Something Borrowed Blooms is the premier rent-and-return floral and décor company in the U.S., offering beautifully curated premium silk floral collections. Couples who choose to rent typically save up to 70% compared to the cost of traditional fresh flowers. Our collections include everything you need for your wedding day, from bridal and bridesmaid bouquets to boutonnieres, garlands, centerpieces, aisle markers, cake flowers, swags, flower combs and crowns, wedding décor, and more. Each design is thoughtfully curated to create a cohesive, elevated look from ceremony to reception.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We rented flowers through Something Borrowed Blooms and went with the Jane collection. Flowers were lower on our tier of priorities, so this worked well for us. It was easy to book, rent, and send them back. The one downside was that they changed what the collection looked like between when I booked the flowers and when I received them, and there was no option to go back to the original. They changed the bridesmaids’ flowers to be more floral, when I chose the Jane collection due to the greenery. As flowers weren’t specifically important to me, this wasn’t that big of a deal, but it didn’t feel great to not be able to get what we originally wanted and paid for. After reaching out to them about this issue, we did get a 50% discount on the bridesmaid flowers.”

“My husband and I used Direct Entertainment for our DJ and videographer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased!! The team was professional, great at communication, very kind and professional, and they helped make our day absolutely perfect! Jeff, our DJ kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT!! When the music had to stop at the end of the night, the dance floor was still completely full and no one wanted it to end. He did a great job announcing the events of the night, made sure that our ceremony music was perfect, and he stuck to our wedding playlist with the exception for a couple guest requests (which we were happy to allow). We were so happy and thankful to have Jeff there! Sie, our videographer also did a wonderful job! We have not yet received our video as our wedding was less than 2 weeks ago, but I already know it is going to be amazing. He was so great with communication, was prompt with his timing, and he even set up a second camera for guests to break away and give us well wishes for our marriage, which I'm so excited to watch back. He was very professional and wonderful to work with. We decided to add videography at the last minute because we thought we might regret not having it, and I am SO happy we asked Jim at Direct Entertainment if they had someone available for our day just a month before, and they did!! Jim, the coordinator at Direct Entertainment frequently checked in with us, asked us questions about ourselves, and genuinely made us feel like he cared about us and our special day. He was great to work with leading up to being assigned our designated DJ and videographer, and even after, he checked in to make sure we were happy and that all of the planning was going well. Overall, we would 1000% recommend Direct Entertainment for any wedding entertainment needs! I know they also offer several other services that we did not utilize, and I'm sure they are wonderful as well! Photos courtesy of Lang at Wandering Wolf Photography.”

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.9 (105 reviews)
  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Mattoon, 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.

“I cannot recommend PressRecord enough! From start to finish, the entire process was incredibly easy and completely stress-free. The camcorders were simple for our guests to use, and everything was clearly explained, making the whole experience foolproof. What truly impressed me was their customer service. They were unbelievably kind and responded to every email so quickly. They even re-edited our wedding film **twice** to make sure it was exactly what we envisioned, and they happily searched through all of the footage to include very specific moments that were important to us. The most meaningful thing they did was incorporate a photo I sent them of our memorial table honoring my mom and my husband's grandparents who had passed away. Including that tribute in our wedding video meant more to us than I can express, and I'm so grateful they took the time to make it happen. Our final 5-minute home video feels so personal and captures the heart of our wedding day perfectly. If you're considering PressRecord, do it—you'll not only end up with an amazing keepsake, but you'll also be working with a team that genuinely cares about preserving what matters most.”

Hi, I’m Jovan Kiah — a wedding and portrait photographer based just outside Indianapolis. I’m your personal hype woman, passionate about capturing vibrant, true-to-color moments that feel like you. From big milestones to everyday magic, I’m here to freeze time in a way that’s real, timeless, and joy-filled. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m soaking up motherhood, planning game nights, or enjoying something sweet—because life’s too short not to.

Awarded Best of Zola
“It’s hard to put into words just how amazing our experience with Jovan was! From the start, she took the time to truly listen to our vision and understand our story. We wanted our engagement photos to capture our love story in bloom among the spring tulips, and she brought that vision to life more beautifully than we could have imagined. When we ran into a last-minute hiccup with our original location, Jovan immediately jumped in with alternative suggestions, and we are so grateful she did. The setting ended up being perfect—better than the original location, and the way she tells a story through her photography is simply incredible. Every image captured not just how we looked, but how we felt in that moment. Beyond her talent, Jovan is so fun (lots of laughs), engaging, and easy to work with. She made the entire experience feel natural and memorable. There is truly no one better to trust with your most important moments. We absolutely love our engagement photos and are even more excited for Jovan to photograph our wedding next year! Thank you, Jovan, for capturing this special season of our lives so perfectly. We couldn't be more grateful!”

