💍Need a Wedding Florist💍

Did you get engaged over the holidays and are now planning a 2025 wedding?

Well, you're in luck! My 2025 books are open, and there is lots of availability, especially for the summer and fall months, which have become the most popular in recent years.

I love working with couples who have a vision for their big day. Helping couples execute their dreams is one of those things that never gets old.

Bring all your ideas to the table. I'll help formulate a plan and custom quote that can bring it all together!

💍It's Your YEAR 2025 Brides💍

It's finally here!! I'm so excited for all the couples getting married this year!

Get inspired by these beautiful bouquets that I've made over the years.

The bridal bouquet is THE most photographed florals of the day, making it the most important piece to design.

I've always loved to create bridal bouquets. The face of the bride when I drop off the bouquet is what I love about creating for weddings. Everyone is so excited and in love with their bouquets!

My opinion on Faux Flowers; here's another round of fightin' words

I don't like them. Yes, they have come a long way, and they look so real blah, blah, blah. I can tell. As a florist, I can tell the difference.

When did they get so popular? They aren't cheaper, only difference is you'll have them forever. But wait you can keep your real ones forever too, preservation is a thing.

I do all real everything, I don't even do dyed Flowers. If it doesn't come in that particular color I find something else that does. It's my style (this also goes back to designer's choice). I do my thing you stress less because I know how to get the desired look.

Give me your opinion in the comments below! ⬇️

Designers Choice is the best options, read why ⬇️

The sky is the limit! When there are no boundaries on varieties, doors open!

Growers are constantly coming out with colors, and more options are available then EVER before.

This lets the creativity fly. You might just end up getting the newest variety. Plus, when drama and abundance are combined magic happens and dreams come true.

So let your florist select the perfect combo for your wedding day, and it you need help 😉 shoot me an inquiry on the website.

Don't make this mistake when reaching out to wedding florists!

Requesting out of season varieties. Peonies, Sweet Pea and Dahlias all have limited seasons and they are all very beautiful of course.

This drives up the cost and if you are wanting a particular style/vibe outside of their season we can always discuss alternatives.

I will never promise any variety that is out of season because of the odds of getting it are slim.

Hey, Y'all . . .

Bit if a PSA. For pretty much the entirety of my business' existence I have gotten the comment/question "Oh you only use wildflowers?! That's so cool."

This assumption is wrong. It's also something I never imagined I would have to explain.

Wildflower Florist was born out of where I grew up. It carried over from my floral design class.

Today, it helps move me along, sometimes. Wildflowers grow where they want, and they thrive at it. This is why I keep trying. To grow when it seems impossible, to grow when environment isn't ideal, to reach my goals even when nothing is going right, to keep trying even though I'm tired.

I use lots of flower varieties, that's what I love. From the biggest sunflowers to the smallest waxflower, I'm not putting myself in a box. My last two weddings were in opposite ends of the spectrum, from full flowers to lots of greenery. I loved both and want to create more.

In the coming weeks, I'm making a change to move forward. A change that will allow me to focus more on the life I want to live and the goals I have for myself and my future.

Hope this gives some clarification and clears up any confusion about what I create.

Alright, y'all! Wedding Expo Inspo

When I decide to show in this particular wedding expo again, I wanted to design something that you haven't seen me do.

The point . . .to show you, the client, what I am looking to create, what my business creates. This will give you an idea if I'm the florist you want to work with. If my vibe is on the same wavelength as yours

Pastels were in my radar, I was really looking forward to spring, but I also adore blue. I'm always trying to find new ways and new flowers that are naturally blue. (Side note: any flower dyed is a no-no for me. It's messy)

I also love greenery. So, doing some research I found this beautiful delicate nest with minimal florals and I was in love.

I can't wait to see everyone in a couple of weekends at the Albany Capital Center. (I'm also doing a raffle, so stop by to get the details).

Hey, Everyone!!! I'm talking about greenery today!

This is my favorite thing to do. I love to create weddings that have an abundance of greenery. The different textures and mixing the colors create a vibe that I love. Plus table garland were something I did that made me feel like I meant to be a Wedding Floral Designer.

A popular myth is that greenery is cheaper than going with flowers. Yes, there are some affordable greens out there, but they are not going to give you the look that you want.

I like to use Italian Ruscus for it length and deep green, either Silver Dollar or Baby Blue Eucalyptus (sometimes I go crazy and use both 😜) for that dusty silver look and occasionally Leather Leaf for adding fullness. I am also constantly doing research to find new and different greens. Sometimes, I get bored using the same combination.

Leave a 🌿 in the comments if you're doing full greenery for your wedding!

What's my design style?

That's the biggest question, right?

