Saint Rose Florist did an incredible job bringing our wedding floral vision to life. Jennifer was so great to work with - quick to respond, thorough in her questions, and extremely helpful in translating my inspiration pictures into arrangements that perfectly suited our venue and style. The end result was absolutely stunning! Jennifer took our ideas and elevated them beyond what we could have imagined.

Awarded Best of Zola
We ordered buckets of blooms to arrange ourselves for the centerpieces and aisle decorations, along with some premade pieces for the arch and bar, and our bouquets. Suzi was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process - she really brought my vision to life and gave us helpful tips on how to display the flowers and keep them fresh. The buckets of blooms were perfect for a DIY bride like me, giving us flexibility to create our own arrangements (and save a little money). And the the premade pieces were absolutely gorgeous - I'm so glad I decided not to do everything myself! Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting how beautiful everything looked! We also love supporting a female-owned flower farm. Highly recommend Viavi Flower Farm for anyone looking for gorgeous, thoughtfully curated wedding flowers.

I had my mom’s wedding bouquet preserved by Resin Vibes by MB as a surprise gift — and I truly couldn’t be happier with the result. From the start, the communication was outstanding. She kept me updated every step of the way and made the entire experience feel so personal and thoughtful. When the piece was complete, I was in awe. The flowers were perfectly arranged and beautifully preserved in crystal-clear resin, capturing every petal and detail with such care. It was elegant, timeless, and full of emotion — the perfect way to honor such a special day in my mom’s life. Giving it to her brought tears to her eyes. It wasn’t just a gift; it was a memory frozen in time. I’m beyond grateful to Resin Vibes by MB for turning something so meaningful into a piece of art we’ll cherish forever. If you’re considering floral preservation, don’t look any further. This is true craftsmanship, with heart. She is by far the most experienced floral preservation artist in the Kalamazoo area.

I used Something Borrowed Blooms for my December 2024 wedding. I used them for the bridal bouquet, MoH bouquet, and 2 centerpieces. I got so many compliments on my bridal bouquet and it was so easy to use without any concerns about getting my dress wet or damaged from real flowers. The flowers look real and even smell floral. The mailing and send-back process was a breeze. I would use them again in a heartbeat for another event.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.9 (78 reviews)
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Nottawa, MI

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 recommend 100% using flower moxie if you want to DIY your flowers. My cousin used them for her wedding and had a great experience so I decided to use for mine as well. I was worried since my wedding was on a Sunday that a Thursday delivery would have my flowers wilting by the time of the actual wedding. It was perfect. The flowers lasted so long. The recipes for the arrangements are easy to follow. Everyone loved my florals and was surprised it was DIY. I would totally use them again.

The Faux Bouquets 
Rating: 5.0 (42 reviews)
  • Starts at $175
  • Serves Nottawa, MI

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
We were so delighted to use The Faux Bouquets for our wedding. We ended up having a family emergency that forced us to downsize the size and budget of the wedding just a few months before the wedding, and the team at TFB were so accommodating and helped us to find a solution that still allowed us to use their flowers in our (modified) ceremony. We were a bit concerned about the flowers getting smushed in shipping, but they arrived looking absolutely STUNNING and with plenty of time before the big day. Even my gardener of a grandma couldn't tell they weren't real flowers! We were so happy with how everything looked on the day, and in pictures they look just as lovely. Can't recommend The Faux Bouquets enough! There's no visual difference compared to real bouquets and they are much more affordable. The last big selling point that I would advise future brides, and I did not really consider this, is that because the flowers don't wilt, we could set the decor out the night before--which is a LIFESAVER to not have to worry about on the special day! Anything that will save you time and stress on the day of the wedding is a big win!

I was so grateful to have found Jen while going through our flower-picking-process. We got a quote for real flowers to start and it was way out of our budget. When we started looking for 'fake' flowers, I knew I wanted them to look as real as possible. I must have looked at 10 different vendors across CT and MA, and as soon as I saw Wood & Word Blooms website I was sold! Her bouquets are one of a kind, each and every piece was perfect for our wedding. She was so supportive and helpful in the color picking process, I changed my mind a few times but she never batted an eye. She got us to the finish line and we couldn't be happier. If you're on the fence, just go with Jen!

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!
