Modern Strings was a joy to work with for our wedding. Their communication was consistently professional, kind, and fast throughout the planning process, which we greatly appreciated during the stresses of wedding planning. On our big day, the weather did not cooperate and we had to quickly change plans, but Modern Strings immediately adapted and set up to perform. Despite the last minute changes, they were passionate, professional musicians who delivered a performance well worth the cost. The entire ensemble brought immense talent and kindness that uplifted our whole event. We cannot recommend Modern Strings highly enough - they brought passion and professionalism that absolutely made our wedding day special, even when things went wrong. Their flexibility and musicality were invaluable. We felt so lucky to work with this talented, kind group of musicians for our wedding.

  • Florist

  • Serves North Branford, CT

The granddaughter of two gardeners, I have always felt a connection to the earth through the soil. When someone brings flowers into a room, something changes...an energy, an excitement! I love being able to bring that kind of beauty into peoples lives. I'm a small-town girl who enjoys anything that involves working with my hands from cooking to knitting. I'm a total animal lover (partial to dogs), a die-hard Grey's Anatomy fan, and I take my martinis extra dirty. When I'm not flowering in our studio in Milford, Connecticut, I'm mommin' to three amazing little boys (our dog Pippa and cat, Galaxy).

Awarded Best of Zola
When I first saw my wedding bouquet I was speechless! It was nothing like any other bouquet I had seen in the absolute best way! The flowers were gorgeous, vibrant, and truly unique, just like I wanted! Kate has such a keen ability to take inspiration photos, run with them, and create something incredibly gorgeous and in line with my vision. The florals she designed brought a lovely pop of color to our reception and pulled the natural look from the landscape into the space exactly like I envisioned. From little details like "snap-bracelet" corsages for the moms to a color-coordinating ribbon on the boutonnieres, Kate totally knocked it out of the park!

**PLEASE DO NOT REACH OUT THROUGH ZOLA. Fill out my contact form or dm me on Instagram. I do not check messages here.** Timeless, editorial imagery with a warm, documentary approach. From the grand, luxurious details to the quiet, candid glances you share when no one’s watching, I’m there to preserve it all with intention. If you’re dreaming of wedding photos that feel both refined and deeply personal, I’d love to bring your vision to life.

This is my third session with Destiny and her incredible business, WildRoot Moments, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results! I first discovered Destiny on Instagram and was immediately drawn to her creative eye and unique style. After seeing her work, I booked an engagement session, and it didn’t take long for me to realize she was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer as well. Destiny has a remarkable ability to capture moments in such a natural and authentic way. Every shot feels personal and genuine, which is exactly what we were looking for. After our wedding, I reached out to her to schedule an anniversary shoot, and once again, she blew me away with her talent and vision. What sets Destiny apart, though, is how comfortable she makes you feel during the entire process. Whether you’re nervous or unsure, she has a way of making you feel at ease, and it really shines through in the photos. I can’t recommend her enough for any session you’re considering. Whether it’s an engagement, wedding, or anniversary shoot, you won’t be disappointed with WildRoot Moments!

Her suggestions turned out even better than I imagined. Tracy’s professionalism and passion for her craft was evident throughout the process.

I had the pleasure of working with Carleen and her team once as a bridesmaid in a friends wedding and I loved their work so much I booked her for my wedding day! Her hair stylists are extremely talented and gave everyone the style they were looking for from my bridesmaids to mothers and she even was able to style a wig for my mom! Plus I loved the option of being able to rent extensions from her instead of trying to color match and buy my own - really helpful that she offered this! I totally recommend them especially if you have thin hair it helped add so much volume and lasted all night. The makeup was absolutely flawless, everyone was color matched perfectly. My makeup lasted the FULL night, even after hours of outdoor photos I was always surprised when I looked in the mirror and everything was still in place! I truly felt the most beautiful I ever have that day thanks to Carleen and her team! Not to mention she has a super user friendly portal and booking system so it makes working with them even easier! Highly recommend booking for your wedding!

I instinctually fell in love with the creativity of floral design and it wasn’t long until Willow & Grey was born. WG creates unique, romantic, and whimsical floral designs for weddings and events in New England. My desire is to curate florals that reflect and celebrate the beauty and magic in life’s most cherished moments.

I wanted a florist who brought fresh ideas and a passion for their work. After speaking with several florists as well as Willow & Grey, I found that Renee was the perfect person for our wedding. She was extremely detail-oriented and thorough. Our arrangements from bouquets to centerpieces were so thoughtfully curated. Everyone loved them and so did we.

I can’t even put into words how special my wedding was thanks to The Lake House (but I’m going to try lol). I found this location on Zola and when I contacted the owner, Paul, it was like speaking to an old friend even though we had never met before. He is so sincere and thoughtful and has the best tips and tricks for wedding planning. I never hired a wedding planner and I was a little overwhelmed in the beginning of my planning process but Paul was there every step of the way for me. He answered all my emails filled with dumb questions and he advised me in the best way. Carole, my wedding coordinator at the venue, was an absolute gem as well and made things so easy. My wedding was 11/16/24 (the last wedding of their season!) and I still have guests telling me how fantastic everything was. Especially the FOOD. I truly dream about the filet mignon and tiramisu we had about twice a week lol. I can’t say enough amazing things about this venue. I would have my next birthday party here just so I can see Paul and Carole again and eat more of the delicious food lol. The location is GORGEOUS and they truly made my wedding the best night of my entire life.

