Rudbeckia Florals 
Rating: 5.0 (24 reviews)
Putnam, CT
  • Florist
  • Starts at $3,000

There’s a reason we’re drawn to flowers. It’s the same reason we’re drawn to the mountains, the sea and everything in between. Hi! I'm Rebecca, owner of Rudbeckia Florals. With a lifelong admiration for nature, Rudbeckia florals is an ode to this. Designs give into the will of each stem and petal to create arrangements lead by shape and texture.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Working with Rudbeckia Florals was such a blessing from start to finish. Sarah and her team were quick to respond to every question and made me feel like I was in great hands the entire time. I’m a very simple person and I wanted simple arrangements that still would wow people. Rebecca hit that sweet spot on the nose perfectly! The arrangements turned out stunning—classic and elegant. My grandmother gushed about them all night, and our guests kept complimenting the flowers throughout the reception. What really will stay with me was how Rebecca handled a last-minute request; I had forgotten to order flower girl baskets, and she was able to whip them up on the spot using a spare bridesmaid bouquet I had on hand. Her work exceeded what I imagined, and the whole experience felt effortless because of how professional and thoughtful she was. I'd recommend Rudbeckia Florals to anyone planning a wedding! 5 stars because 100 isn’t available!!”

Hello, I'm Hayden. I've been photographing weddings across Connecticut and New England for over a decade, more than I can count at this point, but each one still feels special. I take a hybrid approach to photography with both digital and film photography for weddings. Every wedding is different, but the best ones share something in common: they feel authentic. My job isn't to stage perfection; it's to document the real, beautiful, chaotic, joyful moments that make your day yours.

“Jeff was an absolutely incredible DJ! My wife and I were initially worried about people not dancing at our wedding, but Jeff completely eased our concerns and far exceeded every expectation. From the very first song, he had the dance floor packed and it stayed that way all night long. With 160 guests, I think every single one of them was up and dancing hours straight. Guests are still telling us it was the best music they’ve ever heard at a wedding, and many said they couldn't leave the dance floor because it was too much fun. It was the best night of our lives with our favorite people. Leading up to the big day, Jeff was unbelievably organized and professional. We spoke with a number of DJs, but Jeff stood out immediately as the most prepared and thoughtful. His online planning tools made the entire process seamless and stress-free, and whenever we had questions, he was always quick to respond and reassure us. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and then delivered beyond our wildest dreams. He created the perfect edit for our first dance and seamlessly mixed so many of our favorite songs throughout the night Jeff doesn’t just play music he created an unforgettable experience for us. We placed all of our trust in him, and he knocked it out of the park, over and over again. If we could give Jeff 1,000 stars, we would. We cannot recommend Jeff enough to anyone planning a wedding.”

From our very first consultation through our wedding day, Victoria was professional, responsive, and incredibly thoughtful. We chose the partial planning service, and it was absolutely worth the investment! Victoria supported us every step of the way, and helped to bring our vision to life. We came to her with a budget and a dream (our only requirement was that we wanted to have a wedding day full of enjoyment), and she expertly curated every aspect of our wedding, from vendors to decor and personal touches. She has an exceptional eye for design and executed every detail flawlessly, creating a day that was extremely organized and felt even more beautiful than we could’ve possibly imagined. Most importantly, the day felt reflective of us as a couple. Every scary task that a bride and groom dreads (seating charts, floor plans, day-of timelines) were handled by Victoria, which helped to keep us stress-free. While planning, Victoria was adaptable and willing to make any changes that we needed. She is warm, welcoming, and we truly felt like she cared about us, not only as clients, but as a couple. On our wedding day, Victoria and her team were outstanding! We didn’t have to worry about a single thing and were able to be fully present with our family and friends. She anticipated all of our needs (for example running in with our sneakers as soon as the dance floor opened!), and made sure we experienced every detail we had planned. As a bride, I felt completely taken care of. Victoria went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and relaxed, and that’s something I’ll always cherish.

“Oh where to begin!? We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Ashley. She has such a special eye for capturing genuine emotions and candid moments in such a beautiful way it's indescribable. And you'll also want to be best friends with her too! She's the best and such a lovable person. From the very beginning, she made us feel so comfortable (my husband is so camera shy btw lol) and she even helped me feel completely at ease about the planning process by providing examples of day-of timelines and lists of needs and not-to-forgets. I knew from one phone call with her that we weren't booking anyone else and our engagement shoot was such a sweet sneak peak for what to expect from her skills on the big day! Nothing would have prepared us for our actual wedding photos though. She and Vannity (our very skilled bonus photographer) did an incredible job capturing all the little details and specials moments. Vannity is also just as easy to love as Ashley! If you’re looking for someone who will make you feel comfortable and truly care about your experience, we cannot recommend her enough.

