ABOUT WILD BLOOMS BRIDAL
Wild Blooms Bridal began as a one woman, wedding planner with a vision
Hi — I’m Lauren! I’m the owner of Wild Blooms Bridal and head on all things gowns, event planning, and floral design. If you would have asked me ten years ago where I thought I’d be — I would definitely not have told you that I’d be the owner of this business, married, with a precious baby boy. I guess you could say I wasn’t into more traditional “girly things” when I was younger, but my oh my has that changed!
In my adult professional life I spent a lot of time as an event planner…which I loved, and somewhere along the way, I realized that weddings were the celebrations I wanted to give my heart and focus to. After falling in love with my husband and going through my own wedding experience, my love for weddings and desire to give brides the best experience possible continued to grow.
What started out as a passion for weddings slowly grew into a passion for floral design and then before you know it, I was following a gut instinct to open up a local bridal boutique for brides to have an intimate, one-of-a-kind bridal shopping experience in the Hudson Valley.
I’m a very natural kind-of-girl, with a passion for design and aesthetic. More than the looks of things, I'm really about getting the vibe right, with every woman I support and every wedding we design. I think I know what it is most women are looking for and really care to see each woman for her unique style and personality. And, I like to stretch beyond the bounds of what your typical wedding situations look like. I know this day is special to you, and I know that you have a unique and special design you’re wanting to bring forth in your wedding. And it’s an absolute joy and honor to support women in this fun, elegant, and highly creative way.
Not too long later, Lauren F (the other Lauren) came along and we officially became "The Lauren's." She really made Wild Blooms Bridal what it is today. With her fashion background and love for weddings, Lauren quickly became a crucial part of the business. She is now involved in all aspects of Wild Blooms and is our lead wedding planner (amongst a million other roles).
We now have an amazing group of women who are here to help make all your bridal dreams come true.

Olani from Blue by Enzoani
As much as I LOVE a good party and a packed dance floor, ceremonies get me every time. The overwhelming excitement of walking down the aisle, the truest expression of love when seeing your significant other for the first time, the VOWS, the genuine happiness of being married right after saying “I do.”