“My husband and I were beyond impressed with our entire experience with Debra Aslanidis Photography. From start to finish Debra made my experience as a bride so smooth and stress-free. Wedding planning can be a stressful process, but Debra provided excellent communication about what to expect leading up to the wedding and the day of, so we felt very at ease the entire time. When I ran into an unrelated issue (a problem with another vendor), Debra reached out and sent me recommendations and offered support while I dealt with the situation. It was unbelievably kind and not at all expected, but it really made me feel cared for and I appreciated Debra going above and beyond for me! On the day of our wedding, Debra and her partner Jeremy were absolutely phenomenal. For one, they worked so perfectly together. We had guests complimenting how well they worked and coordinated together! I seriously can’t thank them enough for not only being amazing photographers, but also helping with other tasks that they voluntarily did. I seriously felt like they assumed the role of our wedding coordinators at times, since we didn’t have one, by providing suggestions and opinions since they’re the experienced ones when it comes to weddings! I couldn’t be more thankful for their confidence and comfortability in doing so! Finally, I am seriously blown away by the fact that we got our photos about a month after our wedding day! Debra has worked weddings, engagement shoots, and other photoshoots every single weekend and has a family, yet still managed to bust her butt to finish our photos, and it was the best surprise to get our photos back right before celebrating one month of marriage. I am so in love with our photos and have looked at them every single day, multiple times a day, since getting them back. Photos are the one thing you keep from your wedding day (besides your memories!), and I am absolutely in love with the final photos! The editing is beautiful, and I’m so happy we prioritized finding a photographer who emphasizes the behind-the-scenes and candid moments. I love that our pictures are 100% in the moment and capture the real, raw emotions of everyone! There were several detailed shots of our venue and decor and I love those just as much as I love the ones of me, my husband, our families, and our friends! They’re all so stunning!! Our photos made me laugh, cry, audibly say “awww,” and smile the biggest, cheesy grin. I absolutely believe your photographer is one of the most important vendors you choose for your wedding day, and I would 1000% recommend Debra Aslanidis Photography to everyone I know!!”

“I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Brayley. From start to finish, she was hands down one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding. I originally found her on Instagram and immediately fell in love with her work. From our very first consultation, I knew I wanted her as our photographer. She was so incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, and intentional with the questions she asked. She genuinely wanted to get to know us and make sure our personalities, vision, and overall vibe were a good fit for her photography style — and that level of care continued through the entire process. Once we booked her, she made everything SO easy. She checked in with us throughout the planning process, sent update emails, always offered to help however she could, and gave us the most detailed resources to prepare for the wedding day. She had checklists for detail photos, preference sheets, planning documents — seriously, everything you could possibly think of. I never once felt like I had to wonder what she needed from me because she had already thought of it. And then came the wedding day… Brayley was absolutely INCREDIBLE. We only booked her without a second photographer, and somehow she managed to capture our entire night so perfectly. She was everywhere without ever feeling intrusive. She never made us feel rushed or stressed, even when we were running a little behind while getting ready. She rolled with everything, kept things moving, and somehow even managed to wrangle all of the boys and get every group photo we wanted. What I loved most, though, was how much I trusted her creatively. We gave her the freedom to do what she does best, and she gave us photos that are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. She captured the big moments, the tiny moments, the emotions, the people we love, and so many little pieces of our wedding that I didn’t even realize were happening at the time. Looking through our gallery genuinely feels like reliving our wedding night. I tear up EVERY SINGLE TIME I look through our photos. She didn’t just give us beautiful wedding pictures — she gave my husband and me the ability to go back and experience one of the best nights of our lives over and over again. If you are looking at Brayley’s work and considering booking her, DO IT. There is absolutely no one else I would have wanted behind the camera on our wedding day. She is talented, organized, patient, kind, creative, and just an absolute joy to work with. Brayley, THANK YOU for capturing our wedding so beautifully and giving us photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives. I truly cannot recommend you enough.”
