The Flowr Studio 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
West Hartford, CT
  • Florist
  • Starts at $2,000

Hi, I’m Josslyn, founder and lead designer of The Flowr Studio, a Connecticut-based and Latina-owned floral design studio rooted in artful and intentional design. I’ve always been drawn to the way flowers can completely transform a space. My approach to design is inspired by nature itself, with an emphasis on movement, color, texture, and letting each flower do what it was created to do. Our name, The Flowr Studio, comes from the idea of flow state, that immersive place of focus where time just seems to kind of disappear. I find that same peace and presence when I design, letting flowers guide me as I shape each piece with care.

Awarded Best of Zola
“The Flowr Studio was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our first conversation, Joss and her team were easy to communicate with, efficient in their responses, and incredibly kind throughout the entire process. The floral arrangements they created for our special day were of the highest quality - absolutely gorgeous, unique and classic in design. The flowers were truly stunning, and I'll look back on them forever and smile. Joss is the best of the best, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect floral experience for our wedding. I highly recommend The Flowr Studio to any couple looking for a top-notch florist who will bring their vision to life.”

“I truly don’t have enough good things to say about our experience with DJ Sam and Atmosphere Productions! When we first talked with DJ Sam, he spent about an hour on the phone going through everything, he is incredibly knowledgeable, organized, and friendly! After we booked him to be our DJ, he sent over a wonderfully detailed excel document for us to work in and add all the details needed for our wedding day! He was available to answer any of our questions, and prior to the wedding, we had a call to walk through everything on the spreadsheet in preparation of the day! He knows things you wouldn’t even think of and gave his honest opinion when we asked him for advice! We loved the various options he has! We included a violin duo for our ceremony and cocktail hour and we did the photo booth through him too - both were incredible and with the photobooth we received an album at the end of the night with all the pictures! We were able to add the lighting, which we did in purple to match our colors! On the day of our wedding, DJ Sam and his assistant were very communicative and easy to work with, we didn’t have to stress one bit! Our dance floor was packed the entire night, and he listened to everything we went over in our prep call! I could not recommend DJ Sam and Atmosphere Productions, if you book him, you are in good hands!”

Photography has always been a passion of mine even after I started my career as a science teacher. I wake up everyday and teach 100+ kids in 9th and 10th grade about the wonder and beauty of the sciences. I also get to wake up everyday with a camera in hand, and connect to loved ones starting out on new paths. I have this strong desire to create art and speak the truth of other’s lives. Everyday I have an excitement for what's to come, and who I will be blessed with to capture. What never meant to become a business, slowly turned into this beautiful opportunity to be connected to so many amazing humans and invest in their lives.

“Melanie was the best photographer for our wedding in May 2024 in Boston!!!! She was the perfect combination of professional, fun, on-top of her game, but also super chill and go with the flow. Which is exactly what we were looking for in all of our vendors. She made everyone feel so comfortable and would ask us funny or heart felt questions when we were taking group couple pictures to ensure she captured raw emotion and to keep things interesting. There was never a dull moment. Everyone from our bridal party family came up to me after and said how much they loved Melanie and her team. Couldn't recommend her enough!!!!!!!”

“From the very first time we spoke with Tom, we had a feeling we had found our DJ. He was always honest with us, incredibly responsive, and genuinely took the time to get to know us and what we wanted our wedding to feel like. One of our favorite examples of this was when we sent him a sample of our first dance song and he had it back to us within minutes- which just about sums it up. Reliable, fun to work with, and someone we always felt like we could count on. On our wedding day, Tom honestly felt less like a vendor and more like a friend who was there celebrating with us. He played everything we asked for, but also knew exactly when to switch things up and keep the dance floor going. We had so many people come up to us afterward saying how much they loved the music and that Tom was one of the best DJs they had ever heard at a wedding. We truly cannot thank Tom enough for being such a huge part of our wedding day. The dance floor was packed, everyone had an absolute blast, and somehow the night still went by way too fast. We would have happily danced for hours longer. We will forever be grateful for the role Tom played in our wedding - there is truly no one better.”

