I got married in May of 2015, I picked May because I knew all of the flowers I liked would be in season then! The flowers were something I was most excited about and had been pinning before I even got engaged. I was obsessed with big blooms, peonies, ranunculus, and as many brides are these day eucalyptus leaves. Planning my wedding from a few states away I couldn't meet in person with anyone but with the internet these days that was not an issue. I really loved all of Caroline's work and knew she would be one of my top picks. She was so easy to work with and was flexible and understanding when sending over quotes. Ultimately based on price and previous work I decided to book Caroline! I sent over my Pinterest board and off we went! In our contract she describes my bouquet as having big blooms and lush greenery, wild over flowering. Yes, exactly what I wanted. When she walked in to my hotel on wedding day I was really thrown off that the flowers she brought in were my bouquet. The crew was in a rush so she just asked me where I should put the flowers down without giving me a good look at the bouquet. I was upset the minute I saw it. But, I didn't want to be a bridezilla and when my MOH offered to call to get Caroline back to the hotel to try to update the flowers I don't remember exactly what happened but it didn't work out. I know flowers die when they aren't in water which is why I picked out the flowers and greenery that I did. My bouquet was full of small white wild flowers, which were in none of my inspiration photos. As you can see from my photo they promptly died right after the 30 minute ceremony. Ranunculus were no where to be found and when I asked Caroline after the wedding she let me know the batch she got in weren't in good shape. It was disappointing that there was no other supplier that she could have found a few at. I was also renting a huppah from Caroline and she was providing the flowers for it as well as draping an ivory cloth over the top. While I was en route to the wedding my soon to be husband started texting me letting me know that the huppah was not the one he thought we had gotten. I found out afterwards the pots that Caroline brought to stand the huppah up had broken during transit. The venue had a similar huppah so she thought it was best to use that one. I knew the venue had that huppah and requested to rent one from Caroline because their's was on wheels, which I thought looked cheesy. She also forgot to put the drape up over the huppah. She did a beautiful job with the flowers on the huppah, but a huppah traditionally is always draped, huppah means wedding canopy after all. I was disappointed that the drape was forgotten. The cocktail hour bud vases were beautiful and she did a wonderful job decorating the mantel like we had talked about. The centerpieces were also pretty, my bouquet was just so disappointing. Especially disappointing from someone who loves flowers and is still thinking about it a year and a half later. If you can spare the cash I recommend doing a sample bouquet, had I done that things would have been much different! read more

Wildfolk - Bouquet died quickly and all the flowers that died were ones I didn't request. - Florists Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

I used Wildfolk for my Memorial Day Weekend wedding, and despite having several other events to attend to on such a busy weekend, my wedding was perfectly executed. She was on time, assisted with delivery and set up outside of her usual contracts, and everything arranged exactly as we discussed. My wedding went off without a hitch. Leading up to the big day, Caroline created a vision for my flowers and kept the lines of communication open. She was flexible around changes I wanted to make and was able to provide suggestions to what I was looking for. Day of, she found a way to incorporate an important piece of jewelry into my bouquet for me, and made my flowers even more special. The flower girls LOVED their flower crowns and she made them feel like little princesses (all five of them). I would absolutely recommend Wildfolk florals for any event! read more

First negative Yelp review I have ever felt the need to do. Being a wedding vendor (photographer) myself - this is a first for me (and many others I have spoke with). HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT and UNPROFESSIONAL. We paid Caroline over $15,000.00 for our wedding and she completed 75% of what we agreed upon on her proposal/contract! To name a few: My Grandmother and Mother-in-law didn't have their floral wristlets to walk down the aisle with, the 7 flower girls had ZERO flowe petals to walk down the aisle with, tent floral installation, wreath for our house, floral collar for my dog, my flower crown was falling apart and thrown together at the last minute. My coordinator ended up arranging the last dining table for the reception because Caroline was using it as her work table minutes before the reception. She also used someone that we hired for odds and ends for the wedding day to assist her with her florals. Our separate cocktail tent was supposed to have bud vases, candles, succulents, etc. - she never even ENTERED the cocktail tent. She also forgot a flower crown for my bridal shower that my sister paid for and has yet to hear anything back from her on that. Unfortunately her work is stunning, but Caroline is beyond unprofessional. We have requested reimbursement for all of the items she did not complete and she HAS NOT REPLIED to any emails or calls. It's been over 3 months since our wedding. I would not recommend hiring Wildfolk as you may not get what you agree upon or pay for more importantly. read more

