Rudbeckia Florals 
Rating: 5.0 (15 reviews)
Putnam, CT
  • Florist
  • Starts at $1,500

There’s a reason we’re drawn to flowers. It’s the same reason we’re drawn to the mountains, the sea and everything in between. Hi! I'm Rebecca, owner of Rudbeckia Florals. With a lifelong admiration for nature, Rudbeckia florals is an ode to this. Designs give into the will of each stem and petal to create arrangements lead by shape and texture.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so glad that we hired Rudbeckia Florals for our wedding! Rebecca was able to quickly capture our initial vision in a creative mood board, which made it easy for us to provide feedback. We were really impressed with how she seamlessly worked with our wedding planner and other vendors to ensure her florals and the flowers in rented items (e.g. arch and pillars) were cohesive in color and style. All of the florals Rebecca created were so beautiful and several of our guests stated that they were the best they have ever seen. I would highly recommend her for any future events!!!

Hayden Budd Photo + Film

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

Hello, I'm Hayden. I've been photographing weddings across Connecticut and New England for over a decade, more than I can count at this point, but each one still feels special. I take a hybrid approach to photography with both digital and film photography for weddings. Every wedding is different, but the best ones share something in common: they feel authentic. My job isn't to stage perfection; it's to document the real, beautiful, chaotic, joyful moments that make your day yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hayden was an absolute dream to work with! He kept the whole photography portion of the wedding day so easygoing while getting every photo we asked for without it feeling rushed. He helped my husband feel comfortable in front of the camera and truly felt like a built-in friend on our wedding day! His talent is unbelievable and he is so fun to work with! 100% we recommend Hayden, his work is beautiful!

Hi guys! I’m Lauren and I am the owner of LA Page Makeup. I’ve been providing makeup services to CT and New England for over 14 years and have found nothing lights up my world more than serving clients and giving them the confidence to shine! I have earned my beauty and theatrical makeup certificates, as well as certificates in lash lifting and tinting, brow lamination, and more. Continued education is so important to me! My favorite part of doing makeup is the look of awe my clients get when they look in the mirror. If I can help give you the confidence and self-love to shine, I’ve done my job right!

Lauren was such a pleasure to work with! She was professional, friendly, and paid attention to details. The trial hair and makeup appointment was very helpful for getting an idea of what to expect, and the day-of looked even better!

Awarded Best of Zola
Jeff was an absolutely incredible DJ! My wife and I were initially worried about people not dancing at our wedding, but Jeff completely eased our concerns and far exceeded every expectation. From the very first song, he had the dance floor packed and it stayed that way all night long. With 160 guests, I think every single one of them was up and dancing hours straight. Guests are still telling us it was the best music they’ve ever heard at a wedding, and many said they couldn't leave the dance floor because it was too much fun. It was the best night of our lives with our favorite people. Leading up to the big day, Jeff was unbelievably organized and professional. We spoke with a number of DJs, but Jeff stood out immediately as the most prepared and thoughtful. His online planning tools made the entire process seamless and stress-free, and whenever we had questions, he was always quick to respond and reassure us. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and then delivered beyond our wildest dreams. He created the perfect edit for our first dance and seamlessly mixed so many of our favorite songs throughout the night Jeff doesn’t just play music he created an unforgettable experience for us. We placed all of our trust in him, and he knocked it out of the park, over and over again. If we could give Jeff 1,000 stars, we would. We cannot recommend Jeff enough to anyone planning a wedding.

Every step of the way this team took such good care of us as a couple and guided us in the direction of the BEST people to work with. We had the pleasure of planning a majority of the wedding with Allie - who let me tell you, is INCREDIBLE. She is the absolute sweetest and has such an eye for detail (while always keeping budget in mind), she made the whole planning experience so easy and fun! As for day of - we could not have been more taken care. Mary was our day of coordinator and took care of EVERYTHING. She always was checking in with me, calming me down, offering food or drinks to keep me comfortable - it felt like another friend there to make sure nothing went wrong. Not to mention - she bustled my dress for me!!! Eddy was a HUGE part of our day when it came to food - he made sure we ate everything and even delivered food directly to us at times!! Our day would not have been the same without them there. As for the entire wedding experience - it was an absolute dream, everything about it was perfect. The food was out of this world incredible & they were able to accommodate to my Celiac and almost everything was made gluten free (and allergy friendly for certain guests). The bartenders were kind enough to learn guests names and drinks and treated everyone like family. We truly had the wedding of our dreams at The Barns - could not have had a better experience from start to finish.

Our wedding was everything we could have hoped for and dreamed about thanks to the CT Wedding Group and The Pavilion on Crystal Lake. The entire team was so responsive, understanding, and truly remarkable. Our day of wedding coordinator Mary Schilling was unbelievable. She treated us like royalty, she asked about and understood our family dynamics right away, she had drinks for us at the end of the aisle and food for us in the bridal suite and anticipated our needs before we could even ask for anything. HIGHLY recommend. The wait staff was incredible, and our guests simply cannot stop raving about the food - even 7 months later. Our ceremony was on the property with sparkling lights and just absolutely magical. My father had passed away just over a month before our wedding, and yet they had so so many beautiful little touches to bring his spirit into our special day. I could not recommend this venue or team any more!!!

