“Ms. Tonga is a dream to work with. I gave her the brief “Terracotta theme but not very picky about the specific flowers; Organic and whimsical vibe,” and she made magic. Her rates are very reasonable, which allowed me to get everything I wanted. The florals were absolutely beautiful, she was early at the venue for setup, and she was an absolute joy to work with. She has the warmest personality and is a consummate professional – she reached out to the venue directly as needed in order to make sure that the décor would fit properly. We got so many compliments on the florals at our wedding, and it fit our fall/terracotta theme perfectly. Just go ahead and book her if you’re considering it!”

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

4.9

Starts at $350
Serves Walker, LA

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.

“Flower Moxie completely exceeded my expectations in every way! I ordered their pastels package for my wedding and was blown away by how stunning the flowers were. The blooms were fresh, vibrant, and even more beautiful than I imagined—truly some of the healthiest flowers I’ve ever seen. I was initially curious (and a little nervous) about how the process would work, since I’d never used a service like this before. But from the very beginning, Maria and the Flower Moxie team were incredibly kind, accommodating, and truly went above and beyond. Maria walked me through every step with warmth and thoughtfulness, and made everything feel so easy and stress-free. They really knocked it out of the park. The flowers added so much magic to our day. I used them for our welcome sign, cake, bud vases, and to transform a faux white-and-green arch and floral meadow by adding real, colorful blooms—and the final result was breathtaking. So many guests complimented how beautiful everything looked. I cannot recommend Flower Moxie enough. They’re not just a flower company—they’re a dream team that helps make your vision come to life!”

The Faux Bouquets

5.0

Starts at $175
Serves Walker, LA

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.

“We were so delighted to use The Faux Bouquets for our wedding. We ended up having a family emergency that forced us to downsize the size and budget of the wedding just a few months before the wedding, and the team at TFB were so accommodating and helped us to find a solution that still allowed us to use their flowers in our (modified) ceremony. We were a bit concerned about the flowers getting smushed in shipping, but they arrived looking absolutely STUNNING and with plenty of time before the big day. Even my gardener of a grandma couldn't tell they weren't real flowers! We were so happy with how everything looked on the day, and in pictures they look just as lovely. Can't recommend The Faux Bouquets enough! There's no visual difference compared to real bouquets and they are much more affordable. The last big selling point that I would advise future brides, and I did not really consider this, is that because the flowers don't wilt, we could set the decor out the night before--which is a LIFESAVER to not have to worry about on the special day! Anything that will save you time and stress on the day of the wedding is a big win!”

Poppin’ Peonies Collective creates design-forward wedding florals for couples who want the planning process to feel clear, supported, and thoughtfully guided. We work with couples who value artistry but don’t want to manage every detail — couples who want to feel confident in their decisions without second-guessing how everything will come together. Many of our clients come to us feeling overwhelmed by inspiration overload, unsure how to translate ideas into something cohesive, or worried that what they see in planning won’t match what they experience on the wedding day. Our role is to remove that uncertainty.

“My husband and I were incredibly impressed and absolutely blown away by the floral arrangements put together by Poppin Peonies for our wedding day! We wanted stunning fall colors and 'cozy' vibes and that is exactly what we got! Pretty much all of our guests commented that the flowers were beyond gorgeous and really tied everything together decor-wise. Perhaps most incredible was the mantle piece, which was this dreamy cascade of flowers and greenery installed around the fireplace that was the focal point for both our ceremony and reception. It was more than I had hoped for or expected - simply breathtaking! Poppin Peonies really went above and beyond to make our day perfect! I highly recommend!”

“I had an absolutely amazing experience with Tamara at The Red Experience! Tamara did all the flowers for my wedding. She made my vision come to life, exactly how I’d imagined it! She created this beautiful floral arch for the gazebo that was absolutely jaw-dropping. She also designed and built gorgeous hanging hoops of flowers. They definitely added a special touch. Of course, Tamara did all the bouquets, boutonnières, and wrist corsages. It was all perfect! My husband especially loved the boutonnières because they looked great, but weren’t too bulky and cumbersome. We didn’t have to worry about flowers tugging on shirts or flopping over. The results were great, but the process of working with Tamara was lovely as well. She took the time to meet with me multiple times over the planning process, and as an extremely stressed out bride, Tamara helped me SO MUCH by walking me through everything. She really simplified the process. Fantastic job! I would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone who wants show-stopping flowers! Thank you Tamara!”