Caroline was amazing. So thankful we go to work with her. Everything turned out perfect. I told her what I wanted/ what we envisioned and she nailed it on the head. Everything was absolutely beautiful. She was professional and responsive and so easy to work with. Caroline made the planning process and the day of the wedding so easy. 10/10 recommend. read more

I contacted Wild Folk to do ONE bouquet and ONE boutonniere for my wedding, which was coming up in a few weeks. I asked for in-season flowers and maybe a peony in my bouquet if they weren't too expensive. (Caroline told me they weren't quite in season yet, so they might be pricey.) I also said that I could pick up the arrangements since I live so close by to save her doing delivery by public transit. I thought that would help control costs. I also asked about including a bottle cap in the boutonniere, since I saw that in her portfolio and liked it. Her portfolio is very creative and she was very responsive with communication. However...I received the following quote: Bridal Bouquet " $200 Boutonniere " $30 Labor " $50 Tax " $14.31 Total " $294.31 Uh...what?? After picking myself off the floor, I politely responded that I had about $100-$150 in mind for this. Instead of saying something like, "Here's what I could do for that price..., " I was told that she could drop the $50 labor fee and "only" charge me $250. Again, for TWO items I thought $100-150 was a pretty reasonable expectation. I want to be clear that it's NOT that I couldn't afford $300, I just thought that for TWO ITEMS that are going to die within a week, that was an OUTRAGEOUS amount of money. The next day, I happened to be near a Winston's Flowers and noted that their bridal bouquets were $100. That's WINSTON'S, people! How are they getting flowers for so much less? I said no thanks, and went to Mahoney's Garden Center in Winchester the day before my wedding where --- for $50--- I bought enough flowers for my bouquet, (which included succulents and a protea) my husband's boutonniere (which I made with the bottle cap) and three small table arrangements. They even let me make the arrangements right there! The flowers were a big hit and no one guessed that I did them myself. So, I'm sure if you have thousands of dollars to spend on flowers, Wild Folk will fulfill your wildest floral dreams. But, if you want to keep things a little closer to reality, this may not be the right place for you. read more

Would recommend?: Without hesitation! Favorite part of working with Wild Folk Studio?: Easy, accommodating, and a memory-making delivery. We met with Caroline over coffee a few months before the wedding to talk about what we were hoping for and to hear what she was thinking. It didn't take us long to feel completely comfortable with what she was planning to do. She sent us some images to demonstrate what she was thinking, and then we were all set! Caroline/Wild Folk Studio was an incredibly accommodating florist. Because we were having a private, early-morning ceremony followed by a larger reception later in the evening, we needed to get the bouquet and boutonnière the day before. She was so helpful in getting us the flowers we needed early, then delivering and setting up for the reception before we arrived - she even delivered extra boutonnières for the evening! It really couldn't have gone more smoothly. As for the actual flowers, arrangements, and set-up: everything was beautiful and stunning! It was exactly what we had hoped for, imagined, and thought about for the months preceding the big day! We are so, so glad that we were lucky enough to work with Caroline at Wild Folk Studio! read more

Simply put, Caroline is the best and did a spectacular job on the florals for our wedding. To me, the flowers were one of the most important aspects of our big day and I knew how critical it would be to partner with a trustworthy vendor who also shared in my vision for the design. From the moment I met Caroline, I knew we were in good hands! Leading up to the wedding, Caroline was extremely communicative and responsive. And when I changed my mind on some aspects of the color scheme and added components a few weeks leading up to the wedding, she was super flexible in making adjustments to the contract. She also visited our venue - twice - with a mock-up of our centerpiece arrangements and to pick up supplies a few days before the wedding. This saved us a ton of time as were maniacs trying to tie up loose ends before the big day. On the wedding day, her team delivered our personal flowers to our hotel and I think I cried when I saw my bouquet. I smile every time I look at the bouquets in our wedding photos - they were just stunning. The reception florals were no different. Caroline created spectacular garland to adorn the balcony at the venue and also for our long head table. She put together a kick-ass escort card display. Every table arrangement was lush and unique. She also set up all our votives and very large candle holders exactly in the way I had envisioned. On top of all this, Caroline is just an absolutely lovely person. My husband and I really enjoyed chatting with her and hearing about her own upcoming wedding plans. Since the wedding, my husband and I have both ordered flowers from Wild Folk Studio several times and we will continue to do so for many years to come! I have no hesitation recommending Caroline and Wild Folk Studio - you will not be disappointed in hiring her! read more

