Willow Floral Studios creates unique, modern arrangements for weddings and events in the Finger Lakes Region and beyond. From elopements to large installations, we treat each client with the same care. Our focus is bringing your vision to reality.

Willow Floral Studios was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our first interaction with David and the team, their communication style was open, honest, and helpful, which put us at ease. Whenever we asked for David’s input on other decor (signage, day-of paper, jewelry), he was quick to respond and very constructive with his feedback. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - their floral arrangements were unique, classy, timeless and filled with vibrant, colorful blooms. They seamlessly incorporated special charms into my bouquet, and creatively included shades of purple and orange throughout the ceremony and reception decor, which perfectly matched our dream wedding palette. Willow Floral Studios exceeded our expectations and helped make our special day even more beautiful. We highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.9

  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Chemung, NY

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 was by far one of the best decisions and money savers I could’ve done for myself. The flowers were top quality, beautiful, and we had a blast putting them together with our family. Flower Mocie is simple and they have videos that will help you prepare in advance for your vision and piecing your bouquets together. I was quoted 5000 for florals by other vendors, but with flower moxie and a little creativity, we only spent 500 to cover 12 bouquets and 16 boutonnières. HIGGLY RECOMMEND

Heather and Jay were incredible to work with. I truly cannot thank them enough. Heather did full decor for my whole wedding weekend. I had an Indian wedding so there were TONS of design needs (frankly more than I thought), and Heather accommodated every request and was so helpful through all the planning. We would have check-in phone calls, and she would walk us through spreadsheets with every tiny decor detail recorded. She was also very helpful with planning and was upfront about everything, gave us options to work through any budgeting/feasibility concerns, and helped with a lot of that wedding decision fatigue. Her husband Jay was instrumental in some of the more elaborate things we asked for, like balconies draped in greenery and a mandap stage. They did two site visits with us for our peace of mind so we could get every detail hammered out. Heather also made lots of great suggestions when I was out of my depth and coordinated with our venue. On the weekend of, I saw her once or twice but otherwise just trusted her absolutely to execute. And the actual decor! It was BEAUTIFUL. She turned our reception hall and outdoor wedding tent into a lush, colourful flower wonderland. We had a rustic barn onsite, and she draped the roof with poms and disco balls. She also used bright colours and dried flowers to brighten the indoors. Her husband Jay custom built us wooden pools for a Hindi haldi ceremony. Our wedding mandap was covered in beautiful roses, and it was magical to get married under. Each space felt distinct and memorable but all beautiful crafted. I could tell a lot of love and thought went into every part. Do not hesitate to book with Cullen Creations. You are in incredible hands. As a bride, I worried and hoped that my vendors would treat my special day which as much care as I was putting in. With Heather, I never had a doubt. She made all my needs feel heard and ultimately made magic happen.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am honestly not even sure where to start. Charmaine was absolutely incredible. Originally, my husband and I were very nervous about hiring a florist. I mean, flowers are expensive! After a few weeks of wedding planning, however, we realized that we couldn't do it all ourselves. That's when we reached out to Charmaine. During our first call, I explicitly expressed our budget concerns with her. She made sure to keep our concerns in mind throughout the entire process, and the results were beautiful flowers that were right in our price range! Charmaine was consistently professional, kind, and she always responded to my texts and calls within minutes. Even though I hired her as a florist, she turned out to be a wonderful wedding planner as well! The florals were absolutely stunning! She went above and beyond for both the ceremony and reception. We received so many complements on them. I cannot recommend her enough for weddings and events!

I am so happy that we found Jill for our upstate wedding—she and her team are amazing! Flowers are not my strong suit, and from the very beginning, Jill was helpful with her creative suggestions and floral/design knowledge. I sent her my Pinterest board and she developed a perfect vision of what our wedding could look like. She was flexible and always available for a quick call to review details and answer our questions. Her guidance was invaluable, and the final arrangements and table décor were STUNNING. I cannot emphasize enough just how many compliments we received for our vibrant, unique floral arrangements and beautifully decorated tables. Jill and her team were absolutely wonderful, and I could not have asked for a kinder, more talented floral team.

Hi there! I’m Karina, an architect turned floral designer dabbling in all things daisies and more! My enthusiasm for floristry began in Brooklyn as a way to express my love for nature and design, but mostly so I could bring color, life, and beauty into my apartment on, you guessed it, Dean Street! Now, Dean Street Daisies has blossomed into a full-service floral and event design studio on the Hudson River in Irvington, NY where I live and create in a converted chapel with my husband and two cats!

Karina was incredible. She had the very difficult task of doing our florals in the middle of winter right after a snow storm. She managed to make it work and make it more beautiful than we imagined. She also built a custom chuppah for us to match the wood tones of our venue. 10/10 would recommend.

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!
