We believe that no two marriages are alike, and that every wedding is, and ought to be, completely personal.

Our designs are three things -
Beautiful, Meaningful, Affordable.
And we think that's what a wedding ought to be.

Our family-owned business is based in Storrs, Connecticut, and has been serving

Very professional....great work...Custom Floral are the florist you want for your wedding
Custom Floral has very talented and knowledgeable floral artists, and are great to work with! We have had the pleasure of using several bouquets during one of our Trunk Shows, which matched perfectly with our dresses. When you combine a great eye for color, romantic ispiration, and a great staff, you are sure to have the perfect floral pieces for your perfect day!
I’ve worked with Lisa from Custom Floral on many different weddings over the years. She has a wonderful work ethic, and passion along with a creative outlook. She has been able to create and expand on my bride’s ideas and wants while working with their budget. If there is a flower that is out of reach, she is quick to offer another suggestions. She is easy to get a hold of, answers any messages quickly and is always on top of things. Her staff is a pleasure to work with too, always on top of things. I highly recommend Lisa for any of your flower needs!
