Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.9 (94 reviews)
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Boonville, CA

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 was a great floral vendor. Their wide range of diy tutorials was very helpful, and our florist helped us form a vision for our wedding flowers. We were very happy with how our flowers turned out, and proud we could have a hand in diy-ing this aspect of our wedding.

The Faux Bouquets 
Rating: 5.0 (43 reviews)
  • Starts at $175
  • Serves Boonville, CA

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
We were so delighted to use The Faux Bouquets for our wedding. We ended up having a family emergency that forced us to downsize the size and budget of the wedding just a few months before the wedding, and the team at TFB were so accommodating and helped us to find a solution that still allowed us to use their flowers in our (modified) ceremony. We were a bit concerned about the flowers getting smushed in shipping, but they arrived looking absolutely STUNNING and with plenty of time before the big day. Even my gardener of a grandma couldn't tell they weren't real flowers! We were so happy with how everything looked on the day, and in pictures they look just as lovely. Can't recommend The Faux Bouquets enough! There's no visual difference compared to real bouquets and they are much more affordable. The last big selling point that I would advise future brides, and I did not really consider this, is that because the flowers don't wilt, we could set the decor out the night before--which is a LIFESAVER to not have to worry about on the special day! Anything that will save you time and stress on the day of the wedding is a big win!

Zombie Flowers 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Serves Boonville, CA

After the global zombie apocalypse, in the early winter of '24, I heeded the call, picked up my shovel and shotgun and headed out to the fields. Protecting this wide world from the pestilence that is the zombie flower is no small feat, but I've learned to survive. I've made it my mission to hunt these jokers down, wrangle them together, and to serve to you dead off the proverbial platter. In these post-apocalyptic times, the zombie flowers make for excellent mantle trophies, but some have said they make awesome wedding bouquets. Whatever your cup of tea, these zombie flowers are one of a kind prepared just for you.

Empress Floral Co. is a San Francisco-based wedding and event floral design studio. The name comes from the Empress tarot card, which stands for abundance, beauty, and the nurturing power of nature. These values inspire everything I do, both in life and in my work. What makes Empress Floral Co. special is a strong commitment to sustainability and supporting local flower farmers. Every bouquet, arrangement, and installation is carefully crafted with 100% sustainable materials. My goal is to celebrate nature’s beauty while also caring for the planet.

A friend recommended Empress Floral to help me put together an arrangement for our anniversary. Katie mentioned that she doesn’t typically take on single-arrangement orders since she’s focused on weddings and events, but she kindly offered to create something using the flowers she had on hand. When she delivered it, my wife and I were stunned. My wife even got flustered and joked, “Where was Empress when we chose our wedding florist? Our wedding would’ve looked so much better!” I’m so glad I gave Katie full creative freedom. The arrangement was beyond anything I imagined. If you’re planning a wedding or event, I highly recommend reaching out to Empress. Truly the best in the Bay Area!
