Woodsy floral 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Starts at $750
  • Serves Strawn, TX

Woodsy Floral started by accident believe it or not. Flowers have always been a part of my husband and I’s marriage. Every Friday or every other Friday my husband, Lonnie would go get fresh stems from the floral shop down the road from our house. With crazy looks he grabbed them. This turned into me making arrangements for our events. When some of our friends saw these floral arrangements, they asked if we could make more for their events. We had one friend that owns a wedding venue, she brought up becoming a vendor for her brides. Well after a little bit of pressuring from Lonnie, we attended her open house as a floral vendor and LOVED IT.

Awarded Best of Zola
Woodsy Floral did an incredible job with my wedding florals! Everything from the arch to the table arrangements to my bouquet was absolutely stunning. They were my favorite part of the day and I got so choked up looking at everything for the first time. Lonnie and Monica were very professional, kind, and hardworking people and I’m so happy I went with them for the big day.

Mr. Burris was a perfect Event Host for our wedding. He was very flexible when it came to what we wanted for our ceremony and reception. He was also a huge benefit in helping us plan the wedding; he did so by bringing up things we had not considered and also brought a new perspective that helped my wife and I when it came to deciding on microphones and recording for our wedding video. Throughout the planning process, Mr. Burris met with us regularly to discuss our plans, and directly communicated with ourselves, family, wedding coordinator, and all of the vendors involved in our ceremony. During the ceremony, Mr. Burris was punctual, dependable and professional. He arrived to the venue early and set up all equipment without delay. Our ceremony was carried out without audio difficulties and the reception had a great atmosphere thanks to his efforts. We wholeheartedly recommend Black Tie Sounds to everyone looking for a dependable host and DJ for their wedding!

I messaged him and got a response right away asking to meet with him. So we met at a public place and he started going through the wedding plans with me asking questions I had never thought of! Together we came up with a rough timeline of events, he asked what kind of music we liked and if there were any special requests. I told him our relationship was centered around our kids and that including them was very important to us. So he played our music with a little twist of the kids music thrown in there and even held a dance contest for the kids. It was definitely a fun and memorable experience for all of us and I'm so thankful that he took the time to sit with me and listen to what we wanted. Hopefully he'll be available for our next event!

Kate and Rainflorist Designs were so great to work with. I got connected with Kate through my planner Gabi and communication with her was so easy. I could tell from the start that she was very skilled and knowledgeable when it came to all things flowers. She worked with me and my husband on figuring out the best flowers to work (and not work) with due to our allergies. Every little detail was taken care of and I had no worries when it came to my flowers. If people were to ask me how it was going with my florist, I’d say “I trust her 100%.” And she did amazing, we got so many compliments on our bouquets and table flowers! I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone for their wedding day!

We reached out to Michelle in May after getting engaged in February. We were planning for an intimate wedding (7 guests) in October. She responded to our inquiry within a day! Our phone consultation was thorough and she was amenable to negotiating a price that was fair to her and within our budget (we learned through this process that this was a privilege and that most vendors have minimums/charge extra for small weddings.) Michelle helped us to find the best venue and vendors to help our vision of our day come to life. She was flexible and encouraging in helping us to stay true to our values and not be swayed by all of the alternatives on social media. She ensured that we were given choices when it came to each decision and was flexible when we changed our minds. Our wedding day was so peaceful because she was behind the scenes working her magic. She was there for us in a way that made us feel seen and heard all while being a wife, mom and business owner. We highly recommend Michelle for your upcoming wedding and/event planning. She is worth the investment.

Lover of all things music... I fell in love with music when I first heard The Roots -"What They Do! " It captivated me and the beat had me hooked. I started making my own mixtapes and always wanted the music to never end. I continued to play for family and friends and zone out. Until one night with my brother, we spent hours playing classic hip hop and rap hits. I told myself that If i can do this off memory than mixing it together with a database of music would be simple.

DJ Tone was wonderful! He was exceptional during the planning stages and made it so easy to provide our vision for the reception.

You know that moment shortly after the wedding ceremony, when it is just the bride, groom, and photographer taking those sunset pictures? Whether it be on a beautiful rooftop, lush garden, or wide open ranch views, this is my favorite part of a wedding day.