Lindsay was so amazing to work with! We hired her to do the flowers for our very small wedding, and the flowers were pretty much our only decor. Everything turned out so stunning. I only showed her a couple of inspiration/general ideas, and mostly told her that we just wanted bright seasonal (August) flowers, and to go ahead and do whatever she thought was best. We didn't have a set color palette since we didn't have a wedding party, so she really could choose whatever she wanted. This was the best decision I could have made because everything was even more beautiful than I could have imagined! Trust me, if you're not a picky bride, ask Lindsay to surprise you and you won't be disappointed!

We just got married on Nov 1st and the day/night was absolutely seamless thanks to RS Event Co. Everything went perfectly and it was truly one of the most wonderful days of my life. When I first started planning our wedding I didn’t think I would need a day-of wedding coordinator- until the months got closer and I realized how much work would actually go into making the day flow the way I envisioned it. We had heard of Raquel through a family friend, so I decided to give her a call. Raquel was personable, proactive and thought of everything I never even thought to consider. She helped us maneuver the months leading to our special day, checking in often and answering every random text. Whatever hiccups there might have been the day-of my husband and I didn’t notice because she was on top of even the smallest detail. We adored working with Raquel and her team. Our wedding was an absolute blast, which I owe to RS Event Co ensuring our vision was exactly what we wanted it to be. My only regret is not calling her sooner!!!!!!

Forever a lover of nature, I draw inspiration from the natural world and am most at peace and at home among the plants and trees. I love spending time outdoors, hiking with my dog, and working in my garden growing food and flowers. I have a life long passion for art and design and have worked as an artist for much of my life. In 2013 I found myself fusing my love for art and flowers when I began working in floral design. I quickly fell in love with the ritual of creating with fresh florals. In the years since, I've had the opportunity to hone my skills and style and provide unique and gorgeous designs for some wonderful couples.

I don’t even know where to begin—words feel small compared to what Lauren created for our wedding day. From our very first consultation to the final breathtaking reveal, they went above and beyond to turn our vision into pure magic. As a bride, I had ideas, inspiration photos, and a Pinterest board full of hopes—but Lauren brought all of that to life in a way I never imagined possible. Every single bloom, every arrangement, every petal was thoughtfully placed and perfectly chosen. Walking into our ceremony and reception spaces was like stepping into a dream. What truly set them apart was not just her talent (which is unmatched), but their warmth, passion, and attention to detail. Lauren listened—really listened—to what we wanted, and then elevated it in the most elegant and personal way. The bouquet was absolutely stunning (it felt like it belonged in a fairytale), the ceremony florals took our breath away, and the reception flowers had our guests gasping and taking photos all night long. We received so many compliments from family and friends, but more importantly, we felt completely surrounded by beauty, love, and intention in every floral touch. It felt like us—romantic, joyful, and full of heart. To anyone looking for a florist who will not only deliver beautiful flowers but also pour love and soul into your big day—this is your person. We are endlessly grateful and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect floral experience. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Even months later, I still look at these photos, and they bring me right back to that day. They are so incredibly stunning. We are so happy we went with Ephe!

I am animated, honest and fun! I am a mom, wife, teacher, avid runner and overall a very passionate person. I love my family, anything nautical and really enjoy a great glass of bubbly at the end of a long day! I'd love to meet you!

Keane Eye Photography was an absolute joy to work with on our wedding day. From the moment we first contacted Erica, her communication was prompt, energizing and thorough, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the wedding, Erica and her second photographer were amazing with our family and kids, keeping everyone relaxed and having fun. They chose wonderful locations for our portraits that captured the beauty of our venue. Despite some rainy weather, Erica went above and beyond the contracted expectations, helping us pivot seamlessly and ensuring our special day was perfect. We are thrilled with the energetic and joyful photos that reflect the best day! Highly recommend!

Working with Nadia and her salon team continues to be fantastic and has changed the way I view beauty services for myself and the women in my life. For my wedding, Nadia helped me work within my budget to gift hair and makeup services to my bridesmaids and mother/mother-in-law. Carissa, Marissa, and Raquelle were so professional and made every woman feel and look amazing for my wedding day! I have continued to use this salon's services for regular spray tans and special occasion hair and makeup and I continue to feel amazing.

We're ALL about nontraditional flowers for modern couples here <3

Izy provided bouquets, boutonnières, and arch pieces for our August 2024 wedding and they were absolutely stunning! She put so much care and detail into my desired colors and arrangement and they came out even better than I imagined. They matched perfectly with our wedding party's outfits and we got so many compliments from our guests. I highly recommend Rocky Floral for any event!

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.

Isabelle is so incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and patient; a true artist with their flowers :') I emailed Isabelle to ask about DIY floral arrangements for our June 2025 wedding. We had such a fun time thinking up ways to engage my partner and I's family and friends, and Isabelle came up with the idea for a flower arranging party in their beautiful shop. The day before our wedding, we had our family try their hand at floral design. They had so many questions (ie, "Am I doing this right?" "What kind of flower is THIS?!"), and Isabelle greeted them all with understanding and care. AND there was handmade herbal tea and strong air conditioning on a 95-degree day. It was an experience I will never forget; thank you, Isabelle & the folks who make Fairy Meadow Flowers so special! :') Photo credit: Ken Yotsukura (& family/friends)
