WILD, WILTED AND BEAUTIFUL

Perfect peonies? Too predictable. The undone bouquet is doing something else entirely — softer, stranger, and way more interesting.

It’s giving whimsy over symmetry. Organic shapes, wild stems, and flowers that feel like they were gathered on a walk — not flown in from five time zones away. Think seasonal over exotic. Honest over impressive.

They’re not trying to be the show — they just are. Quietly confident in their wilt, their bend, their bruised edges. There’s a beauty in the unruly, untamed nature of this floral aesthetic. Proof that letting go — of perfection, of control — can be its own kind of art.

The best part? You don’t need to be a trained florist to get in on it. Just gather what’s local and in season — wildflowers, herbs, a few rogue branches — and play around. No rules, just rhythm.

Pro tip: buy a bit of chicken wire or a flower frog to help hold the stems in place inside your vase. That’s all the structure you need. The rest is up to the flowers.
