Wonderful Experience for Wedding Flowers!

Jo took her time to get to know me and find out what I was looking for. I had quite a few changes due to Covid and the craziness going on but she worked with me. She exceeded all of my expectations and created an actual piece of flower art for my wedding. Everyone commented on it. It was the centerpiece of our ceremony. The bouquets were gorgeous as well. I loved the colors and romantic style. Jo was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her.

Beyond amazing, utterly gorgeous

Jo and her team at Wilder Flowers were BEYOND AMAZING for my July wedding at Holman Ranch! She executed my vision flawlessly, and made it even better and gave me what I wanted even though I couldn't quite put it in exact words. She is truly an artist, and her flowers made my wedding truly unforgettable.

Right from the start, Jo showed that she is extremely thorough, detailed oriented, and a good listener. She very patiently walked me through her plan to keep the flowers fresh in the heat on our very first call -- and deliver she did!

Jo and her team also put together the MOST INCREDIBLE and gorgeous floral installation for my cocktail bar. All I did was show her one picture on Instagram (and only on our second call which was

Absolutely worth every penny!

I’ll be the first to say I’m typically not a huge flower person, but WOW. Jo created the most beautiful bouquets and floral arrangements and it fully brought an inviting fresh, bright energy to our wedding day. Many people commented on them the day of and after our wedding. I can’t stop looking at photos of how stunning they were! She took great care asking many questions to understand and help build our vision and she and her team absolutely delivered. And above her skills with floral design, she’s such a kind, down to earth person. I’m so grateful to have gotten to work with her and would recommend her a million times over!!!

Felton/ Scott’s Valley perfection!

Jo provided flowers for my daughter’s wedding and rehearsal dinner in April 2021. All events were outdoors (per COVID restrictions)and she designed breathtaking arrangements to compliment the forested backdrops. She is a a true artist. The bride’s bouquet and bridesmaid’s were exquisite, and the gentlemen’s boutonnières were lovely and unique. My daughter was thrilled with how beautiful all of the flowers were and so was I!

Your Best Bouquet

Jo created the most beautiful bouquet for my wedding day. Our wedding was a plan-b COVID wedding, small and intimate, but planned in a bit of a rush. I was afraid I didn't give Jo enough direction, but I was so wrong. Jo is a true creative and can envision exactly what you're looking for through just a brief phone call. My flowers were so beautiful. I only wish they could have lasted forever. You cannot go wrong with letting Jo create a beautiful and unique arrangement for your special day. Jo, thank you so much for making my wedding day so special!

Gorgeous flowers for a late fall wedding

Jo did an incredible job with the flowers for our wedding at the end of November. It was a bit challenging to find the blooms at that time of year but everything came together so beautifully, and we received a ton of compliments. The flowers really made the event space, and we could not have been happier.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
