The flowers from Something Borrowed Blooms were, above all, gorgeous. They also cost a fraction of getting real flowers from a florist. (As in, several thousands of dollars less for something equally beautiful.) The flowers got many compliments and everyone was shocked they weren't real! The centerpiece and bouquets in the attached photos are from the Wren collection. The customer service at Something Borrowed Blooms is also highly responsive and helpful. Getting your wedding flowers from Something Borrowed Blooms is one of the best planning decisions you'll make: the blooms are high quality and easy to use, plus MUCH friendlier for your wallet and the environment.

Awarded Best of Zola
The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!

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.

He is responsive to all questions and requests which made the planning process a breeze. The quality of his work is truly top-notch, with beautifully curated photos that captured all the special moments of our wedding day. He is incredibly accommodating and guided us through every step of the way. He didn't hesitate when I even asked him to travel out to California for the wedding. It was awesome to have someone who is like an old friend and has seen us grow over the years capture our special day.

I never once had to worry or stress about photos. Day of the wedding she completely killed it. She was still her happy self but was able to organize us and snap some amazing photos. She did a fantastic job of even catching the perfect small moments, some of which I didn’t even know she was capturing.

They are clean and bright and show us, our personalities, and our people perfectly. 100% the best decision we made.

Thankfully, my area was not affected, but I just really felt that was a special kindness that needs to be called out. But again, the quality of the bouquets, micro sprays and greenery was so great and photographed so well! And all at a fraction of the cost of real flowers that would have just been thrown away at the end of the night! The delivery and return process couldn't have been simpler! And I loved my husband and I got to customize and keep my bouquet and his boutonniere during a promotional add-on!

Photography has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. At the age of seven I stole my mom’s camera and I never gave it back — sorry mom. Growing up, I forced my younger siblings to model for me. When I was 15, I second-shot my first wedding and immediately fell in love with preserving the unforgettable chaos, emotional depth, and vulnerability of relationships present on a wedding day. As of 2025, I have photographed over 250 weddings.

Kendra Kiser Photography was the perfect choice for capturing our wedding day. From the start, Kendra's communication style was thorough, eloquent, and highly professional. Her work was immersive without ever feeling intrusive, and she was incredibly inclusive of our different cultural backgrounds. Kendra was very eager to learn about Hindu culture to ensure she captured all the meaningful and special moments. She also expertly guided the large family photo sessions, making the process smooth and streamlined. Kendra's calm and kind presence was exactly what we needed on our high-stress wedding day. We couldn't be happier to have chosen Kendra and are thrilled with the beautiful way she documented our special events.

Working with Jen was wonderful and seamless. She helps you every step of the way to figure out what you would like. The DIY class was so much fun, and we were able to build all of our centerpieces, boutonnières, and bouquets. Jen also built my cascade bouquet and beautiful garland for us! Everything came out so beautifully and was perfect for our day. Thank you Jen!

I booked Heather after seeing her photos posted by my venue and I feel like the luckiest girl in the world for having found her. Heather and her team are incredibly organized, professional, and kind. She was the rock I needed on our day to help us stay on track and to keep everything moving. She met with us multiple times leading up to our big day and helped give us direction for planning each step of the wedding day schedule. Her aesthetic is beautiful and warm and she was able to capture and create photos that were worthy of a wedding magazine. If you are looking for an experienced, strong, and aesthetically gifted team then Heather and her team are the people for you. I cannot thank them enough for helping us and for helping capture our day!

Hey, hey my name is Ali. NY-based, but working nation-wide, I'm a wedding photographer who captures experiences, genuine love, authentic characters, and immortalizes precious memories.

I am SO HAPPY that we hired Ali for our wedding! She was so kind and easygoing while also totally in command and on top of every request we had photography wise. Her years of wedding coordination and event experience were truly evident throughout every step of the day. Not only was she totally on top of keeping us on our timeline and capturing all of the special moments, but she even went into super hero mode and on the spot sewed one of my bridesmaids dresses in the bathroom right before the ceremony without showing an ounce of stress. We already received our preview photos and are truly blown away by how she captured our love & our special day. Her attention to detail, calming presence, and creative approach are truly invaluable and we will be recommending her to everyone we know for years to come!

We’re Debra & Jeremy, a husband-and-wife wedding photography duo capturing love stories with heart, intention, and a whole lot of soul. Our approach blends documentary moments with gentle guidance, so your photos feel natural, emotional, and unmistakably you. From quiet, intimate glances to joyful, unscripted laughter, we focus on the moments you’ll feel just as much years from now. If you value connection, authenticity, and images that tell a story—not just pose for one—we might be the perfect fit.

Debra Aslanidis Photography was an outstanding choice for our wedding photographer. From our initial contact, Debra and her team were prompt, quick, and efficient in their communication, providing detailed responses to all of our questions. On the day of the wedding, Debra and her fiancé Jeremy were professional, unobtrusive, and captured the most beautiful, detailed shots that we will treasure forever. Despite not seeing them constantly throughout the reception, they managed to get so many stunning photos that we didn't even know were being taken - we truly felt like we could just enjoy the moment without having to "perform" for the camera. The quality of their work is simply outstanding, and we couldn't be happier with the value they provided. Debra is the perfect wedding photographer - she takes her job seriously but has fun while doing it, and we highly recommend her services to any couple looking for beautiful, detailed photography that will beautifully document their special day. These are just a couple of the shots I felt really captured our day!!

FêteFone / The Original Audio Guest Book 
Rating: 5.0 (32 reviews)

  • Event extras
  • Guest book alternatives
  • Starts at $149
  • Serves Van Lear, KY

FêteFone® is a modern twist on the traditional guest book—where guests talk instead of write. Using a stylish vintage phone, your loved ones can leave heartfelt, funny, and unforgettable voice messages that capture the true spirit of your celebration. Your big day goes by in a flash, but with FêteFone, you’ll have the voices, laughter, and love preserved forever. Imagine hearing your grandmother’s kind words, your best friend's inside jokes, or the excitement in your guests’ voices—all at the lift of a receiver. FêteFone helps you capture the magic of your celebration—the joy, the tears, the laughter—in a way you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

We were initially drawn to FêteFone because it was such a fun and different idea—but I had no idea just how meaningful it would become. Hearing our grandparents’ voices, our best friends cracking up, and even the sweet slurred messages from our dance floor crew—it all made us laugh and cry in the best way. The setup was truly plug-and-play. We now keep our vintage mint-green FêteFone displayed on a shelf at home, and every so often we pick up the receiver just to relive that joy. It’s not just a guest book—it’s a time capsule of love. I can’t recommend it enough.
