The Flower Petal 

4.4

  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Massillon, OH

Hi! My name is Andrea and I'm the owner and lead designer here at The Flower Petal! I've been in this industry for about 7 years and I absolutely love what I do. I would describe my design style as loose/organic with a mix of whimsical and romantic. I LOVE color and getting the chance to work with more unique color palettes is my absolute favorite thing!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Flower Petal was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From our first interaction, Andrea and her team were incredibly timely, thorough, and friendly in their communication. Their floral design was truly visionary - the bouquets, centerpieces, and ceremony decor they created were Pinterest-board worthy and absolutely stunning. They were true floral experts, paying meticulous attention to every detail to bring our vision to life. Andrea and her team were punctual for set up, had the most beautiful arrangements, and even added extra special touches like arranging the bridesmaid bouquets for detail shots and sprinkling extra petals in the ceremony space. They went above and beyond, returning at the end of the evening to collect the rental items so we didn't have to. The Flower Petal provided the best customer experience, were fairly priced, and truly made our wedding day dreams come true.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.9

  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Massillon, OH

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.

This is my second experience with Flower Moxie, and it was just as good if not better than the first time around. I did the flowers for my friends’ kids’ weddings and used Flower Moxie as our primary source, especially for the more unusual flowers. We used another source for some of the filler flowers that was very inexpensive (starts with a C and ends with an o…) and the flowers were inexpensive and plentiful, but not as exciting as the ones available here, the quality was not the same, but the biggest difference is the customer service. We had a few issues with the flowers (I think it would be surprising not to, based on how many and what kind we ordered), and Alexa, Luis, and Mariale were AMAZING with their immediate and helpful support. They rushed out replacements that were perfect, and worked with us to make sure we were 100% happy with everything. Huge shout out to their team - it is very stressful in the days leading up to the big event, and they took a big weight off. If you are unsure about what to get, I highly recommend going with their packages based on color — their recommendations for flowers and amounts are spot on. The videos showing you how to build everything are incredibly helpful and delightfully snarky. I highly recommend!!

She was so communicative with us, really making sure our color and flower design preferences were what we wanted.

David with Rosado Events & Design.... AMAZING...seriously!! I cannot thank David enough, from start to finish, his services, professionalism, knowledge, responsiveness and delivery were more than I could have asked for. He made everything so easy. He made the vision of my wedding florals beyond what I could have ever dreamed of. The centerpieces which were upgraded and elevated beyond my greatest imagination ... were fairytale-like. I was not able to meet him in person through all the craziness the day of BUT David, I hope you read this and know, that you and your team are IT. The first email I read from you (amongst endless vendor emails), I told my fiance, "idk why but I get a feeling he is the one" as he was so professional, personable and likeable in just email that I was ready to move forward with him - after my fiance spoke with him over the phone - he said "I get what you mean". I would also like to mention we planned this wedding in 3 months and he was able to provide services without hesitation like we had been planning for a year. I ordered 23 main table centerpieces, 10 cocktail tables centerpieces, sweetheart table florals, bar florals, 7 bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres .. it was not a simple easy order (in my mind), but he sure made it feel this way. EVERYTHING was above my expectations. David was able to work with varied price points while using his creativity to deliver nothing but exceptional decor. Me and my now husband are blessed to have you complete our dream wedding. Thank you Rosado Events and Design! Garyn and Riz

I have worked with Cherie' for years as a fellow wedding vendor and over the past three years I have used her for two family weddings - mine and my daughter's! Her work is always top notch! The arrangements are beautiful - vivid colors, and their placement is always perfect! You can see all of that from her pictures, but here is what you can't see with your eyes - Cherie' cares more than anyone you will meet. She knows that you have worked so hard to put this wedding together and she won't let the small details get in the way to detract from the day. On my wedding day, the tablecloths provided by another vendor weren't right. This wasn't Cherie's responsibility, but she knew what was supposed to be there from our discussion in relation to the centerpieces. Cherie' made sure that the tablecloths got replaced and were the right length so that everything looked amazing! That's just one of the small behind the scenes things she did at our weddings. You want Cherie's creativity and design and care behind you on your wedding day, I promise! Cherie' has become part of our family and I am so grateful for every interaction I have with her and her family and her team!

I’m Nicole, Owner and Lead Designer of SLF. My path to florals was not conventional, but it was intentional. After 8 years as a probation officer, I had my son, reevaluated my life, and fell in love with the world of floral design. Today, I create elevated floral experiences rooted in romantic palettes, texture, and thoughtful composition. Every bloom is chosen with purpose and must feel right. As a mother, I am ever-conscious of how quickly moments pass. This awareness shapes the way I design by not simply creating arrangements, but helping to frame memories and bring warmth to once-in-a-lifetime celebrations.

Anna and her team recently did all the florals and planning for my wedding - and I cannot rave enough about her and her team!! From the beginning of the planning process, Anna was attentive and detailed in her creative process, and insanely generous with her time. She delivered proposals that helped my vision come to life, and she sat patiently with my parents and I as we tried to navigate the budget and the large size of the wedding itself. Anna held my hand through every process, including picking out linens, meeting with the caterer, and putting me in touch with a day-of coordinator. She did walk throughs with the venue staff when I didn't even know about it, and she pulled strings in directions I didn't know was possible. She arrived on my wedding day with a team as hard working as she is, and despite being under the weather the whole day, she pulled out the most magical floral arrangements, and transformed a large meeting room into a magnificent, romantic, winter wonderland world. My friends and family told me it was one of the most beautiful rooms they had ever seen. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone that asks. Thank you Anna for the most magical and beautiful day!!

We love connecting with our couples and finding out how we can bring their vibe, vision, and wants to life while staying conscious and true to them and their budget. We work closely with you from conception to completion.

First off, I want to say that Diana was amazing to work with during normal circumstances. She was even more amazing to work with during Covid when we had to change our plans four to five times and she was more than flexible and willing to change and go with the flow. She was such a sweet and professional person to work with. Her work is stunning and her talent is such a help when you have a vision and she brings it to life. My wedding was everything I could’ve asked for and more because my flowers, centerpieces, and floral arch were so stunning. Flowers were very important to me and she made all of my dreams come true. When I wasn’t exactly sure she brought in suggestions, pictures, and made everything come together so smoothly and so perfectly. I cannot recommend her enough. I will be using her for all of my floral needs in the future!!
