Walter Knoll did SUCH a great job. They were extremely affordable compared to other florists we looked at, and also didn’t have a minimum order price. Since we only did handhelds and some wholesale greenery, but they still gave me the attention and treated me as if I had ordered $10k worth of flowers. I’ve always ordered from them for other occasions, and will continue to do so after a great wedding experience.
I cannot sing high enough praises for WKF and the bridal team. We worked with Sunny and she made my inspiration pictures a reality. The design of our center pieces, my bouquet, and the florals for our arbor were outstanding. She helped to make sure everything was set up how we discussed, answered all of our questions and helped make our wedding even better. We also worked with Cheyenne the day of as she helped with setting everything up! Both were outstanding to work with, our flowers were amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with WKF!
We had not yet picked a florist for my daughter’s wedding but were in the midst of deciding on the design for her reception. We are from Kansas City but the wedding was in St Louis so I had no experience with florists in STL.
After viewing the venue reception space, I really wanted to use some live trees to offset some areas. We searched online for rental trees and I came across Walter Knoll Florists. I called and spoke with David Knoll who oversees the landscaping side of WKF. He invited my daughter and I in and helped us choose which rental trees would best provide the look we wanted. They have many more choices in person than they even list online. David made this so easy and enjoyable, it was the most fun thing my daughter and I had done for the wedding up to that point.
Once we decided on the trees, David suggested that we go to the floral storefront and meet with one of their designers to see if WKF could provide all of our florals. We made the drive and I am so happy that we did!
We met with Cheyenne Narup who did become our wedding floral designer. She is extraordinarily talented. We brought some inspiration photos and she made suggestions for replacements for some flower types that were ridiculously expensive – so much so that they could not recommend using them. The replacements she chose were so much better than what we had originally pictured. Cheyenne knows what she is doing and it shows in everything she does and in the way she communicates. Cheyenne heard from me all through the wedding planning process and responded in the most timely manner and answered all of my questions with kindness.
Because of Cheyenne, we booked WKF for all of our florals almost immediately. We were all set and then the bride changed her mind about what she wanted the florals on the alter columns to look like and Cheyenne had to start over on those in the proposal. Cheyenne took this all in stride and gave us the designs we were looking for (and I had to tell my daughter to stay off of Pinterest).
On the wedding day, WKF showed up with the trees as scheduled and placed them for us. The came back after the reception (11 pm) and picked them up as we could not keep any décor in the venue overnight). Cheyenne came in with an assistant and together they set up all of the florals. There were a lot and they absolutely nailed it. The florals enhanced the space everywhere they were placed. We received so many complements on the florals. They were so beautiful; I still tear up when I see the pictures.
Please consider Walter Knoll Florists for your wedding or next event. They will put everything they have into making the florals for your event what you want, perfectly.
They were incredibly professional, however I had to be mindful of the details I’d given them. Through different revisions of our florals, I caught a couple of mistakes. I really enjoyed the outcome of my bouquet and centerpieces, however the arbor for the ceremony did not quite turn out as expected/discussed.
My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with Walter Knoll for the floral arrangements for our wedding ceremony and reception! We were impressed by grandeur they were able to produce for us. The team was professional throughout the process and the delivery and set-up was on-time. We also thought the price was reasonable for the value provided and we would recommend them to a friend!
We only have one word to describe our experience with Walter Knoll Florist for our wedding…..Spectacular!!! From the first message I sent to the consultation with Sunny, she helped me bring my vision for our wedding to life and she nailed it! The proposal, the final review in person with Sunny, she even came to the church before the wedding day to meet us and go over everything! She was amazing and when I saw the flowers on the day of our wedding….Wow! The bouquets, the alter flowers, the centerpieces, everything was beautiful!! They were exactly as we had envisioned and just spectacular! Sunny was so friendly, professional, caring and answered a million and one questions and we were so blessed to have her expertise! The day of the wedding there were unforeseen delays with the ceremony and her and her staff adapted and were so professional. The arrangements at the reception venue were just beautiful and we could not have been more pleased! We highly recommend Walter Knoll Florist!
The wedding and events department was so incredibly easy to work with. You are in good hands design-wise. We used them for a surprise 50th anniversary, gave them the colors and some flowers we liked, and they made stunning arrangements. Highly recommend.
My husband and I hosted two weddings back to back, May 2022 and June 2023. We were thrilled with Sue from Walter Knoll and her design team. After meeting with Sue, we knew she would bring our vision to life. We wanted to be sure the weddings had their own personalities. Both my daughters had their own vision and Sue made sure this came to life. The Walter Knoll design team is very creative and provided stress free service. We are very happy we choose Walter Knoll as our florist.
