Moonrise Floral Design 

5.0

  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Stanley, NY

My passion for floral design began in 2013. I had just moved to Memphis, TN to participate in a sustainable farming program. Working alongside flower farmers, I grew an immense appreciate for the beauty of flowers. For me, designing is like painting with flowers. Working with my clients to see that their vision comes to fruition is very important to me, as I know that planning a wedding can be stressful. Booking with me is clear and concise, and I promise that you will not have to stress about your flowers; my team and I will take extra care to ensure that your designs come to fruition.

We are so happy we had Meggan as our florist! She was great to work with throughout the planning process. Meggan was always just a phone call or email away and listened to any ideas we had, took our inspiration photos into account, included her own ideas and expertise, and nailed our vision overall. I received many compliments on my cascading bouquet as well as the bridesmaid's bouquets. On our wedding day, we had to adjust the ceremony location at the last minute due to rain and no longer had an arbor to use. Meggan was flexible and creative and you’d never know that we had to change the original plan for the ceremony florals. It was awesome to have an a-la-carte option and her pricing is very competitive for her quality of work. We highly recommend Moonrise Florals!

Floral & Silks Florist

  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Stanley, NY

As a young child you may have dreamed of this day, always hoping and wishing for perfect and precious moments, well you are in the right place. Weddings are our passion, we can help pick out a theme and color scheme to match what you want, using the freshest of blooms.

I had a truly wonderful experience with Vitae at Floral and Silks, and I am so so glad I went with her for my wedding florals. Vitae is so personable and so kind, and she worked so hard to make sure I was getting what I wanted out of my wedding flowers. She also allowed me to pick and choose what I wanted to do with her and what I wanted to do myself/use fake flowers or greenery for, which was so helpful considering how expensive wedding flowers can get. The florals Vitae did were breathtaking. Everyone commented on them. They were absolutely perfect for my fall wedding, and they complimented our colors so well. They really tied everything together, and Vitae's excitement for us and our future was infectious. Highly recommend to anyone!

The Faux Bouquets

  • Starts at $175
  • Serves Stanley, NY

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 had the most incredible experience with the Faux Bouquets! From start to finish, Brittany was responsive, caring and efficient! We rented the ‘Moody Romance’ suite and I purchased an add on of a custom bridal bouquet and boutonnière! I had done thorough research on purchasing real flowers and while price was our driving factor, I loved the element of saving on waste with renting and the option to purchase a keepsake! Brittany spent time talking to me so many times about questions I had and was incredibly patient! With the custom bouquet, I was able to upload inspiration photos and she NAILED it! The shipping process was so seamless as well. Brittany provided the tracking numbers and thorough instructions on receiving and then returning the flowers. I pride myself on getting ALL the flowers returned in record time (Brittany said) ;) All of our guests couldn’t believe the flowers were fake and everyone was raving about them! Do yourself a favor and go with The Fuax Bouquets!

I consulted many decorators in the area, however no one came close to the package offered to us by Mishall. She not only came to visit my family and I for in-person consultation many times, but also provided expert and valuable advice about the stage and table decorations. She is very flexible with last minute changes and provides excellent customer service. We couldn’t be happier with the quality of service provided. Overall we are a very satisfied customer and would definitely love to work with Mishal for future events. Thank you to Kishmish and team for a job very well done.

Awarded Best of Zola
Alla truly brought our wedding vision to life in the most beautiful way. She was in charge of our stage decor, transferring everything seamlessly to the reception, and setting up our sweetheart table — and she executed every detail flawlessly. Walking into the church and seeing the stage decorated exactly how I had envisioned (honestly, even better) was such a special moment for me. She listened so carefully to what I wanted and somehow turned the ideas in my head into something tangible and breathtaking. The sweetheart table was so elegant and romantic — it felt like our own little haven in the middle of the celebration. What meant just as much as her talent was her kindness. She was calm, warm, and so easy to work with throughout the whole process. On such an emotional and busy day, having someone dependable and genuinely kind handling such an important part made all the difference. She didn’t just decorate a space, she created an atmosphere that felt intimate, sacred, and beautiful. I’m so grateful for her and would recommend her to any bride who wants their vision executed with excellence and heart.

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!

We hired Paula and Samantha pretty down to the wire of our wedding, but they immediately jumped in! We contacted them on Friday, and they had our proposal ready by Monday! Our flowers fit our vibe perfectly: I wanted something to pull from the venue's brick, but not look too "autumny" for our January wedding, and they nailed it! They look and feel like "regular" flowers, but they'll last forever and have so far held up perfectly! We're gifting a number of our pieces to our mothers and grandmothers as keepsakes from our amazing day, while saving the rest to display around our house! We're so happy to have such beautiful mementoes to remember it by!

Working with Lilya was a highlight of our wedding. She brought our vision to life perfectly, and we both teared up seeing the amazing flowers she’d put together. She made our wedding day magical and beautiful, and we couldn’t have been happier.

Hi! I'm Alex, owner and lead designer of Wilder, a wedding florist and floral design studio serving NYC, Syracuse, Rochester, The Finger Lakes, and beyond! Wilder has created florals for galas, fashion shows, and weddings at some of the best NYC venues for over a decade, and more recently, at boutique venues in Central New York. We approach our beautifully wild wedding flowers with passion, cohesiveness, and an environmental ethic, taking inspiration from the landscape around us. Most of my design blends more obvious blooms with forage from my land upstate, so that your wedding feels seasonal, natural, original and (elegantly ) wild.

