I hired Gainesville florist for my wedding a year and a half ago. I wanted to keep flowers very…read moresimple so I only order a bride's bouquet, bridesmaid bouquet, corsages and boutineers for the appropriate people. I did not order any flowers to decorate the church or the reception. I was extremely disappointed!!! The bouquets were VERY small and some of the flowers had not even bloomed yet. My bride's bouquet had a ribbon wrapping that broke before the ceremony after I started holding it for pre-wedding pictures. I had to quickly wrap it and hold it tightly for the flowers to hold. I had asked for a full round bouquet of roses and calla-lillies. Instead my bouquet looked like I was literally holding some long-stem roses as the stems seemed as though they weren't even trimmed. Not to mention the fact that there were less than a dozen roses in the bouquet and it looked like it would be the size of a small bridesmaid bouquet. The bride's bouquet was $100, pretty crazy considering I could have picked up a dozen roses at the local grocery store for $15. The bridesmaid bouquets ($50/each) looked like they should have been for a flowergirl they were so small. The groomsmens' boutineers were calla lillies and seemed to be all different sizes. I loved almost every part of my wedding day, but if I could go back and change one thing, I would hire a different florist.

I had no idea what I was missing all these years! The decor is absolutely beautiful; the flowers are fragrant, expertly crafted and always fresh. My favorite part about the experience, though, had to be the Polish pottery displayed all about the room. The owner shared the fascinating history about how these beautiful pieces are made. I won't tell you myself, but I highly recommend you ask next time you stop in. I mentioned that it was my birthday while I was buying one of the mugs (pictured below), and the owner quickly began picking out complimentary flowers for me and my grandmother! I am definitely making this my go-to flower shop anytime I come back to Warrenton, and will never buy flowers from a grocery store again! Support local businesses

I went to their site and saw a beautiful arrangement "Sleek Romance"; roses, carnations, baby breath, and one flower I do not know of but the colors were peach and red with sprinkles of white and I knew the family member it was going to would love it. After taxes it came up to $101.00 which is about average for an arrangement of that kind. I immediately received an email after placing my order that it had been received. Also, in that same email was in fine print that they service 200 zip codes in the DMV area, so I knew afterwards that my order could potentially be cancelled. It was not cancelled, it was in fact transferred to another florists nearer NJ who did their own design (not at all the same arrangement but close) and also selected a date outside of my chosen date. The arrangement was delivered the day before Valentine's Day and not of and this bothered me because the florists assured Open Blooms it would be delivered today. I would give them another try because they are a family-owned business and they are local to the DMV. I'd also do my own due diligence of cancelling my own order before having them find another florist to arrange and deliver my order.

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.

Working with Growing Wild was such an amazing and special experience for us from the start. They…read morewere recommended to us from our venue and I'm so glad we found them. First of all, working with Barbara in itself was one of our favorite parts- she lends such a great, quirky, humorous, but warm energy to the experience that made us feel at ease and taken care of. She encouraged coming out to her farm whenever we could to see the flowers, containers, and candles, and to discuss all of the nitty gritty details. Growing Wild is unique in that they grow and supplement with their own flowers on Barbara's amazing northern VA farm property in addition to wholesale purchased florals. She has much more flex and creativity in what flowers can be used on your day. So, what does this mean? This means that on our LATE JUNE wedding, we got luxurious and highly coveted peonies and ranunculus from the farm!!! These normally are ephemeral May only flowers. It's clear that Barbara and her team have such an expert understanding of blending colors, textures, and moods (yes, flowers have moods!) that if you just give her your color palette, wedding vibe, and budget, she can comfortably take it from there. I had a vision from the start and she understood completely what I wanted and how to deliver with great tips and tricks to tie in other elements I hadn't even considered. If I brought in ideas, Barbara found a way to make it happen. Now, let's talk about budgeting. Growing Wild was so understanding and respectful of having a clear budget and staying close to or within it. Barbara was straightforward about what would cost more, how to stay within budget, what was worth it and what wasn't, and was so reasonable with pricing and worked so well with us in our pricing comfort zone. She knows all the tricks to getting the best bang for your buck, including lots of floral repurposing. On my wedding day, I was absolutely blown away by the florals and there is no question the tone, beauty, and visual experience they set for everyone on the day. The colors, the artful arrangements, the creativity, the variety....wow!!! They even repurposed the flowers on our arch to below our sweetheart table which created an amazing look. Many arrangements had multiple purposes and gave me such joy to see used more than once- the bridesmaids bouquets in clear vases near the welcome area, the ceremony chair posies used on tables at cocktail hour and on the outside steps at our reception, and the two large aisle arrangements creatively flanking our greenery/neon sign wall (which I didn't think of and never would have, and was so excited to see when I walked in- genius for awesome photos). Barbara's daughter Lindsey did most of the floral coordination and set up on the day of and she was similarly just as awesome and artful with the entire experience. Barbara and the Growing Wild team, you all made our floral dreams come true and we can't imagine our day without you in it. I'll never forget all of our flowers; from my bouquet, to the ceremony arch, to the high and low arrangements, to the whimsical welcome sign arrangement... the list goes on and on. We got SO many compliments. HIRE GROWING WILD!
