  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves New Hampshire

Seaside Peonies is a sustainable floral studio in Newburyport, growing and arranging flowers for weddings and special occasions in New England. We would be honored to help you tell your love story with beautiful, seasonal flowers. Our lush, garden-style arrangements are inspired by the natural, untamed beauty of the New England coast. We can provide all of your florals for your big day (Full Service option), or you can select just the florals you need from our A La Carte Flower menu. Either way, we offer complimentary consultations so we can help bring your vision for your special day to life!

Seaside Peonies was an absolute delight! From our very first conversation, Nancy demonstrated a warm, responsive, creative, attentive, expert, and talented approach. The quality of her work is truly stellar - the flowers perfectly complemented the quaint Inn, our colonial blue theme, and our overall style. The bouquets, boutonnieres, ceremony space, reception decor, were all executed with perfection, elegance and natural beauty. She knew just the right questions to ask to fully capture our vision, budget, and dream, delivering a superb and detailed proposal, creation, delivery, and set up. On the wedding day, the venue asked her to delay the set up a few hours, and she pivoted flawlessly to execute everything perfectly. We could not have been more thrilled with Seaside Peonies and highly recommend Nancy to any couple looking for an exceptional florist for their special day.

Bumble and Bee Floral Wedding Designs were an absolute pleasure to work with for our daughters’ weddings this past year. We used Bumble and Bee for both weddings and were delighted each time. From the very beginning, their communication was efficient, accommodating, and they showed a genuine understanding of our needs and vision. The quality of their work was outstanding and exceeded our expectations - the floral arrangements they created were truly top-notch. They listened carefully to our vision for the day and remained calm and professional throughout, helping to make our special day exactly what we had hoped for. We couldn't have been happier with Bumble and Bee and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

Little Blooms

Nashua, NH
  • Starts at $4,000

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'.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we reached out to Little Blooms, their communication was responsive, consistent and clear. Danielle and her team were a joy to work with, bringing a creative, colorful and whimsical touch to every aspect of our wedding florals. They were the masterminds behind all my wedding day florals from my my stunning bouquet, the vibrant table arrangements, to the lush greenery that transformed our tent. Danielle's work exceeded my wildest dreams, and even 3 months after our wedding, our guests are still complimenting the beauty of the floral displays. We couldn't be happier with the exceptional service and quality of work from Little Blooms. Could not recommend Little Blooms enough!

Blue Dahlia Wooden Florals, LLC

Biddeford, ME
  • Serves New Hampshire

My business started when I was planning my own wedding. I love flowers, but we couldn't justify spending hundreds or thousands on real flowers to throw them away in a week when we also found out we were expecting our first child at the same time. In came wood flowers! After much practice, I discovered I have an eye for colors and floral design and now 4 years and MANY weddings and THOUSANDS of home decor pieces later, this is not only my passion but it is also my full time business. No side hustle here! You will have my undivided attention. I'll make sure your floral dreams come to life in wood and the best part, they LAST FOREVER!

Nectar & Vessel 

5.0

EPPING, NH
  • Starts at $6,500
  • Serves New Hampshire

At Nectar & Vessel our ethos is sustainability + bliss-forward designs. We specialize in arrangements that are full of texture, unique and lush. We crave the weirdo flowers, the heirloom varieties and mixing in contrasting natural elements. 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 and her team at Nectar & Vessel was truly an incredible experience. Aside from the marriage itself and celebrating with our loved ones, the floral design was the part of wedding-planning I was most excited about, so finding the right team to make it all happen was really important to me. From our first meeting, it was obvious how warm, talented, creative, professional, and enthusiastic Naomi is - she is so passionate and knowledgeable about what she does, and it really shows in her work. Naomi and her team went above and beyond to distill all of my ideas and wishes into a final cohesive vision that was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! Everything Naomi and her team created was stunningly executed - from the bouquets, boutonnieres, and the gorgeous chuppah at our ceremony, to the lush arrangements, centerpieces, and hanging greenery at the cocktail hour and reception, to the magical floral clouds that hung over our dance floor. Many guests told me that these were the most beautiful floral designs that they had seen at any wedding they’ve ever been to - I’m still receiving compliments about them months later. We especially appreciated Naomi’s attention to detail (she and her team made little bouquets for guests to take home at the end of the evening that everyone loved), and how conscientious she is about sustainability (she uses reusable vessels for everything and doesn’t use disposable foam products - something that can be hard to come by in the floral industry). Writing this review was challenging because it’s so difficult to find the words to properly convey how beautiful everything was and how grateful we are for Naomi and her team’s work! We wholeheartedly recommend Naomi and her team at Nectar & Vessel to anyone looking for floral design for their wedding or event, and we are so thankful to have had them by our sides on our special day.