“There is a lot to plan for a big event, from food, music, venue, guest list, and so on. It can be so stressful as we all know. I heard of Mobile Mixology through a friend and decided that if I could eliminate one of the many event tasks from my mind, I’d be a fool not to! Enya did just that for me. I told her what the theme of our party was, what sort of drinks we like, and approximate headcount, and she said I’ll take it from here. Not only did I no longer have to worry about planning out drinks, she elevated the level of my party! She made amazing cocktails and supplied the guys with all the beer they could drink. She had a few really nice wine options as well. I did the math out and this was a really economical choice for what we received. She was so friendly and many guests commented to me that this was “so cool” to have. I didn’t have to clean anything up either! Enya is on speed dial for my next party.”

Hi! My name is Matt and I am the owner and head DJ of Style Points DJs.

“DJ Style Points was incredible to work with and played a huge role in making our wedding night a massive success. Our guest list spanned multiple generations, so we really needed someone who knew how to read the room and keep everyone engaged. Matt understood this perfectly—he had the dance floor packed all night and blended the music seamlessly. Any concerns we had regarding song lengths or flow, he was already ahead of it. He uses a custom planning form that was incredibly thorough, which made it so easy for us to help structure our timeline and music preferences. It also didn't go unnoticed by our other vendors; they were all very complimentary of how well he managed the energy throughout the night.

“We could not recommend Emily's Catering Group more! Our wedding was August 25, 2018 at South Farms in Morris, CT. People say the food at your wedding is one of the most important and memorial parts of your day and it's true! People are still raving about the food they had at our wedding till this day and the fantastic service by the ECG's team! From the very first point of contact Rick and his team were extremely attentive. Cheryl would answer our emails within 24 hours (which for a bride planning a wedding is SO impressive!) The tasting we had was intimate and Rick walked us through the process of what our guests experience would be like the day of our wedding. The passed hors d'oeuvres were never ending during cocktail hour-- our guests we're SO impressed and FULL of delicious tasting food they were wondering how they would be able to eat during dinner. Rick and his team brought my charcuterie table dreams come to life! There was specific staff members from the ECG's team that were in charge of basically following us around during our event to make sure we had all the food we ever wanted and a drink was always full in our hands. It was so refreshing to feel so well taken care of on our special day. We are so happy we chose Emily's Catering Group for our wedding day and we continue to use them to cater all of our events. They are the best of the best!”

“Ariana and her team were AMAZING to work with! We loved how easy the process was and how fun it was to work with her to select our music. Our guests were floored by their talent as they played for our ceremony and cocktail hour. As we were heading to our reception, they played one last song for just the two of us, which made it extra special! We can't thank Ariana and her team enough for making our day so beautiful!”

“I can’t even begin to explain how beautiful our wedding photos are. They don’t look like typical wedding pictures they look like artwork. The lighting, the details, the raw emotions… just wow. My favorite one is of us under the string lights it looks straight out of a magazine. The team was fun, kind, and made us feel like models without the awkwardness. I’ll never forget how easy they made everything feel. Pure talent and passion in every frame.”

Wedding photographs you'll return to for fifty years. The moments you were too happy to notice, the portraits you'll frame, the room exactly as it was designed, made quietly by someone already standing where the moment is about to happen. I'm Shukhrat, based in Connecticut and photographing weddings wherever you're celebrating: Newport and the Rhode Island coast, Boston, the Berkshires, the Catskills, the Connecticut shoreline, and further afield. Every wedding has two photographers and an assistant. Digital, 35mm film and licensed aerial photography from one team, and your first gallery, around 500 finished photographs, within a week.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We seriously can’t say enough good things about Shukhrat and Rachel. From the moment we met them, we knew we were in the best hands. Not only are they incredibly talented, but they’re also just genuinely kind, calming, and lovely people to be around — exactly the kind of energy you want on your wedding day. They made us feel so comfortable, like we were just hanging out with friends — and somehow, in the middle of all that, they captured the most beautiful, emotional, and real moments of our day. When we got the photos back, we were completely blown away. They didn’t just take pictures — they told the story of our day in a way that felt true to us. Looking through our gallery brings back all the joy, love, and magic we felt, and we’ll honestly treasure these photos forever. We feel so lucky to have had Shukhrat and Rachel as our photographers — they’re the best decision we made (besides marrying each other!).”
