Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we met Jayelyn, we felt seen, understood, and inspired. She didn’t just design arrangements; she crafted an atmosphere. Every petal, every color tone, every scent felt intentional — soft, romantic, and luxurious without ever feeling overdone. The team built us a floral installation that smelled like a garden at sunrise — fragrant, ethereal, and full of life. Guests were literally taking photos with the arrangements because they couldn’t believe they were real! What impressed me most was the heart behind everything. Jayelyn checked in, asked about our story, and even customized the bouquet with blooms that symbolized my grandmother’s favorite flower. That kind of emotional care is rare. If you’re looking for more than just flowers — if you want your event to feel like an experience — Floral Eden is the one. Every bloom tells a story, and ours was unforgettable."

Penney and the team at Blossom & Bee are incredibly talented. We found them on instagram less than two months out, a little desperate to find the right florist who understood our vision. We wanted wild, organic florals with rich and a hint of soft colors to really make our day stand out and they totally delivered. They were so kind and caring the day of, making sure we loved our chuppah and everything. We cannot recommend this team enough, we already are telling our friends getting married that they have to check them out. Also, reasonably priced considering how gorgeous their work is!

Addiction Floral 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Minotola, NJ

Hi, I’m Kristine—and I’m a total flower addict. It all started in 2004 when I walked into a local flower shop hoping to land a receptionist job… and somehow never left. Fast forward 20 years, and I’m still head over heels for blooms. With a background in fine art and graphic design, I see flowers as nature’s artwork—and my favorite way to get creative. I love dreaming up floral designs that are just as unique (and fabulous) as the people I make them for.

Booking Kristine for my wedding flowers was the best decision I made for my wedding. She did an absolutely breathtaking job and my wedding guests are still talking about how beautiful the flowers were. They were truly even better than I could have imagined. My bouquet was unbelievable and every arrangement from the flower arch down to the bud vases on the tables were exactly what I had hoped they would be and more. The flowers were very high quality and my bouquet, my bridesmaids' bouquets, and the bud vases that guests took home lasted many days beyond the wedding. Kristine was so enthusiastic about my wedding vision and color palette and was great at communication throughout the planning process. She sent a proposal after our first conversation that brought together my inspiration with her ideas, and was flexible with changes I had leading up to the big day. She was so friendly and so supportive throughout the process and was extremely dedicated on the day of to make sure everything looked perfect. Even when there was an issue with one of the corsages she stopped everything to fix it on the spot so that it was ready for the ceremony. I highly recommend Kristine at Addiction Floral for her beautiful floral style, enthusiasm, and attention to detail. She has the talent, artistry, and vision you can trust to make your wedding vision come to life!

We believe flowers should feel like an experience, full of warmth, creativity, and ease. From the very first conversation, our process is collaborative, friendly, and deeply personal. I’ve always been drawn to the feeling of summer: warm light, flowers in full bloom, and spaces that feel alive and welcoming. That sense of ease and joy is what I bring into my work and the way I connect with people. At my core, I believe in creating beauty that feels good to be around. Hey Sunshine is rooted in thoughtful, joyful florals that feel personal, intentional, and full of warmth.

Words cannot fully capture Meg's incredible talent. From our very first conversation, we knew working with her would be a delightful experience, and we couldn’t have been more right. Meg is the ideal florist for your wedding. I’ve never been happier with a decision, and I wholeheartedly recommend her. She flawlessly brought my vision for a vibrant, fun, and simple fall wedding in LBI to life, incorporating colorful citrus elements beautifully. Meg understood exactly what I wanted, worked within my budget, and shared my excitement throughout the planning process. Her creativity far surpassed my expectations, transforming my vision into a breathtaking reality. The florals were absolutely STUNNING, and the ceremony and reception setup was pure magic. It was perfection in every way.

Marie's Flower Shoppe has been serving The Wildwoods, Avalon, Cape May, Stone Harbor, New Jersey, since 1973. Quality and excellence in service has been the foundation for our success. Over the past twenty years I have designed and serviced hundreds of weddings, from a simple bridal bouquets and boutonnieres to a large scale weddings which may take place either on the beach or in a beautiful church.

We couldn’t be more impressed with the floral work provided by Sharon at Marie’s flowers for our fall wedding. With very minimal input from us, Sharon delivered stunning arrangements that perfectly captured the seasonal elegance we hoped for—warm tones, rich textures, and a natural flow that complemented the venue beautifully. What truly set this experience apart was the initiative and professionalism shown throughout. The florist visited the venue on their own ahead of time to scope out the space—without us even asking. This proactive approach ensured that every floral element was thoughtfully placed and harmonized with the surroundings. On the day of the wedding, everything was executed with precision and timeliness. The setup was seamless, and the displays were ready well ahead of schedule, allowing us to focus on enjoying the moment. We are incredibly grateful for the creativity, reliability, and care that went into making our day so memorable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a florist who blends artistry with professionalism.

