Something Borrowed Blooms is the premier rent-and-return floral and décor company in the U.S., offering beautifully curated premium silk floral collections. Couples who choose to rent typically save up to 70% compared to the cost of traditional fresh flowers. Our collections include everything you need for your wedding day, from bridal and bridesmaid bouquets to boutonnieres, garlands, centerpieces, aisle markers, cake flowers, swags, flower combs and crowns, wedding décor, and more. Each design is thoughtfully curated to create a cohesive, elevated look from ceremony to reception.

Awarded Best of Zola
Something Borrowed Blooms provided the florals for our wedding and their service was expert, clear, and concise, though lacked any personal touch. The quality of their work was great - the florals looked beautiful, especially from a distance, and they were competitively priced. However, their shipping turnaround time was awful, with the flowers due back just 2 days after the wedding. This is more of a business than a vendor, so don't expect a lot of personalized care. While I ordered more florals than I ended up needing, it was worth it to have the full, lush look I was going for on our special day.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.9 (78 reviews)
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Thompsons Station, TN

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
We chose Flower Moxie for our wedding flowers and couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Their DIY flower packages made it easy for us to create the exact look we wanted without the stress, and the blooms arrived in great condition with clear instructions on how to arrange them. The quality was outstanding – the colors were vibrant and almost everything stayed fresh throughout our wedding day. We saved a ton of money compared to hiring a traditional florist, but honestly, you wouldn't know it from looking at our photos. We'd absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for beautiful flowers without breaking the bank.

  • Serves Thompsons Station, TN

Believe it or not, we often have people ask if our pictures throughout our website are showing a mix of fresh and faux and…no they aren’t! Although fresh florals are pretty, we are totally in love with poser-blooms all the way here and that’s what we design 100% of our orders with.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was so impressed with The Faux Bouquets for our wedding! Brittany, the owner, was incredibly quick to respond, thorough in her communication, and had such a friendly and fun personality. She really went above and beyond to make sure we got the perfect faux floral arrangements for our big day. The quality of their work is truly unique and you can tell they are so passionate about what they do. We were able to take advantage of a special deal on the flowers I wanted, and they even upgraded some of the pieces for free! Compared to other faux floral companies in the area, we were able to get much more for our money. I'm so glad I took the time for the 15 minute consultation with Brittany - it was so helpful to see the items at scale and she customized our order perfectly. Our wedding is not until 2027 but we got them early and I LOVE them. I also like that the suites aren’t cookie cutter so each of my bridesmaids have their own style.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Rainey Day Bouquets 
Rating: 4.1 (7 reviews)

  • Serves Thompsons Station, TN

As I prepare for my own wedding in April of next year, I was taken aback by the exorbitant costs associated with floral arrangements. Quotes ranging from $6,000 to $7,000, with a minimum commitment of $4,000, were simply unfeasible for me. This led me to explore alternative solutions, and I discovered a passion for creating my own florals. I was delighted to find that I had a knack for it! This experience sparked the idea to launch my faux floral rental business, driven by the belief that beautiful wedding florals shouldn't come with an astronomical price tag. My goal is to make stunning arrangements accessible to all.

While I didn’t use her for a wedding — I most certainly will once I get married! Morgan’s floral arrangements are so well done that I asked to purchase some to decorate my home. Her customer service and attention to detail is out of this world. 10/10 recommend.

Florence Florals

  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Thompsons Station, TN

Floral design caught Kaitlyn off guard in the best way. A few years ago, she took a workshop on flower arranging and it was then that something ignited within her. She started creating arrangements and giving them as gifts, taught workshops using those same skills she learned, and used floral arranging as a form of her own self-care. “I love that no two floral arrangements are the same. You can use the same elements in two arrangements, but they’re all one-of-a-kind. Working with flowers is so peaceful, and it brings such joy to create something beautiful and unique." Nashville-based wedding and event florist with a passion for beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
It's evident that Kaitlyn takes pride in her craft as a florist. I've always adored seasonal farm flowers and regularly grab a bouquet from the farmers market for my home. I told Kaitlyn I'd love the same kind of organic shape and mixture of these kinds of spring bouquets and she blew me out of the water when I saw them on my wedding day. She nailed the color scheme and delicacy I had envisioned, and my whole wedding party was stunned at the beauty of the bouquets. She also executed our vision for the arbor flowers and guest tables perfectly — we truly couldn't have been more happy with how it turned out and captured the tone of our wedding. On top of that, she's a great communicator and was always swift to respond to any questions or adjustments.

I first started Gold & Bloom ten years ago with the purpose of bringing joy to other's lives through florals. I was a teacher for six years before taking a leap of faith and starting this beautiful floral business, and I'm so thankful that I did. We now have well over two hundred weddings under our belt, and it's a blessing to be a part of such special moments.

There are truly no words that feel quite right to capture how grateful I am for Jenna and her team at Gold and Bloom. From the very beginning, Jenna was more than just a vendor—she felt like a friend. She is kind, genuine, and so deeply thoughtful, and it was clear from our very first conversation that she truly cares. She listened with such intention, asked questions that helped me dig into what I actually wanted, and turned my jumbled ideas into the MOST stunning florals for my wedding I could have ever dreamed of. Jenna has an incredible gift—not just for flowers, but for people. She’s a true visionary with a calm, reassuring presence, and every interaction with her made me feel more at peace during what can be such a stressful process. She will take time to sit down with you in person and truly dissect what you want your flowers to look like on your big day. She was also so transparent and clear about pricing, options, and expectations, which made me feel empowered and never in the dark. She also will give you different options on ways to use the florals in multiple different ways which will really give you a “bang for your buck” type of experience which is exactly what I was looking for in a wedding florist. On the day of the wedding, she and her team went above and beyond in ways I’ll never forget. They are efficient while also being meticulous , not to mention the nicest people you will ever meet! Every floral detail—from the ceremony to the reception—was executed with care, beauty, and heart. And my bouquet… it was absolutely breathtaking. Jenna truly brought my exact vision to life. The weather was uncertain that day, and I had some anxieties. However I kept looking down at my beautiful bouquet and it grounded me. It reminded me that even in the chaos, beauty always finds its way. Jenna gave me more than flowers—she gave me comfort, confidence, and a little piece of calm in the middle of it all. If you’re considering Gold and Bloom, know this: you’re not just hiring a florist—you’re welcoming someone into your story who will treat it with the care it deserves. I couldn’t be more thankful. Thank you so much to Gold and Bloom for giving me the florals of my dreams!
