to help plan out my special day. I am very big on organization, and this website had resources for every step of the way. I found the perfect combination of flowers for my boho wedding. I ordered the flowers about 2 months before our big day. It was a destination wedding, so I was checking into our airbnb on the day the flowers were arriving. I had them scheduled to be delivered at the Fedex holding center near by. I thought the company only used Fedex shipping based on my research. I went into full panic mode when I saw the flowers had been shipped by UPS. I immediately called UPS and Fedex, and to be honest I was stunned at the behavior on the other side of the phone. The flowers were still in transit, and no one would help me with rerouting. I called Flower Moxie to see if they could change things on their side as they were the sender. Luis answered the phone and it felt like I finally had someone looking out for me. I had already spent 4 hours on the phone with the shipping companies and gotten nowhere. Luis said he was on it and not to worry. I ordered enough flowers for 18 centerpieces, 70 bud vases, 8 bouquets, and 1 flower arch. Needless to say, it was quite the ordeal to reroute everything. Over the next 48 hours, Luis kept in constant contact with me about the progress of the shipment. I know I was on the phone for at least 6 hours with this ordeal, and I wouldn't be surprised if he had spent about 15 hours talking to UPS, Fedex, florists, and customs to get me my flowers. He made me feel calm and taken care of. Everyone was coming to me with questions and concerns the entire wedding week, and I can't express how it felt to have someone have my back, and take an extremely big tasks off my plate. I would absolutely recommend this company for DIY brides. And I hope this review is seen by Flower Moxie to highlight an outstanding employee with excellent customer service. In an age when it takes time and multiple attempts in order to talk to a person on the phone, I am so appreciative of the effort that was given by Luis for my wedding day. He made me feel like it was an important event for him too. Thank you Luis for making my wedding dreams come true! My sister also mentioned you in her MOH wedding speech. We were all impressed :)

The granddaughter of two gardeners, I have always felt a connection to the earth through the soil. When someone brings flowers into a room, something changes...an energy, an excitement! I love being able to bring that kind of beauty into peoples lives. I'm a small-town girl who enjoys anything that involves working with my hands from cooking to knitting. I'm a total animal lover (partial to dogs), a die-hard Grey's Anatomy fan, and I take my martinis extra dirty. When I'm not flowering in our studio in Milford, Connecticut, I'm mommin' to three amazing little boys (our dog Pippa and cat, Galaxy).

Kate was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! Her communication throughout the process was clear, understanding, and attentive, and she was always quick to respond. The quality of her work was truly professional, and the floral design was exactly what I had envisioned for our special day! She was also incredibly flexible, making last-minute changes to our order the month before the wedding without any issues. The setup and overall design was absolutely beautiful - especially our ceremony arch! I would highly recommend Fountainhead Floral Design to any couple looking for a reliable, talented, and customer-focused wedding florist!

I used Heather for our chuppah rental for my wedding at Windham Manor. I saw her brown bark chuppah on Instagram and immediately knew I had to have it. Heather was amazing to work with and the result was absolutely stunning! I am so in love with how it turned out. She even helped me customize the wooden platform from another one of her rentals to work with our chuppah and give me the exact vision I wanted. She was also super flexible. I was slow to decide which location at the venue I wanted the ceremony at and she did not rush me at all. I ended up wanting the ceremony on the grass and the venue said the chuppah would have to be taken down the same night if we were to be allowed to do this. Of course Heather said this would be no problem at all and was immediately willing to stay and do this for us. They day of our wedding ended up being a bit crazy with on and off rain but Heather was totally calm and go with the flow while the planner worked on making the rain decision. She also attached a family tallis to the top of the chuppah and it stayed perfectly, despite the not ideal weather conditions. Highly recommend working with Heather!!!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Lorrie, and we loved the flowers and decor she created for our wedding. We weren't the easiest clients, as we were quite indecisive at the beginning. We bounced between wanting a minimalist all-white look and introducing various colors since we didn't have a strict theme. Finally, just a month before the big day, we settled on a complex palette with several specific colors. Despite the late change, Lorrie was calm and professional. Her support was invaluable; she sent timely follow-ups and was a grounding presence when we were scrambling behind the scenes to figure everything else out. She took our final color decisions and matched exactly what we had envisioned in terms of the colors and the ratios of each shade. Beyond the centerpieces and bouquets, Lorrie also provided a chuppah in a beautiful copper base. When the final florals and decor arrived, they were stunning and truly brought our whole aesthetic together. If you're looking for a florist who is patient, a dream to work with, and incredibly talented at executing complex color requests and providing crucial support, hire Style & Vine!

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.
