Fresh Foraged Designs

t our venue to make us feel comfortable with everything he and we envisioned. He checked in with us the day before the wedding and even shared a picture of the incredible assortment of flowers he was going to use. The day of our wedding, we were speechless when we entered the room. It was absolutely stunning.. better than we ever imagined. Every little detail was absolutely beautiful. From my bouquet to the ceremony and table design.. Pure eye candy! Josh executed perfectly. We are SO thankful that we used him for our day!!

like it's his number one priority, but he also has a gift and true talent. Working with Joshua for the past year bringing this concept I dreamt of to fruition will be something I never forget. This is such a special time in your life and your vendors should feel like family. Thank you Josh for making my dreams a reality and for treating Brett and I like family. Your talent is unmatched.

n process, Josh was a phone call away and was so easy to talk to. He was as invested in the project as both myself and the bride, bringing his expert advice to my wild imagination. On the wedding day, stress and pressure was high for me, and boy did Josh deliver! The room was exactly as we had imagined it and it truly nailed the group's vision. The bride and groom were over the moon and we are still gushing over the photos. Thank you, thank you Josh & team! <3

hile/ and after booking with him. I gave Josh my colors, showed him pictures, and he EXCEEDED my expectations! I received so many compliments on my flowers! They were so beautiful, everyone at my wedding took them home and we made smaller arrangements. Josh is so creative and talented he was able to give me ideas that I had never even thought of! Josh is truly an amazing artist! 💕

I had already seen some of his work and after I hired him for my wedding, I regularly checked out his stunning Instagram photos, getting more and more excited for my day to come. When we were in the planning stages, he not only carefully listened to my vision, he asked me pointed questions to help me really hone in on what I wanted my wedding to look and feel like. The floral design of one’s big day truly does shape and enhance the overall feel, and hiring the right person is key. Josh will achieve your wedding day floral dreams, more likely greater than you thought possible. After we decided on my theme: “Sophisticated, Autumnal, Cozy,” we agreed to a palette: “Ivory, Champagne, Pops of Jewel Tones, Antique Gold.” Then Josh sent me the most vivid and detailed quote. About my bouquet, “The Bride- A stunning hand-tied bouquet of the freshest local and market flowers and foliage available. Soft romantic blooms in champagne and ivory will be designed into an organic composition with several varieties of foliage and vines for a layered texture effect. Pops of burgundy and plum will be added for a hint of color as well as touches of Italian Ruscus painted antique gold. Flower selection may include: Anemone, Dahlia, O’Hara Garden Rose, Majolika Spray Rose, Champagne Rose, Lisianthus, Ranunculus, Hellebores, Snowberry, Privet Berry, Italian Ruscus, Seeded Eucalyptus, Waxflower, Jasmine Vine, and white Nigella. The stems of the bouquet will be wrapped in champagne satin ribbon and secured with pearl pins.” It was more than I could have dreamed of. I still have it hanging in my bedroom upside down, 3 months after my wedding. We had our ceremony at the reception site, so I felt it would be nice to have an alter for the ceremony. Happily, Josh has one that we rented; it truly elevated the ceremony and served as a centerpiece of the space. This was his description of it, “The Ceremony- The focal point of the ceremony space will include a gorgeously decorated floral arch which will serve as a backdrop for Michelle and Michael as they say their vows. The majority of the design will be designated to the upper right corner of the arbor, and the front of the two posts where the structure meets the ground. Flower selection may include Seeded Eucalyptus, Gunni Eucalyptus, Italian Ruscus, Privet Foliage and Berries, Playa Blanca Rose, Champagne Rose, Dahlia, Majolika Spray Rose, and pops of Anemone. Touches of antique gold painted foliage will be incorporated to tie in elements with the Bride’s bouquet.” I could go on, but you get the idea. Hire Joshua and you will not be disappointed!

That's it. I left the rest of the creative direction completely up to him. Let me tell you, he did not disappoint!! Especially with my budget of $1200 (granted I did my own centerpieces & bridal bouquets). Even though I got an itemized price quote before booking with FFD (which was SUPER helpful), I was absolutely stunned by Josh's work & how many flowers I received. My bridesmaids and I were basically drooling over the flower arrangements when we saw them. I was not expecting everything to be so lush and beautiful! In addition to such high quality work, Joshua was also very responsive and accommodating during the wedding process, even with my wedding being in peak busy season. Fresh Foraged Designs is an amazing company with such beautiful, organic floral creations; I can't recommend them enough!

ch a part of that! He was patient, professional, and helped us work with a pretty tight budget. Along with that, our flowers were so wonderful. We got married in RI in late August and I loved the idea of a green focused pallet. Joshua knocked it out of the park. my bouquet was everything I wanted and more. His staff, Sarah and Alyssa, gave a tutorial on all of the different flowers/plants and helped the wedding party assemble their bouquets morning of (This was something I asked for, an activity I did at my sister's wedding and loved!). This was the highlight of the 'getting ready' portion of the day. We cannot thank Joshua and his team enough. Joshua is a floral genius. Do not pass him up!!!

all of our other vendors away. From the bouquets to my husbands boutonniere (which he absolutely loved) to our sweetheart table centerpiece with a deer skull, Josh made pure magic. I knew during our first chat that Josh would be able to make dreams come true. He completely understood our vision and made us feel more then confident in his services. Josh was always kind and patient, we couldn't have been more lucky to find him. What an amazing experience with such spectacular talent, thank you Josh! Look no further for your floral dreams. Wish we could do it all over again!!

