It was such a pleasure working with Growing Wild Floral Company. Lindsay worked with us to meet our design plan. Their locally grown flowers were magnificent flowers, as were the vases, votives, and chuppah. So many people came up to us complimenting us on the flowers, noting how they were perfect for spring and matched our tastes. Each piece was so tastefully done. We especially enjoyed the flowers around and over the chuppah - what a delightful array and fragrance. Thank you for making our day so special. -

We simply can’t say enough how absolutely thrilled we were with the flower arrangements Barbara and her company put together for our wedding. They were beautiful and made every aspect of our day look incredible. From the moment we first spoke to her and she kindly invited us to meet her at her farm, Barbara was fun and easy to work with, asked all the right questions to understand our vision, and then made it a stunning reality. During our first meeting, after she understood what we were looking for and we explained what we liked, she said something like, “If you give me a little leeway, I will make your wedding look gorgeous,” and she absolutely delivered. Everyone who attended and everyone we’ve shown the pictures to has raved about how beautiful the flowers were. She understood the colors I wanted, the looks I liked for the table centerpieces, the arbor, and our cake, and she went out of her way to get my husband a boutonniere that mimicked the look and colors of his favorite flower, the Colorado columbine, since columbines were out of season at the time of our wedding. We’re so happy with how everything turned out!Growing Wild Floral Co's reply:
Hi Allison, am thrilled to hear. Going to plant more columbine this year, just in case someone else must have :-). It was a delight to work with you both.
Warmly,
Barbara -

Gorgeous Late-Summer Floral Arrangments
We hired Growing Wild to do florals for our Sept. 2023 DAR wedding and we were blown away by the service and quality. First, Growing Wild's pricing was reasonable and fair. Second, we had a ton of fun going out to the farm for our initial consultation. Barbara and her daughter are very pleasant and we enjoyed talking to them. One thing that is easy to undervalue when you are planning a wedding but is very helpful is when you trust a vendor enough to give them the flexibility to use their expertise to do something great -- that's how we felt with Growing Wild and the result was incredible. Beautiful white roses, champagne dahlias, sage, etc. arrangements that went perfectly with the venue and bridal party's ensemble. Growing Wild also delivered two three (!) separate urban locations on a busy weekday in the nation's capital. They were awesome!Growing Wild Floral Co's reply:
Thank you Joe for the kind words!
We're so happy to have gotten to work with you on such an elegant and classy event at the DAR. We loved having you out to the farm and are so happy you enjoyed it. Picking your wedding flowers is supposed to be the fun part!
Thank you again and we wish you the best!

Beautiful work!
Going into wedding planning, I knew florals were a priority for me and Barbara and her team brought my big vision to life! I had specific flower requests but I also gave her flexibility and she nailed it! She is knowledgeable about the flowers and she knows what will work in different environments and I so appreciated her guidance through the process. Day of, she was professional, kind and went above and beyond! -

Beautiful and vibrant flowers!
Barbara was so wonderful to work with. After we talked about color, I let her decide what to do and I didn't know what any of the flowers were going to look like until the day of! It was an amazing surprise, and they were the most beautiful flowers. I absolutely recommend Growing Wild and it was so much fun to tell people that the flowers came from the area. Communication was great, and it was easy to trust Barbara which took so much stress off of the planning process.Growing Wild Floral Co's reply:
Oh Stephanie,
It was such a pleasure working with you! We had lots of fun playing with such great colors and enjoyed the flexibility you gave us! What a beautiful wedding!

Wonderful florist
Working with Barbara was very easy. We were able to give her a vision for the wedding and she followed through in bringing it to life. The whole team was very professional to work with and extremely reliable. They overperformed with all of the flowers and created an absolutely beautiful environment. Could not believe how spectacular the whole event came out to be, would greatly recommend to anyone!Growing Wild Floral Co's reply:
Hey there Ms. Crysal,
Am delighted to hear. It was fun working with you.
Wishing you both the best.
Warmly,

You will not find better
Barbara is fun, down to earth, and incredibly talented. I had absolutely no idea what I wanted, except for not white roses. Barbara was so patient with us, inviting us out to her beautiful farm, showing us countless photos so we could identify what we did and didn't like, adn ultimately gave her free rein to make us something spectacular, and she delivered! -

Barbara is the best! She really understood in such a short period of time which color scheme worked best and found the best arrangements to accompany it. Being able to go to her flower farm and see how she grows them was very special. Would recommend it 10/10! -

Erin N. Sent on 02/10/2023Beautiful, Perfect Floral Arrangements
Barbara created the perfect floral arrangements for our September wedding and I highly recommend her work! We were able to visit her flower farm in Delaplane where she grows so many of the actual flowers used in her arrangements, which I thought was really unique and special (and as a fun bonus, we loved meeting her sweet dogs!). She took the time to really get to know us and our general preferences. We aren't particularly knowledgeable about floral details, so we came in with some photos of our overall vision and then deferred to her expert background to get creative. Not only is she incredibly down-to-earth, but she's so, so talented. When I walked into the venue before the guests arrived, I was blown away at how beautiful the flowers were. It was wonderful working with Barbara and we got so many compliments on the flowers - they were truly perfect. I highly recommend you work with Barbara for any of your floral arrangement needs! -

Barbara is a genius, and we can’t recommend Growing Wild strongly enough! Going into our planning meetings with her, we hadn’t developed concrete ideas for what kinds of flowers we wanted to have at our wedding. Barbara really took the time to get to know us and came up with ideas for amazing displays that we’ll remember for the rest of our lives. Most impressively, she grew many of these beautiful flowers herself on her farm in Delaplane, which also means she’s more affordable than many other vendors who have to buy their flowers–you end up with more flowers for your money. We got so many compliments on the flowers, maybe more than any other part of the wedding! -