My husband just asked me what I got the most compliments on at our daughter’s wedding on 3-18-23 and without a doubt the beautiful florals, bouquets, boutonnières. Not only were they gorgeous in color, perfect in that they weren’t “too much” but “just right”, their fragrance made them noticeable and memorable. They were gorgeous!
So many compliments.
Thank you to Tina and your team for executing exactly our vision and it was even better than we could imagine.

Using Walter Knoll for our florals was an easy choice! My sisters both used Walter Knoll for their weddings and both times they did an amazing job. During our consultation meeting, Sue showed us different options and all of our pieces matched our winter theme perfectly for the big day! I was so happy when I saw the bouquets with the girls’ dresses and the arrangements they created for the ceremony/reception were absolutely beautiful! I can’t recommend them enough!
The florists at WKF did an amazing job on my bridal and bridesmaids bouquets. They were willing to customize to my price range while keeping my vision in mind. I was blown away by the final product!
This is our 2nd daughter to get married and use Walter Knoll florist. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous. Everything was exactly as we planned. Sue at WKF was great to work with.
Walter Knoll was a fantastic florist for us and at such a great deal for real flowers. Working with Sunny was super easy and she knew exactly what we needed. We were also able to come in and talk with her in person to look through everything before the final payment and go through the details. It really helped take the stress off of us for the day and we knew we would have quality flowers. We thought they all turned at great and I know that they will look perfect in pictures. Highly recommend!
We got quotes on similar florals from other vendors for much higher prices, so we definitely got a great deal. The flowers were lovely and everything I could've wanted. Our coordinator was available to take delivery which was helpful, and she also was able to transport certain arrangements to our venue.
I had a great experience working with Sue! She had great communication and very helpful with deciding which flowers to use. Day of, everything looked beautiful!! We could not have been happier!
Some pros and cons here. Pros were for sure the flexibility on the contract up until the last moment for the flower needs and such. I also loved the color choices they provided, everyone really noticed how well the bouquets went with everything and how well the lady's flowers held up overall!! My first issue would be the lack of communication days before and on the day of the event.. I wasn't quite sure when the flowers were arriving to the venue. If it wasn't for one of my bridesmaid having other means of contact with the florist, I would have been in more of a panic than I was that day. Second.... unfortunately some flowers on the men's boutonnieres were dead, and again if it wasn't for our green-thumbed bridesmaid, they would have been useless for the ceremony. She was able to trim away the dead pieces. Then.. after only a couple hours of use, pretty much every boutonniere was dead and discolored and had to be removed for all photos for the majority of the day. Very disappointed in that aspect. Pricing was fair, but not the quality I really wanted in the end! Thankfully my bridal bouquet held up and I was able to preserve it.
Couldn't be more thrilled with how the flowers at our wedding turned out - from my bouquet to the flowers on the pews to our centerpieces at the reception, everything was just perfect! The flowers were just breathtaking and exactly what I had envisioned - we received so many compliments on them!
Sue is so knowledgeable and was such a delight to work with.
We are so glad we chose Walter Knoll Florist for our wedding and highly recommend them for anyone in search of a florist - you will be blown away by the results!
This is a wonderful vendor to work with! My only critique is that some of the flowers in our altar arrangements weren’t quite as expected but it still coordinated with our overall look.
Our wedding flowers were to die for!! Walter Knoll came highly recommended by my sister and brother-in-law. Sue was wonderful to work with and so patient with me as I changed my mind at least 100 times over the course of our 1 year engagement. We received so many compliments on our wedding flowers.
Best in the 314! Go see Sue for all your wedding needs. Our wedding flowers were perfect! Sue looked at photos of my dress, our venue, etc. and developed ideas that would compliment our vision. The outcome exceeded our expectations! Also, the delivery and payment process was flawless making our floral wedding "to do" list effortless. We just returned from our Honeymoon & my bouquet (in the fridge, of course) is still is beautiful shape! Highly recommend WKF!
So easy to work with - professional, responsive, and reasonably priced. COVID shifted our wedding date and how many tables we could have etc and they were very accommodating even up until the last few weeks. I brought in a Pinterest picture of a bridal bouquet, thinking it was too picture perfect to be replicated, but Sue took one look and was able to mimic it exactly for me with very little effort! Their bouquets were GORGEOUS, and they use fresh high quality flowers, which were blooming for days after the wedding!
