I wish more brides knew about this eco -friendly way to make your wedding look amazing. The quality is amazing, everyone though the flowers were real! They allow a bride with a budge to go big and make a statement! Can't recommend enough! Wish they offered more incentive to collab with them, but oh well! Still great! This was the Gemma collection.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.8 (100 reviews)
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Willow Creek, CA

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had a fantastic experience using Flower Moxie for my May 2026 wedding. The process of going through the custom design was easy and the DIY Academy offered so many video tutorials, I felt well equipped to handle the DIY elements. The flowers came in on time and the end result was exactly what I dreamed of. Throughout the whole process, the team and the designers were communicative and available when I needed them. I saved so much money using Flower Moxie and it was worth it.

  • Serves Willow Creek, CA

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
The Faux Bouquets were great at communicating throughout the entire process! They provided amazing, lifelike floral arrangements that were beautiful in our wedding photos. This was such an easy and convenient service - we simply received the pre-made package, used them for our special day, then packaged them back up to send off. We were thrilled with the quality and value of their work, which truly contributed to making our wedding day perfect.

Jen is incredible and worth every penny! My husband and I weren't very sure about how we wanted our wedding florals to look. 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! Everything came out so beautifully and was perfect for our day. Thank you Jen!

We ship wholesale flowers to your door and provide a full plan that shows you what to order, how much you need, and how to put everything together. You’ll know exactly how many stems go into each bouquet, centerpiece, boutonniere — and how to assemble them step-by-step. Choose one of our DIY flower kits or get a custom plan based on your colors, style, and budget.

Awarded Best of Zola
The flowers (on our order) came in large boxes, but they were not labeled, so it took a minute to get the flowers both identified and properly set up. To be fair we were warned about the process, but not about the length of time due to our inexperience. As a note, it took my fiancé 5 hours to process the flowers when first receiving them. I also did not have any updates from them from the time I ordered till they were being shipped. They were beyond more affordable compared to other florists, and the flowers arrived alive and in good spirits. We were able to keep the flowers alive for over four days!! Many of the flowers that we chose did not have specific instructions, so we had to follow the general reference for the flowers and hope for the best. Additionally, some of the flowers that we wanted were not in stock, and they were replaced for us with substitutes but were not notified until we had all of the flowers already delivered to us. Also, as a note, bloom culture uses third party sellers for their flowers, so the quality may vary depending on location. Our flowers were in good condition, and the company we had clearly took good care of the flowers prior to delivering them to us. Would we do it again? Probably not, but it made for good laughs and bonding time and we have stories to tell from it!

With more than 10 years of experience in wedding and event florals, my style is natural, romantic, and abundant. My favorite part of the process is collaborating with couples to create florals that reflect their personalities and help make their celebration truly unforgettable. Some florists focus only on large weddings—I love the full range of celebrations. From elegant, large affairs to intimate micro-weddings and elopements, I enjoy filling my calendar with meaningful events of all sizes.

Pott & Petal were an exceptional choice for our wedding florists. From the very beginning, they were responsive, communicative, and attentive to our specific needs and vision. Lisa and her team were hardworking, detailed, and produced arrangements that were truly exceptional. They arranged beautiful flowers that perfectly complemented the style and colors we had envisioned. Despite some uncooperative weather on our wedding day, Pott & Petal worked tirelessly behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly. Lisa's expertise extends well beyond just flower arrangements - she is highly experienced and knowledgeable about all the little details that go into putting a wedding together, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. We could not have been happier with the service and quality provided by Pott & Petal, and we highly recommend them to any couple planning their special day.

I had a wonderful experience working with the team at Pick A Bloom-Preserved & Dried Florist. They were easy to communicate with and listened exceptionally well to my unique needs after my mom passed away. The quality of their work and attention to small details was lovely. They created a special memorial for my mom by turning her corsage into an ornament that we could display at the wedding. The team sent photos throughout the creation process and everything arrived early, which helped make our special day run smoothly. I'm so grateful for their thoughtful service and beautiful florals.

Zombie Flowers

After the global zombie apocalypse, in the early winter of '24, I heeded the call, picked up my shovel and shotgun and headed out to the fields. Protecting this wide world from the pestilence that is the zombie flower is no small feat, but I've learned to survive. I've made it my mission to hunt these jokers down, wrangle them together, and to serve to you dead off the proverbial platter. In these post-apocalyptic times, the zombie flowers make for excellent mantle trophies, but some have said they make awesome wedding bouquets. Whatever your cup of tea, these zombie flowers are one of a kind prepared just for you.

