At Resin Vibes, we believe that flowers symbolize love, joy, and cherished memories. Our mission is to transform your special blooms into lasting keepsakes you can treasure for a lifetime. When you choose to work with us, you’re not just investing in preservation; you’re selecting a service that genuinely cares about making your special day unforgettable.

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.

The flowers from Something Borrowed Blooms were, above all, gorgeous. They also cost a fraction of getting real flowers from a florist. (As in, several thousands of dollars less for something equally beautiful.) The flowers got many compliments and everyone was shocked they weren't real! The centerpiece and bouquets in the attached photos are from the Wren collection. The customer service at Something Borrowed Blooms is also highly responsive and helpful. Getting your wedding flowers from Something Borrowed Blooms is one of the best planning decisions you'll make: the blooms are high quality and easy to use, plus MUCH friendlier for your wallet and the environment.

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!

Lori worked with us to understand our decor vision and was able to bring our vision to life. The florals were stunning and the colors complemented our color scheme perfectly! Her day of coordination services went above and beyond our expectations. We appreciated her checklists, seating chart software, and detailed timeline which she then shared with all our vendors.

We are a boutique floristry studio focused on sustainability and artistic design. Our mission is to elevate spaces, evoke emotion, and create lasting memories. We pride ourselves on our curated luxurious designs highlighting contemporary style with a Neoclassicist grandeur. Color theory and textural balance is where we excel. We welcome the moody, those with a flair for the dramatic, and statement makers. We bring our client’s visions to life and ensure they receive superior service. We limit the amount of full-service events to guarantee our clients the personal attention they deserve to create exquisite detailed focused work.

We had such a wonderful experience working with Klaudia! From the very beginning, she was warm and supportive and understood our vision despite our inability to fully articulate it ourselves. We are not flower experts but we knew we wanted something whimsical and magical for our winter wedding. She spent tons of time with us, in person, on the phone, and via email, making sure our proposal was exactly what we wanted. She even stuck with us through some huge changes to our original wedding plan and budget and came up with creative solutions to make sure we got exactly what we wanted within what we could afford. Within just a few weeks of the wedding, we got some wild ideas to use some items of our own in the decorating, and she made that work for us as well. The day-of, our flowers were unspeakably gorgeous. Klaudia delivered the bouquets to us right on time, and decorated the venue beautifully (all while having a broken leg!!!! She is magic.) Our other vendors, guests and even strangers during our outdoor photos raved about the flower arrangements. They were super unique and special, and I never wanted them to be over! In fact, we still have my dried bridal bouquet hanging in our apartment three months later... In sum, hire Klaudia. She is the florist of dreams.

It was a truly unforgettable experience, and a testament to her creativity and ability to think outside the box. Madisun's attention to detail was impeccable. She coordinated seamlessly with all the vendors, ensuring everything ran flawlessly. From the décor and lighting to the timeline and logistics, every aspect of our wedding was handled with professionalism and care.

Founded in 2019 by floral designer Caulyn Pressnell, New Mood Floral + Styling is a floral design studio based in Nashville, Tennessee and Chicago, Illinois. NM specialized in events, weddings, and floral design from home to set. Color and texture are our obsession and we’re committed to finding the most special ingredients from growers as local as possible to meet your needs.

I had a very particular vision for my wedding and the most important thing to me was the flowers. I'd seen Caulyn's work on Instagram prior to getting engaged and reached out probably the day after the proposal. She INSTANTLY understood the vision. She communicated clearly and immediately, answered every nit-picky and frequent question I had with kindness and was INDESCRIBABLY helpful on the day. The flowers were equally as indescribably beautiful and was the highlight of the day (aside from getting married, obviously). Weddings are stressful and among the many vendors you hire for the day, not all of them take the time and effort to prepare or work to understand your vision. Caulyn does and I could not recommend her enough.