I chose Walter Knoll for my wedding flowers after looking around at a few different florists. Walter Knoll had the best prices and the most experience. I worked with Sue, Tina, and Sunny and while it's hard to know what the final flowers will look like, they did a great job and I was very happy with my flowers.
Walter Knoll did everything perfect for our wedding day! Sue was so easy to work with and was so attentive to detail. Our flowers arrived on time on the wedding day and were absolutely gorgeous! I cannot recommend them enough for your wedding!
It's no wonder Walter Knolls has been in business FOREVER! Working with Sue L at Walter Knolls was amazing. Our first meeting she took the future bride through the ginormous flower coolers and told her to pick out anything that caught her eye. She then put together the most beautiful bouquet right in front of our very eyes. She has a strong attention to detail even after postponing for an entire year Sue was right on top of our order. We had several changes during the last month and Sue was so very patient and kind every time I called or emailed. She usually responded immediately or with 24 hours. We had 3 style of flowers on the tables along with a beautiful mantel piece, and they were all absolutely gorgeous. Sunny and Kevin did an amazing job of artistically decorating the venue. The brides and bridesmaids bouquets were exactly what the bride wanted. I unequivocally recommend this company!
Flowers were pretty and delivered on time. The disappointing part was that I delivered some special items (from two grandmothers who passed away just months before the wedding) to be incorporated into the bridal bouquet, as was agreed upon. The items were not included in the bouquet, which was very disappointing, and of course we didn't know until it was too late to do anything about it. Sue was very apologetic and overall I liked working with her. However, it seems like they lost the ability to focus on an individual bride's needs. Maybe they are just too big. I would choose a different florist if I had to do it again.
Sue was so easy and great to work with! Everything went so smoothly and our flowers turned out beautiful- I couldn’t have asked for a more gorgeous bouquet!
I had an average experience with Walter Knoll as my wedding florist. I had a very specific photo of what I wanted (and paid for) for my centerpiece (the one attached that has the candles lit and the white blooms in it) and the other photo attached (totally different design, no blooms, basically just leaves laid down) is what I got on the day of my wedding. We called them 3 hours ahead of the wedding to let them know there must have been an error, but they did not fix anything. In fact, my photographer ended up taking some flowers from our wedding venue site to the reception to add them to our centerpieces to try to make them not look like stems had just been laid down on plates.....Also, I emailed them 2.5 weeks before the wedding to let them know we had less people
coming and needed less tables so we over paid on centerpieces by several tables and they told me I had missed the 3 week mark for when they order flowers so it was too late to get money back - which I totally understand, but it would have been nice if they had made us aware of that and checked in with us before making the order since we planned this wedding/numbers pre Covid. However, I do think they did a good job with the bouquets. To be honest, if I could do it over, I would select someone else.
The flowers were absolutely beautiful! During our first consultation, I was so pleased with the service we got that I didn’t want to go anywhere else! You worked with the wedding consultant and she made a mini version of what your bouquet will look like right in front of you and you get to keep it! Everything got delivered just as it was expected too! Thank you to everyone at Walter Knoll!
Highly recommend!
I did not want a ton of flowers for our wedding. I wanted more succulents and greenery and Walter Knoll delivered! We showed Sue what we envisioned and we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. We had to move our wedding up day early due to covid - they worked with us without hesitation.
Cannot say enough good things about Paula and all of Walter Knoll Florist. They were there every step of the way when the pandemic hit. They even delivered two bouquets for our virtual wedding with just hours in advance. Paula at the O’Fallon location helped us problem solve for months in order to make our day come true. The flowers at our wedding were amazing and I had so many compliments. If you are considering using them for your event - JUST DO IT! You won’t regret a thing.
Sue and her team were absolutely incredible! From our initial consultation, we were so impressed by their attention to detail, professionalism and expert guidance. Throughout the process, even when we had to postpone and replan our wedding due to COVID, Sue's calming and reassuring presence was exactly what we needed during such an unsettling time. She completely nailed my vision, and our flowers turned out so beautiful! Highly, highly recommend WKF!
After having trouble with another local florist, I decided to call Sue at Walter Knoll and I am so glad that I did. From our initial consult (over the phone due to COVID), to the moment I first saw our bouquets I was very impressed! I had a vision of what I wanted my flowers to look like and Sue helped make that vision come to life. Not only did the flowers look beautiful the day of our wedding, they are still beautiful 2 weeks later! So impressed and so glad I was able to have Walter Knoll arrange my wedding flowers!