Based in Wall Township, Alicia is the certified floral designer and horticultural enthusiast behind Plant Design Events. She doesn’t just arrange flowers; she masters them. By blending the latest industry trends with timeless techniques, Alicia brings a touch of effortless elegance to every "I do." Whether you’re dreaming of classic romance or vintage-inspired charm, she is dedicated to crafting floral pieces that make your celebration of love truly unforgettable.

If you are looking for a professional, kind and reasonable florist, look no further! Alicia went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. The whole process from our original consultation to the execution on the day of our wedding was such an enjoyable process, all thanks to Alicia. During our original consultation, we showed Alicia a loose idea of what we were envisioning, where she let us know that some of the flowers in the photos were not real flowers. Based on her expertise, she gave us a realistic version of similar florals and made sure it all fit within our budget. Just to make sure we knew exactly what to expect, she provided a pdf with all the florals she would be utilizing, along with a breakdown of the price, which we found super helpful. She was extremely responsive throughout the whole planning process, answering my every question (which I had a lot of because I am an over-thinker), and giving her expert opinion when we were unsure of what direction we might want to go in. Let me tell you, she did not steer us wrong! When it came to the day of the wedding, she arrived on time, dropped off the florals at the correct places (we had three different drop off locations), and made sure everything was set up perfectly. From my bouquet to the bridesmaids bouquets to the boutonnières to the tablescape and the sweetheart table design, it all turned out better than we could have imagined! We are so grateful for Alicia and could not recommend Plant Design Events more! If you hire her, you will not be disappointed!

I have been in the creative floral industry for more than 30 years. Left my corporate job to play and create and I have never looked back. I have designed and created florals for weddings and events up and down the eastern seaboard, a small town boy never strays too far. My small company also offers Planning and Coordination packages and I have great relationships among many vendors and venues. If your needs extend beyond beautiful florals, I am absolutely sure I have the person for you.

I loved how Peter was able to take what I sent him over email into exactly what I wanted. My centerpieces and bouquets were all white flowers with some greenery. Peter came up with different white flowers like roses and calla lilies to make beautiful arrangements. I never would have been able to create floral arrangements on my own, so I’m very happy that I went with his company for my big day.

  • Serves Minotola, NJ

Proud Cat & Dog Mom // Your New Wedding Vendor BFF It’s never been just about pretty flowers to me. I started out in social work because I wanted to serve and connect with others. I first entered the floral design world as an intern in 2016 and noticed a lack of originality in designs and a need for more connection between the florist and the couple. When I started WFD in 2019, I decided to prioritize both artistic designs and building long-term relationships with each couple. Planning my own wedding in 2021 gave me an even deeper appreciation for the importance of receiving creative expertise and genuine support from wedding vendors.

Misha is the most creative, talented and kind human ever! It was an absolute joy working with Misha. I am so so grateful we found her both because her florals were beyond stunning and because she took such good care of us! In terms of floral design- Misha is nothing short of a creative genius. This is not an exaggeration. I’m truly stunned by how incredibly unique each of her weddings are. She took the time to really get to know us and figure out exactly what we wanted- even what we didn’t even know we wanted. I gave her minimal direction and was completely stunned by how she managed to produce even more than what I could have imagined. I wanted something bright, colorful and unique with lots of personality and life. She provided the most beautiful, colorful and lush florals I’ve ever seen. Also, I am pretty sure that Misha provided even more florals than I paid for just out of her own kindness and generosity. There were so many unique flowers and every stem seemed intentionally hand-selected and placed. We got SO many compliments on our florals! Now onto Misha herself - it’s such a gift that such a talented person also happens to be one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. Misha is a trained social worker and it shows. Misha doesn’t just provide a service, she nurtures relationships. She was very understanding and respectful about working within our budget - these conversations never felt awkward with Misha. She is also so thorough and on top of it- you will be getting updates, regular check-in calls - she makes you feel like you have her full attention and energy even though she has tons of clients and weddings! You are not just paying for one day of flowers (even though they themselves would be worth it!) - you are getting endless hours of her time, creativity, design work and collaboration. Working with Misha was the best decision we made when it came to our wedding and I could not recommend her more highly. I would not hesitate for a second to reach out if even a part of you is interested or curious about working with her!

Laura was such a pleasure to work with! She was very responsive and delivered our vision better than I even imagined it. She wrote a card with each flower’s meaning which was very thoughtful, along with including my late mom’s favorite flowers in my bouquet (she took time to find them because they weren’t in season & hard to find!). Her style of florals is very natural and wild, which is exactly what I wanted. Will use her again for any special occasion for sure!
