Floral design & event stylingLake Verity, Alder County

Flowers for the dayyou'll remember.

Full-service floral design for weddings and events in the mountains — ceremony installations, tablescapes and personals, designed for alpine light and lakefront air.

Our studio

We design with the season, the light, and the lake in front of you.

Wildthorn is a small studio working almost entirely in the mountains. We build loose, garden-gathered arrangements that look grown rather than assembled — soft blush and cream, deep greens, a warm terracotta note when the season allows.

Most of our couples plan from somewhere else entirely. We are used to that: clear proposals, honest photographs, and a team already known to the venues and planners here.

Destination weddings

Most of our couples book sight unseen

Planning a mountain wedding from another state is normal here. Our process is built for it — thorough, visual and specific, so the day you imagine and the day you get are the same one.

Planning from anywhere

Video consultations, shared mood boards and a photographic proposal mean you can book confidently without seeing the studio. We keep everything in writing so nothing lives only in a phone call.

Venues & planners we already know

We work regularly with the lakefront venues, lodges and barns in the area, and coordinate directly with your planner on timelines, load-in windows and ceremony flips.

Wind at lakefront venues

Open water means real gusts by mid-afternoon. Installations are built on weighted, engineered frames with wind-tolerant material choices — no loose garlands where they will not hold.

Elevation & bloom selection

Thin, dry air is hard on delicate petals. We choose varieties that travel and hold at altitude, condition everything on-site, and keep the softest blooms for cooler, shaded moments.

Alpine light & palette

Mountain light runs cool and bright at midday, then turns gold fast. Palettes are chosen to read beautifully in both, and in your photographer's film stock.

Travel & setup logistics

Refrigerated transport, early load-in on remote roads, contingency for weather holds, and a full breakdown crew at the end of the night — all quoted transparently upfront.

The process

Four unhurried steps

01

Inquire

Send us your date, venue and a feeling. We'll confirm availability within two business days.

02

Design consultation

A relaxed call or video walk-through of palette, scale, texture and the moments that matter most.

03

Proposal & booking

A visual proposal with imagery, itemised recipe and investment. A signed agreement holds your date.

04

Wedding day

We deliver, install, tend through the day, flip the ceremony and quietly clear everything at night's end.

Kind words

We planned the entire wedding from two thousand miles away and walked into something more beautiful than the mood board we sent.
