"Jo and her team at Wilder Flowers were BEYOND AMAZING for my July wedding at Holman Ranch! She executed my vision flawlessly, and made it even better and gave me what I wanted even though I couldn't quite put it in exact words. She is truly an artist, and her flowers made my wedding truly unforgettable.
Right from the start, Jo showed that she is extremely thorough, detailed oriented, and a good listener. She very patiently walked me through her plan to keep the flowers fresh in the heat on our very first call -- and deliver she did!
Jo and her team also put together the MOST INCREDIBLE and gorgeous floral installation for my cocktail bar. All I did was show her one picture on Instagram (and only on our second call which was <2 months from the wedding), and she and her team executed it perfectly. The installation was a marvel and the piece de resistance of the entire wedding. This not only speaks to Jo's creative vision, but also to her strong execution capabilities and thoroughness. 1-2 weeks before the wedding, she actually reached out suggesting a flower change due to her understand of flower maturity timelines, and because of this, made what I wanted completely possible in 80 degree weather.
Besides the floral installation, Jo also brought her unique vision to my ceremony flowers. Instead of having uniform flower gardens throughout like at most weddings, she made each flower garden unique, which my guests and I really loved! It is not something you see typically, and made the entire ceremony feel more artistic than a typical wedding ceremony.
She also brought the same artistic touch and execution capabilities to my and my bridesmaid's bouquets. She captured what I wanted perfectly, and even made each bouquet slightly different for variety. These bouquets stayed fresh throughout the day, and even lasted till the next day! It is clear that Jo not only procures the freshest flowers, she also puts a lot of thought and work into keeping them fresh despite the challenges of hot weather.
TLDR - I would highly highly recommend Jo and her team for your wedding. You will not only be well taken care of, you will be pleasantly surprised on the day of!"

We loved working with Jo and the Wilder Flower team for our Sangeet and Wedding. They really are artists with florals, and Jo is a beautiful soul.
From the initial conversation and proposal, Jo was so thoughtful that we were confident that they were the right choice for our floral design.
Not only is Jo really conscientious about sourcing locally and in season, but she was able to visualize and execute two totally different aesthetics for two days of events.
It was important to us to balance high impact florals with something budget friendly for a fairly large event. Jo was extremely understanding of this, and was very open to making any adjustment, large or small, that we needed to strike that balance and feel comfortable with what we were paying for. She was super communicative and willing to work with us.
But ultimately, our favorite part of working with the Wilder Flower team was seeing the vague descriptions and ideas for our florals come to life. I was really focused on building contrasts in textures and colors for the florals, and Jo definitely spoke my language. She was also willing to make suggestions and bring new ideas, which we so appreciated because we absolutely loved her additions! The results were unreal. We had numerous people tell us how absolutely gorgeous and unique our florals were; and they really did feel so special and tailored to us.

As soon as I saw Jo’s floral photos online, I knew she was the florist I needed. Her floral arrangements are unlike those I’ve seen anywhere else, as she doesn’t bunch the flowers tightly and lets each flower have a moment of its own.
I told Jo what colors I wanted, and where I needed flowers, and did not see what they would look like until the day of my wedding. Normally this would have given me anxiety but her portfolio has proven that she can do ANYTHING.
And boy.. I was NOT disappointed. Her florals on our gazebo and photo bus were highlights throughout the evening. People were mesmerized. My bouquet was out of a dream.
I couldn’t find a problem even if I wanted to. Her professionalism and dedication is evident in her work and reviews. If you can get Jo to do your flowers- you won’t be disappointed and your wedding photos will be breathtaking.

My husband and I had to postpone our wedding twice during the pandemic. It was devastating. Lock down happened two weeks before our date which meant all of our vendors and selections were already booked. We weren't sure of the direction the world was heading in so we made the decision to run off to Big Sur and elope with two witnesses.
I searched high and low all over the internet for a florist who would resonate with my vision; someone intuitive, organic, attuned, and grounded. I hoped for flowers that would represent an equally soft and vibrant color palette. I wanted them to feel curated and wild all at once. As soon as I saw Jo's portfolio I knew she would be the perfect fit. She was one of three vendors we hired for the elopement, alongside the photographer and dress designer. Knowing that we had already poured a lot of time and finances into our postponed wedding she did her best to meet our budget and to boot, drove all the way down to Big Sur to hand deliver the bouquet. I'll never forget seeing her just before we jumped in the car to head to the cliffs. She was kind, compassionate, warm, and brought a wave of peace. When I reminisce on one of the best days of my life one of the images that crosses my mind is those flowers. I will never forget those flowers.