Anne did a wonderful job with my makeup for my wedding day! I have never had my makeup professionally done so it was hard to know what to ask for, the trial helped so much with this! I was nervous about finding someone who would be able to work with redheads and Anne was able to perfectly match my skin tone and eyebrow color. Anne was such a calm presence the morning of the wedding. She was able to exactly capture my vision and I felt beautiful! Makeup held for the entire day and photographed amazingly.

Chelsea is AMAZING! We did our engagement shoot and wedding photos with Chelsea; my husband and I head over heels in love with how the photos came out. During all the time we spent with Chelsea, she made us feel so comfortable and natural. We loved how Chelsea let us be ourselves and captured all the beautiful candid moments of us together. She knows how to bring a good balance of candid photos and posed photos (which can sometimes feel awkward, but she made it so easy and fun!). She is insanely creative! We gave her some general direction of what photos we wanted and trusted that she could have fun and surprise us with the results. She more than delivered with this! Chelsea also is so impressive with her turnaround time for photos. Both our engagement shoot photos and wedding photos were returned to us so fast! Our wedding guests raved about the photos. We cannot wait to return to Chelsea in the future, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer!

To know Julius is to appreciate his kindness and creative brilliance. When we began our wedding vendor search in 2021, I felt overwhelmed, but Julius came highly recommended.

On our wedding day, he captured every moment flawlessly, leaving a lasting impression on everyone. Post-wedding, he kept us updated on the video editing process, providing quick trailers and all the raw footage.

My husband Alex and I got married in June of this year at Eolia Mansion. After nearly two years meticulously planning our big day I just knew that we needed the right person to help us pull it off, and wow did Abby exceed expectations and boy did we wish we had worked with her earlier on. Abby truly went above and beyond for us from helping with our timelines and floor plan, to executing our decor and managing vendors on a VERY short load in/load out window, to instructing our family/friends. To this day our close friends and family continue to say how amazing Abby was and have had nothing but the highest words about what an incredible job she did so that we could all just be in the moment and enjoy our special day!! Just to top it all off at the very end of the evening my husband accidentally left his keys behind and Abby drove out of the way to drop them off at our after party. Thank you Abby for everything!!

One can hardly describe the magic of a wedding morning. The soft hum of anticipation, the laughter tucked between moments, and the memories that will linger long after. Together with your stylist, your look is planned in careful detail, harmonizing with your dress, your vision, and the vibe you are creating. On the day, we arrive prepared with artistry and expertise, letting the morning unfold effortlessly. Every look is created to feel timeless in photographs, yet as natural as it is refined.

Meghan and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with. The hair trial was extremely informative and gave me the confidence Meghan would execute a perfect hairstyle on the wedding day. On the wedding day, she and Nora worked so well with everyone, were accommodating to a last minute time/schedule change. My bridesmaids and mom were also so happy with their hairstyling! And the photos speak for themselves - my hair lasted all day and all night (from 8am until almost 3am)! I cannot recommend Meghan enough!

My name is Taylor — I’m a husband, father, teacher, ocean lover, and videographer / editor based out of CT and Cape Cod. I’ve been passionate about photography for as long as I can remember, and deep down I’ve always felt that capturing moments was in some way my calling. A few years ago I began to realize that photographs — even the most compelling ones — are not able to tell an entire story. They provide a powerful glimpse, frozen in time, but even the best photographs are unable to preserve memories and emotions the way that films can.

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Taylor. From start to finish, he exceeded every expectation and was an absolute dream to work with. He is incredibly understanding, flexible, and genuinely cares about his couples. Wedding planning can be stressful and expensive, and Taylor was so accommodating—he worked with us to create a payment plan that felt manageable and never added pressure. On the day of the wedding, Taylor was reliable, professional, and fully committed to capturing every special moment. He stayed until the very end of the night to make sure nothing was missed, and his calm, easygoing presence made the entire experience feel effortless. He is extremely easy to work with and blended in perfectly while still making sure every meaningful detail was captured. When I received our sneak peek film, I was overwhelmed with emotion. I cried the happiest tears and truly felt like I was reliving the best day of my life all over again. The way Taylor captured the emotions, the energy, and the love of the day was beyond anything we could have imagined. His work didn’t just document our wedding, it told our story in the most beautiful and authentic way. Taylor will always be the first videographer I recommend to anyone in need. His talent, professionalism, reliability, and kindness truly set him apart. We are so incredibly grateful to have these memories forever, and choosing Taylor was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Sterling Flower Farm was a joy to work with for our wedding. They were easy to reach and quick to respond throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was exceptional - the flowers they grew on their own farm were absolutely beautiful. They decorated our tables with eucalyptus greenery and created stunning floral arrangements for our ceremony arch. Our bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres were all stunning and exceeded our expectations. We couldn't have been happier with Sterling Flower Farm and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.
