I wasn’t able to articulate exactly what I wanted for my bouquet and our big ceremony florals, and yet Daisy seemed to read my mind and knocked it out of the park. We got tons of compliments from our guests on our flowers, too! I can’t recommend Stormbrew Farms enough!

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Rural Retreat, VA

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 absolutely loved my experience using Flower Moxie. I was nervous about doing my own wedding flowers at first, but their team made me so comfortable. I was even able to do the grounded floral arch I wanted and my own bouquets and boutonnieres. Alexa helped me add flowers to my order and made sure everything was perfect for my big day. Thank you so much, Alexa! I'll be sure to refer all my friends to Flower Moxie!!

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

When I started my vendor search journey for my wedding, I was unsure if I wanted a videographer in addition to my photographer or if having pics would be enough for me to remember the day. But I am so glad I chose to have a videographer as well and extremely pleased with JR Murray Productions. I made quite a search for a videographer, reviewing costs, example videos, style of work, etc. I came across JR Murray Productions and reached out. It wasn't just his natural style that drew me in, but also his willingness to travel 2 hours to my venue and the incredibly reasonable/fair prices. Jeremy was so pleasant to work with -- All of our interactions were friendly, timely, and he was always happy to hear my thoughts or opinions to make my day as smooth and comfortable as possible. During the day of, he made sure to get candid clips as well as some "posed" moments to make the full video really come together. Receiving the full video was so exciting. One of the reasons I chose Jeremy as our videographer was because he offered a full length "movie" type video of 60-90 minutes. This was exactly what we were looking for in order to relive the full day years down the road. It included our whole ceremony, speeches, and so much of the fun from the reception. Overall, I highly recommend hiring a videographer for your wedding and choosing JR Murray Porductions for that role! It makes reliving the day so special. I can't thank Jeremy enough for how well the video turned out, the time and effort put into it, and how friendly he was to work with throughout my entire planning process and wedding day.

DJ Touche absolutely crushed it for our Garden Party style wedding and exceeded every expectation we had! We needed someone who could keep a calmer vibe while remaining in the background a little bit and he made this day absolutely perfect! Outside of the Bride, the DJ was the most talked about part of our wedding and how great everything went with him, his setup, and the vibes!

HEY! I'M ASHLEY! Aka, Your Professional third wheel! I am so happy you dropped by! I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts! (But I mean who isnt! I just cant help it!) FUN FACT: I speak switzerdütsch, aka a German slang. My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

From the moment we met Ashley Cynthia Photography, we knew we had found our perfect wedding photographer. Their communication style was fun and enjoyable, with constant banter that put us at ease. Ashley and her crew were fantastic, always making sure we were on top of the timeline and getting the exact photos we wanted. They brought out the best in us in every single shot, capturing all the special moments of our day. From Day 1, Ashley passed our vibe check instantly and was always just a text, email or call away, giddy about our nifty and crazy ideas. Her team was incredibly flexible, and we had an absolute blast working with them. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and videographer to document our wedding - they truly made the experience unforgettable.

Lotus Events, LLC was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication was clear, precise, timely, and effective throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work was truly impeccable - flawless, discreet, and highly detailed. Katie and her team kept all of our vendors and the wedding party on task, providing invaluable emotional support when we needed it most. We couldn't have pulled off our special day without them. Lotus Events went above and beyond to ensure our wedding was perfect in every way. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for a dedicated, professional wedding planning team. I know myself, I could not have pulled off my wedding of 200 guests without them. Kind of sad my wedding is over, and my work with them is done!!!! Can not sing their praises enough.

Waters Productions did amazing work capturing our wedding video in August 2024! From the moment we met them, Rachel and Alan (and later Emily) were both friendly and thorough, making sure they got all the little details from us. They were communicative throughout the process, and on the big day they were perfect: calm in the initial chaos, smiling and laughing with the rest of us, and somehow capturing every important moment. The preview video we got from them shortly after the wedding was a great taste of what was to come, and we couldn't be happier with the full, beautiful video they produced for us. All in all, we loved working with them and highly recommend them!
