Why buy flowers when this is an option? Renting my flowers was such a good decision and they were absolutely beautiful. SBB makes the process so easy too. The flowers were lovely, they photographed well, and when we were done we sent them right back! A great option especially if you don’t want to spend a ton of money on floral arrangements.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.9

  • Starts at $350
  • Serves South Plymouth, NY

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.

The quality of their work was truly stunning - the bouquets, and other florals they provided were beautiful! They delivered everything exactly when they said they would, creating a magical look for our special day. Alexa, in particular, was absolutely the best to work with and went above and beyond to ensure we were thrilled with the results. I highly recommend Flower Moxie to anyone looking for event flowers.

Working with Jill and her team was an absolute delight. They not only met but truly exceeded my expectations for our wedding day floral arrangements. Despite providing several conflicting inspiration photos, Jill and her talented team masterfully translated my vision into the most stunning ceremony and reception arrangements imaginable. I was utterly thrilled with the results. What impressed me even more was their unwavering professionalism in the face of challenging weather. When it began to pour rain, Jill's team remained completely unfazed. They diligently worked through the downpour (which fortunately stopped just in time for our outdoor ceremony) to ensure everything was set up beautifully. I am profoundly grateful for their exceptional vision, remarkable creativity, and meticulous attention to detail. Jill and her team's expertise and dedication played a crucial role in making our wedding day truly magical. Their ability to bring my floral dreams to life, even under difficult circumstances, was nothing short of impressive.

The ceremony arch was a total showstopper, blending elegance and boho charm flawlessly. And our golden retriever’s floral collar? I still can’t get over how stunning (and perfectly proportioned) it was — She looked like part of the bridal party! Every single arrangement tied the day together with such artistry and warmth.
