Growing Wild Floral Co

I just recently used Growing Wild Floral for my wedding and was thoroughly impressed. My vision was to have bright, colorful flowers and Barbara delivered! My flowers were exquisite. I would highly recommend this company to anyone!

There's a very good reason why Barbara and her company Growing Wild have such fantastic reviews on here --- the flowers for our wedding were absolutely fabulous. Barbara was great to work with - she always answers emails promptly and meets with you in person to create exactly what you want. The flowers for our fall wedding were absolutely gorgeous. For the ceremony they even did a decorated arch for us and mason jars on shepherds hooks with matching flowers at the top of the aisle - we got so many compliments on these. I was looking for something more colorful and original than arrangements with only one tone or type of flower - Growing Wild did a fantastic job of providing us with just that. I hired them exclusively based on the Weddingwire reviews and was so glad I did!

Just returned from my daughter's wedding. These flowers were exquisite. The bride's bouquet was just lovely with many different colors and textures. I definitely would recommend them if you like something original and gorgeously different.

I HIGHLY recommend using Growing Wild Floral Company for your wedding. Barbara was so great from the very beginning. She met with us in person and helped us figure out what types of flowers/arrangements would be perfect for our big day. She made the process so easy and so fun! She was very responsive to questions and the service was great. Most importantly her flowers were absolutely beautiful on the day of - every single detail was perfect and better then I could imagine. You would be silly to go with any other company!

Barbara Von Elm did a FABULOUS job for our wedding. The flowers were absolutely beautiful. Everyone complimented them. And she was very flexible -- changing plans and arrangements because of rain at the last minute. Barbara was also just really fun to work with. She's a character -- and made the process very enjoyable for two people who started with ideas but no specific knowledge of flowers. She has a really terrific process to determine which flowers and colors you like, which meant we knew we could really trust her to create arrangements and bouquets we would love.

Barbara is incredible, our flowers were just PERFECT! I had a vision for the wedding, however I was not very well versed on flowers - Barbara walked me through a great process to learn which flowers I liked the best and were in season/in our colors - and then turned my vision into a reality! AND she kept us within budget. Our bouquets were fabulous - a real work of art! Our reception centerpieces were incredible, they were exactly what we wanted!! I received so many compliments through the night on how gorgeous our flowers were. I highly recommend Growing Wild!!

I wasn't very picky about what I wanted for the flowers, and Barbara didn't need much direction. We met for an hour or two and after that she took it from there. The results were exactly what I wanted!

Loved working with Barbara, she understood my vision for the wedding and produced beautiful bouquets, centerpieces and decorations which reflected my vision. She is extremely responsive and professional. She was such a joy and pleasure to work with... she is just a really cool and relaxed woman but at the same time exudes her passion and love for flowers and what she does which for me, not being a flower guru of any sort, brought me great comfort during a sort of stressful planning time! She was worth every penny spent and I am going to recommend her to each and every one of my friends for their upcoming weddings!! You definitely need to call and meet with her because once you meet with her, you will feel comfort in her confidence and knowledge of flowers and experience with weddings and will just instantly know that she is the right florist for you! Highly recommend!

Barbara made the most beautiful flower arrangements for our wedding. She listened to exactly what we wanted, and made them even better than I expected. Very creative and tasteful. She was also delightful to work with, and made the process stress free. Her flowers are a great value - and I highly recommend that you give her what she calls 'flex' to use flowers from her farm. They were so beautiful. I was extremely happy with her services.

Growing Wild Flowers comes with our highest recommendation. We had met with several florists and knew immediately that Barbara was the one for us. The daunting task of picking flowers was made EASY. First we told Barbara what our idea was like, then she showed us all the flowers that she thought we would like. She laid out a general idea and a budget on the spot. We asked her to adjust the budget and we were still able to get everything that we wanted. It was our choice to let her put everything together based on what we talked about. The only thing that we can say about the flowers is PERFECT! We received so many compliments from our guests.We HIGHLY recommend Growing Wild Flowers and Barbara Von Elm.Thanks Barbara!

Barbara was absolutely the BEST!!! Our flowers were EXACTLY as I wanted them (and believe me, I was picky), and Barbara gave us a great deal on the package. She seriously is an amazing value. She is just so incredibly talented and extremely accommodating to your every whim. She's also so pleasant to be around. I met with a couple of other florists and Barbara just instantly gave me a feeling of absolute confidence in her aesthetic and skill. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Barbara, thank you so much for making our wedding so incredibly beautiful, and all within our budget. Your are an artist!!! Your centerpieces were the piece de resistance that made our reception so exquisite. We are still getting compliments from our friends and family. THANK YOU!!!!

Barbara and her team provided the flowers for our August wedding and they by far surpassed my expectations. We did not have a large floral budget and she was able to work with our budget. On the day of the wedding, the centerpieces were stunning, very large and fresh blooms and the bouquets and other wedding party flowers were beautiful.I would highly recommend Barbara - she provides excellent floral design at a very reasonable price.

