Fresh Foraged Designs

. I wanted a moody/old Hollywood floral theme overall, and Fresh Foraged delivered. The floral design and arrangements exceeded our expectations, and family and friends are STILL commenting on how gorgeous our flowers were. If you’re looking for a florist who cares about their work, presentation, and of course, their clients, look no further than Fresh Foraged Designs.

own head! The flowers were of highest quality, and lasted a full week after my wedding. Two weeks after my wedding I am still getting messages from attendees inquiring about my florist and saying how they were truly the most beautiful arrangements they had ever seen at a wedding. Besides the flowers themselves, Josh also created beautiful table runner tableaus in a Dutch still life style, and thoughtfully added special touches like fruits, vegetables, mixed metal containers, and candles to complete the look. We had our reception at a bar, and his work completely transformed the space behind what I ever imagined possible. While I don’t plan on getting married again, I would hire Fresh Foraged in a heartbeat for any event in the future, and cannot recommend this company more highly!

s with his magic throughout our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception spaces. The most impressive piece was the sweet heart table. Our guests are still talking about the flowers! We feel so grateful to have had Josh be part of making our day so special. He is wonderful! We will definitely use him and his team’s floral talents for any future events/parties.

effort that he puts into making sure your floral arrangements are nothing short of perfect. We recieved so many compliments on how beautiful our flowers looked and everyone made sure to steal their own! Josh, we can't thank you enough for everything! It was so beautiful!

a few close friends and family but wanted it to be well done, beautiful, and memorable. Josh made the process enjoyable and was so easy to work with. He very talented comes highly recommended! Thank you so much for doing what you do!

ue. I would recommend him anytime.

erstand that vision, and assured me he could meet every one of my requests. It was so easy working with Fresh Foraged. Joshua put together a proposal, describing everything down to the last detail, so I knew exactly what to expect. I’m beyond thrilled to have had FF for our wedding day. Everything was perfect.

g - he is also a wonderful person to work with. His proposals are so detailed that you can really get a sense of what your arrangements will look like (I am a wedding planner and review a lot of proposals, and you can really tell he puts time and effort into each one). On the wedding day, his team arrived exactly on time, set up exactly as we planned and even stayed once everything was set to light the candles! He had a designated team member at the church to set the ceremony florals and then pick everything up and deliver back to the reception venue so we could re-purpose the flowers! I truly can't say enough good things about Josh and his team. Everyone at the wedding raved about how gorgeous the flowers were and my bride was in love with her bouquet. I can't wait to work with Josh again and will recommend him to all of my clients!

d create the most perfect wedding vision. He was also so accommodating with last minute ideas and made himself available to us for any concerns leading up to our wedding. We loved working with him! We really cannot recommend him and his team enough!!!

iling. Guests WOULD NOT STOP talking about our flowers. Josh is simply amazing. Not only is he incredibly talented, but he is a delight to work with. He took my vision and turned it into a reality. He was also very easy to negotiate with. He helped me create my vision on my terms and on my budget. Do yourself a favor and forget about the other florists! Josh is the best!

expectations, our wedding flowers were absolutely gorgeous, totally unique and made the whole event feel elegant. I had some nerves the morning of the wedding thinking about all of the pieces that needed to come together, and unsure of what everything would look like. When Josh dropped off my bouquet to the hotel my mood shifted and I was immediately able to relax. If my bouquet was that beautiful I knew whatever he had done to the reception location would be perfect. Leading up to the wedding, Josh was very easy to work with- quick communication, wide breath of knowledge, personable. My guests were raving about the flowers in the weeks following. Well done, Josh!

rals! He is so communicative, honest, and helpful with such fun and unique ideas. He seriously made all my floral dreams come true! I was totally obsessed with how everything turned out. I can’t say enough about Josh as a person, either! Truly five stars in every way. Thank you!!!

e breathtaking, Joshua was a delight to work with, and we could not have been more thrilled with how everything turned out. We truly cannot recommend Fresh Foraged highly enough! Working with Joshua was such a pleasure. As we began planning for what our floral arrangements could look like, Joshua took the time to listen to our ideas, ask thoughtful questions, and help guide us through different approaches to achieve our vision for the day. From our first meeting with him all the way through the wedding day itself, his attention to detail, artistic talents, and easygoing personality kept us feeling relaxed and reassured. He took our loose ideas and transformed them into something truly incredible. The flowers were elegant but still very natural — exactly what we were going for. And wow… the colors were right on point! I cannot tell you how many guests raved about the flowers and asked who had done them. (Seriously — guests asked us about the flowers more than any other element of our wedding.) We recognize too that to create such a masterpiece requires many many hours of hard work. Thank you, Joshua, for everything you put into creating a beautiful setting for such a meaningful day. It would not have been the same without you!

