Gasped and cried when I saw my bouquet

Growing Wild was one of the best parts of our wedding. Our flowers were breathtaking, and truly looked like Lindsay saw what was inside my head and ran with it. Our guests (and their friends who saw them online) can't stop complimenting the flowers. Beyond that, the team is amazing to work with - professional, warm, and so invested in making your day perfect. They really know what they are doing, and you'll have a blast working with them. My partner and I consider the entire floral process to be a highlight of the wedding. Not enough good to say about the quality, sustainability, professionalism, and admirable business practices.

Lindsey and her team made my floral dreams a reality!

I cannot say enough good things about the process and result of working with Growing Wild for our florals this weekend! Lindsey was patient and positive even as I sometimes struggled to convey what I was looking for during our planning sessions. She was realistic with what could be done, asked the right questions, and I was amazed by the result. Florals are one aspect of a wedding where you cannot know exactly what the result will be and requires an additional layer of trust compared to other vendors and decisions - she confidently executed and I could not be happier. My only feedback is that I felt unprepared for our planning session (which was SUCH a fun day) and would recommend the team explicitly send the admin/less fun questions in advance of this so that I could have felt better prepared to address those and focus more on the design side. Thank you Lindsey and everyone who played a role!

Wonderful team!

The Growing Wild team is just wonderful to work with! They really take the time to listen to what their client is asking for and help ensure their vision comes to life. On the day of the wedding, they are always there on time, if not early, and stay until everything is set up as expected. I highly recommend Growing Wild!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

We highly recommend Barabara of Growing Wild. She was even the florist for our blizzard wedding and the bride's flowers were still stunning. We are always thrilled when we know it's her work will be shooting. She is creative and amazing to work with!

Growing Wild time and time again comes in at budget and provides a gorgeous product. My clients are always thrilled with the bouquets and arrangements. Growing Wild is always on time at the beginning and end of the event. Responses via email are always timely, and appointments are easy to make. But ultimately it comes down to the floral design. The array of props is wide, and the quality of the floral is just stunning. You can't go wrong when you hire Growing Wild.