hard time visualizing what I exactly wanted) to create pure art. His arrangements took my breath away. I am still receiving messages about how beyond STUNNING my flowers were. My vision became a reality. If there is any question you have, Josh will answer it. He was very accommodating if we needed to adjust what I asked for to make it more affordable. The day of he was able to work with my rain alternative to make a stunning indoor arbor arrangement as well. We love you Josh! Thanks again!

true to his whimsical and "fresh foraged" style. As the day drew nearer, he'd text pictures of fun elements, like dusty blue blueberries, and ask my opinion about incorporating them in some way. Everything was picture perfect; from our giant arbor to the ring bearers' tiny boutonnieres. HIGHLY recommend Fresh Foraged!

mine the types of flowers we wanted, the theme of the wedding, and tint details that I would have never thought of! The bridal and bridesmaids bouquets were rustically elegant and our wine barrel arranagements made our ceremony pictures look like they were taken from Pinterest! We had two outside florists who traveled up to RI for our wedding and they were even raving about his work! Josh and his team made our day so special!

work with! If you’re looking for wedding flowers that are not the typical bouquets and centerpieces, this is the place to go!

ision of moody flowers and gold accents, with long trailing ribbons and pops of greenery. When I received his price estimate, every individual arrangement was broken down not only by price, but also by the types of flowers he may be using. I was blown away by how thorough he was, and it was so easy for me to get an idea of what my bouquet would look like. Every meeting with him felt like meeting with a friend for cocktails, and his execution of the day was flawless. I had so many people compliment our floral arrangements, and I loved that no corner of our venue looked untouched. I currently have my bouquet buried in silica gel, in hopes that I can preserve it forever! I recommend Josh to anyone looking for unique and incredible flower arrangements!

ma Sharon, the entire Duclos-Rickard family were the best! I was so lucky to count myself as a client and plan on continuing to be a customer for future floral endeavors.

ich really helped with my wedding planning. L We had so many compliments on the flowers. The best ever for sure!!! Couldn’t be any happier at all - Bethany

ical place. I can't thank him enough for taking such good care of us!

beautiful. And he did! Since my mother-in-law’s birthday was in November, he used pale pink and white roses, eucalyptus stems, and orange ranunculus for a pop of color. The flower combination was beautiful and it represented the time of year perfectly. My mother-in-law loved them and commented that she had never seen a flower arrangement like the one Josh had made for her. I would say that is Josh’s talent; putting together different flowers and colors that to the untrained eye would not go well together, but end up working perfectly together.

nd blues with a bit of eucalyptus throughout. I cannot recommend Fresh Foraged Designs enough.

ure to work with!

had beautiful ideas for all the things I️ wasn’t sure about. He went above and beyond the morning of, I️ had our chef coming up to us and saying that he was there for hours helping rearrange and set all the tables and anything else that had to get done. I mean seriously? How amazing to have someone like that helping you out on your wedding day? Guests are still raving about the centerpieces, or my bouquet. It was all the perfect balance of succulents, eucalyptus, and whimsical roses (I️ didn’t even know I️ liked roses until Joshua showed me such beautiful varieties). We are SO glad we hired Joshua and anyone who wants an extremely talented artist who really listens to you, should hire him as well!

ny, Joshua was a joy to work with and was so kind and thoughtful. When my bridesmaids surprised us with a floral arrangement from Fresh Foraged one month before our wedding (great gift idea, btw!) Joshua drove all the way to Boston to deliver it himself. The week of our wedding, when the vases that we had chosen shipped to the wrong address and we needed to find an alternative, Joshua let us know about the mistake in the same email where he proposed a solution, which was so appreciated during such a stressful time! And he was so helpful on the day of our wedding, working so hard to set up our ceremony and reception spaces, and even doing last minute repairs on some boutonnieres and corsages! Not only was Joshua lovely to work with, but his work was just gorgeous. We knew we wanted a loose, lush, and natural aesthetic, and Joshua more than delivered, creating beautiful bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, centerpieces, and ceremony arrangements. They all included so many different types of flowers and really captured the beautiful fall colors that we had described to Joshua. My bridesmaids and I found flowers in our bouquets that we had never seen before! Our flowers from Fresh Foraged Designs played such a huge role in our wedding decor, and we were so incredibly happy with how they turned out - and Joshua was such a joy to work with. I would highly recommend Fresh Foraged to anyone looking for a wedding or event florist!

choices and picked beautiful flowers to compliment our theme! The first time I got emotional on my wedding day was when he showed me my bouquet. To say I was in love would be an understatement. He made 2 large arrangements to frame us during the ceremony and pieces for the aisle which were perfect. He also used our idea of old tea tins and made them into beautiful centerpieces! Everyone loved our flowers and both of our parents thought he was a great guy when they talked to him at the wedding! He is on our list for all future flower needs! He also pulled all of this together after the hurricane hit the islands where many of our flowers came from! He is amazing and his work is stunning!

f money on bridal party flowers and he suggested we did a plate size white dahlia with some greenery, these were beautiful, and very budget friendly! On the day of the wedding we were so excited because Joshua created the bridal bouquets of our dreams! Joshua also put together two larger arrangements to be put on wine barrels during our ceremony. We were given many compliments from our guests! Throughout the process we had many questions and made changes to our order and he was always very helpful! We highly recommend Fresh Foraged Designs!!

around after he delivers his arrangements to make sure everything is perfect, my wedding guests were very impressed by this! I will definitely be contacting Josh in the future for all flower arrangements!
