Something Borrowed Blooms

4.9

Starts at $250
Serves Icard, NC

Thousands of brides across the United States and Canada have trusted Something Borrowed Blooms to provide the perfect flowers for their wedding day. We offer brides the expensive peonies, delicate ranunculus, out-of-season anemones, and the ever-impossible-to-find-magnolia — all at a fraction of the cost.

“Something Borrowed Blooms provided the most lifelike and luxurious floral arrangements for our wedding day. The bouquets, ceremony pieces and boutonnieres were all incredibly realistic and high quality, with vibrant colors and lush textures that exceeded our expectations. In fact, as my husband and I were taking photos in a park, a bee even tried to pollinate my bouquet, drawn to its beauty and realism. Getting the boxes to the venue did require a bit of coordination, but with a little help from friends we were able to easily box them up the day after the wedding and ship them off via FedEx. We saved easily 2,000 thanks to Something Borrowed and you would never know the flowers were fake.”

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

4.9

Starts at $350
Serves Icard, NC

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.

“I absolutely loved my experience using Flower Moxie. I was nervous about doing my own wedding flowers at first, but their team made me so comfortable. I was even able to do the grounded floral arch I wanted and my own bouquets and boutonnieres. Alexa helped me add flowers to my order and made sure everything was perfect for my big day. Thank you so much, Alexa! I'll be sure to refer all my friends to Flower Moxie!!”

“Working with Avenue Design Studio was such a pleasure! While florals were important to me, I didn’t feel the need to be heavily involved, and their team made the process so easy. They truly listened to my vision, allowed for updates as my plans evolved, and then took care of everything from there. They were incredibly helpful in working within my budget, creatively repurposing ceremony florals for the reception tables, which made the whole evening feel cohesive and elegant. I appreciated their attention to detail, like including flowers I love (amaranthus) and avoiding ones I don’t (baby’s breath). Their ability to travel and stay all day to assist with setup was such a bonus. Highly recommend Avenue Design Studio!”

From lush bouquets and centerpieces to floral arches and installations, I will make your wedding vision come to life.

“From initially contacting Rachel about wedding flowers, we knew we'd lucked out. Coming from a family of gardeners / florists, we knew we wanted something natural and elegant, but weren't really sure how to make that vision come to life. As both an artist and florist, Rachel came in and guided us on the most amazing journey, ending in the floral display of a lifetime at our wedding. From guiding us on choosing a floral theme that matched our wedding colors, to expert advice on flower availability in different seasons, Rachel guided us as we built the most incredible vision. When the day came and we saw the venue, we were literally floored. Her execution and attention to detail made the whole venue come alive in a way that can only be described as magical. The bouquets and boutonnieres were perfectly designed and put together, and the bride's gorgeous bouquet had the most compliments of all! We could not recommend Rachel enough, from the initial planning conversations all the way through the end of the wedding. Her customer service was impeccable, setting up and breaking down the floral displays within our time windows on the big day and solving so many issues without needing to take our limited time. If you want the flowers of your dreams, provided by an expert florist you can trust completely, look no further!”

Rainey Day Bouquets

4.2

Serves Icard, NC

As I prepare for my own wedding in April of next year, I was taken aback by the exorbitant costs associated with floral arrangements. Quotes ranging from $6,000 to $7,000, with a minimum commitment of $4,000, were simply unfeasible for me. This led me to explore alternative solutions, and I discovered a passion for creating my own florals. I was delighted to find that I had a knack for it! This experience sparked the idea to launch my faux floral rental business, driven by the belief that beautiful wedding florals shouldn't come with an astronomical price tag. My goal is to make stunning arrangements accessible to all.

“While I didn’t use her for a wedding — I most certainly will once I get married! Morgan’s floral arrangements are so well done that I asked to purchase some to decorate my home. Her customer service and attention to detail is out of this world. 10/10 recommend.”
