I cannot recommend Carly, owner of Mod & Mae, enough. She was absolutely amazing and created the most STUNNING set of whimsical, dahlia-centric bouquets for our wedding. I’m still looking at photos of them because of how obsessed I am. We were really budget conscious with our flowers and she worked with us to help envision how we could repurpose bouquets for table decor and stayed for hours to ensure they got placed in the most elegant way post-ceremony. I feel like many of my friends had florists who just dropped their flowers off and left but Carly stayed to help ensure everything was perfect. Carly you are a ray-of-sunshine thank you for everything!

  • Starts at $2,700
  • Serves Aurora, OR

Hello!! My name is Jessi and I've been designing gorgeous flowers for weddings and events for over 14 years now. I absolutely LOVE working with beautiful flowers but my favorite part of being a floral designer is getting to know you, so I can make sure that your flowers will tell your story.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jessi and Tall Drink of Water Floral Design was the best florist we could have ever hoped for. We had a super vague idea of colors and flower types we wanted and Jessi took those and made them into a stunning reality for our wedding. She provided clear pricing options from the beginning, always replied to inquiries quickly, and helped with many suggestions and ideas for us to spice it up. Additionally, our parents wanted to create some centerpieces for the rehearsal dinner and Jessi helped come up with the design and sold our parents some greens for it. On the day of she was flexible, did a great job setting up, and beautifully handed off our plethora of bouquets and boutonnieres. I look forward to getting florals from her again soon and recommend her to everyone for their weddings events!

Something Borrowed Blooms 

4.9

  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Aurora, OR

Thousands of brides across the United States and Canada have trusted Something Borrowed Blooms to provide the perfect flowers for their wedding day. We offer brides the expensive peonies, delicate ranunculus, out-of-season anemones, and the ever-impossible-to-find-magnolia — all at a fraction of the cost.

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 

4.8

  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Aurora, OR

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 highly recommend Flower Moxie!!! The flowers were amazing quality and I even had them delivered on time for a wedding three days after Christmas! I received my flowers 5-6 days in advance due to the holiday, and they still held up a few days after the wedding! The customer service was amazing, especially Alexa! She went out of her way to make sure she could help throughout any point of the service. She was very quick to respond and was very kind and sweet to work with! I highly recommend Flower Moxie and Alexa to help you with your flowers for any event! :)

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 had the absolute best experience with The Faux Bouquets. The flowers were absolutely stunning for my wedding. The owner, Brittany, was so kind and even called me to make sure my wedding wouldn't be affected by Hurricane Helene. Thankfully, my area was not affected, but I just really felt that was a special kindness that needs to be called out. But again, the quality of the bouquets, micro sprays and greenery was so great and photographed so well! And all at a fraction of the cost of real flowers that would have just been thrown away at the end of the night! The delivery and return process couldn't have been simpler! And I loved my husband and I got to customize and keep my bouquet and his boutonniere during a promotional add-on! Thank you again, Brittany and The Faux Bouquets, for helping make our wedding so beautiful!

Hi, I'm Christin! Let's create something amazing! I have been a floral designer since 2006, when I got my start as the florist for Albertsons. Now, I am a freelance floral designer with a home studio. I am able to create everyday arrangements, memorial pieces, installations, and wearables, but enjoy weddings and events the most. Letting my creativity flow into large installments, such as arbor pieces, is my favorite thing to do! I mainly serve the Willamette Valley and Portland area but I am willing to travel!

Awarded Best of Zola
FloralMinds Designs was one a few florists recommended to me by Merrime Bridal while purchasing my wedding dress. Christin and I set up a phone call for an initial consultation and before I knew it we had been on the phone for an hour. Christin is easy to talk to and immediately understood my vision for the wedding. We exchanged multiple calls and emails throughout the wedding planning process where she offered her own suggestions and professional input to bring that vision of mine to life. Every piece she put together was absolutely beautiful, a few of my favorites being the bridal bouquets, sweetheart table, and wedding cake flowers. I highly recommend FloralMinds Designs!

We are a mother /daughter duo who nearly spend every waking minute thinking about, dreaming up and planning beautiful ways to celebrate love with flowers and creating dreamlike immersive guests experiences.

My husband and I could not have been more pleased with the beautifully created space Merry designed and executed for our wedding! We were married in our contemporary church, a challenging space to develop intimacy and gentle beauty. After consulting with Merry, we immediately felt she comprehended our vision. We quickly moved forward with a floral color palette and she offered helpful design advise, developing a floral arch on the buffet table which we used on the stage. The result was whimsical, romantic and created a lovely backdrop for our photos. My bouquet brought tears to my eyes, just the right touch of color to accent my ivory dress. We highly recommend Merry and Flora, start to finish our expectations were met and exceeded, eliminating stress and creating memories of our special day which we will always treasure!

Katie was a breeze to work with! I am not big on real flowers and wanted something that would represent my husband and I. Her prices are comparable to real flowers and are even more lovely! I love that her flower designs mimic real flowers and that foliage was an option. She took the care to make sure I had what I wanted and sent me multiple pictures during the process and of the finished result before we picked them up for the wedding. She accepted my feedback and made changes to the bouquets to match my vision. I still have my bouquet and my husbands boutonniere as keepsakes that remind me of our special day.
