      Highland Springs Floral
      East Concord, NY

        In May of 2015, when I got married, we only had a week long engagement, so we collected bridal veil and lily of the valley from our gardens, and my mother cut lilacs from my grandmother's shrub. Every year, on our anniversary, our table is graced with the same flowers that I carried on my wedding day, and I have been enamored with the local flower movement ever since. We grow our flowers in harmony with nature. Our gardens are biodiverse, regenerative and naturally maintained. We design each arrangement in the spirit of mother nature; honored, collected and arranged by an artists' hand. We use sustainable techniques and no foam.

        I highly recommend Jen with Wood & Word Blooms. I was unsure about “fake flowers” but didn’t want to go through the effort of maintaining real flowers on the Big Day. When I saw her Instagram I couldn’t believe her flowers were made out of wood!!! They’re not hard at all, they are sort of soft so they look so similar to the real thing. I had several people ask me “Those are made out of wood?!?” I loved them and they were a big, BIG hit with everyone who either saw them in person or saw pictures of them. So thankful to Jen and will recommend her any day!

        I just wanted to reach out finally after our wedding and let you know how in love I was with all our floral decisions! The process was easy, seamless and, with a little help from my friends, a memory maker. I was totally oooo-ing and ahhhhhh-ing opening all the flower boxes after i picked them up! Each box was another wonderful surprise and i was floored with the quality! AND, best part, they lasted for days and being transported in the back of a work van to the Cape for our festivities. I have been highly recommending your business to everyone that asks. I’ve included some of the professional photos in case you wanted to use them on your site, due to file size, I’ll send a second email with additional photos. Again, I’m in love with bloom culture and cannot thank you enough for customized boho beauty your flowers added to our wedding!

        • Serves Lackawanna, NY for additional fees

        After beginning a career in the home interiors industry in NYC, I found myself longing for a creative outlet! I began taking a few floral design courses to keep myself sane and fell in love! After 7 years in the city, I decided it was time for a break and moved back upstate to the Adirondacks. Here I began working at my family's business, Tromblee's Greenhouse, furthering my love for flowers. As customers began to ask for floral arrangements an organic business outlet was created. Blee's is a nod to the business that grew my love for flowers, my connection to a community, and a family that welcomed me.

        We met Megan at a wedding styled shoot and fell completely in love with her floral work. I reached out to her for our actual wedding and she brought our vision to life! She was very professional, creative, and easy to work with, as well as a great communicator. She and a colleague arrived promptly on our big day and really transported us to a tropical getaway with the table decor, floral arch, and my bouquet. We highly recommend working with Blee's!

Vitae is so personable and so kind, and she worked so hard to make sure I was getting what I wanted out of my wedding flowers. She also allowed me to pick and choose what I wanted to do with her and what I wanted to do myself/use fake flowers or greenery for, which was so helpful considering how expensive wedding flowers can get. The florals Vitae did were breathtaking. Everyone commented on them. They were absolutely perfect for my fall wedding, and they complimented our colors so well. They really tied everything together, and Vitae's excitement for us and our future was infectious. Highly recommend to anyone!
