Hey there! I'm Kristina, and I'm absolutely in love with all things floral. When I'm not creating stunning arrangements, you'll often find me spending quality time with my beautiful family – my loving husband and our three adorable kids. Being happily married and a mother has taught me the importance of cherishing life's precious moments, and that's exactly what I strive to do with my floral designs. With a passion for weddings and events, I pour my heart into making each occasion extra special and unforgettable. My journey in the world of flowers has been an incredible one, and I can't wait to weave that magic into your dream event!

Kristina was wonderful to work with! She so creatively brought our vision of wildflowers for our June wedding to life! The flowers throughout the wedding from the arch to all the tables were absolutely stunning! From planning, to set up, and tear down she was professional and just amazing to work with!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jen is incredible and worth every penny! My husband and I weren't very sure about how we wanted our wedding florals to look. We also didn't want to spend thousands of dollars on flowers that would only last a day. We stumbled upon wood flowers and discovered Wood and Word Blooms! Working with Jen was wonderful and seamless. She helps you every step of the way to figure out what you would like. The DIY class was so much fun, and we were able to build all of our centerpieces, boutonnières, and bouquets. Jen also built my cascade bouquet and beautiful garland for us! Everything came out so beautifully and was perfect for our day. Thank you Jen!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Muse Art Co. was an absolute dream. Sara is a ray of sunshine and brought so much joy and positivity throughout the entire process. As someone who didn't have a super strong vision for the florals, Sara guided me every step of the way and I was able to fully trust her to execute her vision. She did not disappoint! Everything from the centerpieces to the arch were absolutely perfect. Not to mention, my bouquet was one of the most stunning I have ever seen! Sara is undeniably talented, but the true magic of Muse Art Co. is the passion and love Sara exudes. When it seemed inevitable that it was going to rain Sara was so calm and reassured me that everything would be beautiful either way. The rain miraculously held off and Sara's flowers added so much brightness to the overcast day. I simply cannot imagine our wedding day without Sara and Muse Art Co. I promise there is no better choice for your wedding or any other special occasion. You simply will not find anyone better - we cannot thank Sara enough!

At Nectar & Vessel our ethos is sustainability + bliss-forward designs. We specialize in arrangements that are full of texture, unique and lush.

We don't try to be on-trend, rather we are intuitive with the flower and our clients and let the flower speak to us.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Naomi for our wedding florals was a DREAM and an exceptional experience from start to finish. We cannot recommend her and her team at Nectar and Vessel highly enough to other couples getting married. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Naomi and her team and giving her complete creative freedom. She took that freedom, and spun floral magic into the most beautifully designed space we have ever seen. Her love for florals, and for creating beautiful moments for others shines in her work - and isn’t that what you want on your wedding day? To be surrounded by love through flowers that all your guests can feel? That’s the magic Naomi brings to weddings that is impossible to replicate. The floral designs and artistry that Naomi and her team created for our day were simply stunning. Beyond being beautiful, they were unique and felt personal to us. It was the talk of the wedding that none of the guests had ever seen a display like the florals at our wedding, and that each tablescape and design felt like a work of art. A few things additional things about working with N&V we’d like to highlight: Design and vision: Naomi not only executed a vision for our wedding florals and design, she shaped it from the very beginning. The proposal powerpoint was a detailed mood board of not only the florals, but the overall vibe and design for the wedding. For the bride or groom, like me, who was overwhelmed with how to make a wedding feel cohesive, personal, and intentionally designed, trust in Naomi to help jump start that process and hire her as one of your early vendors. Flawless logistics and professionalism: Working with N&V was completely stress free because Naomi and her team are true professionals. She was respectful of our budget, had a clear, well-structured contract, and payment through her professional portal was incredibly easy. Everything was delivered, set-up, and cleaned up flawlessly and on-time. Importantly, if there were any issues day-of, we didn’t hear about it or take on any of that stress (though with her careful planning, I bet there weren’t any fires to put out!) While these sound like boring logistics, all of this professional preparation on N&V’s part saved us a ton of time and stress wedding planning. Positivity and good energy: Naomi herself is the warmest and most effusively positive person - that was clear from our very first consultation call with her and was even more true on the day of our wedding. We felt showered in positivity throughout our experience working with her, which is exactly what you want on your big day! We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Nectar and Vessel, and specifically, Naomi and her wonderful team. Hire her early, trust her to work her magic and give her all the creative control, and then watch your wedding venue transform.

