More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

We can't recommend OLAS enough! Our photographer, Victoria, was amazing—super bubbly and made us feel comfortable right away during both our engagement and wedding shoots. She was so fun to work with while remaining highly professional and knowledgeable. The variety in our photos was incredible, but some of my favorites were the natural ones that perfectly captured our personalities. The rest of the OLAS team was also fantastic, helping us develop a detailed timeline and sharing portfolios of potential photographers to choose from. We received our photos quickly, and they were beautifully edited and of exceptional quality. Be sure to check out OLAS—and definitely ask for Victoria!

I ordered the silk magnolia bouquet (Shelbie Bridal Bouquet - Hand tied) and opted for the scent to be added. They arrived and already looked perfect with very minimal fluffing/adjustment. I was nervous the scent would be strong or too artificial but it was light and natural. They photographed beautifully and let me have a taste of home with the magnolias all the way across the country. Gorgeous.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.9

  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Cowden, IL

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!!

Tom Munaco was a fantastic videographer. We are so glad we chose him to document our day! The first thing that drew us in to Tom was his affordability. Out of all of the videographers we researched, he had the more affordable prices with high quality work! His videos are romantic and fun to really reflect your special day. He was also one of the only videographers that would give you raw footage at no extra cost! Tom was very well organized and flexible with us throughout the entire process especially throughout COVID. He is an incredibly nice and down to earth guy that took away any stress we had on our actual wedding day. He went the extra mile with our teaser by playing to some of the unique elements of our own wedding. The drone footage was incredible!

Godfred was absolutely amazing to work with and his talent is beyond! We cannot recommend him enough. He knows exactly what to capture and his editing is unmatched. Looking through his content before we decided to work with him, it was clear that he takes time to customize the feel, energy, and vibes of his films to exactly who the couple is. He films are so much more cinematic, bespoke, and unique compared to a lot of other vendors we came across. He absolutely nailed it with our film too. It’s a perfect blend of our energy as a couple! We are so thrilled to have worked with him. These films are lasting memories of the sounds and motions throughout our wedding day and were so thankful that we have them for the rest of our lives to look back on! Thank you thank you Godfred!

The Faux Bouquets was a wonderful florist to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was prompt, clear, and friendly. They walked us through the process seamlessly and the quality of their work was excellent. The bouquets, boutonnières, garlands with clip on flowers, and centerpieces had an authentic, natural look despite being faux flowers. Pricing is transparent and affordable, making it an easy decision to choose Faux Bouquets. The bright spring colors in the Garden Vibrance collection were beautiful, annd a perfect fit for our late May wedding. The order arrived with ample lead time prior to the wedding day. Additionally, the packaging was excellent, and their return shipment process is very simple and easy to follow. We highly recommend The Faux Bouquets to any couple planning their wedding.
