“Working with Something Borrowed Blooms was a breeze from start to finish. It was so easy to bring my vision to life. The flowers they delivered were stunning and vibrant, with a level of quality that honestly exceeded what I was expecting. I did notice a few blooms had some dirt and crumbs on them when they arrived, so I had to do a quick clean with a steamer, but it was a minor fix. They were a bit spendier than I would have thought, but overall their work was beautiful and realistic and they nailed exactly what we were going for. I'd definitely recommend them to other couples looking for an easy and resourceful floral opportunity.”

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.9 (106 reviews)
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Dola, OH

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.

I am an event coordinator/ florist who has been doing independent work for over a decade.

“Alyssa Schlegel was phenomenal to work with for our wedding. Her communication throughout the planning process was open, clear, and always positive. The floral arrangements she created for our ceremony and reception were simply breathtaking - it truly felt like we had been transported to an enchanted forest. Alyssa also took on the role of day-of coordinator, which was invaluable and allowed us to fully enjoy our special day without any stress. The quality of her work was magnificent, and the value she provided was more extremely reasonable. We cannot recommend Alyssa Schlegel Floral highly enough to any couple planning their wedding.”

“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!”

“David with Rosado Events & Design.... AMAZING...seriously!! I cannot thank David enough, from start to finish, his services, professionalism, knowledge, responsiveness and delivery were more than I could have asked for. He made everything so easy. He made the vision of my wedding florals beyond what I could have ever dreamed of. The centerpieces which were upgraded and elevated beyond my greatest imagination ... were fairytale-like. I was not able to meet him in person through all the craziness the day of BUT David, I hope you read this and know, that you and your team are IT. The first email I read from you (amongst endless vendor emails), I told my fiance, "idk why but I get a feeling he is the one" as he was so professional, personable and likeable in just email that I was ready to move forward with him - after my fiance spoke with him over the phone - he said "I get what you mean". I would also like to mention we planned this wedding in 3 months and he was able to provide services without hesitation like we had been planning for a year. I ordered 23 main table centerpieces, 10 cocktail tables centerpieces, sweetheart table florals, bar florals, 7 bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres .. it was not a simple easy order (in my mind), but he sure made it feel this way. EVERYTHING was above my expectations. David was able to work with varied price points while using his creativity to deliver nothing but exceptional decor. Me and my now husband are blessed to have you complete our dream wedding. Thank you Rosado Events and Design! Garyn and Riz”

After the global zombie apocalypse, in the early winter of '24, I heeded the call, picked up my shovel and shotgun and headed out to the fields.

I've made it my mission to hunt these jokers down, wrangle them together, and to serve to you dead off the proverbial platter. In these post-apocalyptic times, the zombie flowers make for excellent mantle trophies, but some have said they make awesome wedding bouquets. Whatever your cup of tea, these zombie flowers are one of a kind prepared just for you.

“We contracted Zombie Flowers to provide bouquets for our runway models at Uncon Bridal Con. They were amazing at their communication leading up to the event and delivered the bouquets promptly according to our schedule the day of the event. Their punctuality gave our models enough time to rehearse the runway with their florals. Aside from their great professionalism, Zombie Flowers is a super creative company. Their floral arrangements can be described as wild, yet put together giving a very unique aesthetic that you can't find from Etsy. The best thing that brides say about their products is that their lightweight and already preserved for life. We cannot recommend them enough to add something special to your wedding day!”
