Every one of our bouquet’s are delivered in a box with clear glass cylinders that is super easy to keep with you during pictures. We do that so they can be easily transported and you can keep them in there between picture stops. We recommend bringing a towel / paper towels to dry off your bouquet’s before getting out to take pics. You can also reuse the glassware and bouquets as centerpieces for your tables!
2. Keep your flowers away from extreme temperatures. Do not have your flowers close to anything too hot or too cold as it will cause your flowers to wilt faster.
3. Keep any bouquets in water until about 30 minutes before your ceremony as they will be wet and may drip water down your dress.
4. If you can store any boutonnieres, corsages, in a cool dark area, even in a refrigerator (towards the front, if it is toward the back it might freeze) if you can anything cold, and dark will help prolong the life of your blooms.
5. When your bouquets are not in use put them back in water, the longer the bouquets are in water the longer they will last.
6.If you have any flowers that are outside in extreme heat, it is best to keep them watered and/or indoors until 30 minutes before the ceremony. (This only applies to outdoor ceremonies in 80 degree and up in full sun.)
7. If you are having a winter wedding try to not have your bouquet outside as much, as the colder temperatures can cause flowers to wilt as well. (This applies to weather that is 32 degrees and below)
8. Just remember water, cool, dark and your flowers should last the entire length you need them for!
How to Properly Hold Your Bouquet
Your wedding day!!! The most exciting, wonderful and much anticipated day of your life - one that you will remember forever! You have so much to think about and so many details! Makeup and hair perfectly done, gown and accessories and the final touch before photos (hint: it’s our favorite part) - your bridal bouquet! You probably haven’t put much thought into how it should be held, but fear not! We have some fabulous tips to make your bouquet-holding experience perfection - resulting in photos picked right from your dream-wedding Pinterest board!
Most brides tend to raise their bouquets up high, but guess what? The real magic happens when you hold it much lower, and boy, does it make a world of difference! It’s natural for brides to hold their bouquets chest-level, when really it should go right at your belly button! Our bridal bouquets are designed based on the overall vision and wedding inspo, varying from a tight and round shape to a cascading, whimsical form! During the floral design process, we often hold the bouquet in front of a mirror to see how it will look when our bride is actually holding it on the big day! Try practicing holding your bouquet in front of the mirror to see just how you want your bouquet to be shown off in pictures and in person!
Now that you have the correct height at which you will hold your bouquet, it's all about the angles! Bouquets are not meant to be held straight up and down, vertically - but actually present and photograph better tilted slightly forward! So as you are walking down the aisle, your bouquet is pointed toward your guests, spouse, and photographer! Walk with confidence and let your beautiful bouquet accentuate the joy of this momentous occasion!

Read moreA Wild Hill Home for the Holidays
As the summer winds down, retailers are already gearing up for the holiday season. You may not be dreaming of a peppermint mocha or putting out a tree yet, but we are already working on our holiday designs. We LOVE decorating for the holidays.
The months of November and December are a time for gathering with family and friends, and our team is prepared to help you create a stunning porch/entry that is certain to be the envy of every neighbor on the block, and our tablescapes, garlands, and fireplace creations will wow all your holiday guests. The best part? We can use your own decor and incorporate fresh greenery, floral.
Porch/Entry Design
The front porch/entry sets the tone for what guests can expect when they enter your home. Holiday porch pots and a wreath are easy ways to add a touch of the holidays to your home. For winter holidays, incorporating a variety of greenery adds texture and depth that is easily accentuated with metallic accents or the colors of your choosing.
Fireplace/Mantle
While you may traditionally think of decorating a mantle for winter holidays, you can also add fresh floral to your hearth to add an extra layer of cozy to your fireside. Don’t have a fireplace or mantle? Delight your guests by adding decorative accents where they least expect it like a bathroom or buffet table.
Tablescapes
During the holidays, the kitchen and the dining table are where guests will gather. Set the mood with fresh greenery accents, candles, or place settings. Consider the height and placement of your arrangements so as not to disrupt the visibility or impede conversation of your guests.
If the idea of decorating your home for the holidays seems daunting, send us a message, we’ll take the reins (reindeer pun intended) to handle it for you.

Colorful Summer Country Club Wedding in Kansas City

Read moreYellowstone Inspired Styled Wedding Shoot
Early this spring our team began dreaming of a whimsical and western two-part styled shoot inspired by Yellowstone and the beautiful growth of springtime! Part one of our shoot took place on the Wild Hill property with some of the sweetest flower shop animals. We then took a trip over to Oakwood Country Club, where Jenni had been dreaming of a dramatic floral installation designed just for this stunning space! We teamed up with the talented, Brigitte Patterson Photography, and a top-notch group of Kansas City vendors (see below for the amazing team) to bring this idea to life. We are so excited to share the images from this special collaboration! Keep scrolling for all the Yellowstone-whimsical-western-wedding inspiration you didn’t know you needed!
For the bridal bouquet we combined ruffly garden roses in shades of pink, mauve and toffee, with butterfly ranunculus, chocolate Queen Anne’s lace, lisianthus and more! The delicate floral details along the bridal gown from Something White Bridal Boutique were the perfect compliment!
Some of our favorite pieces from this day were the little details: from the custom Kemo Sabe Minturn hat with floral details and velvet ribbon wrapped braid by Posh KC, to the calligraphy banner by Yellow Brick Graphics draped over Wild Hill horse, Penny.
It truly wouldn’t be a Wild Hill shoot, without sneaking in some shots of the animals of Wild Hill. If you are looking to incorporate a furry friend on your wedding day, you can be confident that we are ready to adorn them in flowers, whether they are a small Pomeranian or full size horse!
Part two of our shoot at Oakwood Country Club was just as dreamy as our outdoor portion! This dramatic floral installation was designed just for this space to climb down from the balcony of Oakwood and create an organic and whimsical ceremony focal point. If you’ve got a wild idea for your wedding or you want our team to dream one up for you, we are always ready for the challenge!
We can’t thank our vendor team enough for making this dream a reality! See below for the full talented lineup! Interested in learning more about becoming a Wild Hill Bride? Fill out our Wedding Questionnaire by clicking below!

Whimsical Pastel Downtown KC Wedding at The Bardot
Every once in a while a bride comes along with a vision so unique and stunning, we can’t help but pinch ourselves! Sarah’s wedding day was just this sort of one-of-a-kind event! This beautiful day took place at downtown KC wedding venue, The Bardot. Not only was the visual design of the wedding stunning, but this sweet couple included an array of unique experiences to make the day a blast for their guests! From the rooftop cotton candy table to giant marque letters and balloon backdrop, this day was one to remember!
An incredible team of vendors came together to transform The Bardot into a whimsical pastel affair. Keep scrolling to view the A-list vendor team that made Sarah and Zack’s vision a reality!
Shades of pastels filled Sarah and Zack’s wedding day. Sarah incorporated color into every detail including the bridesmaids’ dresses, velvet tablecloths, and of course floral! When we decided on a floral collection for Sarah, our goal was to include a wide variety of whimsical colors and choose from non-traditional flower types. We chose to incorporate dried and fresh florals in an array of textures, sizes and appearances. The result? A romantic, playful and organic wedding floral palette! Some of our favorite blooms of the day included preserved gyp, golden mustard roses, antique carnations, limonium, sweet pea, and scabiosa!
Congrats again to this sweet and stunning couple! It was an honor being a part of your wedding day! XOXO
