    The most incredible flowers you'll ever see

    Working with Bowerbird was honestly phenomenal! They exceeded my wildest dreams with the most beautiful floral arrangements and bouqets I've ever seen. Not only were the flowers phenomenal, but Diane and Lily were such a joy to work with. You can tell that flowers are their passion and that comes through with every interaction I had with them. Even on the day of our wedding when Diane delivered the flowers- I mentioned how in love I was with the flowers, and she almost cried. She truly loves her work - and that's all you can ask for in a wedding vendor! I would recommend Bowerbird 1000x over.

    Gorgeous Natural Floral Arrangements & Installments

    Bowerbird created gorgeous floral arrangements for our rehearsal dinner at the Durham Food Hall and our wedding celebration at The Cookery. We gave them little direction beyond colors and aesthetic and the results were stunning!! I was particularly blown away by the full flower arch that they created for our altar. They have a ton of fun, unique vases, bowls, and votives to choose from as well which really added character to the space. Beyond being really talented artists, Lily and Diane were incredibly easy to work with – they were fun, warm, and accommodating!

    Wild, natural looking arrangements that stole the show

    We were looking for a “wildflower” look for our wedding day which led us to working with Bowerbird Flowers. They went above and beyond my expectations. They came up with the idea for the most beautiful ground arrangement to go under the tree we were married near. It elevated the space while still feeling natural. Everyone at the wedding commented on how beautiful the arrangements were. My bouquet was beautiful and I can’t wait to see how all of the flowers look in our photos. Thank you Diane and Lily for making our day perfect!
