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
I had the absolute best experience with The Faux Bouquets. The flowers were absolutely stunning for my wedding. The owner, Brittany, was so kind and even called me to make sure my wedding wouldn't be affected by Hurricane Helene. Thankfully, my area was not affected, but I just really felt that was a special kindness that needs to be called out. But again, the quality of the bouquets, micro sprays and greenery was so great and photographed so well! And all at a fraction of the cost of real flowers that would have just been thrown away at the end of the night! The delivery and return process couldn't have been simpler! And I loved my husband and I got to customize and keep my bouquet and his boutonniere during a promotional add-on! Thank you again, Brittany and The Faux Bouquets, for helping make our wedding so beautiful!

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!

I cannot say enough nice things about Petals and Stems Market! Tracy is the most lovely woman and so talented. She did all of the florals for our wedding in January 2023. We had a unique vision for what we wanted - succulents woven in with flowers and lots of greenery. I sent over some vague Pinterest inspiration photos and we spoke about the vision a few times. Let me say, Tracy DELIVERED! From the beginning, she made it clear she liked this fun and unique vibe and totally got it. She knocked it out of the park! I had some more unique requests, like decorating our Vespa scooter, and she was so enthusiastic about these little touches. She was easy to communicate with via text and email. She is so sweet and several other vendors, including our venue, said that she was lovely to work with on the day of the wedding. I found her prices to be extremely reasonable for the high quality work she does. Tracy is extremely inclusive and LGBTQ friendly! I would recommend her to any type of couple.

Our clients say that we are easy to work with, beautiful designs, artistic, quick to respond and sincere.

I cannot say enough good things about the bluegrass team, specifically Meghan. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and if we didn’t have bluegrass and Meghan on board I know things would’ve been so different. For the past two weeks after my wedding I’m STILL getting calls and texts asking if my flowers were real, if I spent 10s of thousands of dollars on them and overall just how STUNNING everything looked. The team took my vision and made it into something so unreal and I’m so grateful to them. When Meghan showed my my bouquet for the first time I started to cry because it was just that beautiful. I will never recommend another florist because really the only option is Bluegrass if you’re in the central Florida area. HUGE special thanks to Meghan, you are an absolute angel, so talented and so caring thank you thank you thank you!
