The Faux Bouquets 
Rating: 5.0 (43 reviews)
  • Starts at $175
  • Serves Hallsville, TX

Believe it or not, we often have people ask if our pictures throughout our website are showing a mix of fresh and faux and…no they aren’t! Although fresh florals are pretty, we are totally in love with poser-blooms all the way here and that’s what we design 100% of our orders with.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Faux Bouquets was an exceptional choice for our wedding flowers. From the very first interaction, their communication was efficient and professional, making the planning process seamless. The team at The Faux Bouquets was highly detail-oriented, crafting extraordinary, beautiful floral arrangements that perfectly complemented our wedding day. Having a first look allowed me to see the flowers ahead of time and make any small tweaks I wanted. The end result was simply stunning - my bouquet and the ceremony decor were absolutely breathtaking. I cannot recommend The Faux Bouquets highly enough for their top-notch service and exquisite work.

Woodsy floral 
Rating: 5.0 (14 reviews)
  • Starts at $750
  • Serves Hallsville, TX

Woodsy Floral started by accident believe it or not. Flowers have always been a part of my husband and I’s marriage. Every Friday or every other Friday my husband, Lonnie would go get fresh stems from the floral shop down the road from our house. With crazy looks he grabbed them. This turned into me making arrangements for our events. When some of our friends saw these floral arrangements, they asked if we could make more for their events. This was the beginning of our small business, now we were blessed with opening a store front in 2025, this is in downtown Midlothian. We are now made in Midlothian, TX!

Awarded Best of Zola
I found Woodsy Floral through Zola. From the moment I sent in an injury, Lonnie and his wife were super personable, kind, and easy going. After a quick phone to talk vision and budget, I knew I had found my florist. It was so nice to have a vendor that genuinely cared. Lonnie is the nicest man! He would check in often and was flexible making him easy to work with. He captured my vision of simplicity and romance perfectly. The day of the wedding, he was super hands on and quick to lend a hand to my other vendors which really helped the afternoon run smoothly. I cannot thank Woodsy Floral enough for doing what they do! I highly recommend this team!!

Bloom Culture: Do-it-yourself Wedding Flowers

Bloom Culture helps couples DIY their wedding flowers with confidence — even if you’ve never arranged flowers before. We ship wholesale flowers to your door and provide a full plan that shows you what to order, how much you need, and how to put everything together. You’ll know exactly how many stems go into each bouquet, centerpiece, boutonniere — and how to assemble them step-by-step. Choose one of our DIY flower kits or get a custom plan based on your colors, style, and budget.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to peek at my page. My name is Tiffani, the artist behind the beautiful floral designs. I am just a girl who loves everything about Love and flowers. 🌸. I put my heart and soul into every single design I create for my brides.

Awarded Best of Zola
Tiffani & Co floral design was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, she was always very responsive and helpful, making the process of selecting and customizing our florals seamless. On the day of the wedding, the Tiffani & Co team went above and beyond in their preparation and design work - the florals were some of the most beautiful I've ever seen. As someone who has been in the wedding industry for 8 years, I've seen hundreds and hundreds of weddings and florals, and Tiffani & Co exceeded all of my expectations. The attention to detail & the design work was unlike anything I’ve seen. I literally cried when she brought my bouquet to me because of how beautiful it was. Their commitment to making our day special was truly exceptional. I will be recommending Tiffani & Co. Floral to all of my clients and anyone I know getting married! I am still blown away just thinking about it and looking at iPhone pics. I don’t have pics back from the photographer yet, but I will post another review when we get them back I wish i had words that describe how grateful I am for everything that was done for us!

The florals were beautiful and she even hand-painted each vase to ensure it was the exact color we were looking for. Beyond her wedding talent, Rebecca genuinely cares for her couples.

Pick a Bloom was founded on love and laughter in small-town Surry, Virginia by us, a mother daughter duo, who wanted to see our vision of fresh flower alternatives bloom to life. We work primarily with 100% REAL preserved and dried flowers and foliage.

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!

Okay, first off, as the bride, when I came down stairs and heard from a bridesmaid that there might have been trouble with the flowers that morning because of an issue during transportation, I obviously got a tad worried. But I have to say, even knowing that we lost some flowers, I could not tell. The florals were exactly as I pictured based on my inspo pics (honestly better having finally seen everything all together). And Arianna was spectacular at making everything appear seamless and beautiful despite any hiccups that morning. You can't ask for anything better in your vendors than the ability to stay calm under less-than-ideal circumstances, adapt, and STILL execute the vision perfectly. Truly, I could not have picked a better florist. She listened to all of my many rambling ideas, asked a ton of questions to make sure she understood, and was the picture of calm and professionalism on the day-of! I love finding people who love what they do, and this is her - you must book Swept Away Florals!!

Zombie Flowers 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Serves Hallsville, TX

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. Protecting this wide world from the pestilence that is the zombie flower is no small feat, but I've learned to survive. 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.

I only had bouquet and my now husband had a lapel crawler. The dried flower arrangement from Zombie Flowers was stunning. It looked incredible in photos and is still just as beautiful now. Knowing it will last forever makes it such a meaningful keepsake.