Awarded Best of Zola
We contracted Zombie Flowers to provide bouquets for our runway models at Uncon Bridal Con. They were amazing at their communication leading up to the event and delivered the bouquets promptly according to our schedule the day of the event. Their punctuality gave our models enough time to rehearse the runway with their florals. Aside from their great professionalism, Zombie Flowers is a super creative company. Their floral arrangements can be described as wild, yet put together giving a very unique aesthetic that you can't find from Etsy. The best thing that brides say about their products is that their lightweight and already preserved for life. We cannot recommend them enough to add something special to your wedding day!

At Expressions Floral, we believe flowers are more than décor — they are part of your story. Every wedding we design is rooted in care, creativity, and a deep respect for the trust our clients place in us during one of life’s most meaningful moments.

Expressions Floral did an amazing job at our wedding!! We actually booked them fairly late, around August when our wedding was in November. I had thought I could DIY flowers and last minute decided against it. They were easy to book a consult with, listened to every single thing I wanted, put it all into their online portal where I could upload inspo photos too, and sent a quote over quickly! They also easily adjusted it for me when I changed my mind on a few things. Payment was easily made online, and I was able to make changes up until a week out. Everything was delivered on time and exactly as expected on the day of! The bouquets and arch turned out exactly as I had imagined them! They were able to provide tips for the garlands and loose flowers, and overall were very easy to work with, provided everything I wanted, and everything turned out beautiful! They were reasonably priced compared to competitors in the area as well. I would recommend them to other brides! :)

The Dainty Daydream

  • Serves Willow Creek, CA

Hi Im Emily :) A wedding Planner turned Florist. I have a love for all things pretty including event design and florals. I love designing anything from organic to refined flowers. Which means any design ideas you bring to me will be a fun challenge i'm up for.

Working with Emily at The Dainty Daydream was so easy. I had ideas of an abundance of citrus fruits in baskets and cut open on the tables to accompany the flowers and add a fun, summer vibe - and she delivered exactly what I wanted. When we mentioned wanting orange trees by the altar, she didn't say no when she found out orange trees were not in season in summer. Instead, she got creative. Emily sourced the citrus trees and tied oranges to the leaves with clear string so they looked like they were in bloom. It was so beautiful and very creative. I also had concerns right before our wedding that our contracted arrangements might feel small for what I was picturing, but Emily stepped up and sourced fluffy florals that made everything look lush, vibrant, and exactly the size we needed. She has a real talent for solving problems and delivering arrangements that feel abundant without being over the top. Emily's work was beautiful and her willingness to find solutions instead of roadblocks made the whole process smooth. We'd absolutely recommend her to any couple looking for a florist who actually listens and delivers.

our founder and chief designer annie armstrong was born and raised in sunny los angeles. with a background in visual merchandising and window display, she spent years traveling the country designing store fronts. when she discovered the magic of floral design and founded best day ever, she set out to create installations with the same innovative and experiential approach. there is nothing she loves more than creative clients who want to design something that’s never been done before. in the rare moments when annie is not surrounded by flowers, her favorite place to be is anywhere near or in the ocean.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Annie from Best Day Ever Floral Design for our wedding at Cielo Farms in Malibu, CA, and she was nothing short of incredible. From the very beginning, Annie’s communication, creativity, and professionalism stood out. She took her time on zoom calls and countless emails with us, making sure she fully understood our vision and helping us refine it with her expert eye. Annie even went above and beyond by meeting us in person at our wedding mockup with our rental company. She brought along complimentary flowers and candles to help us better visualize how everything would come together. It was such a thoughtful touch that truly showed how much she cared. Throughout the planning process, Annie was flexible and collaborative, working with our ideas and allowing us to make changes along the way. She listened to what we wanted and took it even further, incorporating beautiful seasonal fruits into our arrangements to add dimension and depth to the design. The final result on our wedding day was absolutely perfect in every way, lush, vibrant, and uniquely “us.” Annie’s work completely transformed the space and tied our whole aesthetic together. We wholeheartedly recommend Annie and Best Day Ever Floral Design to anyone looking for stunning, personalized florals and an amazing experience from start to finish.
