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 would much rather take a nice meal and a bottle of adult beverages to the family and talk about good times. You can't always do that these days with everyone living here, there and yonder so you try to do something that will at least make someone smile. This florist could not have been more helpful. They got the order out quickly and as you can see, they are just gorgeous. So befitting a young man who fibbed about his age and at 16 joined up to serve our country in WWll. Hydrangeas and Southern gentleman go hand in hand. I wish every florist was as nice as these people were!

My husband sent me some flowers today to cheer me up after a really bad day yesterday. When I got…read morethem, I noticed the water was very dirty, and the flowers looked a little old and beat up. There were also hard water lines on the inside of the vase where the water had evaporated over the last few days/week. This was clearly an old bouquet, either made for someone else and not used, or maybe for a display in the store, and then they just used it for my arrangement.... without even bothering to put the flowers in clean water. Very disappointing.

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!
