Located on a historic farm in Dutchtown that dates back to the 1870s, Urban Buds is “an oasis in a sea of concrete.”
Founders Mimo Davis and Miranda Duschack describe creating wedding arrangements as their “greatest joy,” and the passion and artistry shows. They will harvest your flowers hours before your special day kicks off, maximizing freshness and vibrancy. From ceremony (bouquets and boutonnieres) to reception flowers, Urban Buds designs both à la carte and full service weddings.
Tony Montano, owner and principal designer of BUDS Floral Design, and his team, provide more than beautiful adornments. Part of their exceptional service is getting to know you in order to incorporate your personal styles down to the last detail. BUDS arrangements transform diverse venues, including traditional spots like chapels and vineyards, as well as laidback ones like backyards and homes.
The onsite garden center and greenhouse at Flowers & Weeds features a variety of flowers selected for creating a “textural, romantic” design.

Flowers & Weeds folks are expert seasonable growers: They can tell you exactly which blooms will be most fruitful for the season and match the most exquisite tones with your personal style. Is your wedding in spring? Poppies will be popping off. Looking at summer or fall? Try a fragrant bridal bouquet with basil or lavender.
