Thank you for Considering Wildside Flowers for your special event. Wildside Flowers is centrally located in historic Petaluma. At the "flower barn" we process the fresh flowers after our early morning visit to the San Francisco Flower Mart and the local flower farms (from Glen Ellen to Monte Rio).

My 20 years experience and familiarity with locations large and small in Sonoma and Napa Counties promises you a stress-free experience.

Over the years I have created my unique style of simple , uncomplicated elegance with a touch of the wild and natural. Berries and tropical leaves, reeds and vines enhance the clusters of roses and garden flowers. My keen sense of color using monochromatic and vibrant complimentary palates has proven to be a most important ingredient to my success as a florist. Starting in the late 90's, a friend and I started a wedding business and worked out of her garage in Glen Ellen. After one month our phones were ringing off the hook and we soon were involved with 2 or three weddings each weekend. While raising a family it was necessary to move the business to my family property in Petaluma and we converted and restored a chicken barn into a colorful, functional and unique space that has the space and ambience necessary to produce the organic, natural yet elegant creations that we are known for.

To clarify basic details and help us with communication, I have included a simple form to fill out. E mailing pictures and files is an excellent way of communication and I encourage you to collect pictures out of magazines and color combinations that appeal to you. Often, colors in nature that are harmonious are terrific tools that help to clarify what palates appeal to us. A visit to a farmer's market or produce stand can be really beneficial!

Taking advantage of my on-site consultation is key in establishing a clear understanding of your wedding floral needs. Even if I have worked at your particular venue 20 times, I find it most important to go over all the details with you and the site coordinator face to face.
After our initial consultation, I e mail you a proposal. After you have decided to go with us, I keep a file with all your e mails and color swatches and you are on the calendar. Two days before your special event, I market for your arrangements. By hand-picking the products I avoid waste, find the best prices, maintain the highest quality, and make the best color choices.

My associates are top quality, free-lance designers whom I have worked with for years. I am involved in all the events and choose to keep my business small and my schedule under control. I am confident that you will be extremely satisfied with your experience with WildSide Flowers.