Barbara is absolutely amazing and worked wonders with our budget and ideas. Our wedding flowers and placement of them in the venue were above and beyond our wildest dreams and better than what we had envisioned and explained and collaborated on during our meetings. Barbara took our discussions and made them 100x better than I ever imagined. She was also so excited to be a part of our wedding day, which was a really nice personal touch that she was so excited to be involved. I would recommend Growing Wild and Barbara very highly to brides not knowing what they want, or those who already have a vision or for other events, and I can't wait to work with her again!

amazing! barbara is fantastic, accommodating, funny, and just what i was hoping for in my flowers! she read my mind. plus, many of her flowers come directly from her garden!

I cannot speak more highly of Barbara of Growing Wild Floral Co. She's extremely friendly, enthusiastic, creative, flexible - she's fantastic to work with! When we met for the consultation, she showed me lots of photos of flowers and arrangements; from this we both got a clear sense of what I liked and what I didn't (I have a strong opinion on flowers apparently!) and that I didn't like much in between. I definitely had a vision of what I liked and she understood that I didn't want to vary much on the vision of my wedding and that I wasn't giving her free artistic and creative reign. She took detailed notes of our conversation and meeting and provided me with a complete proposal. Her pricing was very reasonable, especially compared to other local vendors/florists. After booking her for my wedding, I decided to use her for a few corporate functions (I'm a meeting & event planner) It was nice getting to know her and her work (which is beautiful) prior to our wedding. She was good for me - she "got" all of my visions, and I trusted that she would transform these into reality. I even "let go" a bit - because I came to trust her - trust her and her creativity would translate into the florals being perfect. My husband-to-be even worked with Barbara to create a "surprise" centerpiece for my wedding shower - he's a guy - and not super into flowers and the little details - so she helped him create the most beautiful centerpiece. My wedding 'vision' changed a bit over the months and Barbara was flexible with these changes. We spoke a few days prior to the wedding to make sure we were on the same page. My entire wedding was beautiful and memorable. I could not have been happier. The flowers were gorgeous - everything was perfect - my bouquet, my bridesmaids, corsages, boutonnieres, the shepherd's hooks & mason jars, the reception centerpieces...It was all just so beautiful and fit perfectly with my wedding theme and 'vision.' Thank you Barbara for being such a big part of my memorable day!

After contacting several other florists in the area, a friend recommended Barbara and Growing Wild and I am so glad she did! Barbara was an answer to my prayers, she was so easy to talk to, immediately "got" the vision for my wedding, and is a great value. I loved my wedding flowers, so much more than I ever expected to, I especially loved our bouquets, the ceremony arch arrangement, and the varying reception centerpieces Growing Wild created. Terry delivered our flowers and was so wonderful; I had forgotten my headpiece back home an hour away and, hearing this, Terry went above and beyond and wired together a gorgeous flower piece for my hair that, no joke, was even more beautiful than my original headpiece. Thank you so much, Terry, Barbara, and Growing Wild, you really made my day!

barbara is amazing! she knew after only a few minutes talking with her my style, what i wanted, types of flowers i like. it was crazy. barbara is organized, enthusiastic, down to earth, creative, and a great listener. she is extremely respectful of your budget and will work with you to have great flowers within your budget.i loved that she grows her own flowers, but if you want other types she will order them for you. sometimes barbara will add other elements, such as fruit, greenery, to add dimension and interest. i kept mine very simple, but loved the possibility and creativity.the flowers were absolutely gorgeous! barbara was a great find and i couldn't be happier!

Barbara was fantastic and her work was STUNNING. She did a great job working with our budget, and with our total lack of floral vocabulary - I basically said "here are our colors, we like texture...GO!" And she totally ran with it. Her prices are really reasonable - especially for the chuppah - and the flowers came out beautifully. And on top of that she's fun and personable to work with. I would highly recommend her company to anyone!

I agree with the other reviewers - Barbara & Growing Wild were amazing work with. I actually did not have a specific vision (and we got married in January) so I gave her my budget and then was open to whatever she suggested. All the flowers were wonderful, but my bouquet was my favorite piece - it seriously looked like something out of a magazine. I could not have imagined a more perfect, beautiful arrangement. They were extremely professional and I did not have to do anything on the actual wedding day. Barbara just showed up at my room with the girls' bouquets and corsages and I realized everything else must have already gotten where it needed to go - a huge relief. They also provided flowers for the cake which were SO beautiful, and just the touch it needed.

I really do not see why anyone would want to use any florist but Growing Wild. I had the most fantastic experience- the flowers for my wedding were to-die-for gorgeous and Barbara, the owner of Growing Wild, could not have been more awesome. You know when you meet someone and you just click instantly? This happened with Barbara and I was so relieved. I had a very specific, unique vision for my wedding flowers and I had met with a number of other florists that didn't understand my concept. Barbara not only understood where my head was at, but she was excited about my ideas and provided me with lots of suggestions of types of flowers I hadn't even considered. I was so certain that Barbara understood my plans that I gave her carte blanche for my wedding. I am so glad I did. The bouquets she designed were whimsical and gorgeous; the centerpieces were exactly what I’d envisioned, only better. Everything was bright, cheery and beautiful. Barbara’s work quite literally made my wedding complete. I am so glad that I found her and Growing Wild. I highly recommend them.