She was so wonderful to work with throughout the process and always answered my questions promptly. The day of our wedding, we were blown away by our florals - it was everything we dreamed of and more. She has such creativity and vision and was able to repurpose all of our florals from our ceremony in our reception as well. We can’t thank Jessica and White Birch Florals enough for helping make our wedding day so beautiful and magical - definitely don’t hesitate to book them

Zofia was such a pleasure to work with for our September wedding. She was flexible during the planning process as we decided what our decor would look like and was easily able to amend our contract when things changed. The planning moodboard we received from Zofia was gorgeous and a testament to her creative powers. Leading up to the wedding, all details were easy to finalize as Zofia was very communicative. Day-of, she was there early to get everything set-up and to get all the personal flowers delivered. Everything looked amazing, and I can’t say enough about our bouquets and sweetheart table!

Lyndsey was so wonderful to work with! We opted for minimal florals at our wedding (bouquet, boutonnières, corsages, cake flowers, and a sweetheart table arrangement) and Lyndsey knocked it out of the park! We went for a minimal design, just white florals for our winter/Christmastime wedding and she made the most beautiful arrangements. She was so lovely to work with, communicative, friendly and lovely when we met her in the wedding morning for drop-off. We can’t recommend her enough!

With just my Pinterest moodboard and one short in person meeting, Susanne’s nailed what I wanted for my florals. Not to mention, the pricing was extremely fair and they even put in the extra effort to reuse lanterns from my ceremony for the reception, and set them up for us. On the day, they were on time and everything looked as we had discussed. I am so obsessed with my flowers that I am currently in the process of drying them so I can keep them forever.

Arturo has been with us since he was 18, and we have seen him grow in so many ways. He is extremely friendly and all of the guests always love him. He is dedicated and highly focused on the details, and that commitment shines through in both his team and his floral designs. We’ve worked with many florists and the property has never been adorned with so many beautiful and unique arrangements. For Agatha & Bartek’s wedding, the entire estate was filled with breathtaking flowers all weekend long. From the rehearsal dinner to the wedding day and after day brunch. The tent was alive with vibrancy, and the way he incorporates flowers, even weaving them seamlessly with trees, is truly stunning.

Flowers are so important to me and I knew from the beginning what my vision was. A little background I am from MA and my wedding was held in Whitefield NH so I had to do ALOT of researching to find my vendors. I searched for floral shops in the area and stumbled across Emily's page and I couldn't be more happy I did!!! Emily is a pleasure to work with and so thorough. She is so easy to talk to and truly loves her work you can tell by her excitement when discussing your project and the final product. Every time we talked I hung up feeling confident about the conversation, which may seem strange to say but during the wedding planning process you would be surprised at how many conversations you have that end and just dont sit right. After we chatted a bit and I sent her my inspiration pictures she sent me back the contact and my goodness even that was beautiful! Now I am a type A personality so I am very organized and thorough myself but let me tell you that contract was excellent. It listed the flowers she intended to use and my color pallet etc. When you see it you'll know! She completely understood what I wanted every suggestion she made was right on track with my taste. I LOVE how she uses different kinds of plants and flowers and just puts it all together and your bouquet becomes an actual work of art. I was speechless when she brought them in they were better them I could have imagined they were PERFECT! Make your life simple and have Emily make your wedding perfect with her flowers and personality you will not be disappointed!!!!
