  • Serves West Springfield, MA

Hey there! I'm Kristina, and I'm absolutely in love with all things floral. When I'm not creating stunning arrangements, you'll often find me spending quality time with my beautiful family – my loving husband and our three adorable kids. Being happily married and a mother has taught me the importance of cherishing life's precious moments, and that's exactly what I strive to do with my floral designs. With a passion for weddings and events, I pour my heart into making each occasion extra special and unforgettable. My journey in the world of flowers has been an incredible one, and I can't wait to weave that magic into your dream event!

Kristina and her team were incredible! She absolutely nailed my floral vision for our wedding, and then some! From our very first consultation, to the many proposal revisions (trust me, I mean many!), to day of arrangement, she did not disappoint. Kristina was extremely easy and quick to communicate with. She guided me through the entire process with so much patience and kindness. Every bouquet, boutonniere, arrangement, arch, bud vase, etc was expertly crafted and stunning. Totally obsessed with how everything came out, and still getting compliments on our florals to date! Couldn’t have been happier to have had our florals done by Evergreen Events

Rune & Rose Floral Designs

  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves West Springfield, MA

Rune & Rose Floral Designs is a sustainability focused design team with a unique and elevated style inspired by our connection to others, movement and nature. Rune & Rose Floral Designs prioritizes sustainability & community by sourcing blooms from local farmers during the New England growing season. This helps ensure fellow local farmers are being supported. Owners Emily and Dalton also work closely with a local family owned flower wholesaler to ensure their design choices are never limited.

I don’t even know where to begin because working with Emily at Rune & Rose was truly one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. She is not only unbelievably talented and creative, but also the kind of person you feel lucky to collaborate with. From our very first meeting, she completely understood my vision and cared deeply about bringing it to life, down to every last detail. The flowers were beyond anything I could have dreamed of, absolutely stunning, perfectly tailored to me, and one of my favorite parts of the entire day. Emily made the process seamless, fun, and stress-free. She communicated so clearly, offered thoughtful ideas, and made me feel supported and excited every step of the way. Her passion, artistry, and genuine care shine through in everything she does, and I cannot thank her and her team enough for creating such magic. If you’re considering booking her, don’t hesitate for a second. Emily is a floral genius and a joy to work with. I highly, highly recommend Rune & Rose!

Overall I was very happy with the flowers and how easy it was to order them and return them. We had A destination wedding in June in Florida so real flowers would have just wilted so these were a perfect choice. My only critic is that the corsage and boutonnières were pretty used. They weren’t the prettiest but the 2 bouquets I ordered looked pretty good. I do recommend them especially for a destination wedding and low cost.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.9

  • Starts at $350
  • Serves West Springfield, MA

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
Flower Moxie - Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers provided amazing and quick communication throughout the process. The flowers arrived beautifully and they provided plenty of instructions to help keep them looking their best. While I ended up ordering way too much due to not making as many arrangements as I had anticipated, the blue flowers they provided were absolutely stunning and really contributed to the beautiful floral design and color palette on our wedding day. I would highly recommend Flower Moxie to any couple looking for a reliable and high-quality DIY wedding florals option.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Naomi for our wedding florals was a DREAM and an exceptional experience from start to finish. We cannot recommend her and her team at Nectar and Vessel highly enough to other couples getting married. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Naomi and her team and giving her complete creative freedom. She took that freedom, and spun floral magic into the most beautifully designed space we have ever seen. Her love for florals, and for creating beautiful moments for others shines in her work - and isn’t that what you want on your wedding day? To be surrounded by love through flowers that all your guests can feel? That’s the magic Naomi brings to weddings that is impossible to replicate. The floral designs and artistry that Naomi and her team created for our day were simply stunning. Beyond being beautiful, they were unique and felt personal to us. It was the talk of the wedding that none of the guests had ever seen a display like the florals at our wedding, and that each tablescape and design felt like a work of art. A few things additional things about working with N&V we’d like to highlight: Design and vision: Naomi not only executed a vision for our wedding florals and design, she shaped it from the very beginning. The proposal powerpoint was a detailed mood board of not only the florals, but the overall vibe and design for the wedding. For the bride or groom, like me, who was overwhelmed with how to make a wedding feel cohesive, personal, and intentionally designed, trust in Naomi to help jump start that process and hire her as one of your early vendors. Flawless logistics and professionalism: Working with N&V was completely stress free because Naomi and her team are true professionals. She was respectful of our budget, had a clear, well-structured contract, and payment through her professional portal was incredibly easy. Everything was delivered, set-up, and cleaned up flawlessly and on-time. Importantly, if there were any issues day-of, we didn’t hear about it or take on any of that stress (though with her careful planning, I bet there weren’t any fires to put out!) While these sound like boring logistics, all of this professional preparation on N&V’s part saved us a ton of time and stress wedding planning. Positivity and good energy: Naomi herself is the warmest and most effusively positive person - that was clear from our very first consultation call with her and was even more true on the day of our wedding. We felt showered in positivity throughout our experience working with her, which is exactly what you want on your big day! We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Nectar and Vessel, and specifically, Naomi and her wonderful team. Hire her early, trust her to work her magic and give her all the creative control, and then watch your wedding venue transform.

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!
