Welcome to Wilde Rose
​
Hand crafted, bespoke blooms for classically timeless weddings and events across the greater DC area and beyond...
​
​
Hey! I'm so glad you're here!
​
I've loved weddings for nearly as far back as I can remember; from cutting and pasting gowns out of bridal magazines to dressing up and "playing wedding" as a child.
​
Now it's the excitement, the beauty, and the deep significance of the day that compel me to create the most beautiful and extraordinary flower moments. If you love the romantic, thinking outside the box, and maybe swoon a little over the most perfect garden rose....we should talk. My name is Carmen and I can't wait to meet you!

Design Philosophy
In pursuing the best of what nature has to offer, my search usually starts right here in my own gardens. Growing those really special blooms for my brides is a labor of love and my tiny garden is maximized to its fullest capacity. Mostly though, I love to support my local farmer friends who work so hard to grow amazing and beautiful blooms. These locally grown, in-season flowers are at the heart of my designs and always leave a lasting impression due to their quality, fragrance, and general delightfulness. However, since our climate doesn't support growing every beautiful bloom out there, we also support farms from farther away.
​
We strongly believe that your wedding day flowers should be as fresh as you are, so we don't offer faux floral services at this time.
Portfolio
Every wedding is uniquely different and beautiful because your story is too...and your flowers should help to tell that story. Here at Wilde Rose, much thought and planning go into the selection of each and every wedding flower palette and design, no two are exactly the same. For your inspiration and curiosity, please take a look at our portfolio.
Kind Words
"We were so grateful to have found Carmen for our wedding! She created beautiful florals and went above and beyond for us (if she didn’t have something she found it or offered to build it). She responded to emails promptly and was very professional yet it felt like talking with a friend."

Carmen was amazing to work with! I had no doubt she would create the most beautiful floral pieces for our wedding and she did not disappoint! Not only is she extremely talented, she is very kind and very easy to communicate with! Highly recommend!!

Carmen is so incredibly sweet and talented. She made the whole process so easy. I completely trusted her taste and judgement. She completely understood my vision. My wedding flowers were even more beautiful than I even anticipated. I can’t recommend Wilde Rose more. WEDDING MUST HAVE!

"I knew when I saw the flowers she’d arranged for my sister’s wedding that she had to do the same for mine! Carmen goes above and beyond in her efforts to create exactly what you want. She took a few of the ideas I had and put her own beautiful twist to them, creating the loveliest flowers I’ve ever seen."
