About this vendor

If you’re looking for outside-the-ordinary wedding flowers, you’ve found them.

We are farmer-florists creating locally-sourced, sustainably-grown, seasonal floral arrangements for St. Louis-area weddings since 2018.

Our designs are filled with life, color, and movement. We draw our inspiration from the time we spend ‘off the beaten path’ in Midwestern forests and prairies. Each bouquet is rich in the flowers, branches, seedpods, leaves, berries, and vines that embody the season of your wedding and the elegance of the natural world. Many of the varieties we use you won’t find at any other florist. We strive to maintain the natural world with our business practices, which are low-waste and low-emissions, respecting all living things human and otherwise. Designing with native plants holds a special place in our hearts; when it comes to creating elegant, upscale floral designs with them, no one does it better than we do.

Whether it’s an arbor or arch, freestanding floral pillars, a chuppah, altar, or mandap — we love creating floral backdrops for your ceremony. Even better? When we get to hang flowers from the ceiling or float them in water. From hanging cascading garlands and vining greenery to floral chandeliers or floating blooms in a venue's lake, fountain, or pool, we love covering any and every surface at your wedding in flowers.

Best vendor at our wedding

For our wedding we wanted something a little more natural and wild than your standard formal bouquets, centerpieces etc. Thank goodness we connected with Wild Ginger. Carolyn doesn’t just go to the wholesaler downtown and pick up the same roses and peonies as everyone else. She harvested a good portion of the greenery and natives from her own wild yard, and the result are these totally unique arrangements that put Missouri flora front and center. You realize it is not all about blossoms, it is about seedheads, ferns, an array of textures and shades of green, the overall composition.
Of all our vendors Carolyn was the easiest to coordinate with. We knew what things cost, what we were getting, when it would be there. Gorgeous arrangements and no drama. Worth every penny.

Beautiful!

The arrangements were perfect and Carolyn was incredible. We felt like she really understood our vision without being shy about sharing her own opinion and expertise, we loved having the opportunity to use more local and seasonal flowers, and she made the process incredibly smooth and transparent.

Simply stunning

We chose Wild Ginger because they source florals locally, strive to work sustainably, and create beautiful floral art, but they were also incredibly easy to work with! Carolyn was timely and communicative the entire time. We contacted her over a year before our wedding date when she was about to go on maternity leave and she was great about letting us know when she would be returning emails and quotes. Throughout the process she was responsive by email and available to meet via Zoom. She patiently worked with us to stay within budget even after we changed plans multiple times. She even sourced some beautiful columns for us to use for our ceremony. Ultimately, because our venue was pretty far away we opted to do pick up and Carolyn made sure to provide all the materials needed for proper set up so it was sturdy and could withstand any wind. I was going for a wildflower theme with an emphasis on dahlias and coneflowers and she delivered! Overall we had a great experience and would whole heartedly recommend hiring Wild Ginger!

Creative and beautiful designs

The Wild Ginger team were incredible! They were so thoughtful in their planning, coordination, and taking time to discuss options and budget. I don't know much about flowers and didn't have a plan, so they came up with a vision, designed everything. and then made their vision come alive. They even helped me find ways to weave my something new, old, borrowed and blue into my ceremony by finding ways to build them into my bouquet and chuppah. The team worked so hard and they didn't just decorate the venue - they built the atmosphere with their hard work and beautiful designs. I am so thankful for Wild Ginger Weddings, and I could not recommend them highly enough.

Beyond beautiful!

We hired Wild Ginger as our wedding florist and could not have been happier! I mean it when I say Carolyn's flowers brought me to tears-they were that beautiful! I would highly recommend working with Wild Ginger. Carolyn is a master at creating beautiful, earthy arrangements, and she was so kind throughout the entire process. We loved every single tiny detail she put together and appreciate all of her hard work!

Carolyn is incredible

Carolyn worked with us to execute our vision perfectly. Having a fall wedding not wanting dark/bright colored fall colors was a tough ask but Carolyn absolutely nailed it. Our chuppah, bud vases for the reception tables, and bouquets/boutonnieres were seriously amazing. We are so lucky to have worked with her!

Succulents for the win!

Carolyn was amazing! She captured our vision perfectly. I wanted succulents in my bouquet and centerpieces and on the cake (basically everywhere) and she went above and beyond, making everything so beautiful. She even did little flower crowns for the flower girls and they were so cute. Everything was perfect!!

Sustainability and beautiful designs

Working with Carolyn of Wild Ginger was wonderful, and the floral arrangements she did were incredible. We didn’t have strong opinions about colors, flower types, or designs, but wanted someone who would put together something seasonal, sustainable, and local. She has a passion for sustainable agriculture, so was an obvious choice for us. We didn’t give her much direction beyond that, and she knocked it out of the park. She showed us likely flowers and colors ahead of time and gave us photos of flowers as they started arriving week of the event. She gave good instructions on keeping the flowers fresh and how to hold to bouquets properly. It was so nice to be able to hand off the design and decision making to a professional.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
