Botanicals
for the Wildly Curious
our ethos: flowers as art that inspires change. local flowers or as close to home as possible. sustainability isn’t just a slogan, it’s a way of life.
if this sounds like you, let’s create some floral magic together —
on the Violet Lane.
What We Offer
Bespoke floral design prioritizing local products from a variety of flower farms across Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, paired artfully with foraged and found items from the backroads, trails, and prairies of our Midwest home.
-
one or two more weddings available for the couples getting married in 2026. If you think we’re a fit, inquire below and we’ll reach out shortly if we’re available!
-
If you’re getting married in 2027 and you’re looking for something wilder and more free than a traditional florist, we’re booking our 2027 couples now. We’ll create something magical for your special day and we cherish each opportunity to create floral art to accompany you cross into a new day as a couple, joined together.
-
We focus on sourcing flowers as close to home as possible to make your day a sustainable celebration that supports local farms (mostly women-owned) directly in your community.
We specialize in intimate affairs where the focus is on the details — highlighting the uniqueness of your love story.

The design timeline typically goes as follows:
couples secure date with a retainer (usually 8-12 months ahead of time)
meet with designer to finalize your floral plan: a multi-page breakdown of each floral aspect (6-8 months ahead of time)
final payment due 60 days ahead of wedding date
final check-in & timeline confirmation (week of wedding)
Pricing:
Each couple receives a custom floral quote based on a combination of their needs, their design aesthetic, and scope of work.
We ask about your budget in our questionnaire from the start and will strive to create something enchanting with any budget.
Couples we’ve worked with in the past few years typically spend between $1k-$3k.
Past Couples
Reiman Gardens
Nestled in the heart of Ames, near Iowa State University, is a butterfly-filled botanical oasis.
L + A chose Reiman Gardens for their stateside celebration after officially tying the knot in Scotland. We were honored to design florals and assist with overall event coordination.
The Cellar Winery
Peony season is peak spring wedding vibes and H + A took full advantage by utilizing all the colors of the garden in their garden party wedding.
The Cellar Winery, located just outside of Des Moines offers an idyllic rural setting for couples who breathe easier in the great outdoors.
The Science Center of Iowa
Perhaps the most fun-loving couple of the year — A+C invited friends and family to join them for a nerdy night of entertainment at the Science Center in downtown Des Moines.
A dahlia filled bouquet featuring 100% local flowers for A looked like a painting come to life! Accompanied by ethereal ikebana floral designs at each table for a whimsical celebration.
Intimate Dinner Party Wedding
E + M opted for an elopement at the Iowa Capitol followed by an intimate dinner party at local icon, Eatery A on Des Moines’ historic Ingersoll Ave.
We beckoned spring with their late winter celebration, using flowers that would literally unfold before guests’ eyes like tulips, daffodils, and poppies.
Who We’re For
the nature nuts, romantics, conservationists, wanderlust travelers, seekers of wonder
