Bazarr Blossoms 
Rating: 5.0 (14 reviews)
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Boonsboro, MD

My love for floral design began inside the horticulture classroom at my high school. That classroom played a pivotal role in allowing me to be creative in ways that I never had been before. When I left for college, My goal was to study business in order to operate my own Floral Business but I quickly lost track of that dream. The pandemic served as a wake up call for me just like it did for so many others. Allowing me to rediscover my love for flowers and all things beautiful. Bazarr Blossoms is more than a business its a passion that allows me to stay true to that teenager who once created and dreamed inside that high school classroom.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bazarr did a phenomenal drop bring my vision to life. I wanted our wedding to feel very warm and romantic. She assisted me with picking the flowers that matched the look I was seeking. She was super flexible, transparent with pricing, and her response time to questions and concerns were instant. We got married in July on a hot summer day. She insured that our flowers were in great condition on a hot humid day by keeping them cool and watered. I would highly recommend her for services.

LITERALLY there is no question, book Storybook Weddings and Events - I LOVE Stacey. My events with her are EFFORTLESS. It is so important for vendors to share who they recommend, as planners and photographers need to coexist, on your day, to create a flawless execution of what you have always dreamed to be your perfect day. Storybook gets things done, with a "I got this" attitude, and troubleshoots with the best of them, to make sure any hiccup is met with success.

What started as a love for creating beautiful spaces quickly grew into something deeper: a calling to capture the heart behind every moment. For us, event design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about emotion. It’s about the quiet glances, the laughter, the milestones, and the stories that bring people together. Whether we’re designing an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, our goal is always the same: to create an experience that feels authentic, intentional, and unforgettable.

It was a pleasure collaborating with the ladies of Timeless Blossoms. Looking forward to future opportunities.

Yours Truly Florals 
  • Serves Boonsboro, MD

In 2016, I started looking for creative alternatives to fresh flowers. I saw an advertisement for WOOD flower arrangements and was intrigued. I quickly ordered a centerpiece and when it arrived, I was so amazed by the product that I took the flowers apart to see how they were made. It was fascinating to me that someone would think to use the wood from a plant to make flowers. Fast forward a couple months and I started ordering raw undyed flowers, dove in headfirst, and fell in love! By using WOOD flowers, we are able to custom dye & arrange them to give a bride more versatility. I am so honored to be a small part of a bride’s special day!

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.

Flower Moxie - Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers provided an outstanding, ongoing, easy, and reliable experience for our wedding. Their communication was transparent, and they clearly cared about ensuring the success of our DIY floral arrangements. The flowers arrived on time, and the step-by-step email directions and tutorials made the preparation process a breeze. I had no casualties, and the flowers turned out beautifully - I was preparing for a 5% loss but everything worked perfectly!

  • Serves Boonsboro, MD

Proud Cat & Dog Mom // Your New Wedding Vendor BFF It’s never been just about pretty flowers to me. I started out in social work because I wanted to serve and connect with others. I first entered the floral design world as an intern in 2016 and noticed a lack of originality in designs and a need for more connection between the florist and the couple. When I started WFD in 2019, I decided to prioritize both artistic designs and building long-term relationships with each couple. Planning my own wedding in 2021 gave me an even deeper appreciation for the importance of receiving creative expertise and genuine support from wedding vendors.

Working with Misha was an absolute dream! She understood my vision and then amplified it x100 to help design the most vibrant, garden party chic floral displays ever! Walking out on my wedding day and being surrounded by beautiful flowers was amazing. Misha is so easy to communicate with and really helped take flowers completely off of my plate once she understood the vibe I was going for. She even helped me decide to do all different dresses for my bridesmaids which was so fun! She worked seamlessly with the décor and signage gal (Kelsey of Creamery Hill). Many times throughout the night, I was told that my flowers were the most gorgeous my guests have ever seen at a wedding. THANK YOU MISHA!

Sunset Florals originally came to me as a recommendation from my photographer, but the second I met Rachel I knew I had to work with her! She immediately understood our vision, asked all the right questions, and her enthusiasm for what she does is infectious. The real "cherry on top" was discovering that I already had a photo of her work on my vision board! The day of our wedding, she was so hands-on and helpful - not only were guests raving about how beautiful the flowers were, our wedding coordinator, family, and venue staff also had nothing but compliments for how great the entire Sunset Florals team was to work with.

We can’t thank Sarah's team enough for creating such gorgeous florals and installations, even with a rain delay and plan B fully in effect. We appreciated her ability to ‘bring the outside in’ and it really felt like that. Sarah went above and beyond to make our floral dreams come true, all while respecting our budget and working hard to give us what we wanted. We loved supporting her business and her farm and working with her was a great experience with her positive attitude, passion, and vast knowledge of both florals and wedding planning. I wish I had more time to just stare at all of the little floral details at our wedding. The white ceremony columns with the white urns on top truly looked like an art installation; they were stunning. They were the perfect backdrop to our ceremony. THE STAIRCASE. I have never heard so many compliments. It was DREAMY. The tiny vines that spun around the railing. The ivy. The floral focal point at the bottom. It was better than I could have even imagined. It also smelled amazing and was the perfect place to do the wedding toasts, it will live forever in our videos and photos! The mantle installations also looked amazing (again something I wish I had more time to look at!!). THE PEONIES. It’s official that our wedding had a signature scent and it was PEONY! Which was also fitting since I wore peony perfume that day so now peonies will forever remind me of our wedding day which is so exciting for me because I love them. THE CENTERPIECES were perfect floating masterpieces just like I imagined. The combination of florals Sarah put together was classic but with an abstract/ organic twist and I loved all of the different unique buds in each one. The BOUQUETS turned out so beautiful. I loved how they were different but complimented each other so well. The shapes were so fun and you really got to see the color contrast which was perfect. 10/10 recommend working with Sarah for your wedding! (photos via @morganshootsfilm)