“Working with Valerie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I originally thought I would be fine with just a day-of coordinator, but trying to balance wedding planning with an already busy life eventually became overwhelming. In such a short amount of time, Valerie took my hot mess of ideas, Pinterest boards, and all the little details I had imagined and turned them into the wedding I had dreamed of. She truly understood the assignment and came through on everything. She listened to me, understood my vision, and somehow always seemed to be on the same wavelength. One of the things I appreciated most was how reliable she was. I never had to wonder whether something would get done or whether she would follow through. I trusted that if Valerie said she had it, she had it. That kind of peace of mind was invaluable during such a busy and emotional season. She was also incredibly accommodating to our cultural needs and was always willing to go with the flow. No matter how specific, unconventional, or last-minute an idea may have been, she never made me feel like I was asking for too much or that my ideas were crazy. Instead, she found a way to make things work while still keeping everything cohesive and beautiful. She was approachable, patient, reassuring, and so easy to work with throughout the entire process. Somewhere along the way, she became my fairy god-sister of wedding planning. Whenever difficult decisions came up, I trusted her completely and knew she understood me and my vision well enough to make the right call. Most importantly, our wedding day went so smoothly because of her. I was actually able to be present and enjoy the day with my husband, family, and friends without worrying about what was happening behind the scenes. I truly cannot thank Valerie enough for helping me navigate the planning process through all of its ups and downs and for bringing my dream wedding to life. Having someone so reliable, flexible, and completely in my corner made all the difference. I’m so grateful she was such an important part of our wedding day and would recommend her in a heartbeat.”

“We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding videographer! He was on time, professional, quick, and efficient from beginning to end. The quality of the shots was amazing, and the lighting was absolutely perfect. He was incredibly flexible and able to accommodate requests that came up at the last minute, which meant so much to us. He made sure to capture every shot we had on our shot list and didn’t miss any of the special moments. He was friendly, easy to work with, and made us feel comfortable throughout the day.

In 2018 I started Smudge, a team of on-site hair and makeup artists based in South Eastern CT, specializing in weddings. We're an onsite team that serves all of Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Massachusetts, and beyond. Booking minimum is per service. 2026 is fully booked, now taking bookings for *2027*

“Smudge was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day beauty needs. From our very first consultation, Amber and Sarah were professional, responsive, and put me at ease throughout the entire process. Their communication style was pleasant and they expertly navigated a larger wedding party and two moms who were a bit indecisive. The quality of their work was worth every penny - my hair and makeup looked sleek and flawless, and it lasted all night without any cry streaks! I could not have been happier with the value Smudge provided on my special day. Thanks for traveling to Vermont for my wedding!”

One can hardly describe the magic of a wedding morning. The soft hum of anticipation, the laughter tucked between moments, and the memories that will linger long after. Together with your stylist, your look is planned in careful detail, harmonizing with your dress, your vision, and the vibe you are creating. On the day, we arrive prepared with artistry and expertise, letting the morning unfold effortlessly. Every look is created to feel timeless in photographs, yet as natural as it is refined.

“I got married about 4 hours away from where I live so finding the perfect person to do my wedding hair wasn’t easy! Thankfully, once I found Meghan’s Instagram, I just KNEW her work was exceptional! We did a trial a few months before my wedding and I provided some small changes and notes after wearing it the whole day. When it came to wedding day, she did exactly what I asked and checked in with me along the way. Not only did it look fabulous, my style lasted well over the 12 hour day!”

I love capturing weddings in a way that feels real and true to who you are. My style is true to color with a mix of candid moments and gently guided portraits. I’ll step in when you need direction and step back when the moments are happening on their own so you can enjoy your day without feeling like you’re constantly posing. I’m based in Connecticut and have a studio in New London. I love working with couples who are excited to celebrate their story. Whether you’re planning a small or a big celebration, I’d be honored to be part of it.

“We had such a great experience working with Jeshalee Photography And Events. From our first conversation, she was upfront about what to expect and genuinely excited about capturing our day. During the wedding, she did so much more than just take photos—she helped our guests feel welcomed, jumped in to grab food and drinks when we needed them, and kept everyone smiling the whole time. The images came back sharp and beautiful, and we had them fast. She brought such a warm energy to everything she did, making our day feel special. We'd absolutely recommend Jeshalee to any couple looking for a photographer who cares about more than just the shots.”

“Evergreen Farms was an amazing place to host our wedding weekend. Not only is the venue rustic, up and coming, and classic, the owners Jess and Mike are there for you from ever before you book with them, throughout the whole planning process, and during your wedding day. For us, their help on our wedding day went above and beyond. Our wedding day was filled with severe thunderstorm warnings and during our reception as it was down pouring, Jess and Mike were outside preventing flooding with shopvacs and sandbags so our caterers could enter and leave safely. All of this happened behind the scenes. What drew us for the venue from the beginning was the ability to have the venue for the whole weekend - afternoon on Friday through early Sunday morning. We were able to host our rehearsal dinner, set up early on Friday and then breakdown our items on Sunday morning which eased up our stress quite a bit. Our guests were in awe of the beauty of the venue. My husband and I couldn’t recommend Evergreen Farms more for your special day.”
