As someone who doesn't know a peony from a poppy, I was so thankful to have a professional like Barbara taking care of our floral arrangements. My husband and I met with her to get a general sense of what we needed and what we liked, and she sat for 2 hours going through hundreds of photos and taking copious notes to deliver exactly what was expected. I especially appreciated that she was realistic about what was going to be in season, what would be prohibitively expensive, and what would hold up all day through the wedding. I'd rather know those points going in than have a wilting, expensive bouquet at ceremony time. Barbara was also incredibly flexible as we changed our vision multiple times and provided some of our own glassware. The flowers delivered were drop-dead gorgeous and remained bright and fresh for 12+ hours. I can't wait to get the photos back so I can see them all over again. If I had any advice for brides working with Barbara, it's this: trust her. I'm absolutely positive that our arrangements were 10x better because we gave her maximum flexibility than they would have been if we dictated exactly what we wanted.

Absolutely Stunning!
Barbara and her team gave us the perfect touch to our big day with the flowers of our dreams! We had several different flower arrangements from personal bouquets to the church flowers to the dinner table settings and they perfected them all! We met with Barbara twice before our big day and showed her lots of inspiration pictures. She knew exactly what to do and asked us to "trust her". I'm so glad we did! We love the fact that she grows the flowers on her farm in Virginia and it was an awesome option to just "rent" some of the vases and such, which she came back for at the end of the evening. We highly recommend Growing Wild to all future brides!!

Highly recommend
I feel so lucky we found Barbara and her company - she and her team are truly talented. At our first meeting, Barbara spent over an hour with me looking at flowers and getting a sense of what I liked. She sent me a comprehensive flower description and price quote days later. About two weeks before the big day, we spoke again and checked in! The flowers on the wedding day exceeded my expectations - they were EXACTLY what I was envisioning (but of course, could not describe myself). Barbara totally understood what I was going for and made my vision come to life. Even better, her price was better than others I spoke to - in part because she has her own farm! I cannot recommend Barbara and Growing Wild enough!

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.
Barbara's flowers are always amazing and our clients really enjoy working with her. We look forward to any event that employs her floral decor.
