Lisa Marie is a very friendly person, from the moment we met I felt confident that this was going to be the most beautiful wedding. My daughter left all wedding decision's to me, and when the flowers arrived the tent came alive with color, scents, and beauty.

We used Glitzed Events for our wedding florals and they did a fantastic job! Nicole went above and beyond before we even chatted on the phone, quickly putting together a concept board of the wedding florals just from a Pinterest board I had sent. It was exactly what I was envisioning and I knew I wanted to work with her simply by her going the extra mile from day one. When we did have the initial conversation, Nicole took her time getting to know us and our style, and explained her whole process and answered any questions we had. She helped us stay within our budget while still providing high quality, creative and beautiful florals. The day of the wedding, Nicole hand delivered the personal florals and showed us the correct ways to hold the bouquets. Everyone was complimenting how beautiful and elegant the flowers were, and how well they tied together the entire wedding vision. I would 100% recommend Nicole and Glitzed Events!

Beth was communicative, caring and provided great guidance for me as a bride who didn't have her wedding planned in her mind since she was young. I had general ideas of what I imagined, but she really created the perfect portfolio for us. She had our best interest in mind when we reviewed costs and was always finding a way to make sure my vision became reality. Not only did she provide the most beautiful ceremony arch, bouquet and sweetheart table display, she helped me choose what colors and styles in the stationary that would complement my color scheme. I would absolutely recommend her to any bride in the Hudson valley. She goes above and beyond! Lauren & Tyler, 10.18.2024

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.

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

Now, Dean Street Daisies has blossomed into a full-service floral and event design studio on the Hudson River in Irvington, NY where I live and create in a converted chapel with my husband and two cats!

Karina was incredible. She had the very difficult task of doing our florals in the middle of winter right after a snow storm. She managed to make it work and make it more beautiful than we imagined. She also built a custom chuppah for us to match the wood tones of our venue. 10/10 would recommend.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Tarrytown, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
This was by far one of the best decisions and money savers I could’ve done for myself. The flowers were top quality, beautiful, and we had a blast putting them together with our family. Flower Mocie is simple and they have videos that will help you prepare in advance for your vision and piecing your bouquets together. I was quoted 5000 for florals by other vendors, but with flower moxie and a little creativity, we only spent 500 to cover 12 bouquets and 16 boutonnières. HIGGLY RECOMMEND

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 at Fountainhead Floral Design was absolutely incredible to work with. From the beginning, she created a vision board that captured exactly what I was hoping for and was so personable and easy to collaborate with throughout the process. I trusted her with creative control, and she truly shined. She brought my vision to life in a way that exceeded anything I could have imagined. We were married on 9.13.25 at Eolia Mansion, and despite a very tight setup window, Kate and her team executed everything perfectly. My wedding bouquet was absolutely stunning and exactly what I dreamed of. Every floral detail felt thoughtful and intentional. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience, and I would recommend Kate and Fountainhead Floral Design without hesitation to anyone looking for a florist who is creative, professional, and truly talented.

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!!!

Isabel truly exceeded expectations. I knew next to nothing about flowers going into this experience. When Isabel presented the initial inspiration design board for the wedding, I made a couple of comments of things I liked and did not like. Isabel took all that feedback, and some inspiration photos I emailed her, and truly made the most beautiful wedding flowers in the world! She was also very fun, professional, and low stress, which enabled me to feel comfortable providing the initial comments and getting the flowers of my dreams for the actual wedding day. Isabel also added fun fruit and candles to the the table, creating an experience my guests are still discussing to this day.

From the very first email exchange to the final moments of our wedding day, Lorrie at Style & Vine exceeded every expectation we had. As a bride who values organization and attention to detail, I can confidently say that Lorrie is the essence of professionalism and artistry. Lorrie's communication throughout our 8-month planning process was exceptional. She was incredibly responsive, patient with our questions, and proactive in addressing potential challenges. When we needed to adjust our timeline from noon to 11:00 AM just weeks before the wedding, she graciously accommodated our request without hesitation. Working with our "white classic" theme, Lorrie created beautiful arrangements that perfectly captured our vision. Her centerpieces featuring white hydrangeas, roses, baby's breath, and stock were wonderful. The mix of large arrangements and bud vase clusters created beautiful dimension on our tables. The six chuppah arrangements on varying height pedestals were gorgeous and precisely what we had envisioned. Lorrie demonstrated remarkable flexibility when we made last-minute requests, including providing fresh flowers for our faux cake decoration at no additional cost. She suggested repurposing our chuppah arrangements for the sweetheart table, helping us stay within budget while maintaining the elegant aesthetic we wanted. Her ability to incorporate the bud vases and flameless votives we provided showed her collaborative spirit and creativity. On our wedding day, Lorrie arrived promptly and worked seamlessly with our wedding assistant. Her setup was flawless, and every arrangement was perfectly positioned. The personal flowers - including my bridal bouquet with white garden roses and dahlias, the matron of honor bouquet, boutonnieres, and corsages - were absolutely perfect and photo-ready for our morning family session. Lorrie provided detailed quotes, clear contracts, and transparent pricing throughout the process. She included complimentary votive candles and was upfront about all costs, with no surprise fees. Her pricing was fair for the exceptional quality and service provided. If you're looking for a florist who combines artistic talent with exceptional service, look no further than Lorrie and Style & Vine. She made our dream wedding décor a reality and was an absolute pleasure to work with. We cannot recommend her highly enough! Johanny & David The Juniper at Vanderbilt, Westbury, NY August 16, 2025

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.
