Florwegian Floral was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding flowers. From the moment I reached out, the owner was open, clear and friendly in her communication, taking the time to understand my vision and provide helpful suggestions.

Hi there! I'm Candi, the owner and lead floral designer at Candi's Precious Petals. Based in Rosemount, MN, we are a family-owned home-based floral studio. With over 20 years of experience, I create elegant floral designs that add class to every event. As a mother of five, I bring dedication and love to every arrangement. Specializing in weddings, I work closely with couples to bring their floral visions to life, ensuring every detail is perfect. We believe flowers express love, joy, and celebration. Thank you for considering us for your floral needs. I look forward to bringing your floral dreams to life!

Awarded Best of Zola
I am absolutely obsessed with how my wedding flowers turned out! After just one meeting with Candi she understood my vision and brought it to life better than I even imagined. She was fantastic with communication and was very accommodating with my color specificity. The flowers lasted perfectly, even though it was a hot and humid day. The magnet boutonnieres were the only exception, this may have been because of the flowers being too heavy for that style. She was last minute willing and able to accommodate dropping off personal flowers at a nearby location before setting up the arrangements at the church. Candi is very talented at arranging florals and compiling the most beautiful flower combinations.

Hello! My name is Hope and as the owner I’d love to welcome you to Golden Garden Blooms. I’m so happy that you’re here! As someone who’s been immersed within the wedding world since 2020 and the garden space since I can remember, I’ve gotten to witness the beauty and joy that flowers bring to not only special events but everyday life.

Hope is so great to work with! I book special events in our off season for a small venue space and we brought Golden Garden Blooms in to guide a floral arrangement class/activity to accompany our Mother’s Day brunch. The event ran so smoothly- easy to plan with her, she was very knowledgeable, and the guests had so much fun. Our guests told us how wonderful the experience was and how beautiful the florals were.

RS Florals 

5.0

  • Serves Cedar, MN

RS Florals was founded by me, Rachel — a Minnesota native with a lifelong love for creating meaningful, beautiful things. After studying retail merchandising and communication at the University of Minnesota and working in fashion in New York and Chicago, I felt drawn back home and back to hands-on creativity. Floral design allows me to combine artistry, storytelling, and connection. I’m passionate about creating timeless florals that feel personal, photograph beautifully, and are paired with a thoughtful, stress-free experience for every couple.

RS Florals provided exceptional service for our wedding. Their communication was accurate, timely, and professional throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was exquisite - the floral arrangements were truly breathtaking, as if they came straight out of a wedding magazine. They went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, from the ceremony arrangements to the stunning reception decor. Nothing was missed, and they helped make our wedding look like a million-dollar event.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.9

  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Cedar, MN

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

Awarded Best of Zola
Flower Moxie was an incredible experience from start to finish. The flowers arrived without any issues, and we had almost a 0% loss of flowers (which is unheard of). The tutorials helped me feel so ready to assemble my own bouquets and our self-assembly not only was SO FUN to do with my bridesmaids, but saved us SO MUCH money!!! I would recommend this to anyone who loves fresh flowers :)

Their floral designs were elegant, affordable, and fully customizable to our preferences. They created a beautiful customized bouquet for my wife's bridal flowers and an elegant arch for our wedding ceremony. They even made last-minute adjustments to ensure we had the best possible designs. All of this was provided at an amazing price, and they even gave us a discount for being a local wedding. We highly recommend The Faux Bouquets to any couple planning their big day.

Lily & Daisy Floral

  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Cedar, MN

I’m Kelly, owner of Lily & Daisy Floral. Coming from generations of floral enthusiasts, I have always loved and appreciated beautiful flowers. Because of that love, I decided to take a hobby and make it into a small business. I guess you could say Lily & Daisy Floral grew from a passion and love for all things floral. I design and create floral arrangements for the pure joy and love of it! A little more about me personally - I am a lover of live music, warm weather, my two dogs & spending time with my two children, Hayley & Alex. My dogs names inspired the name of my business, as their names are Lily and Daisy! :)

Kelly did an amazing job with our bouquets, flower pillars, and table/bar arrangements and flower comb for my hair - I got so many compliments on the flowers later and it was super easy and budget friendly. Highly recommend!

Faded Era Floral

  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Cedar, MN

My name is Sarah Rose, owner of Faded Era Floral. Established in 2020, Faded Era offers full service wedding florals, elopement packages and special occasion local deliveries. I gravitate toward organic, lush and textural floral designs, taking my cue from seasonal blooms. My goal is to be communicative and transparent while discussing your ideal florals and to find creative and impactful ways to bring your vision to life. I always practice eco-conscious design techniques and put local flowers first.

Where do I even begin? Sarah of Faded Era Floral was an absolute delight and treasure to work with for my September wedding. From our very first email exchange, Sarah was warm, friendly, and professional. I didn’t have a specific color palette nor particular flowers in mind; all I knew is that I wanted to evoke a sense of whimsy. Besides that, I loved everything Sarah had done for past weddings. Her eye for color, texture, and composition within her arrangements are truly beautiful! She took the time to pull together thoughtful suggestions for arrangements, all while taking in account our desired look and budget. I truly put all my trust in Sarah’s vision and abilities. To say she exceeded our expectations doesn’t properly convey what a breathtakingly stunning job she did. Everything was executed with such thought and care, from our ceremony florals that elevated our already gorgeous space to adding a playfully elegant look to our reception tables. She made our special day even more so with all her work, and for that we are endlessly grateful. Sarah is a gem of a person; she is kind, attentive, timely, and knowledgeable and passionate about her craft. She will bring your vision to life and somehow manage to make it even better than you could have possibly dreamed.
