Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.9

  • Florist
  • Serves De Soto, IL

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.

My daughter’s wedding was last Friday and it was absolutely perfect. We ordered flowers a few weeks before the wedding and got our first box no problem. The second box with the rest of the order was coming from a different location and UPS made a mistake with our address. If made me so nervous and I thought we are not going to have time to put flowers together but luis stepped in and resolved this situation very professionally. We got our flowers the same day and I can’t thank him enough for acting quickly and being incredibly helpful all they way. All of the flowers that came in looked great. My friend getting married in a few month and I would highly recommend Moxie Flowers to him and everyone who is having a wedding or any other event. A!!!

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

Awarded Best of Zola
I’ve always loved her work and wanted her as our engagement and wedding photographer. My (at the time boyfriend) knew this long before we got engaged, so he surprised me with our proposal by asking her to capture that special moment on camera. Even though Lacie was unable to due to her schedule, she still sent someone she trusted to take the pictures in place of herself despite it being last minute. She really goes above and beyond when it comes to ensuring full satisfaction. We of course did a fun, spicy and romantic engagement session not long after our proposal and she did our wedding pictures. Lacie really knows all the right angles and don’t be shy to show her ideas of what you like ! We plan on using her for all of our future photoshoots and 100% recommend her to everyone.

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Abby made my wedding day pictures a breeze. I had nothing to worry about and it made my life that much easier for my big day. Since then we had signed up as clients for life and have gotten updated pictures for my family twice a year! It’s so nice to be able to do those things and know the quality I will get is fantastic. Also makes it nice and easy to get updated pictures without a hassle!

We also didn't want to spend thousands of dollars on flowers that would only last a day. We stumbled upon wood flowers and discovered Wood and Word Blooms! Working with Jen was wonderful and seamless. She helps you every step of the way to figure out what you would like. The DIY class was so much fun, and we were able to build all of our centerpieces, boutonnières, and bouquets. Jen also built my cascade bouquet and beautiful garland for us!

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property.

From timeless classics to modern trends, our talented and passionate beauticians are here to bring your vision to life. We offer makeup artistry, hair styling, and beauty assistance with a specialized team for all special events covering South & Central Florida, Dallas, along with Chicago and surrounding suburbs.

Kiss This Makeup was amazing! Jenna Marie and her team are wonderful, talented, friendly and fun. I was lucky enough to spend my engagement session, wedding trial and wedding day with Jenna. She ensured that I felt beautiful each time while also ensuring that my hair and makeup held up. Air brush is the way to go in south Florida, especially in humid June. On the day of, Matt, Mahroza, Tabitha, Illana and Diana ensured the bridal party and mother of the bride and groom felt their best. All of their makeup still looked fresh at 2AM! I booked Jenna Marie for the one-on-one bridal concierge service. She spent 3 hours providing me a relaxing hair and make-up experience and then stayed a few hours as well to touch up my hair and makeup, while also fixing my train and ensuring I was put together for all pictures (even bringing me extra water and a drink!) The biggest bonus is that she took many behind the scenes photos and videos and shared them on Instagram, which was amazing to see since it’s months before we receive day off pictures. Communication and schedules were spot on! All of the admin and staff are kind and easy to work with. Hair and makeup exceeded all my expectations. I would rate Kiss This Makeup a 10/10! I hope I have another event in which I can book them again soon!

I looked at SO MANY wedding videos and they were all so similar and cookie cutter. They were lacking something but I couldn’t put my finger on it. THEN I FOUND JIMMY SHIN. I watched his videos and found myself sobbing at strangers videos! He made me feel like I knew the bride and groom after just 7 minutes. He's so good! Jimmy will take your wedding video and turn it into the most beautiful story. The video he made for us just so beautifully captured my husband and I's day! It's a video i'll cherish for the rest of my life. I can't wait for our kids to be able to watch it. UGH, seriously hire this man and you won't regret it. Best wedding money we spent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?viVAKZzODr6E

Jana Blue Photography (Photo + Film)

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves De Soto, IL

My name is Jana Blue and I've been photographing weddings for 10 years. I'm consistent not in a trend of photos or style, but emotions. Each wedding and couples are so unique and my work follows that. In my career I've photographed both big production weddings and also intimate DIY ones. I've photographed informal engagements and elopements/weddings in a desert in Chile, in the mountains of Zion, in a beach in Croatia, in an ancient church in Greece and in forests in Brazil. I work with all different budgets and needs from my brides. I'm a preferred vendor of Chicago First Lady Boat, so I do weddings on the boat during the summer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jana is an exceptional photographer and a great entertainer during all our photo sessions. Over the last month, she captured the best day of my life. The way she can convey the joy, happiness, and love we felt in an image is remarkable. She also has a gift for making people feel at ease and letting their personalities shine through. I am so thankful for choosing her, and we will treasure her images for the rest of our lives

Let's face it, every couple needs wedding planning help and traditional full-blown wedding planning is super expensive! At The Venlist, we're providing a modern way for busy couples to get wedding planning help at a price point that fits their budget from coast to coast.

Awarded Best of Zola
I worked with Brittany from The Venlist on a series of styled shoots in Washington, DC. I can't say enough good things about this virtual wedding planning business. Brittany was organized, thoughtful, timely in communication, professional, and extremely calm under pressure. As a wedding photographer, I've worked with many wedding vendors and can recognize when an event is set up for success. Successful wedding planners need skills in time management, communication, and attention to detail. With The Venlist, all of these areas exceeded my expectations. I'd be happy to work with this business again, and I will be recommending them to my friends/clients in the DMV area. Do yourself a favor and reach out to Brittany with your business inquiry!

Working in the wedding industry for over 10 years as a bridal makeup artist I specialize in Natural & Soft Glam wedding makeup thus being preferred by brides looking for classy, timeless and natural looks and being awarded many different certificates and accolades throughout the years.

I had the absolute pleasure of having Cristal as the hair & makeup artist for my recent wedding, and I cannot express how incredible she was throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, Cristal went above and beyond in her preparation, ensuring that every detail was meticulously planned. She took the time to understand exactly what each of us wanted, listening carefully to our visions and bringing them to life flawlessly. On the day of the wedding, Cristal's dedication truly shone through. She was not only professional and skilled but also incredibly warm and personable, making everyone feel at ease. She even provided thoughtful touch-up kits, which were a lifesaver and kept us looking flawless throughout the event. Cristal quickly became more than just our makeup artist; she became a friend. Her passion and talent are evident in every stroke of her brush, and I would highly recommend her to anyone considering a makeup artist for their special day. Thank you, Cristal, for making our wedding day so beautiful and memorable!
