🌹 WE ARE NOT FRESH FLOWER FLORISTS. WE WORK WITH WOOD & FAUX FLOWERS. PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IN YOUR REPLY. 🌹 Wood & Word Blooms is run by a Jen Angle, former teacher of 20+ years and specializes in using hand-painted wood flowers along with a faux, dried and preserved florals (nothing fresh here) to bring your wedding vision to life not just for that one glorious day but forever. Besides designing for you, I also offer DIY Wood Flower Experiences to create your wedding florals alongside me in person or virtually and 1:1 sessions to help DIY brides learn to do it themselves.

NO FRESH-NO STRESS - Using wood/dried/faux florals means your florals are ready in advance and won't wilt so there's less to stress about the day of your wedding. SHIPPING AVAILABLE - Wood florals can be shipped across the US, so you don't have to live near New England. UNIQUELY YOU - From the wildest color combos to flowers made of your mom's old dress, there are a million ways to customize to you. I create unique designs for each client, no cookie cutter bouquets off Etsy here. Plus nothing to sneeze about if you have allergies, no flower is ever out of season, and these florals are a true investment that you can enjoy for years to come.

    Absolutely perfect!!

    Jen nailed it, we couldn’t have asked for a better florist. She was super easy to work with, great communication throughout the process, and really brought our vision to life. For anyone unsure if faux flowers are the right move for your big day, here’s what we found: 1) we got to fully customize on color and flower selection, including flowers we love painted into colors they don’t come in naturally but that fit our color scheme perfectly. 2) we picked up the flowers a week before the wedding and didn’t have to worry about them wilting or needing special storage like fresh flowers, which took such a mental load off of my plate while balancing all of the other stressors of wedding prep, and we didn’t need to coordinate any floral deliveries or fresh flower care for day-of. 3) we’re now moving into our first house just after getting married, and we have all of these arrangements in perfect condition to decorate with - and keep forever. My wife had always wanted to have a bouquet she could get preserved, and going with Jen’s work meant we could take that extra step out.

    AMAZING Flowers!

    We LOVED the flowers for our wedding! Jen even went out of her way to create a stunning wrap on my (bride) bouquet made out of my late mothers veil. Through the whole process she was extremely communicative, kind, and really helped us make our vision come to life. I have my bouquet displayed proudly in my home and plan to for years to come, and my bridesmaids loved having a piece of the day that they could take home with them too (they also have their bouquets all on display in their homes!). I couldn't be more thrilled with how everything turned out!

    Obsessed

    Jen is the EASIEST person to talk to and she is amazing at bringing visions to life. I sent her literally my whole Pinterest board for my wedding florals and she delivered beyond expectations. She is so friendly, caring, and understanding that it didn’t feel like a task it felt like talking to a friend! She is so communicative and gives recommendation to make the visions just that much better. I would pay for her work over and over and over again. 10/10 recommend and 100% will be a returning customer.

    Absolutely Loved Our Flowers

    Jen was truly a joy to work with from start to finish. She was so attentive, accommodating, and made the entire process feel easy and fun. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and that really showed in how beautiful everything turned out. Our bouquets and boutonnieres were absolutely stunning, with such a natural and elegant feel. They were exactly what we had hoped for and more. Everyone was amazed when they found out they were made of wood, which made them even more special and unique. We had such a great experience working with Jen and would highly recommend her to any couple looking for gorgeous, thoughtfully designed florals.

While I do not have a minimum, my average wedding is $1500-$2500 with larger weddings ranging $3000+. I take on a limited number of micro-wedding orders when my schedule allows.
Typically, the sweet spot for booking me is 9-12 months in advance as I take a limited number of weddings each month. I book up to about a year and half out; however, due to ever changing cost of supplies I do not book weddings farther out than this. I definitely recommend having a few details figured out first. For example: Have you selected the location for your ceremony/ reception? What’s your wedding style? Do you have your dress picked out? This can help make sure your florals work with your overall vision.
As a faux flower florist specializing in sola wood, things works a bit different. I aim to have your florals complete 1 month prior to your wedding, so you have one less thing to stress about on your day. I do not offer delivery/set up. You may pick up your flowers when they are ready or have them shipped anywhere in the US!
With wood flowers (or silk or paper), no flower is ever out of season. Isn't that great! With me, you can pick your flower style and even the exact colors you'd like them to be! You can have sunflowers in winter or purple and teal roses...no limit to your vision!
No need! Sola wood flowers won't wilt and will stay just as they are for years to come. I recommend keeping out of direct sunlight and away from where they might be knocked. Occasional light dusting is helpful, as well. You can choose to deconstruct your bouquet and make it into a beautiful arrangement, heart board, shadow box or more or just leave your bouquet in a vase as gorgeous centerpiece.
No. Besides hand-painted wood flowers, I can also work with silk flowers and paper flowers. I also occasionally work in fabric flowers, as well.
Sola wood flowers are made of natural and sustainable resources. The main 3 plants are the cassava, Aeschynomene aspera, or balsa wood which are shaved in to thin sheets and used to make the wood flowers. They are biodegradable and their natural color is a light ivory.
No, I do not work with fresh flowers at all. I do use dried and preserved florals sometimes in my work but I hand paint sola wood flowers for my weddings and events and combine these with faux greenery. Wood flowers are made from a biodegradable, earth-friendly materials called sola wood.