Alex is the best. She has impeccable taste and the second I spoke to her, I knew she was special. She maximized our budget and her attention to detail and color was remarkable!! I would use her services a hundred times again if I could. She’s just too cool and too talented - my favorite part of our wedding. Everyone was talking about the flowers - for good reason - just gorgeous.

Ok so I don’t even know where to start but choosing a wedding florist stressed me out SO much lol, I’m very aesthetic-driven and I did NOT want basic wedding flowers or something that looked like every other Pinterest wedding. From the first call Floral Eden felt different. They’re not just a wedding florist, they really design the whole wedding atmosphere. They helped plan florals for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception so everything would flow together and actually make sense in the space. Our wedding day was honestly the best part working with them. They handled delivery, full setup, transitions, repurposing ceremony flowers to reception, and breakdown and I didn’t have to answer ONE question all day. Everything was done quietly and smoothly which was huge because wedding days are already stressful. When I walked into the venue I literally gasped. The ceremony florals were so romantic and the reception looked like a completely different space. The centerpieces, the candle setup, the whole wedding floral design just felt intentional and elevated. Guests kept asking who our wedding florist was all night and saying how beautiful everything looked. If you’re looking for a full-service wedding florist who does ceremony flowers, reception flowers, setup, delivery, breakdown, and actually cares about the design and overall feeling of your wedding, Floral Eden is honestly amazing. Best decision we made for our wedding!!

With over a decade of experience in Florals & Design, I aspired to build a company to modernize the industry. During college, I began working as a florist while attending Art School. Afterwards I developed a Set Design Company and worked in Film, TV, Commercials, & Events. I often incorporated my love for Floral Design in my projects. Eventually, I decided to combine my passion of Florals and Spatial Design to create, Ol'Thorn. We provide a different style of design. I shoot for eclectic & immersive experiences.

To Michele and the amazing team at Ol’Thorn, I don’t even know where to begin because working with you was such an incredible experience!!! Michele, you didn’t just bring my floral dreams to life—you completely exceeded every expectation and created something even more beautiful than I could have imagined!!! From our very first call, I knew you were perfect for my wedding. We just clicked, and it was such a joy getting to know you throughout this process. You understood my vision completely and made me feel so supported every step of the way. Flowers were such a huge deal for me, especially after having a tough experience with another florist who didn’t quite get what I was looking for. But with you, it was the total opposite—you just got me, and it was clear you poured your heart into every single detail. You were so patient and always there for my (many!) questions, and your kindness and passion made the whole experience so much fun. When I saw the final designs on my wedding day, I was absolutely blown away. Every arrangement was a masterpiece—so creative, unique, and jaw-droppingly gorgeous. Over a month later, my guests are STILL talking about how stunning the florals were!!! Michele, it was such a pleasure to work with you and get to know you.

Sage & Sonder Events and Design

I've always been the creative, organized type—planning corporate events, alumni reunions, or special gatherings for loved ones. Years ago, I planned my own backyard wedding in under three months. The day before, disaster struck—a storm took down my tents, my fiancé broke his foot, and my dad had a concussion. After a long day in the ER, I was back arranging flowers and setting up decor. Despite the chaos, the wedding was beautiful. That day taught me this: every couple deserves to enjoy their moment without stress. That’s why I’m here—to bring your vision to life, beautifully and effortlessly.

Sage & Sonder is one of the best in the business! The owner is very caring and very thorough with her work. She makes sure you get what you want and is done to it's best potential. If you have any events, whether its birthday parties, weddings, seminars, ANYTHING that could require a decorated scene, Sage & Sonder is the business to call! They made the most beautiful center pieces, balloon arches/gardens, you could ever ask for! :D

Highland Springs Floral 

5.0

  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Stanley, NY

In May of 2015, when I got married, we only had a week long engagement, so we collected bridal veil and lily of the valley from our gardens, and my mother cut lilacs from my grandmother's shrub. Every year, on our anniversary, our table is graced with the same flowers that I carried on my wedding day, and I have been enamored with the local flower movement ever since. We grow our flowers in harmony with nature. Our gardens are biodiverse, regenerative and naturally maintained. We design each arrangement in the spirit of mother nature; honored, collected and arranged by an artists' hand. We use sustainable techniques and no foam.

10/10 would recommend to anyone who needs a brilliant, hardworking, passionate, and creative florist. We met with Sarah throughout our planning process and she worked with us and our planner to understand and bring our vision to life. She clearly understood the assignment. Every detail was perfect. Everything she created was unique and matched exactly what we were looking for. By growing her own flowers, she has an intimate understanding of what will work best. She created an incredible arch out of branches and flowers, aisle meadows that got repurposed to center pieces, and a variety of centerpieces for our 21 tables. Each table had its own, unique look - some with raised meadows, some with a mix of candles and bud vases, and some with a vase of flowers and candles. Our head table had 28 people, and she made each place setting feel special. She works hard to be as sustainable as possible, sourcing and thrifting vessels from local shops and vendors, and drying and reusing flowers when possible. Everything she created was beautiful, including a big fall bouquet. She also created a totally custom ceiling installation that hung over the dance floor - an absolute show stopper that all of our guests loved, and that the venue thinks will inspire some of their future events. Cannot recommend Highland Springs Floral highly enough.