10/10 Walter Knoll is incredible. I had consultations with a few other florists, but Walter Knoll blew them away. Tina took me through the big warehouse and made my visions come to life for my bouquet, and that was before we hired Walter Knoll! I was so thankful to have such peace of mind after our thorough consultation, and our flowers were absolutely perfect on the big day. I also asked Tina to incorporate some beads and fabric from my mom's dress, and she did beautifully!
We had our wedding on 10/12/19 and used Walter Knoll for our flowers. To say they did an incredible job is an understatement, they did a OUTSTANDING job and we received so many compliments on our flowers and still are 6 months later! We worked with Judy and she is the sweetest and friendliest person. She let me share my vision of what I wanted and made it even more beautiful that I imagined. She made sure closer to our wedding that we had everything we needed and made it so easy. I would recommend the blue bom orchids, they were a hit at our wedding!
Our wedding flowers were stunning! Lindsey was so kind and knowledgeable in our flower consultation and made our vision come to life. She took her time listening and put together a bouquet at the consultation for us to take home. Sue made all communication seamless and made me feel so at ease. The entire WKF team took care of the delivery and set-up of flowers for our wedding day without us having a worry in the world. They went above and beyond and didn't skip a bit on the little details. I would choose WKF for any floral needs again in a heartbeat!
I would not have gone anywhere else for my wedding flowers. They are unbelievably kind and knowledgeable. Sunny was amazing to work with and answered all of our questions right away! Not to mention she is very sweet and friendly. They let us walk through the coolers and pick out flowers that we thought were beautiful and they made a mock-bouquet for us to see and take home! They are affordable, service is top notch, and the decor at my wedding was beautiful. I will use Walter Knoll forever. They are a 10/10 and I can't say enough good things!
Sue was so helpful in bringing my wedding bouquet, bridesmaid bouquet, and boutonnière vision to life for our November 2019 wedding! She also helped us stay within our budget. Everything was beautiful and I never had to worry about how things were going to turn out. Thank you, Walter Knoll, for helping make our wedding day so beautiful!
Fantastic work at affordable rates! They went above and beyond my expectations and put up with me changing the order several times. Highly recommend to any bride!
Beautiful flowers, amazing set up! My flowers were gorgeous. They lasted well over a week after the wedding. They smelled and look great! Great customer service. Highly recommend!
Walter Knoll’s staff were excellent to work with. They were kind, efficient, and extremely helpful. They made sure to make our floral arrangements and bouquets exactly how I envisioned them. I would recommend them to anyone!
Worked with Sue Lueken for my wedding flowers and they were such a stunning showstopper! I wish I could attach a picture. Sue was so great to work with, I loved her ideas to enhance my vision, easy to work with, the price was great, and all the flowers were stunning! I am recommending Walter Knoll Florist to everyone!
Walter Knoll was absolutely amazing. We worked with Sue at the Lasalle location and she truly brought our vision to life. Her and her team were incredible and made the process so easy, fun and enjoyable. I highly recommend Walter Knoll to any St. Louis bride, especially working with Sue, she is the best!
My wedding was September 28 and we worked with Sue throughout the entire process for our flowers. She was EXCELLENT. All of the flowers turned out exactly how I had dreamed. She went above and beyond for us. Cannot recommend enough.
The flowers came in pristine condition, and the florist Judy was patient and informative to help us with our flower selection -- my husband is a horticulturalist, and even he was blown away with her knowledge! An absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish, and worth every penny!
WOW is all I can say!
Sue and Walter Knoll were just the best ever! Sue went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, flowed smoothly, and was flexible to work with. She made our day so stress free and our bouquets and centerpieces were absolutely BEAUTIFUL! We had so many compliments on how amazing everything looked. They can really do just about anything you are looking for and there is no reason to go anywhere else!
We worked with Mrs. Judy in the south county location. From day 1 , she was so sweet and so personable. Mrs. Judy was given our flower choices and pictures were submitted for her to reference. We had a few changes along the way and Judy handled it so well. The day of they delivered our flowers on time and looking just as we had envisioned! Highly recommend this location and Mrs .Judy!!
Walter Knoll was amazing when it came to working with my vision and my price range and came up with a beautiful and affordable option. They were incredibly responsive and communicated with me so well. In our initial visit, they even made a bouquet for me based on what I said I liked to get a better feel for what the bouquets would look like along with what I did and did not want. They are true professionals and I'd recommend them to any bride!
The flowers looked great and Judy was amazing to work with.
