Reviews for Wildflowers
GUEST
Exquisite!!! Stunning!!! Beautiful!!! We could not have been more thrilled with our arrangements.. Wildflowers designed and created an elegant mood, for the entire wedding day celebration, with gorgeous florals. Jane at Wildflowers meet with us patiently, four times. (Which isn't easy when the bride(my daughter)changed her mind every time we met.) Needless to say, flexibility, professionalism and KINDNESS is an important part of Wildflowers character. Wildflowers is, by far, the most artistic and creative floral designer in St.Louis. Everyone LOVED the flowers!!!!! Our thanks and gratitude to Jane and everyone at Wildflowers.

Did a great job working with us to figure out which flowers would be the best for our wedding. Thank you!
GUEST
Their flower and decor were absolutely beautiful and added the right touch to my ceremony!
GUEST
Absolutely gorgeous flowers. They did all of the flowers for bridal party, 2 large displays on the alter, 5 centerpieces per table. They all looked wonderful together and the guests loved getting to take flowers and vase home with them.
GUEST
Flowers were beautiful and the service was great. The center peices turned out really nice and all the bouquets were gorgeous. They really took the time to listen to what I wanted and totally delivered!

Jane at Wildflowers worked with me on my wedding flowers at least four times. I couldn't make up my mind, and so she made me at least three to four different estimates. I didn't know how the flowers would look exactly, I just couldn't imagine it myself. Jane, however, could. She is so artistic, and was able to create exactly what I wanted in my floral arrangments. I would recommend her to anyone wanting the most fresh and beautiful flowers for their special day.

The one thing I will say is that the flower arrangements that we had were absolutely beautiful for our wedding. Jane had such an eye for seeing the naturalness and beauty in an outdoor setting and was able to completely convey that in our arrangements, bouquets and centerpieces. We had a large amount of flowers that were to be done that day.
The cons that I have about Wildflowers is their disorganization (as appeared to myself and my mom). We were to have petals down the aisle and someone failed to put the petals down the aisle, along with forgetting to put arrangements on the parlor tables as we requested and was stated in our contract. Along with these two mistakes, we had 3 large centerpieces that were empty cubes sitting in a room filled 1/2 way with water...but no flowers. Also, we requested certain flowers to be included in a buffet arrangement and all flowers were not included.
Again, her arrangements are gorgeous and she does quality work, but the organization as far as accomodating the customer were not there. We were even told that since we didn't use the petals down the aisle she told her workers to put them in a basket and give them to guests to throw as we came back down the aisle... we had bubbles for this purpose and didn't even request the flower petals to be used in this manner! I can only suspect that they were trying to charge us somehow for the rose petals even though they weren't used...
Overall, I'm unsure if I'd use them again. Arrangements were beautiful and breathtaking but not even telling us that they "ran out of flowers" for our centerpieces left a lot to be desired. We found out about this when we walked into the room. At least someone could have told us!
By the way, she had 2 weddings on Friday and 2 weddings on Saturday (mine and another). Maybe get a vendor who will focus solely on your wedding...this is so important as they will tend to pay more attention to the details.
Good luck, my fellow brides :)
Vendor response to review
We at wildflowers were aware of the rose petal issue however, nothing beyond this was expressed to us.
The bride was upstairs the entire time in the bridal room ans was apparently unaware of our keen organization and that a staff of five (5) people were present to set the ceremony inside for her because of the rain, then move it all outside dispite weather forecasts because her father insisted, and then we moved it to another location outside so she wouldn't be standing in a water puddle. Clearly she was unaware of these events, and in no position to judge our abilities regarding this.
Unfortunately in the midst of all of this the petals were not put on the aisle, but were offered to the bride to be thrown by the guests so they would not go to waste. Wildflowers was prepared with willow gathering baskets so the petals could be used this way indoors due to the rain. The bride did not want them and was not charged for the petals or the baskets.
The parlor arrangements were used according to original plan due to changes by the venue.
The table count we were given was inaccurate, and two additional centerpieces were actually needed the day of the wedding. Wildflowers was prepared with extra glassware and flowers, so were were able to complete all of the dinner tables. The bride appears to be unaware of this also.
The empty cube vases with water were no lacking flowers, but placed on the head table to hold the wedding party bouquets. This is a common practice; the bride was informed of the plan and it was also clearly stated under the head table description in the contract.
The requested flowers in the buffet arrangements were unavailable and, as is the practice with all florists, Wildflowers replaced those flowers with flowers of equal or greater value.
All florists book multiple events on the same day, especially when they are rather small affairs, as this wedding was. Once everything, ceremony and dinner, was finally set to go, two very capable members of our staff remained to see the bride down the aisle, while the others went on to service another event. Expecting a florist to book just one small wedding on a Saturday and nothing more is just unrealistic from a business perspective.
Though we regret that this bride was not entirely happy with the service provided by Wildflowers, we feel our level of service was excellent, especially given the disorganization we were presented with when we arrived at the begining of the day. We deeply regret that this bride didn't show us the courtesy of contacting Wildflowers with her concerns, which appear to be many, but instead chose to address these issues in this forum on the internet.
Wildflowers produces amazing flower designs. They are always unique and fabulous. Jane and her team are wonderful, it is always a treat to photograph the beauty they create.