I loved visiting Barbara's flower farm and seeing her gardens. She was a joy to work with and listened well to what I was picturing for the wedding day. Her flower selections and colors were gorgoues and the arrragements were absolutely beautiful. I'm so happy I got to work with her and highly recommend Growing Wild Floral Co! -

We had the most beautiful floral arrangement for our wedding from Barbara. She met with us ahead of time to discuss my vision for the wedding and incorporated a stunning arrangement of dahlias and roses. We received so many compliments on our bouquets, table arrangements, and the floral arch. Would highly recommend! -

Barbara made my flower dreams come true! She met with me several times to discuss exactly what I wanted and was very easy to communicate. The florals were even more amazing than I could have imagined. My guests were talking about the flowers for days after! -

Working with Barbara is an unforgettable experience unto itself. She invited us to come visit the farm in VA so we could see where the flowers are grown and we got to meet her and her friendly dogs. When discussing our plans for flowers, her inspiration and enthusiasm were contagious and made me so excited and confident that they would be awesome. And boy did she deliver--our floral arrangements were gorgeous and luscious and so much better than I could have imagined! One of the best wedding decisions we made! -

Brought Our Vision to Life
Barbara and Growing Wild Floral were wonderful to work with in the lead-up to our wedding and the final product on our wedding day was totally breathtaking. After talking and meeting with Barbara a number of times, including going out to visit her flower farm in VA, we had high hopes for how everything would come together on our wedding day. Even still, the final product blew us away and totally exceeded even our expectations. Barbara was able to listen to our vision and then use her own creativity (and availability of flowers on her farm) to bring it to life and knocked it out of the park. We cannot recommend her and her team highly enough as a part of your wedding day! -

Beautiful flowers
Barbara was so wonderful throughout our wedding planning process. We had to postpone and downsize our wedding drastically due to COVID, and Barbara was extremely flexible with us. She even delivered beautiful flowers (that had already been ordered for our March 2020 wedding) to our apartment at the beginning of the pandemic. She worked with us to decrease our order for our much smaller 2021 wedding and did amazing work on all the bouquets and arrangements. The flowers were gorgeous and we were amazed by how wonderful everything looked. We were so happy to have been able to work with Barbara for our wedding. -

Wonderful Experience
We *loved* working with Barbara! Barbara listened to what we wanted, and helped us stay in budget. I had been turned off by other florists who kept trying to "upsell" flowers, but Barbara really listened to what we wanted and was wonderfully flexible. A few weeks before the wedding we got to visit her farm and pick the flowers and colors we wanted from her fields. We loved that we were able to source some local flowers for our wedding. For some added whimsy, Barbara clandestinely worked with my mom who wanted to surprise me with some extra arrangements -- Barbara's discretion led to a wonderful surprise on our wedding day, and truly beautiful arrangements. She is a true artist! -

Both my sister and I both used growing wild for our weddings. I got so many complements on our flowers - we used a lot of color and Barbara helped us pick our colors based on the dress color for the bridesmaids. I didn't have really specific ideas on what I wanted so I let her do a lot of what she wanted - which we were both happy with! I couldn't have been happier with how all the flowers turned out! -

Barbara is truly a class act and is, unsurprisingly, phenomenal at her job. She was responsive, creative, easy to work with, affordable, prompt, and everything else you could ever want. At times it was like she could read our mind in knowing what it was that we wanted! Truly cannot recommend her enough to anyone in the D.C. or Northern Virginia area. Growing Wild is as good as they come! -

Wow, I was so happy with the flowers that Barbara selected and put together for our wedding. The arrangements were beautiful!! It well exceeded my expectations. Barbara is great to work with as well. We gave her some colors and ideas, but she said trust her, and it paid off! She also grows a lot of her flowers, and we really loved that the flowers were local to the area as much as possible. -

Barbara is a genius. Her work is incredible. The best thing I did was to give her our color palette and let her work her magic. She is a true experienced professional who has such a passion for what she does. If you can give her some creative freedom to do what she does best, she won’t disappoint. She came highly recommended from a friend and I recommend her just as highly. -

Audrey Sent on 02/28/2020Incredible!
Amazing service. Barbara is the absolute best. From the very first consult through the day of the wedding, Barbara ensured she zeroed in on our vision of the event. I'm not at all a flower or plant expert, nor did I have a Pinterest vision board of what I envisioned. Fear not! Barbara had tons of photos at the ready, organized by color and was able to give my fiance and I candid comments on which flowers were seasonally appropriate (I got married in mid-February), which flowers were within our budget (AWESOME), and which ones matched our overall vibe (classy, with a bit of funk). She also asked for some trust to design the bouquets, and I'm so so happy with how they all looked. They were amazing!
Set-up and tear down during the wedding was also amazing. Her staff arrived right on time, set up the centerpieces and the chupah beautifully, and then arrived later that evening to tear everything down. Our guests kept telling us how beautiful everything looked, and we know Growing Wild played a big part of that!
Lastly - Barbara will absolutely work with your budget! We were so appeciative of this last bit!
Passing on all our thanks to Barbara and the Growing Wild team. We'd consider using them for another event in a heartbeat. -

Growing Wild is fantastic - I don't know much about flowers at all, but between asking plenty of questions about the general vision for our wedding and sharing Pinterest photos, Barbara really hit the nail on the head! She worked within our budget and I love that she grows her own flowers. Everything turned out beautifully and wintry (as we hoped!) and I'm still getting compliments on my bouquet months later. Highly recommend! -