We got so many compliments about our wedding flowers. The bouquets and boutonnieres were perfect and better than I could have imagined. Walter Knoll’s wedding specialists were very helpful and easy to work with. It was so much fun walking through the large flower coolers, choosing flowers and having them arranged right before my eyes. The flowers arrived on time and in good condition. So pleased with the whole floral experience.
My husband and I won a contest through WKF for $500 towards our wedding flowers. Our budget was so tight that we weren't even going to do flowers until we won the contest. Before going in, we were afraid they $500 wouldn't go very far and that there might be some hidden minimums we'd have to reach on top of the free amount. Boy, were we wrong! Sue worked with us and asked us what our dream wedding would look like flower-wise and then made that dream come true within our budget! I loved the look of greenery and white florals, so she suggested buying the eucalyptus wholesale and picking it up the day before the wedding to save money, and then she was able to create a cascading bouquet for me, 6 lovely bouquets for my girls, boutonnieres for the guys, corsages for the mothers AND two very large ceremony pieces all within budget. They were so accommodating, educational and kind. We couldn't recommend them enough!
I highly recommend Walter Knoll if you're thinking about them for flowers. The experience (and flowers) they provide are amazing! Everything was flawless and we couldn't have been happier with how our flowers turned out!
We worked with Judy for our flowers and those at Walter Knoll did amazing!! Our flowers we absolutely beautiful and turned out better than I could have expected! They were incredibly easy to work with and so nice. Our wedding was the weekend of the HUGE snowstorm in STL and they made sure our flowers were ready to go and got them to the hotel the day before to make sure we had them in time. Wonderful experience and would use them again in a heartbeat!
Linda Stapleton from their Ladue location is wonderful! I worked with her from start to finish. She blew me away at our consultation when she took me into their cooler to show me the different types and textures of flowers I had available. She even made me a test bouquet that day to take home so I could see my vision in person. On the wedding day she arrived right on time and gave my photographer plenty of loose florals for the detail shots. All the centerpieces looked great and the wedding arch was stunning. I adored my bouquet as well! Linda helped me create my floral arrangements while maintaining my budget. If you're looking for a great florist you've found them!
I loved my flowers for my wedding! I had an idea for my bouquet and Tina did a great job of building on it and making it come to life! The bridesmaids’ bouquets, boutonnières and corsages all turned out beautifully and complemented my bouquet very well. Thanks for the great experience!
The staff was great to work and the flowers were beautiful. I would say that you should make sure that you show them exact photos of what you are looking for or ask for a sample to be made, if it is a little extra just do it. Also i would make sure that you discuss sizes while there. Our flower were beautiful and i am NOT dissapointed, but they were a little off on the colors not as organic/whimsy as i would have liked and the table top arrangements were rather small .
This may sound bad but the flowere really were beautful!
Our flowers were absolutely perfect from Walter Knoll. They were even more beautiful that I could have imagined. Sue was so sweet and very thorough during our initial consultation, and everyone at Walter Knoll was so helpful in communicating since we planned our wedding from out of town. I wouldn’t change a single thing about our flowers, and I would choose them again in a heartbeat.
Sue at Walter Knoll was so great to work with! I was planning my wedding from out of town, so that made the flower piece a little more challenging since it's a little easier to do that type of thing and show your vision for flowers in person. But Sue was extremely accommodating and would see us whenever we were in town even if she was busy! She also helped us come up with options that helped us meet our budget that didn't compromise on what we wanted for our flowers. And wow, my bouquet was GORGEOUS. I wish I could have something like it every day. And I changed my mind SO many times during the process, but Sue was so patient with me through it all. We were so incredibly happy with our choice and everything looked just beautiful!
I was planning on doing my own flowers because I was under the impression it would cost a fortune to hire a florist, but my mom had me go look at Walter Knoll just in case. I was blown away with how affordable they were and the fact that they rolled out the red carpet to let us look throughout their whole selection in the cooler! Susan ultimately gave me EXACTLY what I wanted (I was quite particular) and I got so many compliments all day.
We loved our wedding flowers! Everything was beautiful. Thank you Sue!
Shout out to Linda from WKF in Ladue on the gorgeous flowers. She is a fabulous designer. My daughter had an outdoor wedding at the Duck Club/Yacht Club on the Mississippi River. She wanted to incorporate driftwood into the centerpieces. Linda exceeded our expectations. We worked the flower arrangements and candles between the driftwood pieces. The result was breathtakingly beautiful. Also, one of the most stunning pieces was the flower curtain arbor for picture taking opportunities while the sunset over the Mississippi River. It was magical.
