Disappointed, first the good I ordered flowers on a Friday…read moreand they were delivered on Monday as promised ( they don't deliver on weekends) The bad news , I made the mistake of choosing Designer's Selection and ended up with a bunch of straggly daisies of various varieties but not at all what you would expect after selecting Premium and seeing the advertised displays , it looked like something I could have grabbed in cellophane at the Hy-Vee and plopped in a cheap vase for less than half the price. Maybe this is not what they usually do , just caught on bad day but still each customer can only go by their own experience and when you are paying that kind of money you expect a nice bouquet. There were half dozen nice flowers poked in among the filler tho, besides the little flowers

Fast forward 4 1/2 months later and they are as green and as lush as ever! I recently stopped in to order a fall floral arrangement as a gift for a coworker. I believed I worked with Megan, their wedding coordinator, on customizing colors, flowers, and the vase! She was so helpful and knew exactly how to cater the arrangement to my vision. The store is adorable and they are currently in the process of expanding. I cannot wait to see it when it is finished! A great florist, with even better customer service and attention to detail!

The Most Magical Flower Crown I've Ever Seen!!…read more Wildflower DSM created the flower crown of my dreams. It was vibrant, whimsical, and completely breathtaking--exactly what I envisioned and so much more. The blend of bold colors, soft wildflowers, and unique textures came together in a way that felt effortlessly beautiful and totally "me." I truly felt like a goddess wearing it. It held up perfectly from morning to night and made me feel confident, joyful, and radiant. It wasn't just an accessory--it became a statement piece that tied my whole look together and made me feel incredibly special. If you're looking for a florist who understands artistry, intention, and individuality, Wildflower DSM is it. I'll never forget how I felt wearing that crown--pure magic.

As an Events Business I would not recommend Wildflower. Unless you have an easy turnkey event. They…read moredisplay very few of the best practices for putting on an event. Smiles and improvisations without anticipation and execution excellence simply do not cut it. In the case of the event hosted at my home - overall an audience pleaser. But not behind the scenes or in the details. Do not count on them for budget management. They allowed a tent floor installation that led to falls and broken glass. They left areas unprepared for guests. They wasted money on displays that fizzled or flopped. They had no response to rain besides - "Do you have a Swiffer we can borrow." The event happening over a large space included no communications (standard practice). They were asked to solve for safety on steps and dropped the ball. Use them for pretty flower arrangements but not to arrange lifetime events. Too much risk. Not value for money.
