Awarded Best of Zola
As a Coordinator, I had the honor of collaborating with Misty Acres for a wedding this weekend, and I can honestly say they are a breath of fresh air in the world of floristry! Aside from their commitment to locally sourcing and growing their own flowers, they crafted elevated, whimsical, and STUNNING floral arrangements that truly enhanced the day. From the moment they arrived (ahead of schedule) their passion and dedication were clear. The florals weren’t just decor, they were pieces of art that brought a lovely garden feel while perfectly aligning with the theme. Misty Acres didn’t just meet expectations, they exceeded them, making my client’s day extra special with their incredible talent and keen eye for detail. I can’t recommend them highly enough for anyone looking to elevate their wedding with breathtaking florals. Thank you, Misty Acres, for making our day unforgettable!

I cannot say enough good things about Katya! She went above and beyond for our wedding in making sure it was all exactly how I envisioned and more. She genuinely cared about making sure I was happy above everything else which spoke volumes. Due to budget constraints, we were going to have to do some fake hydrangeas which I was really bummed about, but she surprised me on our wedding day with more real than we were expecting! It meant so much to me and truly shows her heart behind her work! Our day would not have been the same without her! She was by far our best vendor for our wedding and I highly recommend her to anyone! She is so kind and extremely talented/knowledgeable! She is extremely creative and will more than execute any design, and she was super easy to communicate with. I second all the other reviews on here— she’s truly the best there is!

Some dream of this moment from the very moment they found the romantic discovery of weddings as children. Some never imagined themselves being so completely, utterly, absolutely in love as to get married. Maybe you never even thought about it before— whatever the case may be, florals are one aspect that must be perfect on this day.

We do not have anything negative to say about the wonderful team at Visual Lyrics. It is clear they have experience both creating stunning floral arrangements and working with wedding vendors and coordinators to make your event a seamless and beautiful experience. Our meeting with them in person prior to our wedding was full of personal touches, and we felt they listened to our wants and had great suggestions. Furthermore, our wedding plans were in constant flux with challenges of 2020, but Visual Lyrics were flexible and communicative throughout our entire wedding planning, and they helped make our day one we won't soon forget. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.9 (78 reviews)
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Cedar Park, TX

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
This is my second experience with Flower Moxie, and it was just as good if not better than the first time around. I did the flowers for my friends’ kids’ weddings and used Flower Moxie as our primary source, especially for the more unusual flowers. We used another source for some of the filler flowers that was very inexpensive (starts with a C and ends with an o…) and the flowers were inexpensive and plentiful, but not as exciting as the ones available here, the quality was not the same, but the biggest difference is the customer service. We had a few issues with the flowers (I think it would be surprising not to, based on how many and what kind we ordered), and Alexa, Luis, and Mariale were AMAZING with their immediate and helpful support. They rushed out replacements that were perfect, and worked with us to make sure we were 100% happy with everything. Huge shout out to their team - it is very stressful in the days leading up to the big event, and they took a big weight off. If you are unsure about what to get, I highly recommend going with their packages based on color — their recommendations for flowers and amounts are spot on. The videos showing you how to build everything are incredibly helpful and delightfully snarky. I highly recommend!!

I'm Lisa, the creative mind behind Wild Stem- an event styling and floral design studio based in Conroe, Texas, serving the surrounding areas and beyond for destination events. I specialize in intentional, artfully curated floral arrangements that go beyond the ordinary.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very beginning, Lisa was the most responsive and easy to work with vendor in my entire wedding planning experience. She responded to my texts within an hour and was always open to walking through my vision and expressing valuable opinions to help make that happen. Not only was she INCREDIBLE in the planning aspect, but her and her team absolutely killed the execution of the big day. From the time they got to the venue they were working their booties off and made my vision even more than I could have ever anticipated. It’s important to note I got married on May 25th, it was 95 degree by 12:00 and it was horribly humid, the worst conditions to be setting flowers up. They moved my florals all over the venue throughout the day to accommodate various photo needs and again, helped me come up with alternate plans to battle the heat and protect the integrity of the florals on the big day. They moved flowers at least 3 times throughout the day and even came back at 11:00 to help clean everything up. My entire family noticed and respected their hustle in making this day absolutely incredible. I cannot recommend Wild Stem enough, she will be my first call for any and all floral needs in the future. I will leave another review once I get photos back from my photographer, the photos I have attached don’t even begin to show the magnitude of what they created, but my bouquet was perfect!

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Paula and Samantha pretty down to the wire of our wedding, but they immediately jumped in! We contacted them on Friday, and they had our proposal ready by Monday! Our flowers fit our vibe perfectly: I wanted something to pull from the venue's brick, but not look too "autumny" for our January wedding, and they nailed it! They look and feel like "regular" flowers, but they'll last forever and have so far held up perfectly! We're gifting a number of our pieces to our mothers and grandmothers as keepsakes from our amazing day, while saving the rest to display around our house! We're so happy to have such beautiful mementoes to remember it by!
