Timeless Arches, LLC 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Kyburz, CA
  • Offer

I grew up in a florist shop and always loved flowers. When faux flower became so good they were fooling gardeners and bees, I knew this business would be good for everyone. I can help save the environment as well as make wedding ceremonies absolutely stunning! I specialize in making the ceremony site dazzle with large floral pre-made instillations. These florals can be moved, for a small relocation fee, to your reception to make a dynamic sweetheart, cake table or entryway. I do not offer centerpieces or bouquets. I have found most brides want these fresh. I do however carry single rose bud centerpieces in white, pink or red only.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Timeless Arches for an event in Reno, and I can’t say enough about their exceptional service and breathtaking work! From start to finish, they exceeded every expectation. I reached out with a specific request for floral arrangements, and despite the tight timeline, Timeless Arches delivered with remarkable speed and precision. The turnaround time was nothing short of impressive, ensuring everything was perfect for the big day. Heather’s creativity truly stood out—she’s a visionary! The floral designs she crafted were not only stunning but also perfectly captured the essence of the event. Each arrangement was a masterpiece, blending elegance and originality in a way that elevated the entire event. The vibrant colors, thoughtful compositions, and meticulous attention to detail made the venue in Reno absolutely magnificent. Guests couldn’t stop raving about how the flowers transformed the space into something magical. Timeless Arches, led by Heather’s extraordinary talent, made the event unforgettable. Her professionalism, quick delivery, and unparalleled artistry deserve every bit of this five-star review. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for floral perfection! Bravo Heather

We used Something Borrowed Blooms for part of our ceremony and reception florals, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience! We chose the Jane collection floral meadows and added in some real colorful stems to match our theme—and the result was absolutely stunning. You would never know the base florals were faux! The entire process was incredibly seamless. Receiving, setting up, and returning the flowers was so much easier than I ever expected.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

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.

I ordered the "peaches and cream" small package. We decided to skip on ceremony florals, and only have handhelds and bud vases at the reception. We did buy a few more flowers from the grocery to add more peach once the flowers arrived. We made and medium sized bridal bouquet, 4 bridesmaids bouquets, 3 corsages, and 7 bouts. (With lots of flowers left over). My bridesmaids and I did the arranging the morning before the wedding; it was fun, and a great start to the weekend. None of us had experience, but it all turned out great! If you or your bridal party are mildly crafty, I'd highly recommend it!

We had the most incredible experience with the Faux Bouquets! From start to finish, Brittany was responsive, caring and efficient! We rented the ‘Moody Romance’ suite and I purchased an add on of a custom bridal bouquet and boutonnière! I had done thorough research on purchasing real flowers and while price was our driving factor, I loved the element of saving on waste with renting and the option to purchase a keepsake! Brittany spent time talking to me so many times about questions I had and was incredibly patient! With the custom bouquet, I was able to upload inspiration photos and she NAILED it! The shipping process was so seamless as well. Brittany provided the tracking numbers and thorough instructions on receiving and then returning the flowers. I pride myself on getting ALL the flowers returned in record time (Brittany said) ;) All of our guests couldn’t believe the flowers were fake and everyone was raving about them!

I cannot recommend Autumn enough! From our first meeting to the day of, she was lovely to work with and took the time to truly understand the vibe we wanted for our wedding. I had a hard time articulating exactly what I was looking for, but she was so patient and skilled at asking the right questions to pull out the details that mattered. I didn't have one specific inspiration photo to base things off of, but a general vibe we were going for, and she nailed it! She had great suggestions, and truly brought our vision to life in a way I couldn't have even imagined.

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!
