Beautiful Florals!

Wander & Whimsy always has the most stunning florals! Past clients have loved using them for ceremony arches and other installations to make their event super special and really bring Fathom Gallery to life. We constantly hear how responsive and easy they were to work with and we’ve always been impressed with their work!

The absolute best!

From the first email with Haylie and our wedding planner, I was amazed with her design plan for our wedding day. Meeting Haylie and seeing her vision come to life for our table scape, made everything feel so real and made me love her work even more! Our wedding day florals could not have been more perfect. I was in awe of the elegance and simplicity of the centerpieces. The boutonnieres were simple and delicate. I loved my bouquet so much I had it pressed and preserved so I can admire it for years to come! I can’t recommend Haylie and her team enough. She was so easy to work with, understanding of our budget and space needs, and helped create such a beautiful day for us!

Perfect Execution and Wonderful to Work With!

I am so happy I chose the Wander + Whimsy team to do the florals for my wedding. I had a pretty large ballroom space that I wanted to transform into a much more cozy and romantic vibe. Haylie did a great job of executing my vision, and because of all the candles and floral arrangements on every table the space felt completely transformed. I love how the arrangements feel so natural and how movement seems to be incorporated into each design. I also absolutely loved my bouquet and the bridesmaid bouquets. I had so many people mention to me how beautiful our florals and candles were after the wedding, and again the designs really helped set the tone for the evening. I definitely recommend using the Wander + Whimsy team for your big day!

Beautiful florals!

My husband and I really enjoyed working with the folks at Wander • Whimsy! Haylie designed our florals so beautiful and we really trusted her to bring our loose vision into a stunning reality! We really wanted to focus on greenery, herbs, air plants, and succulents as well as some neutral florals. The folks at Wander • Whimsy included all these hopes both in our elopement florals and the larger pieces for our big wedding celebration the following year. We would highly recommend working with this team!

Exceeded our Expectations!

Dear Wander and Whimsy:

I could not let another day go by without sending a note of thanks for the spectacular bouquets and floral arrangements for Abbey and Kortez’s wedding this past Saturday 24 September. They exceeded our expectations; simply breathtaking. I could not have imagined anything more perfect.

With a wedding theme of black, white, and gold, the deep burgundy and red flowers were key in setting the tone and mood for the event. We were obsessed with the burgundy calla lilies and the hydrangeas were beyond!

Thank you so much for bringing Abbey’s vision to life! We are immensely grateful.

Sincerely,
Mother of the Bride

Stunning work and great people

I'm so glad we chose to work with Haylie and her team on our wedding florals. Haylie is a joy to work with as a person on top of being an incredibly talented professional. She was joyful, responsive and creative during the process and executed beautiful florals at our tasting and mockup so that we could get a sense of how our vision would play out. Then on the wedding day she went above and beyond -- what she put together exceeded all of my expectations. Her taste is impeccable -- everything felt abundant and fresh and she worked hard to find ways to design floral pieces that could be repurposed throughout the evening so that we could maximize our budget. I would absolutely hire her again for a future event!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
