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 Tom Bean, TX

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
Our flowers turned out AMAZING with flower moxie! It was so fun to be able to spend the days before prepping the flowers with my family and friends, and they truly turned out so beautifully. Alexa and the customer service team went above and beyond to help in answering all my questions. I’m so grateful to have found them!

Working with Avenue Design Studio was such a pleasure! While florals were important to me, I didn’t feel the need to be heavily involved, and their team made the process so easy. They truly listened to my vision, allowed for updates as my plans evolved, and then took care of everything from there. They were incredibly helpful in working within my budget, creatively repurposing ceremony florals for the reception tables, which made the whole evening feel cohesive and elegant. I appreciated their attention to detail, like including flowers I love (amaranthus) and avoiding ones I don’t (baby’s breath). Their ability to travel and stay all day to assist with setup was such a bonus. Highly recommend Avenue Design Studio!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashlinn was wonderful! I spoke to her multiple times about the flowers for the ceremony and the reception. When the first proposal she sent was quite what I wanted, Ashlinn quickly revised and asked me me photos to get a better idea of what I wanted. When I made alterations throughout the planning process, she made it very easy and was adamant that I should have what I wanted a not what family members or et cetera had in mind. As the wedding got closer, she checked in multiple times to verify details, and even helped me with the floorplan and non-floral related details when my coordinator was not coming through. On the wedding day, the florals were beautiful. Exactly what I wanted, and I had asked for a less than easy bouquet. Ashlinn was also extremely organized, and worked around the choas as my family worked on all of the last minutes items. Ashlinn made to check in with what I wanted and made sure that my vision was coming through. She was so attentive to details and knoweledable about everything. It honestly felt like having a coordinator there, and she just made me feel better about everything. I would highly reccommend this vendor!

Y’all! F.LORI.SH IS THE BEST! I had a wild wedding experience and was pretty majorly sick, but LORI (and the man behind F.lori.sh - Matt) were on top of it for me! They went above and beyond from the moment we contacted them all the way through the end of wedding day! I wasn’t sure what I wanted for any of my wedding, but Lori helped me through so many details she totally didn’t have to! From choosing the color scheme with me to helping walk through the details, they were supportive through it all. I am so glad I gave F.LORI.SH basically total freedom to make my budget work and produce the most beautiful florals for our special day! We loved working with this dynamic duo and would do it again over and over! They are laid back, but never miss a beat. So if you are a little nervous when it comes to flowers and overwhelmed on where to start, reach out to F.LORI.SH!

I had a call with Brianna prior to my wedding and she was attentive, asked questions, and made sure she understood exactly what I had in mind before she went to work on concepting our wedding flowers. On my wedding day, I *gasped* when I saw my bouquet for the first time.... it met and exceeded my expectations, tenfold. The floral was better than anything I could've pictured in my head. She brought together textures and colors of flowers that worked so well... my wedding was in the Fall and it perfectly encapsulated Fall/autumn colors. The other thing I liked was that I told her I wanted eclectic flowers- something outside of the box. And she delivered- the flowers were perfectly unique and beautiful. THANK YOU, I would 10/10 recommend Vase Space!
