Hannah was an absolute dream to work with. She responded very quickly to all of my messages and was always positive and friendly. I sent her some inspirational pictures, and she was able to recommend numerous options! I opted for the DIY workshop, and I have NO regrets. Hannah was even kinder in person and was able to guide and assist me in bringing my vision to life. Some of my friends were concerned that making my own bouquets the day before my wedding would be stressful, but it was so fun to have a final moment with just my mom and I, and it was therapeutic to create and control exactly what I wanted. The flowers were beautiful, the experience was amazing, and Hannah was the best to work with.

A Little Bit of Green by Lisa LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
Cincinnati, OH
  • Starts at $900

While learning the art of floral design at a local Cincinnati florist many years ago, I quickly realized how much I enjoyed working on wedding florals! I love the fact that there's nothing but happiness and joy on wedding days. So, for several years, I learned and appreciated different techniques taught to me by my co-workers. As a mom of two though, the time came for me to work from home to accommodate my kids schedules. Fortunately, I was blessed with a few people who gave me a chance on their weddings, and after a few things were figured out, A Little Bit of Green by Lisa was created!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband I got married fall of 2024, and Lisa was the absolute best to work with. She encouraged our spreadsheet and inspiration board, and from our first meeting, she knew exactly what we were looking for. Despite having never worked with a florist before, Lisa made everything seamless. She truly helped transform an already beautiful space into a stunning display of class and elegance. I couldn't recommend Lisa enough and hope to work with her again in the future!

Midsummer Floral Design 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Cincinnati, OH
  • Starts at $6,000

I love working with couples to bring their floral vision to life, curating floral pieces that match your vision and style. Every aspect is considered, from the flowers chosen to the shape and feel of the designs, to capture that feeling you are looking for on your big day.

Rachael really knows what she's doing when it comes to flowers! I had no specific vision in mind and although my wedding was in the Fall, with it being in December I wanted more of a winter theme. All it took was me telling Rachael what flowers I was hoping to incorporate into my bouquets and Rachael did the rest! The bouquets and all of the other floral decor turned out better than anything I could have hoped for. She made sure I didn't forget anything and it all turned out so beautiful, I was seriously amazed at what she was able to do. I will always recommend her for floral needs!

    • Serves Cincinnati, OH

    I'm Libby, and my flower farm is tucked away in the (sometimes) sunny fields of Ohio. Mornings start with coffee and a moment with Jesus, while the kids and bees are already working hard. I'm hooked on both flowers and farming, and watching them grow side-by-side is pure magic. I love designing bouquets that burst with color and life, just like the blooms I nurture every season. When you choose my flowers, you're not just decorating, you're getting a slice of our joyful, messy farm life, infused with sunshine, strong coffee, and a whole lotta love.

From start to finish, Libby was so easy to work with kind, responsive, and truly dedicated to bringing my vision to life. On the wedding day, she handled everything flawlessly. The setup was stunning, every detail was perfect, and the flowers did not disappoint. My bouquet and every arrangement looked even better than I imagined. I’m so grateful for Libby’s talent, professionalism, and calm, friendly presence throughout the whole process. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and delivers breathtaking results, Maple Leaf Barn is the one. Highly recommend!

    Lovebug Florals is sustainable florist offering unique custom wedding and event flowers. It's your party, do what you want! We see floral design as an extension of art- an opportunity to create something truly dynamic. We love to help couples tell their own story through flowers!

    I don’t even know how to thank Stephanie at Lovebug Florals enough for the absolutely incredible job she did for our 5th Anniversary party. Her work went so far beyond anything I could have imagined. It truly blew my mind and exceeded every expectation. From our very first in-person meeting, I felt completely understood. We talked through my style and vision, and I trusted her enough to give her creative freedom — which was the best decision I could have made. She took my ideas and brought them to life in the most thoughtful, artistic, and stunning way. She went so far beyond what was asked of her as a florist as well. Stephanie hand-dipped and painted our taper candles, adding contrasting polka dots to match our theme, and also hand-painted our tea light vases. Every detail felt intentional and special. She even installed a massive, colorful bunting across the ceiling — something we hadn’t discussed — and it became one of the biggest highlights of the entire night. The colors, the styling, the feathers woven into the florals… it was all just perfect. Our guests were raving all night about the florals and installations, and honestly, it brought me so much joy. My eyes were full of tears when I walked in and saw the space. It was one of the true highlights of my evening. I cannot recommend Stephanie enough. I was just showing off her work and recommended her to someone else just days ago! I genuinely hope I get the chance to work with her again in the future. If you’re looking for someone who is creative, intuitive, detail-oriented, and truly gifted, Lovebug Florals is it! :)