I find my exact "style" a bit unique. It's not quite rustic, not quite garden, and not quite classic. I fall somewhere in the middle.
I enjoy using the classics, like roses and carnation, and complementing them with cosmos, peonies, stock, etc. I'm always looking for the next interesting flower and the most unique colors.

I love:
Ceremony pieces, large and small
Unexpected Color Palettes, my absolute fav
Full Bridal Bouquets
Interesting Design Pieces (your venue has an interesting focal point that you would love to decorated with flowers)

⚘️Let's talk about your ceremony⚘️

My obsession at the moment is really gorgeous, ceremony backdrop. Your ceremony starts off all of the wedding day vibes for you and your guests.

Whether it be a Moon Gate, Chuppah, or Grounded Floral Nest, I'm talking about statement making, something that you're gonna look back on and go Damn! That was so awesome, I'm so glad we did that!

❤️Grounded Floral Nests are in. This is usually created by grouping several compotes together. Bonus, they can be moved to the reception. 😉

❤️Aisle Flowers, something I'm seeing everywhere, is where it looks like the flowers are "growing" out of the grass (chef's kiss)

❤️Arch/Arbor/Chuppahs are traditional but easily elevated with the level of abundance, if that's full blooms or mass greenery (personal fav.)

Your ceremony sets the mood/vibe/tone for the entire evening! Save this for later, or send it to a friend!

Looking forward to creating elegance for 2024 brides!

Wish I worked this fast IRL 🤣 Valentine's Day is upon us and the pre-ordered bouquets are officially done! #valentinesday2025 #rosebouquet #bouquets #flowersforvalentinesday

❣️ Tag your Lover ❣️ Let them know where to order you flowers for Valentine's Day! They can even order at the form link in the description 😱, so easy! #flowersforvalentinesday #floristny #flowers #loveisintheair #love #rosebouquet

Here's the ☕️ on Grocery Store flowers I get it. It's convenient for you to just stop on your way home and pick something up. But what you're not seeing is that the bouquet you just picked up has the potential of having sat there for 1 week or more. As someone who solely worked in a grocery store floral department several years ago, I know. It used to drive me crazy because I wanted the best quality for the customers coming in. Me and the grocery store had two totally different mindsets. I remember getting Valentine's Day bouquets at least a week or more in advance; if you're getting your flowers at the grocery store, you're not buying them that far in advance. This is why your local florist or shop might be more expensive. We pride ourselves on being better; better service, better quality, and better options. I've also made it so easy for you to pre-order! You don't even have to pick up the phone (I despise talking on the phone)! Now the order form is linked right on my page 😱, I know soooo convenient! Get your orders in soon! I'm expecting to sell out! #valentinesday2025 #myvalentine #love #rosebouquet #carnations #bemyvalentine #everyonedeservesflowers #supportsmallbusiness

I know this is popular, here's my opinion. . . Repurposing is great when it's done right. Many of your ceremony designs are created in a way that makes this possible, whether it is floral foam, compotes, or foam free. Your aisle arrangements can be used a centerpieces for your guest tables, if you have an arch piece it can be relocated to a sweetheart table, cake table or welcome sign. I recommend NOT using you bridal bouquet or maids bouquets for repurposing. These tend to be away from water for long period of time, making the potential for degrading high. Let's get together to talk about way to reuse your pieces! #wildflowerfloristny #weddings #smallbusinessowner #colorfulweddings #makeithappen #weddingflowers #realflowers #capitalregionny #womenownedbusiness

Haters gonna HATE on this 😜 I can't stand it! 🤍It makes a mess everywhere 🤍I have to buy extra because it's so delicate 🤍I have to buy extra because it's so small 🤍It tangles it's self together Y'all have no idea the behind the scenes when it comes to baby's breath. It's a chore I'm not messin' with! Besides, I like to use other things Waxflower, Alstromeria, Feverfew, Mini Daisy Mums, etc. I find they much more aligned with my design style. #wildflowerfloristny #dreamweddings #cutflowers #creativity #weddingflorist #weddingflowers #mypersonalprofessionalopinion #womenownedbusiness #supportsmallbusiness #babysbreath

The final product. This was one of my first weddings, I was so nervous. There were ups and downs that I had to deal with. I struggled to make the bouquets; I started over the bridal bouquet at least twice. (My perfectionist was showing 🫣) The cosmos were a rainbow of colors; colors that were not in the original game plan. These are just a couple of things, all of which I have to handle. With help from my family, they reminded me to take a breath and turn this as a learning experience. Now I always have backup ideas, always get an extra bunch, and remind myself that nothing is an obstacle that can't be overcome. #womenownedbusiness #smallbusinessowner #smallbusiness #weddingflorist #alwayslearning
