Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.9 (102 reviews)
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves West Linn, OR

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
“I ordered the "peaches and cream" small package. We decided to skip on ceremony florals, and only have handhelds and bud vases at the reception. We did buy a few more flowers from the grocery to add more peach once the flowers arrived. We made and medium sized bridal bouquet, 4 bridesmaids bouquets, 3 corsages, and 7 bouts. (With lots of flowers left over). My bridesmaids and I did the arranging the morning before the wedding; it was fun, and a great start to the weekend. None of us had experience, but it all turned out great! If you or your bridal party are mildly crafty, I'd highly recommend it!”

  • Serves West Linn, OR

My design style is romantic, intentional, and a little unexpected. I love working with movement, texture, unique color palettes, and statement installations to create florals that feel personal to each couple rather than simply following a trend. As a local private studio, I’m able to give each wedding a truly personal experience. I have a heavy background in production and set design - along with a decade of experience in Hawai’i I really just enjoy creating. I am a solo Mama, retired from the Army and the company is named after my Daughter. 🌺 I specialize in tropicals + lei but welcome all style designs

“When I found out that Ryleigh, someone I've known since our military days, had started DAISI & COMPANY, I knew she had to be part of our wedding. She took on all the florals and day-of coordination without hesitation, and she showed up for us in every way. Ryleigh met with us several times and spent hours on the phone working through every detail before the big day arrived. What really stood out was how she tackled problems before we even knew they existed and kept the venue on track to make sure everything ran smoothly. Her flowers were stunning and felt completely personal to us, and the quality was top-notch. I'm so grateful to have had Ryleigh beside us on our special day.”

“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 were married in our contemporary church, a challenging space to develop intimacy and gentle beauty. After consulting with Merry, we immediately felt she comprehended our vision. We quickly moved forward with a floral color palette and she offered helpful design advise, developing a floral arch on the buffet table which we used on the stage. The result was whimsical, romantic and created a lovely backdrop for our photos. My bouquet brought tears to my eyes, just the right touch of color to accent my ivory dress. We highly recommend Merry and Flora, start to finish our expectations were met and exceeded, eliminating stress and creating memories of our special day which we will always treasure!”

After the global zombie apocalypse, in the early winter of '24, I heeded the call, picked up my shovel and shotgun and headed out to the fields.

I've made it my mission to hunt these jokers down, wrangle them together, and to serve to you dead off the proverbial platter.

Whatever your cup of tea, these zombie flowers are one of a kind prepared just for you.
