Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.8 (100 reviews)
  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Van Lear, KY

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
Would highly recommend Flower Moxie! Mother of the bride who can’t keep her houseplants alive decided to take a risk with DIY bridal and bridesmaid bouquets. Could not have been happier. Flowers arrived right on time. I contacted Flower Moxie right away with a question on timing for unboxing. Alexa immediately responded and became our personal flower consultant for the next 4 days. She was professional and encouraging and FUN! I felt much more confident that we could create beautiful bouquets with her assistance. The educational videos on the website are so helpful and informative. I alerted her that just three of my stems arrived broken. Flower Moxie immediately posted a refund to my account so that I could replace those stems if I felt it necessary at a local store. I cannot say enough good things about the whole experience. The bridesmaids and bride created their own bouquets the morning of the venue during hair and makeup. Was really fun for all of them and they were absolutely stunning! Don’t be afraid of DIY. If I could keep these alive and thriving - you can too! Flower Moxie (and Alexa) are great partners for your special day!!

HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.

We'll turn all your raw footage into a beautiful, nostalgic Modern Day Home Video® you'll actually love to rewatch. It's raw, real, and totally you.

I cannot recommend PressRecord enough! From start to finish, the entire process was incredibly easy and completely stress-free. The camcorders were simple for our guests to use, and everything was clearly explained, making the whole experience foolproof. What truly impressed me was their customer service. They were unbelievably kind and responded to every email so quickly. They even re-edited our wedding film **twice** to make sure it was exactly what we envisioned, and they happily searched through all of the footage to include very specific moments that were important to us. The most meaningful thing they did was incorporate a photo I sent them of our memorial table honoring my mom and my husband's grandparents who had passed away. Including that tribute in our wedding video meant more to us than I can express, and I'm so grateful they took the time to make it happen. Our final 5-minute home video feels so personal and captures the heart of our wedding day perfectly. If you're considering PressRecord, do it—you'll not only end up with an amazing keepsake, but you'll also be working with a team that genuinely cares about preserving what matters most.

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.

A little about me: I am a Tampa Bay grown, soflo living videographer, a master's student in mental health, hold a BA in media from PBAU, and surf in my free time. I love God, people, family and friends above all.

On the day of our wedding, they were creative and kind, suggesting poses that really worked for us and capturing candid moments of my husband and I that turned out beautifully. What impressed me most was how they went the extra mile to add details to my shot list that I hadn't even thought about, and they collaborated seamlessly with our other vendors. Even my wedding planner had complimented how they were great at keeping time, and helped us stick with our schedule. When I got our photos and video back, I knew right away that choosing Nick Flicks was the best decision we made. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a videographer who actually cares about telling your story.

She felt like more than photographer on my wedding day with the great attention to detail and dedication to protecting my peace, She felt like a friend. She picked up very well on social situations that shifted and pivoted when others weren't being as flexible. She was very swift on the turn around for the preview gallery and communicated any hiccups She had along the way until the full gallery was available. I would and will choose her again for any family and life event photos, hope she enjoyed shooting for us because it wont be the last shes seen of me.

We hired Intrinsic Groove to perform at our wedding in April 2026 and it was nothing short of INCREDIBLE. We watched a lot of videos and felt confident they were going to be great, but they far exceeded our expectations. They were high energy, crowd engaging, phenomenal performers who met the vibe every single time. Vocals were KILLER. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and I credit a lot of that to the energy the band brought. On top of a killer reception, they also did incredible ceremony and cocktail hour music that made everything flow harmoniously. You just can’t beat a killer band for your wedding, worth every penny!

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.

She gave me flowers to pick from, talked about how big I wanted my bouquet and how much greenery I wanted, and then when I could find colors I liked in swatches, she color-matched the colors I wanted from an inspo pic I found online! She was very professional and patient with me, even when my plans changed or I needed to add to my order.  I am not the best at putting together a bouquet. I am also someone who likes control, especially when it came to planning my wedding. I was thankful that I was able to give Jen the reins, tell her what I wanted, and watch her make my dreams come true. When I first saw my flowers, I was speechless. She truly did make my floral dreams come true, and now I get to keep my bouquet for the rest of my life! A wooden flower bouquet from Jen is the way to go!

We are obsessed with our photos. Heather is seriously the coolest, most genuine person to work with. From the second she showed up for our engagement session, the vibes were perfect—fun, calm, organized, and so, so caring. You can tell she truly loves her clients and pours her heart into what she does. Her team made us feel comfortable the whole wedding day and captured everything so naturally and beautifully. Our photos feel effortless, real, and completely “us.” If you want a photographer who’s not only insanely talented but also your hype-woman and calm presence all in one, she’s it. 10/10 recommend. We’d recommend Heather and her team a thousand times over.

My husband and I cannot recommend Ali enough to anyone looking for a photographer!! We first got in contact with Ali last year for our planned wedding, but due to unforeseen circumstances we were unable to have our big day, BUT we were lucky enough to transfer her services over to my sister and brother and law! After meeting Ali in person on their wedding day and seeing the magic she can do, it was an absolute no brainer that she would be there for our big day and any and every other event we need photography for! She truly became family and we cannot thank her enough for everything she’s done! She goes above and beyond in her work and truly makes the day so much easier and more fun than ever!

  • 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.

What a sweet concept! We got a beautiful phone in the mail with plenty of time to set up, and especially having older family and long-distance friends at our wedding, there is nothing more special than having their voices recorded forever. Such a cute addition that the guests loved! We accompanied this audio-guestbook with custom playing cards for those who wanted to physically write us notes as well. It turned out absolutely perfect!
