The Blossom Farm 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Montvale, VA

As a flower farmer-florist, I grow many of the flowers used in the weddings I service. I love hearing the unique stories of the couples I work with, and tailoring designs that reflect their life and fit their vision for their wedding. My designs are all about you and not about my farm, so I incorporate a blend of my farm's flowers and out-sourced florals to meet design needs, seasonal availability, or specific color requests. Crafting distinctive floral arrangements is my passion. I am proud that each wedding I've serviced is one-of-a-kind. I can't wait to meet you, learn about your vision for your wedding, and prepare a proposal for you.

The Blossom Farm was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding florals. From our first interaction, their communication was effective, kind, and encouraging, helping us feel confident they would bring our vision to life. And that they did - the florals they created were exactly what I had envisioned, adding such a beautiful, natural touch to our wedding day. They had such an in-depth process to ensure they executed my vision perfectly, and I was blown away by the stunning results. The Blossom Farm truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day special. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Foraged & Cut Flowers 

5.0

  • Serves Montvale, VA

I started my flower venture at a local flower shop in 2012. There I received formal training and quickly moved up to head wedding designer. After several years of focusing my skills in retail floristry I was able to fulfill my dream of working on a flower farm. I was lucky enough to design weddings with 3 acres of flowers I helped plant with my own hands. It was the most rewarding experience! I love working with flowers and want to stay true to the organic farm flowers I've come to love.

Natasha is the absolute best at what she does and made my wedding florals spectacular! I didn't know much about flowers, I just knew the general theme/colors I wanted and she knew exactly what to put together and it all looked amazing!!

Woodland Floral Design Co. 

5.0

  • Serves Montvale, VA

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 has a calling in life and it is 100% creating the most stunning floral arrangements. Multiple people actually asked if we got married in a botanical garden—that's how incredible everything looked! When I first spoke with Mia - I knew she completely got my not very clear general idea because everything she talked about aligned with my vision: a wedding that felt like an explosion of spring flowers. Although I didn’t book her immediately due to a big move, I was lucky she was still available when I circled back a few months later. One of the things I loved most about working with Misha was how easy it was to communicate. I didn’t know the names of specific flowers, but I knew the 9 colors I wanted in the wedding —and Misha got it exactly right. When I saw my bouquet on the wedding day, I actually teared up. It was perfect. Every arrangement looked incredible. If I could, I’d have my whole house decorated in her flowers forever. It was everything I dreamed of. Misha is also a phenomenal vendor to work with—she’s kind, warm, communicative, and thoughtful. She checked in during the week-of and made everything feel effortless and exciting. I truly couldn’t have picked a better florist. If you’re considering booking her—do it. You’ll be endlessly grateful you did.

The Faux Bouquets 

5.0

  • Starts at $175
  • Serves Montvale, VA

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
We were so delighted to use The Faux Bouquets for our wedding. We ended up having a family emergency that forced us to downsize the size and budget of the wedding just a few months before the wedding, and the team at TFB were so accommodating and helped us to find a solution that still allowed us to use their flowers in our (modified) ceremony. We were a bit concerned about the flowers getting smushed in shipping, but they arrived looking absolutely STUNNING and with plenty of time before the big day. Even my gardener of a grandma couldn't tell they weren't real flowers! We were so happy with how everything looked on the day, and in pictures they look just as lovely. Can't recommend The Faux Bouquets enough! There's no visual difference compared to real bouquets and they are much more affordable. The last big selling point that I would advise future brides, and I did not really consider this, is that because the flowers don't wilt, we could set the decor out the night before--which is a LIFESAVER to not have to worry about on the special day! Anything that will save you time and stress on the day of the wedding is a big win!

Brin’s Posy is named after my beloved dog. She passed away unexpectedly a few years ago, leaving myself and her pup sister (Abby) to figure out life without her. We were months of grieving her loss when a close friend insisted I channel the grief energy into something positive. A bell went off in my head as my current job as a florist in a far away town was coming to an end. Brin’s Posy helped me come to terms with the loss. I still have Abby (the shop girl) in the shop daily and occasionally out to our farm venues! We love to source local and work with community members.

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!

Rainey Day Bouquets 

4.1

  • Starts at $1,100
  • Serves Montvale, VA

As I prepare for my own wedding in April of next year, I was taken aback by the exorbitant costs associated with floral arrangements. Quotes ranging from $6,000 to $7,000, with a minimum commitment of $4,000, were simply unfeasible for me. This led me to explore alternative solutions, and I discovered a passion for creating my own florals. I was delighted to find that I had a knack for it! This experience sparked the idea to launch my faux floral rental business, driven by the belief that beautiful wedding florals shouldn't come with an astronomical price tag. My goal is to make stunning arrangements accessible to all.

Barnswallow Blooms 

5.0

  • Serves Montvale, VA

I have a love for all things wild and natural, scented blossoms, mossy twigs, and starry nights. Flowers simply make my heart sing. I believe the magic of growing and gathering was planted in me years ago as a young girl, working alongside my mother picking wildflowers and lily of the valley. How I create is deeply rooted in who I am; a floral designer, grower, and potter. I feel my art background has been a really strong foundation for floral design as textures, color, and design are all intertwined with both arts.

Awarded Best of Zola
From start to finish, I never had a doubt that Mary Ann and Barnswallow Blooms would make my wedding perfect. I gave her my vision, colors, and favorites, and she cane through with literally the most amazing bouquets, ideas and greenery I could have ever hoped for. I got so many compliments on everything, and it’s all thanks to her! If you also need gifts, not just for your wedding party but in general, definitely check out her shop- The Barn Swallow.

Hi there, I'm Jessica! One of my favorite things about being a wedding florist is getting to create living art. This kind of art is never stagnant, never monotonous. The medium represents growth, connection and love- a perfect symbol to surround my beautiful couples on their wedding day.
