Glitzed Events was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding florals. Nicole and her team were incredibly responsive, creative, and attentive to every detail throughout the planning process. I had a very specific vision for a gothic Victorian theme with black and white florals, and Nicole brought that vision to life perfectly. She worked closely with me to explore different options and make changes as needed. The morning of the wedding, I asked for a last-minute change to my bouquet and Nicole was so quick and responsive to make the adjustment. The final florals were truly stunning - it was like stepping into a dream. I cannot recommend Glitzed Events highly enough for the exceptional quality of work they provided. They played a huge role in making our wedding day absolutely perfect.

Ive known Lisa and the team at Central Florist since I was little, so choosing them was a no brainer, as they have always DELIVERED on every order we've made. However, I can not say enough amazing things about the flowers Lisa created for my wedding. From the table runners, to our arch, the flowers for our groomsmen, bridesmaids, parents, and myself.....I was blown away. My bouquet was absolutely perfect and had all of the touches I had asked for and more. I couldn't recommend Central Florist enough, not only for the quality of the work but for the quality of the owner and employees. They truly made my bridal dreams come true!

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! After being hired to make bouquets and centerpieces for a friend's wedding in 2016, floral arranging became a passion for me! I am currently enrolled in the Certificate in Floral Design program at the New York Botanical Garden. I LOVE exploring the Hudson Valley, spending time with my family, playing sports and staying active, reading, board games, DIY crafts, sketching, old buildings and mojitos!

Maple Field Floral was a delight to work with a created beautiful arrangements for our wedding. Albelisa worked with us to iron out our preferences and helped us to understand what would be in season for our wedding. We had a floral arch, bouquets, boutonnieres, and center pieces - all that were so well done and even better than we imagined. It was also great to be able to get candles and other decor through Maple Field Floral, so we didn't have to worry about anything on our day. All of the flowers were delivered and set up prior to our arrival at our venue, so they were all there and set up for our pre-wedding photos, which helped us keep to our schedule for the day. The clean up and communication with the venue also went smoothly. Hiring Maple Field Floral is an excellent choice for your event.

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

Dean Street Daisies was a dream to work with for our wedding florals. From the start, Karina was straightforward and considerate in their communication, ensuring we were on the same page every step of the way. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - the beautiful, creative arrangements they put together for our wedding ceremony and reception looked like something out of a magazine. The chuppah and all the fall-inspired florals they set up were simply stunning, exceeding our expectations and leaving our guests in awe. We found Karina through a Reddit recommendation and her pricing was very reasonable compared to other florists we had looked into. We're so grateful to the Dean Street Daisies team for helping make our special day look and feel exactly as we had envisioned. Highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding!

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

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 used the Full Monty package for my wedding. Flowers were something I wasn’t looking to spend 10-12k on. Through my calls with the flower moxie team they clearly and efficiently helped me stay within budget and provide my dream florals. I began my arrangements on Friday and transported them 1 and a half hours away and had very very minimal flower loss. My bridesmaids and I made our bouquets the night before and what a beautiful memory. I would recommend flower moxie for anyone looking for a fun diy, beautiful flowers, and budget friendly items.

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).

Our wedding day was everything and way better than was imagined and our florals from Fountainhead were breathtaking! I gave Kate some inspo pictures and what actually arrived that morning, was better than imagined! Many of our pictures take place in front of barrels and the colors from the bouquet just elevates everything! All of our guests commented on how amazing and unique our florals were. I can't thank the team enough for bringing my vision for my wedding to life!

Working with Jen for our October 2025 wedding was AMAZING!! From the moment we sent in an online inquiry, Jen was attentive, responsive, thoughtful, and incredibly detail oriented. She got us set up with a project planning doc immediately, and she was SO patient with us even when we were annoyingly indecisive about our vision lol. She met with us via Zoom to answer all of our questions when we were struggling to finish the document (and she is just as thorough and helpful via Zoom as she is via email). Once we placed our final order, Jen was communicative and thorough about the process of what happened next in terms of pickup, payment, etc. When we picked up our flowers, we were ASTOUNDED by how beautiful they were. I mean, we knew they would be beautiful, but truly, WOW. Aside from bouquets & boutonnieres, we also got garlands to use as centerpieces for our guests’ farmhouse tables, as well as small wooden circle magnets with a flower on top (we wood burned the j c into them ourselves) to use as favors. And they all looked incredible. An employee at our venue said that our decor was “the best she’s ever seen this place look,” and a large part of our decor was these flowers. I cannot recommend Jen and Wood and Word Blooms ENOUGH!!! PS bouquet photo is from today (1/5/26)!! The longevity is insane!

Heather and Jay were incredible to work with. I truly cannot thank them enough. Heather did full decor for my whole wedding weekend. I had an Indian wedding so there were TONS of design needs (frankly more than I thought), and Heather accommodated every request and was so helpful through all the planning. We would have check-in phone calls, and she would walk us through spreadsheets with every tiny decor detail recorded. She was also very helpful with planning and was upfront about everything, gave us options to work through any budgeting/feasibility concerns, and helped with a lot of that wedding decision fatigue. Her husband Jay was instrumental in some of the more elaborate things we asked for, like balconies draped in greenery and a mandap stage. They did two site visits with us for our peace of mind so we could get every detail hammered out. Heather also made lots of great suggestions when I was out of my depth and coordinated with our venue. On the weekend of, I saw her once or twice but otherwise just trusted her absolutely to execute. And the actual decor! It was BEAUTIFUL. She turned our reception hall and outdoor wedding tent into a lush, colourful flower wonderland. We had a rustic barn onsite, and she draped the roof with poms and disco balls. She also used bright colours and dried flowers to brighten the indoors. Her husband Jay custom built us wooden pools for a Hindi haldi ceremony. Our wedding mandap was covered in beautiful roses, and it was magical to get married under. Each space felt distinct and memorable but all beautiful crafted. I could tell a lot of love and thought went into every part. Do not hesitate to book with Cullen Creations. You are in incredible hands. As a bride, I worried and hoped that my vendors would treat my special day which as much care as I was putting in. With Heather, I never had a doubt. She made all my needs feel heard and ultimately made magic happen.

We had the absolute pleasure working with Isabel for our Prospect Park Boathouse wedding. We knew from the start that florals were going to play a big role in our wedding, and we wanted a specific style as well. My planner recommended Isabel and going with her was the best decision. Isabel is incredibly friendly and professional, always available to give feedback and bounce ideas off of. I gave her my inspo board and she really, truly understood my vision. The mood boards she provides also helped me convey the wedding theme with other vendors as well. I'll never forget seeing my dreams come to life in front of my eyes on our wedding day.

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.
