Hi! We’re Carly and Meghan, two lifelong friends who share a passion for creativity, beauty, and design. With over 20 years of experience in the wedding industry—Meghan as a florist and artist, and Carly as a photographer and designer - we know just how important every detail is on your special day. We’re excited to work with you to bring your vision to life whether it's a custom fresh flowers, or renting silks from one of our premade collections (or combining both options!), we will ensure that your wedding is a reflection of your unique love story. Let’s create something beautiful together!

The Sage Bouquet was the best florist we could have asked for! Their communication style was absolutely top-notch - they were so responsive and helpful every step of the way. The flowers they provided for our wedding were absolute perfection. They were gorgeous and we received so many compliments from our guests. The Sage Bouquet truly saved the day for us too - our original florist dropped out just a month before the wedding, but The Sage Bouquet was able to book us and help us out within minutes. We are so grateful for their incredible service and beautiful work. I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding!

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.9

  • Starts at $350
  • Serves West Boylston, MA

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 recommend 100% using flower moxie if you want to DIY your flowers. My cousin used them for her wedding and had a great experience so I decided to use for mine as well. I was worried since my wedding was on a Sunday that a Thursday delivery would have my flowers wilting by the time of the actual wedding. It was perfect. The flowers lasted so long. The recipes for the arrangements are easy to follow. Everyone loved my florals and was surprised it was DIY. I would totally use them again.
