Why buy flowers when this is an option? Renting my flowers was such a good decision and they were absolutely beautiful. SBB makes the process so easy too. The flowers were lovely, they photographed well, and when we were done we sent them right back! A great option especially if you don’t want to spend a ton of money on floral arrangements.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.9 (79 reviews)
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Belview, MN

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.

  • Serves Belview, MN

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 absolutely fantastic for our wedding! From the very beginning, they were awesome to work with - extremely responsive and so helpful in guiding us through all the floral options. Their communication style was great, and they really listened to our vision and preferences. The end product was stunning - the bouquets, centerpieces, and other arrangements were so pretty and went beautifully with our color scheme. We were thrilled with how everything turned out, and would highly recommend The Faux Bouquets to any couple planning their wedding.

🌹 WE ARE NOT FRESH FLOWER FLORISTS. WE WORK WITH WOOD & FAUX FLOWERS. PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IN YOUR REPLY. 🌹 Wood & Word Blooms is run by a Jen Angle, former teacher of 20+ years and specializes in using hand-painted wood flowers along with a faux, dried and preserved florals (nothing fresh here) to bring your wedding vision to life not just for that one glorious day but forever. Besides designing for you, I also offer DIY Wood Flower Experiences to create your wedding florals alongside me in person or virtually and 1:1 sessions to help DIY brides learn to do it themselves.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

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!

Care is at the center of our business: care for your vision, care for our product, and care for all of the people that make this dream possible. Reach out, let’s build something beautiful together!

Working with Liv was an absolute dream. We Reverie & Rose because we wanted to shop sustainably for our day. Ironically, I found her business because she was also my bridal stylist when I was wedding dress shopping. She is so incredibly knowledgeable of all things wedding. I consider myself to be a VERY anxious bride, and Liv did a fantastic job of helping me figure out exactly what I wanted. She sent us mood boards based on my vision, and zoom called us to talk through details before we paid for anything. The bouquets and boutonnières that we got were awesome. I don’t know how but the roses even felt real to the touch. Even the bees were confused and kept trying to land on our bouquets throughout the day lol! Now I have my bouquet on my dining room table, and every day when I see it, I am reminded of our wedding. I am so glad that we chose silk flowers, and I would recommend Reverie & Rose to every bride. Thank you Liv!

Faded Era Floral 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Belview, MN

My name is Sarah Rose, owner of Faded Era Floral. Established in 2020, Faded Era offers full service wedding florals, elopement packages and special occasion local deliveries. I gravitate toward organic, lush and textural floral designs, taking my cue from seasonal blooms. My goal is to be communicative and transparent while discussing your ideal florals and to find creative and impactful ways to bring your vision to life. I always practice eco-conscious design techniques and put local flowers first.

Where do I even begin? Sarah of Faded Era Floral was an absolute delight and treasure to work with for my September wedding. From our very first email exchange, Sarah was warm, friendly, and professional. I didn’t have a specific color palette nor particular flowers in mind; all I knew is that I wanted to evoke a sense of whimsy. Besides that, I loved everything Sarah had done for past weddings. Her eye for color, texture, and composition within her arrangements are truly beautiful! She took the time to pull together thoughtful suggestions for arrangements, all while taking in account our desired look and budget. I truly put all my trust in Sarah’s vision and abilities. To say she exceeded our expectations doesn’t properly convey what a breathtakingly stunning job she did. Everything was executed with such thought and care, from our ceremony florals that elevated our already gorgeous space to adding a playfully elegant look to our reception tables. She made our special day even more so with all her work, and for that we are endlessly grateful. Sarah is a gem of a person; she is kind, attentive, timely, and knowledgeable and passionate about her craft. She will bring your vision to life and somehow manage to make it even better than you could have possibly dreamed.

As someone who’s been immersed within the wedding world since 2020 and the garden space since I can remember, I’ve gotten to witness the beauty and joy that flowers bring to not only special events but everyday life.
