Little Blooms

  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Spofford, NH

I started my business in 2018, after I finished floral design classes from Cass School of Floral in Watertown, MA. I have had hands on experience from Floral Arts in Westford, MA and have completed over 75 weddings in my time as a floral designer. I have a little intern named Larry, a corgi-pit mix, who is the model for Little Blooms, who you will see a lot of on Instagram. I love using locally grown flowers as much as I can in my work, to really showcase 'farm to florist'.

She turned all my Pinterest dreams into reality with the most breathtaking baskets of flowers, a beautiful bridal bouquet, and STUNNING floral arches. Kelsie went above and beyond—providing all the fresh flowers instructions for us to create our own bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres, and bud vase centerpieces. She even threw in extra blooms, made sure we had the best flowers (especially the roses!), and made the whole process stress-free. The "flower shower" is now a core memory for all the ladies in my life. Her generosity and attention to detail made our wedding incredibly beautiful.

They met me at the venue months before the wedding to walk through ideas, offered helpful advice, and then took my vision and ran with it. I gave them a lot of creative freedom, and I’m so glad I did—the result was beyond anything I could have imagined. Stems is a talented mother–daughter team, and you can feel the care and artistry they put into their work. Guests talked about the flowers for weeks after the wedding, and so many people asked if they could take arrangements home at the end of the night! If you want florals that make an impact, vendors who listen, and a team that brings heart and creativity to everything they do, Stems is the one. Absolutely incredible from start to finish.

Working with Emily at Bell Brook Farm & Floral Design Studio was a choice we are so happy we made for our wedding day! I (bride) had seen their work at someone else's (Fall) wedding a couple of years back and the arrangements stuck in mind ever since... So I called! In preparation for our special day, we had a call with them to go over our aesthetic ideas and needs. Not only did the call help provide them with our hopes for the day, but it also helped give us a lot of valuable advice and suggestions that we ended up going with. Emily was great in her response, ability to accommodate some last minute changes, and meet our budget. On the day of our wedding, the flowers and foliage EXCEEDED our expectations. The arrangements matched our color scheme perfectly and gave the rich, summer garden vibe I was hoping for... honestly better than I could've imagined. When it comes to the logistics, BBF&FDS were very clear and upfront about costs and order of steps/information needed. They made sure to do their research on the venue's procedures and setup/broke down as scheduled. I definitely suggest using BBF&FDS for your special events! They are so talented and can make a bold, yet delicate, statement with whatever your vision is.

Hire Tracy!!! She is an absolute dream to work with. From our first meeting, she was sweet, detailed, and genuinely wanted us to be happy. We put a lot of trust in her since we know nothing about florals, shared some inspiration, and she ran with it and exceeded every expectation. The colors and arrangements were stunning, especially our ceremony backdrop pieces, which popped beautifully in photos, they made every shot glow and brought so much life to our pictures. So many of our guests keep telling us how amazing our flowers were. Her attention to detail extended to everything, from the adorable bud vases she used for smaller arrangements, the wrap on the bouquets, to the unique boutonnieres. Tracy was super responsive throughout the process, offered ways for us to be involved if we wanted, and went above and beyond to make everything look incredible. I would hire her in a heartbeat for any future event, she made our flowers unforgettable!

During my first consultation with Abby, I came with a lot of ideas- flowers, candles, colors, examples, and non examples. I had a vision but I had no idea how to make everything flow together. My wedding was in November, but I wanted bright colors and an emphasis on hot pink. Abby really listened to what I wanted, asked thoughtful questions and didn’t try to steer my ideas into a more classic November autumnal design. As the months went on, I messaged Abby with some edits based on the arrangements she was posting on her instagram. I couldn’t imagine how Abby was going to take all of my ideas and make them cohesive. But of course, Abby did not disappoint. When my husband and I were taken into the reception space to see the tablescapes set up with the flowers and candles we were amazed. Abby’s artistry and attention to detail encapsulated every element of my initial vision seamlessly. The floral arrangements were breathtaking and more beautiful than I could have hoped for. They were the perfect balance of fall vibes and fun, bright, punchy colors. While we were in the reception space, Abby noticed that my husband’s boutonniere had lost some of the flowers due to hugging so many people. Abby made quick on the spot edits to make sure that it looked fresh for the remainder of the wedding. Even months later, we are still getting compliments about how stunning the flowers were. We are beyond satisfied with Florio and highly recommend hiring them to make your vision come to life!

Wintertide Floral

  • Serves Spofford, NH

My foundation in floral design began on a small flower farm in Vermont over 10 years ago, where I immersed myself in the full lifecycle of the work—planting, harvesting, and arranging blooms directly from the field. That experience shaped my style: deeply seasonal, textural, and guided by an intuitive understanding of form and color. My aesthetic is loose and intentional, layered with luxurious texture and touched by a sense of intentional wildness. A steward of sustainable design, I avoid floral foam and plastics, and aim to use local materials wherever I can to have the lightest footprint on our planet possible.

Jenny’s florals for my wedding were an absolute dream, she completely nailed my vision within my budget and I couldn’t have gone with a better florist. Her work is stunning and I received non-stop compliments on her beautiful and unique arrangements. She totally understood my color scheme and vibe, and everything, especially the bridal bouquet, was perfection!! And to top it all off, Jenny is a wonderful and kind person to work with. 110% recommend!