ome of the fastest and most helpful communication. As a bride trying to plan everything alone, this really helped put my mind at ease during the process. Then at our first meeting not only did we feel like Joshua truly understood our vision but took the time to understand our personal style and design esthetic. Aside from the service, which blew us away, the floral displays throughout our whole wedding were some of the most stunning we’ve ever seen. Our guests, other vendors, and day of coordinator still talk about how beautiful all the arrangements were. We can’t recommend Joshua and Fresh Foraged Designs highly enough. Not only was he one of the most wonderful vendors to work with he helped create the wedding of our dreams.

nting and we asked them to modify this for our summer wedding. The results were outstanding and totally blew us and our guests away. Joshua and the Fresh Foraged team are great communicators and I learned a lot about flowers in the process! Great to work with, down to earth, with a sophisticated and artful approach to floral design. Thanks for helping make our wedding day uniquely beautiful !

on and asked about how we envisioned our wedding. My husband and I were challenging, giving contradictory verbs to describe our vision like, "whimsy, but elegant...natural and a little wild, but not rustic. Definitely sophisicated." Joshua didn't even bat an eye, and without skipping a beat, starting giving ideas and showing photos of his own wedding day flowers! He really got a sense of who we were as a couple and what we were asking. Joshua wrote up a meticulously detailed quote of colors and different plants and arrangements, and called to check in about how we were feeling about the quote and if we wanted to make any changes. It was perfect, and we were so excited to see it come to life! The only thing left to do was for me and my husband to pick out vessels for the centerpieces. Getting overwhelmed by the number of choices, we asked Joshua to pick out the vessels. We trusted him and his style 1000%. Walking into our wedding venue, I nearly cried at how beautiful everything was. A mixture of floral arrangements in delicate and soft hues, potted plants of lady slipper orchids and ferns, pitcher plants, varieties of blooms and greenery under bell jar cloches, poppy pod boutonnieres - it was something out of a botanist's fairy tale. His floral designs were nothing like we could've imagined, and truly made our wedding day magical. AND to top it off, Joshua and his team were able to deliver and donate the arrangements to a hospice on our behalf the next morning. We did manage to take a potted lady slipper home with us, to remind us of our gorgeous day :) I cannot recommend FFD enough, Joshua and his team are phenomenal artists! You will not be disappointed.

at he could 'hone in' on what my vision was. We spoke a lot about different flowers and what to expect from different arrangements with colors, etc. He was communicative all the way up until the day and was willing to move things around to help my fit my price point. On the day of, the flowers blew me away. I couldn't have even imagined how amazing they were until I saw them! It was more than just a floral arrangement but also a work of art. The arbor was out of this world and it added so much more life to the ceremony. I highly highly recommend him and his team for all wedding flower needs!

es to the centerpieces were perfect! We received compliments on our flowers the entire night, you will not be disappointed if you choose them for your special day!

sion within a reasonable price range which was important for my budget. My bouquet was stunning and not did I love it, but i also got a lot of compliments. The venue looked super modern and beautiful with the centerpieces! Joshua exceeded my expectations in terms of service. I highly recommend!

d their proposals to the vision he designed. He was very forgiving regarding our lack of communication (too many things going on). Though we knew his proposal, we were blown away by how beautiful everything was! The florals were perfect and he turned our venue into a work of art!

. As our wedding grew closer, he took the time to meet with us at 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!!

veral reasons. He is not only invested in the job and treats it 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.

the planner, but also a bridesmaid! Throughout the entire design 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

. I put all of my trust in him and he made me feel so at ease while/ 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! 💕

inute I met Josh, I knew I wanted him to be my floral designer. 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!

ly told Joshua that I like white flowers, greenery, and peonies. 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!

o be working with such kind and sweet people. Joshua was very much 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!!!

flower choices, colors and arrangements blew us, our guests and 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!!

ly confusion of what I wanted (because I love flowers and had a 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!

r. Joshua has a way of honoring your vision while also staying 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!

so organized and was so good with communicating with us to determine 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!

professional and amazingly talented, but he was a sweetheart to work with! If you’re looking for wedding flowers that are not the typical bouquets and centerpieces, this is the place to go!

eached out to him immediately. We met over coffee and shared a vision 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!

result was more than I could have asked for. Joshua, Nathan, momma 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.

, I am still blown away. I totally put all my trust in Joshua which 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

ements and varieties Josh used to transform the venue into a magical place. I can't thank him enough for taking such good care of us!

nted. I had full confidence that he would put together something 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.

. Beautiful dahlias, roses, nigella in shades of cream, blush, and blues with a bit of eucalyptus throughout. I cannot recommend Fresh Foraged Designs enough.

at nothing to make sure it was exactly what I wanted was a pleasure to work with!

fection. He listened to every, single detail that I️ wanted and 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!

stayed after setting up our reception space to watch our ceremony, 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!

Everything was even better than we thought! He nailed our color 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!

In talking with Joshua we discussed not wanted to spend a lot of 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!!

ld not stop starring at it! Josh also makes sure that he sticks 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!
