I'm not very well versed in florals but I am so glad I picked JDesigns! Jamie was a pleasure to work with! Out of all my vendors, she was the most accommodating to my budget. She was very good at communicating with me via email as well. I gave her some pictures that I thought looked good and she did an amazing job bringing the look together! I put my trust in her and she delivered! I loved my bouquet so much, that I ended to sending it to get preserved!

From the first message Ashley was amazing! She answered fast, and efficiently. Ashley set up a zoom meeting with us being from out of town. She listened to exactly what I wanted, and even a special request from my husband for our flowers which is hard to get in Texas! Ashley went above and beyond my expectations for my wedding. I joke and I told my husband “you only have to buy me flowers once for our wedding day” but with her work, he may have to buy me a bouquet every year for our anniversary!

Hey there!! My name is Carli Jeffrey and I am the creator & face behind Agave Events! I graduated from Texas A&M University (WHOOP!) in May of 2021 and through my degree, I also earned my Professional Event Management Certificate. During my sophomore year of college, I knew I wanted to become an event planner and worked a variety of events throughout my 3 years at A&M. I quickly knew weddings were what I wanted to do. I am so grateful for the wedding coordinators that took me under their wing and allowed me to assist and learn during my college years.

Wish I could rate Agave with 1000 stars!! Not only did they pull off everything I envisioned, but Carli and her team were professional, kind and truly went above and beyond to make sure I enjoyed every minute of my wedding. At the start, I invested in the wedding coordination package. But I quickly added on the floral options as well after seeing how truly STUNNING Carli's work is. Both packages were worth every penny and then some. I highly recommend Agave for ANY bride who truly wants to enjoy their wedding and not worry about a thing. Much love!!!!

Something Borrowed Blooms was the best wedding decision we made. No one could believe they were silk. The cost is guaranteed and you know exactly what you’re getting.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I absolutely love the flowers I received! Originally I did not receive a confirmation email, but I reached out and Alexa was able to get me the confirmation quickly. When I received the flowers, they were well packaged and came with simple but thorough instructions for preparing them. Alexa texted me and let me know they had been delivered and made sure I knew to wire the ranunculus and sent a very helpful video. My sister made my and my MOH bouquets and 10 bud vases, my mom and MIL made 4 wrist corsages, and I made 5 pocket boutonnières. We had a bunch leftover that we made into a giant bouquet for the dining room table at the house I got ready at. I did add a dozen orange tulips from a grocery store to the arrangements, but I 100% did not need to do that. I bought the wildflower elopement package of 1 bridal bouquet and 4-5 bridesmaid bouquets and it was more than enough!

Initially I was drawn in by Angelle’s colorful arrangements on her Instagram and so I decided to contact her and set up a meeting. Once we talked, I knew she was a florist who cared about her clients and their visions. She is genuinely one of the sweetest vendors we had at our wedding, hands down! She was very responsive to any questions or messages my husband and I had. She made quick accommodations for us (if we needed a flower basket or to add detail photos, she was there to do it). Really, if you want to feel like you are taken care of on your wedding day, Angelle will do that for you. On top of all of this, the florals itself were more than anything we could have ever hoped for. They were stunning. Honestly, one of my favorite parts about our wedding. People still compliment me on the florals were. With that being said, you should really check out her instagram because she has some of the most AMAZING and UNIQUE florals I have seen. I love everything she has posted so far. I can tell how much love goes into each of her floral designs. I promise you that you will be in safe hands and you would be missing out on a great experience if you did not go with Angelle!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jen was AMAZING to work with! When it came to flowers for my wedding, I had NO IDEA what I wanted. She was very patient with me and helped talk me through my vision. She gave me flowers to pick from, talked about how big I wanted my bouquet and how much greenery I wanted, and then when I could find colors I liked in swatches, she color-matched the colors I wanted from an inspo pic I found online! She was very professional and patient with me, even when my plans changed or I needed to add to my order.  I am not the best at putting together a bouquet. I am also someone who likes control, especially when it came to planning my wedding. I was thankful that I was able to give Jen the reins, tell her what I wanted, and watch her make my dreams come true. When I first saw my flowers, I was speechless. She truly did make my floral dreams come true, and now I get to keep my bouquet for the rest of my life! A wooden flower bouquet from Jen is the way to go!

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!