Every bride dreams of her perfect wedding. For me, having a beautiful and unique bridal bouquet was something very important to me in making this dream a reality. I had no idea what sort of flowers to choose, but showed Tracy my vision and my color scheme and she created magic. The florals in my bouquet were one of a kind, gorgeous, perfect for the fall season, and very, very fresh. Tracy transferred all the flowers for myself, my bridesmaids, groomsmen, and parents safety and remained extremely fresh. Tracy is truly a floral artist with exquisite taste and outstanding talent. Her attention to detail was demonstrated throughout each flower arrangement. A specific aspect that comes to mind is that she placed fresh rosemary into my husbands boutonnière to represent his parents catering business. It was a special surprise on our big day. I made sure everyone knew where the flowers were from and felt proud to know they came from Tracy. If anyone is in need of flowers of any kind they shouldn’t hesitate to book Tracy at Midsummer Flowers.

I did a lot of searching and looking into different diy flower companies. As soon as I came across bloom culture and read some of the reviews I knew I wanted to go with them! Alison was so friendly and personable and so easy to work with. She helped put me at ease by answering all of my questions and even helped me to swap out a couple of the flowers in one of the packages to better match my vision for my wedding. I was a little nervous about the flowers lasting all the way until the wedding day (my wedding was on a Sunday and they arrived Wednesday) but by the day of they had opened up beautifully and looked amazing. There were also hardly any flowers damaged or broken when they arrived. With all of the detailed instructions and recipes they provided, putting together the flowers was honestly a breeze once we got started. We didn’t follow the instructions specifically because I had a different number of bouquets, center pieces, etc. that I need to make, but the recipes and instructions were still super helpful. I also watched Alison’s YouTube videos beforehand which helped a ton! Overall very happy with the quality of the flowers, the price, and the excellent customer service. Cannot recommend enough!

Fairy Meadow Flowers

  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Feeding Hills, MA

My name is Isabelle, and I grow chemical free, regenerative flowers and herbs on 3/4 of an acre in Hamden, CT. I truly love working on these blooms from start to finish, and I hope to get to share some of the beauty with you on your special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are many florists out there, but how many of them offer flowers they've grown themselves, right from the earth? If you want something super traditional, like a sphere of roses, Isabelle may not be for you. But if you like wildflowers, want to work with a super cool person, and collaborate not only with your vendor, but with the earth itself - this is who you want to work with! Everything Isabelle does has meaning and purpose. On my wedding day, they even foraged some goldenrod that was growing right outside our venue, adding it to the bunches of dramatic, colorful dahlias and unique blooms I don't even know the names of. It was meaningful, gorgeous, and creative. All of the arrangements they made came out came out stunning. Each one was a little different, but everything went together perfectly. I could not pick a favorite. Isabelle was also willing to take on so many little details I hadn't thought of. They provided a really lovely floral cake topper, and put little flowers in each of our guest's napkins. They also have opinions, and will share them when asked- something I like in vendors, who I feel often have the best instincts for what works well. In addition, their prices are incredibly reasonable, especially when you consider how special their work is. In a world of refrigerated carnations...be a wild goldenrod, plucked at golden hour, by a true artist :) Cannot recommend Fairy Meadow Flowers enough!

Katie was a breeze to work with! I am not big on real flowers and wanted something that would represent my husband and I. Her prices are comparable to real flowers and are even more lovely! I love that her flower designs mimic real flowers and that foliage was an option. She took the care to make sure I had what I wanted and sent me multiple pictures during the process and of the finished result before we picked them up for the wedding. She accepted my feedback and made changes to the bouquets to match my vision. I still have my bouquet and my husbands boutonniere as keepsakes that remind me of our special day. I would use her services again and again!

They felt like an extension of the venue itself, beautifully highlighting all the reasons why we wanted to have our celebration there. Lorinda was super responsive throughout the planning process.
