I am so happy and thankful to have discovered Flower Moxie during my wedding planning process. I was a bride on a budget who didn’t want to sacrifice on making my big day feel super magical and Flower Moxie was SO PIVOTAL to making that happen....
Big picture, Flower Moxie made it possible for me to have the wedding florals of my dreams. If you're a budget-conscious bride who is willing to put in a bit of effort and creativity, Flower Moxie is the perfect choice. Their outstanding customer service, extensive resources, and top-notch wholesale flowers make it a DIY bride's dream come true. Florists and flowers can feel so marked up, and can become a very large line-item on the budget. We skimped on several aspects of our wedding, but having control over cost, vision and really being able to get a massive bang-for-buck ratio of flowers allowed us to allocate money elsewhere and made our wedding feel way less “budget” than it actually was, which was so awesome.
To dive more into my wedding flower story, I had initially latched onto the idea of doing silk florals. However, after seeing the same packages over and over again, and feeling that said packages weren’t all that close to what I had actually wanted, I began flirting with the idea of DIY florals. This about 10 months before my wedding. I think what helped me get fully on board was playing with some grocery store flowers. At baseline, I am a very creative but also scientific person, so the math and planning of flowers mixed with the artistry really meshed with my strengths.
After committing to the idea, I curated my vision and worked for several weeks to put together a floral mood board, mixing some “premium” florals stretched out by budget blooms. Flower Moxie’s incredibly detail-rich site was critical in this regard. In retrospect, I absolutely should have opted for Flower Moxies DIY consultation services. I ended up LOVING my look, but second guessed myself as a non-expert in the field, ant it was just very time consuming. I placed my order for flowers about 4 months before my wedding. I also made the decision to order some extra-special blooms (Butterfly Ranunculus) from another vendor.
In the meantime, I did a lot of homework. I curated playlists of their easy-to-follow Flower Moxie tutorials and vision guidance for my helpers. For the pieces I made, I watched my favorite videos over and over again. It felt like Flower Moxie was a religion and Amy from Flower Moxie was Jesus!
Three weeks before my wedding, I began contacting Flower Moxie with a few questions here and there about adding to the order. I was blown away by their responsiveness. Their team was always just an email or a phone call away, ready to answer my questions and provide guidance every step of the way. I got married two days before Mother’s Day, apparently VERY high volume weekend for flowers. Even then, Flower Moxie reps made the effort to check in via phone call about how the blooms were doing.
In the end, I was able to put together a bridal bouquets, large centerpieces, and two altarpieces that looked like my photographer thought crafted by a professional florist. My helpers didn’t do their homework but ended up doing pretty darn well as well! Overall, Flower Moxie's website and the YouTube channel is a treasure trove of resources, from flower recipes to step-by-step videos, ensuring that even novices can achieve stunning results.
In summary, Flower Moxie is such an amazing option for DIY brides. The affordability of Flower Moxie's flowers allowed me to allocate my wedding budget more efficiently. What I most importantly learned from Flower Moxie was how to balance choosing some premium blooms and unique floral varieties, while balancing them with budget options. The freshness and quality of the flowers were exceptional, and they arrived right on time, ensuring that my arrangements looked SO perfect on my big day!!
Thank you, Flower Moxie, for helping me achieve the wedding I always envisioned!!!!
