  • Serves Bushkill, PA

My passion for flowers and plants started when I was a child. Growing up in the middle of nowhere was the best thing to allow my imagination to flourish. The school day would end and I would be rushing off the bus to help my grandparents plant seedlings or pick the harvest from the garden. My parents had flower beds and brought the beautiful flowers inside to enjoy as well. I am passionate about being able to replicate flower gardens into a gorgeous design but also creating a unique design just for your day!

We loved working with Melissa and her team to create beautiful flower arrangements for our 2021 wedding. From day one, she brought so much positivity and creativity - and it shows in her work! We received so many compliments on our centerpieces and are so thankful to have had Melissa on board for the big day! Highly recommend.

Woodland Floral Design Co. 

5.0

  • Serves Bushkill, PA

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.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Misha for my wedding, and I cannot recommend her enough! I was looking for whimsical arrangements that really took up space, with bright, vibrant colors, and a lot of personality - and she absolutely nailed it. The arrangements were bold, beautiful, and truly show-stopping. They were the talk of the wedding, with guests still complimenting the floral designs long after the event. Misha's communication throughout the process was fantastic, and not to mention, she's an absolute sweetheart! There were times when I wasn’t sure about certain details, and she was always there to fill in the gaps and offer her expert advice. The flowers turned out even better than we could have imagined. I’m so grateful for her attention to detail and her ability to bring my vision to life in such a stunning way. If you’re looking for gorgeous, unique florals that make a statement, Misha and Woodland Florals is your go-to!

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 great at communicating throughout the entire process! They provided amazing, lifelike floral arrangements that were beautiful in our wedding photos. This was such an easy and convenient service - we simply received the pre-made package, used them for our special day, then packaged them back up to send off. We were thrilled with the quality and value of their work, which truly contributed to making our wedding day perfect.

Bloom Culture: Do-it-yourself Wedding Flowers

  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Bushkill, PA

Bloom Culture helps couples DIY their wedding flowers with confidence — even if you’ve never arranged flowers before. We ship wholesale flowers to your door and provide a full plan that shows you what to order, how much you need, and how to put everything together. You’ll know exactly how many stems go into each bouquet, centerpiece, boutonniere — and how to assemble them step-by-step. 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!

I had a wonderful experience working with the team at Pick A Bloom-Preserved & Dried Florist. They were easy to communicate with and listened exceptionally well to my unique needs after my mom passed away. The quality of their work and attention to small details was lovely. They created a special memorial for my mom by turning her corsage into an ornament that we could display at the wedding. The team sent photos throughout the creation process and everything arrived early, which helped make our special day run smoothly. I'm so grateful for their thoughtful service and beautiful florals.

Hello, I’m Anastasija, the heart and hands behind Vera Blooms Design and Timeless by Vera Blooms. Flowers have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and designing with them is more than just creating arrangements—it’s creating experiences, memories, and emotions that last far beyond the day. What drives me is the joy of transformation: turning a bride’s vision into a reality, bringing life to a space through color and texture, and weaving nature’s beauty into moments that mean the most. Every stem I place has purpose, and every design I create is meant to tell a story.

Awarded Best of Zola
I opted to go with Vera Blooms Designs after 1 phone call because I knew Anastasija understood my vision and what I was looking for. I wanted fall inspired blooms with a hint of blue added in. When they were delivered, we could not have been happier. They were beautiful, fresh, and exactly why I asked for. They were still holding up when I shipped them out to be pressed 2 days later. The groomsmen were even impressed with their pocket square boutonnières. Anastasija knows her flowers and her eye to create your vision is top notch.

Growing up on a tree farm, plants quickly became part of my life. Observing how they grow, getting excited by the seasonal changes, and foraging to create arrangements became my passion. I love weddings and celebrations and incorporating flowers and greenery and unexpected touches.

I'm still so in love with the florals Kelly created for our wedding! We wanted to focus on using seasonal, local florals (as much as possible for a November wedding) and Kelly totally got our vision. She was super easy and fun to work with. Using seasonal flowers, we didn't know what exactly what would end up being available, but we totally trusted Kelly—it was clear she put so much thought and love into her floral designs. The final product was more beautiful than I could have imagined. Thank you Kelly for everything!

From the moment we met Jayelyn, we felt seen, understood, and inspired. She didn’t just design arrangements; she crafted an atmosphere. Every petal, every color tone, every scent felt intentional — soft, romantic, and luxurious without ever feeling overdone. The team built us a floral installation that smelled like a garden at sunrise — fragrant, ethereal, and full of life. Guests were literally taking photos with the arrangements because they couldn’t believe they were real! What impressed me most was the heart behind everything. Jayelyn checked in, asked about our story, and even customized the bouquet with blooms that symbolized my grandmother’s favorite flower. That kind of emotional care is rare.
