Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.8

  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Wayne, NY

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.

Because of all the florals already there due to the nature of the venue, and all the florals and plants they filled in, I didn’t feel the need to have a ton of florals, so I did them myself! I found Flower Moxie here on Zola and they were so great! If you are thinking about DIY’ing your florals, I would definitely recommend looking into Flower Moxie! They have some set packages you can chose from, but I upgraded to the highest personalized package and it was so worth it. I got to have a phone call with the florist and they put together a custom package, and they definitely killed it, the flowers were exactly what I had in mind. There were so many resources and they went through everything so well I felt so prepared and we had almost no issues putting all the florals together. All of our florals still looked fresh and beautiful on our wedding day, and some of the florals in our arch arrangements lasted WEEKS. A word of caution though: it is definitely a lot of work, so just ensure that you have enough time in town before your wedding (i.e. you can’t fly in the day before your ceremony, if you are traveling to that location) and enough people to help you (for putting together, transporting and anything day of). I actually really enjoyed getting to do my florals myself, and would highly recommend if you are creative and DIYing your wedding!

Isabelle is a dream to work with, and created the most stunning florals, understated and natural yet gorgeous and striking, which blended beautifully with the natural environment of our venue. The florals were more than decorations - they were works of art. The fact that the plants are chemical free and grown in a sustainable, regenerative environment was a huge selling point for us. The team is reliable, experienced, and so dedicated, and they went above and beyond to turn a vision into reality. Finally, communication with Isabelle was incredibly smooth and pleasant, and during a stressful process like wedding planning, having such a supportive, loving person was deeply helpful and appreciated.

Evergreen Botanical Studio Flower Preservation 

5.0

  • Serves Wayne, NY
  • Offer

We specialize in vibrant and dynamic 3D flower preservation, transforming your wedding flowers into beautiful pieces of art. Maintaining close to original color and shape of your flowers, laid out in our Evergreen signature style and displayed in custom made wood shadow boxes brings a new modern look to flower preservation. Visit our webpage and instagram to learn more about our work. Please reach out directly at our website to inquire that your date is available. We kindly suggest to book as soon as you can as we are a limited capacity studio and can only take in a certain number of customers per month.

My husband and I decided to have an intimate micro-wedding with 12 other people in June of 2024, and organized just about everything ourselves, including the flowers. As part of the planning process, we sought out a preservation artist who could freeze this element of our wedding forever in time. I found Jackie of Evergreen Botanical Studio and her 3-D preservation style matched exactly what I was looking for, so we booked our date with her as soon as we could. She was the PERFECT choice. She took my crazy wild bouquet, my grandmother’s handkerchiefs that wrapped the stems, all the extra flowers from the arrangements, and even some delphinium from her own garden (because she's such an angel and took pity on me that mine didn’t quite survive), and created a work of art that takes me directly back to my wedding day and reminds me of all the amazingness that unfolded. AND she crafted the most wonderful little memento for my Mom, that was completed in time to gift for her 50th wedding anniversary, just months after our event. Jackie was so easy to work with, providing detailed instructions for packaging and shipping the flowers from the Midwest, eased my worry by confirming as soon as she received them, and gave a timeline and explanation of how the whole preservation process works. It seems like magic that the flowers in the finished product look just as they did on the day of our wedding. There is something extra special about the care and artistry that she applies to each and every project she works on. You can feel the passion for her craft shining through, from the vibrant colors and clever composition to the expertly homemade frames. This was an important part of our wedding budget, and we are so glad we made the investment, not only as an extra special keepsake but also to support a fellow artist and small business owner. You won’t be disappointed making the same choice!

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. I would use her services again and again!

  • Serves Wayne, NY for additional fees

Hi! I'm Carlee Griffin, owner of EdenPark Floral. I started EdenPark Floral in 2023 after freelancing for a few years. I originally started in flowers 20 years ago, but left the industry to try other things. After spending 11 years in the corporate world, I got my private investigators license in San Antonio. After sometime I rediscovered my love for flowers and seeing people in love and that is what brings us here today. I live in Boerne, TX, with my flower puppy, Oliver. In my free time I love spending time with family, traveling and spoiling Oliver. At EP, we love what we do anwwd enjoy bringing life to our customers flower dreams!

My flowers are easily still one of my favorite things about my wedding a year later. Carlee hears your vision and beyond delivers. The quality of the flowers she chooses are flawless. She is personal and helps you create what you want even when you are unsure. I knew that I wanted greenery but did not want eucalyptus. She assured me that I had options that are just as beautiful without the strong smell. She was right! I didn’t know specific flowers that I wanted but described to her what I liked and how I wanted my wedding to be. She hand picked options of flowers that fit with my vision; some I had never even seen before. She was on time for delivery, did all the set up and tear down. I loved her arrangements so much that I have saved them in resin as a keepsake! EdenPark Floral was the best money we spent on our wedding day. Give her a call!
