Wilder Gardens and Flowers

Hi! I'm Alex, owner and lead designer of Wilder, a wedding florist and floral design studio serving NYC, Syracuse, Rochester, The Finger Lakes, and beyond! Wilder has created florals for galas, fashion shows, and weddings at some of the best NYC venues for over a decade, and more recently, at boutique venues in Central New York. We approach our beautifully wild wedding flowers with passion, cohesiveness, and an environmental ethic, taking inspiration from the landscape around us. Most of my design blends more obvious blooms with forage from my land upstate, so that your wedding feels seasonal, natural, original and (elegantly ) wild.

I am a garden designer who specializes in native plants, as well as floral designer, and a true outdoors woman who is always seeking inspiration outside. It is the wild beauty the landscape that most inspires me and infuses my floral work. Whether my clients’ wedding decor calls for dramatic design or the simple strokes of nature, I always aim to not only make something beautiful, but to bring a sensory vitality to weddings flowers and event decor, incorporating locally field-grown flowers, blooms from my cutting gardens and forage from my land wherever possible.
