We absolutely adored working with Carolyn and her team at Wild Ginger. They did an incredible job with all our florals. For our ceremony, they even designed our 10 ft tall mandap frame. As seen in the pictures, they also create florals for the aisle, table centerpieces, reception stage, and even for the cake!!! They executed our wedding colors and vision perfectly. I especially love their focus on sustainably grown, local flowers. My husband and I are so incredibly grateful for their help. You are in great hands if you chose to trust them with your wedding!
Wild Ginger knocked it out of the park at our wedding! Carolyn sat down with me at the beginning and listened to every random idea, favorite flowers, and out-there concepts, then curated and created the most amazing florals for our wedding! We threw a lot of inspiration at her - from a basketball vase to tomato vines - and Carolyn and the team ran with it. One especially incredible touch was the incorporation of fruits into our reception centerpieces. The inclusion of tomatoes, peaches, grapes, and citrus were stunning... and delicious to our younger guests (our ring bearer ate all the peaches on his table and went on the hunt for more around the reception! ;) The florals were one of the things our guests are still talking about weeks later! Thank you for making our special day so beautiful, memorable, and unique!

If you’re looking for outside-the-ordinary wedding flowers, you’ve found them.
We are farmer-florists creating locally-sourced, sustainably-grown, seasonal floral arrangements for St. Louis-area weddings since 2018.
Our designs are filled with life, color, and movement. We draw our inspiration from the time we spend ‘off the beaten path’ in Midwestern forests and prairies. Each bouquet is rich in the flowers, branches, seedpods, leaves, berries, and vines that embody the season of your wedding and the elegance of the natural world. Many of the varieties we use you won’t find at any other florist. We strive to maintain the natural world with our business practices, which are low-waste and low-emissions, respecting all living things human and otherwise. Designing with native plants holds a special place in our hearts; when it comes to creating elegant, upscale floral designs with them, no one does it better than we do.
Whether it’s an arbor or arch, freestanding floral pillars, a chuppah, altar, or mandap — we love creating floral backdrops for your ceremony. Even better? When we get to hang flowers from the ceiling or float them in water. From hanging cascading garlands and vining greenery to floral chandeliers or floating blooms in a venue's lake, fountain, or pool, we love covering any and every surface at your wedding in flowers.
We love working with couples to bring their wedding flowers vision to life. To get started with your wedding flowers quote, visit www.wildgingerweddings.com/customweddingflowers!
We’re an LGBTQ*-owned, anti-racist business supporting love and liberation.

I'm a farmer-florist with a background in sustainable farming, and I've been growing and arranging flowers for weddings since 2017. I love working with flowers. They mark the rituals that make our lives worth living. Our favorite flowers connect us to our families, our ancestors, our cultural heritage, and each other, and they remind us that we are tied to the land and the seasons. It is such a joy and a privilege for me to help couples mark the celebration of their love with beautiful sustainably- and locally-grown flowers.