We chose Wild Folk Studio to do our wedding on 9/5/2015 at the Eolia Mansion at Harkness State Park in Waterford, CT. We began planning our wedding over a year prior to the date and Caroline was so helpful throughout the whole process (especially from a bride who constantly emailed her with questions on each detail). As the bride I didn't know exactly what I wanted and Caroline was able to help me with the designs. The color palette was perfect and what we wanted and the flowers were fresh and beautiful the day of our wedding. We had a large bridal party of 7 girls and each bouquet was just the right size. My bouquet as the bride was beautiful and the ribbon she used on each one was a perfect length and color. We asked for a crown for our flower girl and let's just say she looked absolutely adorable. Our pictures came out awesome with the flowers!!! She fit within our budget and from the planning to the day Caroline was personable and professional. She was very responsive and took each concern I had to heart and helped me figure out my vision. Her passion for her work shows in her dedication to perfection. We are so happy we chose Wild Folk Studio!!! read more

There was never any question who we would choose to do the flowers for our wedding. Caroline from Wild Folk Studio was the first person I reached out to after we got engaged. I just couldn't imagine our big day without her stunning work. We knew we wanted a whimsical, romantic, natural feel for our wedding, and her flowers were perfect for that. I met up with Caroline in the evening after work for the first time, and at that point, I was still a bit scattered with all of the details. She really helped me to focus in on my vision, and I walked away from our meeting having a much clearer picture of what I wanted. Caroline followed up after our meeting with a detailed proposal of everything we had talked about along with a vision/inspiration board that perfectly summed up the palette and the feeling of the flowers that we discussed. Caroline and I communicated often throughout the planning process. Our wedding was almost two years after we first met and came up with the initial proposal, so quite a few things changed. She was so flexible and accommodating with the changes that we made towards the end, and updated our contract so that everything reflected our needs. I also had a few last minute crazy ideas, which she was completely open to, but always helped me to focus back to my initial vision. Caroline also helped us pick out really lovely, aged terra-cotta vases along with votives that tied everything together. The day of our wedding, she traveled over two hours to our venue. Our venue was a bit of a challenge to work with, as they only allowed an extremely tight window for vendors to set up. I was blown away with what Caroline and her team accomplished in such a short period of time. There were so many beautiful details throughout our entire venue, greenery and candles on fireplaces, in alcoves and on tables, flowers displayed on welcome signs, our menu board and seating chart. Even a little sprig on every napkin. Simply stunning. And of course, the arrangements and my bouquet were just amazing. Caroline made our neutral color palette come to life, not only with fresh gorgeous blooms, but texture and details to make every arrangement truly unique and elegant. We were told by many of our guests and even our vendors that the flowers were the most beautiful they had ever seen. Caroline is truly a master at what she does and such an artist. She really takes the time to understand her clients, their goals, and the surroundings of the venue to create harmony and pure magic. I also really appreciate her dedication to using in season flowers and to support local vendors. The focus that she has on the details makes a huge impact in her work. I'm excited to say that two of my friends are using Wild Folk Studio for their upcoming weddings, and I will continue to recommend Caroline to anyone I know. read more

Worst communication skills. So unprofessional, takes forever to reply. This is a wedding we're planning, you have to be prompt. Don't expect a fast response to an inquiry. I waited a month and then when she finally responded I had to chase her down asking her if she could still do what she agreed to do and she left me on read. read more