Clean, timeless images paired with the sweetest couples is where I thrive!

Paul was wonderful! We booked him in February 2020 for our October 2020 wedding. He definitely knows what he is doing and is very professional. He has an online questionnaire so you can be as detailed as you want with song selections, genres, etc. He takes EVERYTHING into consideration and worked flawlessly with our wedding coordinator. I was a mostly hands-off bride about specific songs, but we had one (one!) phone call a few weeks before the wedding so he could better gauge my musical tastes, and he took it from there. The actual night was perfect! Despite masks and COVID, we had a pretty energetic dance floor, young and old. One guest even commented on how great the cocktail hour playlist was. On top of all that, Paul is so sweet and friendly and easy to work with! I hate when DJs have over the top performative personalities and always seem to be on the mic, so we were very low-key. Paul understood just what we wanted, worked with us for our style, and gave us the most perfect and memorable night.... for a very reasonable rate too! I highly recommend him to other couples!!

Each vendor reached out personally to us and helped make our visions come to life. Sydnee took care of us as our event coordinator and was so accommodating the entire time. She helped with all of our questions and was always quick with responding to our emails or text messages. Our day of coordinator, Kiana helped make the day run so smoothly which we really appreciated. As I was getting ready, I didn’t have to worry about any of the vendors, decorations, or timing because of how well organized she was and it brought so much relief on a day that is usually hectic. Lastly, but certainly not least, our DJ Aiden was really the star of the show for us and our guests! We got paired up with Aiden through the venue because of his vibe and he provided such a great energy! We got to have a meeting with him about specific songs we wanted and cues and he nailed everything we were looking for from my entrance into the ceremony to the very last song with our guests. He got everyone on the dance floor, it was never empty the entire night. We can’t thank this amazing staff enough!!

Hello everyone! I am a professional makeup artist with over 9 years of experience. I am self taught and I'm very passionate about makeup and the beauty industry. I have worked with all different skin types, skin tones and ages. Love is in the details so I always apply that towards my artistry.

Awarded Best of Zola
Michele did such a fantastic job. I'm typically a pretty low maintenance person- like blow-dried hair and tinted moisturizer are about as glam as I get- so, I really wanted a pro who could make me feel beautiful, but still myself. Michele delivered! We did a hair and make-up trial a couple of months before the wedding (pictured below). It was super helpful, because I realized that I wanted to do my hair slightly different and a more lightweight foundation. I felt perfect on my wedding day and my makeup looked fantastic all night. It was a hot day, so I worried I would have looked like a mess, but whatever makeup magic Michele did had me looking fantastic all day! Michele also did my mom and MIL's hair and makeup and they both looked beautiful. She's so sweet!

As the head of a wedding floristry business, I've collaborated with numerous photographers, yet my experience with Michael Anthony Photography is worth a special mention. Michael, the driving force behind the lens, brings an unparalleled blend of artistry and finesse to his photography. My experience with Michael was nothing short of extraordinary. His ability to capture the subtle interplay of light and color in our floral arrangements was mesmerizing. He didn't just photograph flowers; he told their story, weaving them into the narrative of the wedding day with a sensitivity and grace that is rare to find. Jen, Michael's wife, brought an equally impressive level of skill and dedication to the table. Her meticulous attention to detail ensured that none of the intricate elements in our floral designs went unnoticed. She worked with a gentle, unobtrusive approach, which allowed her to capture stunning, candid images of the arrangements in their natural wedding setting. She captured a ton of detail images for me that I can use in my marketing. The synergy between Michael and Jen created an environment where creativity flourished. It was clear they understood and respected the importance of every detail in a wedding, especially the floral elements. Their work not only highlighted our designs but also enhanced them, providing a fresh and beautiful perspective. Awarding Michael Anthony Photography a 5-star review is an easy decision. Their professional yet personable approach, combined with their exceptional photographic talent, sets them apart in the wedding industry. I wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple in search of a photography team that will capture their wedding day with elegance, artistry, and an attentive eye for every beautiful detail.
