Boom & Bloom

  • Serves Proctorsville, VT

As a little boy from Mexico, I spent countless hours helping my grandmother in her flower shop, where I first discovered the magic of design and the way flowers can tell a story. Boom & Bloom’s floral style is unapologetically abundant, artistic, and designed to make a statement.

Arturo has been with us since he was 18, and we have seen him grow in so many ways. He is extremely friendly and all of the guests always love him. He is dedicated and highly focused on the details, and that commitment shines through in both his team and his floral designs. We’ve worked with many florists and the property has never been adorned with so many beautiful and unique arrangements. For Agatha & Bartek’s wedding, the entire estate was filled with breathtaking flowers all weekend long. From the rehearsal dinner to the wedding day and after day brunch. The tent was alive with vibrancy, and the way he incorporates flowers, even weaving them seamlessly with trees, is truly stunning. He is a true artist with an eye and vision to create something truly unique and special for each couple. We can’t wait to see what he does in the near future!

Each design is thoughtfully curated to create a cohesive, elevated look from ceremony to reception.

Awarded Best of Zola
Something Borrowed Blooms provided the most lifelike and luxurious floral arrangements for our wedding day. The bouquets, ceremony pieces and boutonnieres were all incredibly realistic and high quality, with vibrant colors and lush textures that exceeded our expectations. In fact, as my husband and I were taking photos in a park, a bee even tried to pollinate my bouquet, drawn to its beauty and realism. Getting the boxes to the venue did require a bit of coordination, but with a little help from friends we were able to easily box them up the day after the wedding and ship them off via FedEx. We saved easily 2,000 thanks to Something Borrowed and you would never know the flowers were fake.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.9

  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Proctorsville, VT

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.

The BEST most nerve wracking decision we made for our big day!!! I was so nervous to go this route but trusted my gut and I’m so glad I did. FM was incredible at walking me through the process and the full service package is worth WAY more than what you pay for it. I felt incredibly prepared for flower arrival from all the phone calls, videos, and paperwork they sent including detailed recipes and schedule for the week. We had some hiccups with Hurricanes and delayed shipping. They called me to initially tell me they would be a day early. Then when they didn’t arrive called again and explained they’d been held up in customs(obviously no ones fault). They then sent out an entire extra box of blooms to be sure we got everything we needed. Flowers were beautiful!!! Spending time with my sisters and family putting them together was truly the most fun wedding prep. My guests and coordinator truly couldn’t believe we had done all our own flowers, and the best part??! We saved ourselves literally thousands!! We would recommend FM to anyone for any occasion anytime.

I have had hands on experience from Floral Arts in Westford, MA and have completed over 75 weddings in my time as a floral designer. I have a little intern named Larry, a corgi-pit mix, who is the model for Little Blooms, who you will see a lot of on Instagram.

Working with Little Blooms for our wedding florals was such a joy. I wish we could do it all over again tomorrow! Danielle was so easy to chat with along our planning journey and took the time to create the perfect floral game plan for our special day. She was patient and flexible as our plans evolved, took our floral inspiration and put an even more gorgeous spin on it, and brought so much life and magic to our wedding space. It truly felt like we were planning with our best friend who was honest about what would work/what wouldn't look so great while helping us stay within budget and maximize the look and feel of our florals. We couldn't have imagined a more beautiful day if we tried! We're so grateful for Danielle's incredible work and highly recommend Little Blooms to any couple looking for a top-notch florist experience.

Emily was a pleasure to work with. She helped me make tweaks to our tablescape and florals leading up to the wedding to match our vision perfectly! We were so excited when we entered the reception area to beautiful bud vases and cozy light from candles along the tables. It set a lovely atmosphere for our dinner.

I wish there were more than 5 stars to give! I can't overstate how much I recommend Flowers by Jennifer. Jennifer has a gift for what she does, not just in creating gorgeous flower arrangements, but in her ability to work with a couple to truly understand what they want, even if perhaps the bride doesn't know herself, which was my case! She is professional, communicative, and extremely knowledgeable in her field. And maybe more importantly she is kind and a joy to work with. I never felt pressure or stress, she was always so positive. Jennifer asked thoughtful questions to ensure I was getting exactly what I wanted on my big day. I often gave her contradictory inspiration pictures and ideas, and she was able to sift through it all and, combined with my answers to her questions, create the most beautiful flower arrangements and bouquets I and my guests have ever seen. My family still talks about how beautiful the flowers were at my wedding. I will absolutely use Flowers by Jennifer for any and all of my flower needs going forward.

June Farm 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Proctorsville, VT

We specialize in organically styled weddings and events of all sizes, using only flowers that we grow or forage from our Charlotte 5+ acre farm. Our approach embraces the beauty of big flowering branches, woody shrubs, grasses, and wildflowers, all artfully combined with our seasonal farm-grown favorites like Lisianthus, Dahlias, Ranunculus, Cosmos, and Sweet Peas. We prioritize showcasing what each season offers, helping clients to connect their unique celebrations to the essence of that time of year. There is a distinct beauty in flowers that bloom in their natural season, and we are committed to highlighting that in our designs.

We booked June Farm for our October 2025 wedding and are still blown away by how gorgeous our florals were! Even though our wedding was in the fall, our color palette was very spring, and I was worried there wouldn't be enough of those shades during that time of year. Brooke, the owner, assured there definitely would be, and she was right - our day was full of light pinks and bright oranges with a pop of blue! I'll be honest, I didn't care too much about the specifics of florals on our wedding day - just that we had some and they didn't look horrible. If this is you, definitely book with Brooke as she can turn the littlest of instruction into your exact vision you didn't even know you had. The one request I had was a hanging garland behind our head table, and I sent Brooke one inspo pic and she nailed it. What I loved most about our arrangements were how natural everything looked! I absolutely hate when florals look like a big pom-pom and was thrilled to see that ours looked whimsical yet professional. We had so many guests compliment them throughout the night! Definitely don't hesitate to book with June Farm if you're thinking about it!!

Wintertide Floral 

5.0

  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Proctorsville, VT

My foundation in floral design began on a small flower farm in Vermont over 10 years ago, where I immersed myself in the full lifecycle of the work—planting, harvesting, and arranging blooms directly from the field. That experience shaped my style: deeply seasonal, textural, and guided by an intuitive understanding of form and color. My aesthetic is loose and intentional, layered with luxurious texture and touched by a sense of intentional wildness. A steward of sustainable design, I avoid floral foam and plastics, and aim to use local materials wherever I can to have the lightest footprint on our planet possible.

Jenny’s florals for my wedding were an absolute dream, she completely nailed my vision within my budget and I couldn’t have gone with a better florist. Her work is stunning and I received non-stop compliments on her beautiful and unique arrangements. She totally understood my color scheme and vibe, and everything, especially the bridal bouquet, was perfection!! And to top it all off, Jenny is a wonderful and kind person to work with. 110% recommend!