I chose Wild Folk Studio for my wedding on August 30, 2013. I was beyond pleased with the flowers she used and the arrangements she created. Her taste was beautiful as well as fresh and her arrangements were flawless. I started working with Caroline 9 months prior to the wedding. My work schedule didn't allow me to meet with her during the week, so she was flexible in offering to meet me on the weekend. We sat and discussed the details of the wedding, I showed her my Pinterest board as inspiration for what I liked and Caroline took it from there. She gave me a quote within 24 hours of the meeting (unlike the other florist I met who required 2 weeks). She also made a personal Pinterest board for me with her ideas - just to ensure we were on the same page. She not only took my vision into consideration but she made it better - offering arrangements and recommendations that I would not have thought of, otherwise. Not to mention, keeping everything within my budget. As the wedding approached, Caroline was extremely responsive in communication regarding the (many) questions that I had. She was available by both email and phone & she accommodated changes that I threw her way. She was always offering to do more - for example, she helped me choose the table # design. She had an idea to use a succulent as the table # base & then recommended a font type and stock paper to print the table #s on. On the day of the wedding, she arranged them on the tables. She also provided all vases that fit with my color scheme and my vision - searching antique markets for milk glass and adding gold color for an added flare. It was truly customized. On the day of the wedding, Caroline was right on time at the hotel when dropping off bouquets & boutonnieres. She then set up all flowers at the venue. She even offered to come back later that night in order to help break down the tables & gather the vases. All in all, Caroline covered the bouquets, boutonnieres, Mother of the Bride & Grandmother corsages, centerpieces and ceremony décor (mason jars filled with flowers that hung from the outer chairs down the aisle). I have received so many compliments on the flowers - guests were so impressed. I could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding and Caroline truly helped to pull my vision together. She went above and beyond what I could have expected. I would be more than happy to recommend her studio to anyone - she's truly talented. read more

This place rocked! Beautiful flower bouquets and really nice staff. Went through Wild Folk Studio for Valentines Day and my girlfriend was smitten. I will come back to wild folk studio for any future flower needs!! read more

when i got engaged, as soon as we set the date, the FIRST thing i did was email caroline and ask her to do my wedding flowers. i had read an article about her in "boston" magazine earlier that year and knew as soon as saw the pictures of her arrangements that i wanted her to do my wedding. she has a style that is similar to sarah rhyanen of saipua, which is to say that her flowers are dreamy, gorgeous, and look a bit wild, like they were freshly picked that morning. her arrangements are effortless and not at all tight or stuffy -- she combines wildflowers and foraged greenery with lush blooms and unusual textures and shapes. she's a natural talent at what she does. the flowers were really the most important detail to me on our wedding day, and caroline absolutely nailed it. she went above and beyond what i could have ever imagined. we got married at the sinclair in harvard square, and i asked caroline to decorate the entire space, which meant the downstairs reception area, the upstairs dining room area, and the rooftop patio for the ceremony. for the rooftop patio, she created a flower wall (!!!!!!) that was hands down the most beautiful thing i've ever seen anyone do with flowers. it was just wild and lush and stunningly gorgeous. my bridal bouquet was perfection. caroline's assistant hand-delivered it to my while i was getting ready in the hotel (along with the flower petals for our flower girl) and i cried when i laid eyes on it. for the dinner setup, she created a ceiling installation that went above the head table and made the entire place feel just magical. the centerpieces on all of the tables were perfection. she also created a gorgeous garland that went up the stairs from downstairs, where we had the cocktail hour, to upstairs, where we had dinner. it was just magical. every detail was perfect and i could not have asked for a better florist and person to work with. caroline was always extremely responsive every time i emailed her, and she went out of her way to be available whenever i needed her. she came to more than one meeting at the venue where we walked through the space and talked in detail about the vision. she's so passionate and knowledgeable about what she does. she was just a dream to work with and i can't recommend her highly enough! read more

Really thoughtful and creative designers. The arrangement I got was beautiful and special for the occasion and I didn't have to worry about the logistics. Wild Folk took care of the delivery and made sure the beautiful arrangement was there to celebrate the life of a very special person that had passed away. The staff is so helpful and kind and they really put an individual touch to the piece. Definitely using them again! read more

I adored working with Caroline for my wedding. My bouquets, chuppah, and table settings were gorgeous, and so unique.

Caroline was 100% professional, responsive, and talented! The Boston Conservatory was proud to feature Wild Folk Studio as our florist at our annual gala.

Caroline does gorgeous work! I was lucky enough to have her do the flowers for my bridal shower and they added a perfect touch to the evening. I love her use of unique blooms and the effortless look of all her arrangements. She was very receptive to the ideas of a very picky bride, and beyond her talent, she is also an incredibly sweet and warm person to work with. read more
