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.

Absolutely Beautiful Flowers!

I couldn’t have been happier with Growing Wild Floral for my wedding. They were amazing from start to finish, creating floral designs that perfectly brought my vision to life. I absolutely loved my flowers — they were stunning! The team listened to everything I asked for and delivered far beyond my expectations. I couldn’t recommend them more. Thank you for making my wedding feel like a true fairytale!

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!

Gorgeous Flowers - HIGHLY recommend

I strongly recommend working with Growing Wild. We went out to the farm to pick out the flowers that we liked using little flower playing cards, which was extremely fun. The flowers were stunning. One of my bridesmaids said that she's been a bridesmaid several times but had never had such a gorgeous bouquet because usually the bridesmaid bouquet is really small and sad looking. All the bouquets were stunning. The chuppah was vibrant. Growing Wild also really listens to their clients and helps come up with really good solutions, like our flower girl passing out flowers to guests rather than dropping petals. I strongly recommend that you give your flower girl a flower halo because then the bride gets to wear it later that night which is just so beautiful. Growing Wild was one of the first vendors were booked, and I have no regrets at all about this choice.

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!

Beautiful & sustainably grown flowers!

Working with Growing Wild was wonderful. We were having a big wedding in a museum so we knew we wanted beautiful flowers that fit the venue. However, it was important to us to prioritize more sustainable options in our wedding, including for flowers. Growing Wild gave us the opportunity to have flowers that were both beautiful and sustainably grown on their farm/in their greenhouse in Virginia. We shared more about our vision with Lindsey and then left it to her and the result was excellent. We took some of the flowers home and the ones we didn't they composted for us. Highly recommend Growing Wild especially if you're looking for ways to make your wedding more sustainable without compromising quality!

Stunning Flowers

Growing Wild provided flowers for my wedding on Oct. 12, 2024 - Lindsey was wonderful to work with from start to finish! She was able to help my fiancé and I bring together our ideas for our wedding flowers, arrangements and centerpieces into one cohesive vision, then take it and bring it to life. We loved everything about the flowers - thank you to Growing Wild for helping to make our day beautiful and memorable!

Beautiful wedding florals!

I am so glad we found Growing Wild for our wedding. We had a great experience working with them and the flowers were beautiful! I also appreciated the flexibility to change/add a few more florals during the month leading up to the wedding day.

Simply Incredible

Loved working with Barbara and Lindsey from growing wild. Ensuring sustainability throughout our wedding planning was incredibly important, and growing wild was the perfect florist for this. Everything comes from their farm out in Delaplane, which my husband and I had the pleasure of visiting before our wedding. :)

Barbara and Lindsey helped us pick colors and varieties that matched our vision and style, while being mindful of costs and environmental impact (not flying in out of season flowers from another country). The flowers came out beautifully, and there were more than I expected. Highly recommend working with growing wild floral for your special day.

Beautiful, sustainably-managed florals

The team did a wonderful job on my bouquet. To reduce waste, I used rented flowers for everything except my own bouquet, so I just needed something that would go with my chosen design, but still stand out from the rest. They took my inspiration photos and created a beautiful piece that I am now having preserved as a memory of the day. Most importantly, their farm is run with sustainability in mind. A great choice for Northern Virginia!

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.
