The best wedding florists in Minneapolis turn your inspiration photos into flowers that match what you pictured. They also tell you plainly what your budget buys, and they handle delivery, setup, and teardown so you don’t have to. We looked for Twin Cities studios that pair a clear point of view with honest pricing and dependable logistics. That way, you can spend less time worrying about the details and more time choosing the look you love.
How we curate our list
We researched florists across the Twin Cities metro and checked every one against the same three methods:
- We read reviews on public review platforms and looked for repeated themes about communication, budget, and day-of delivery.
- We studied each portfolio for range across venues, seasons, wedding sizes, and design styles.
- We checked professional associations and industry directories, plus each florist’s own website for services, pricing, and service area.
Artemisia Studios
Company name and founder/lead florist: Artemisia Studios / Kimberly Harrison
Specialty/niche: Artemisia Studios designs eco-minded wedding and event flowers, using local, fair-trade, and organic blooms when it can. The studio works across many looks, including vintage, urban, boho, modern, rustic, and romantic. It started in Minneapolis and now works from a design studio in St. Paul, serving couples across the Twin Cities. The studio opened as a small Minneapolis business, and Kim leads it today. She trained as an artist and studied photography, and her team includes gardeners and artists.
Notable projects or signature style: The studio’s St. Paul wedding archive shows celebrations at Lowertown Event Center, Landmark Center, and Union Depot. Packages can be customized, and couples can add rentals such as a chuppah. Setup, teardown, and day-of coordination are available too. A retail flower shop with pickup and Twin Cities delivery runs alongside the wedding work. Its sustainability page explains the sourcing approach in more detail.
Pricing: Artemisia Studios lists wedding packages starting at $999, with larger events exceeding $5,000, on its wedding flowers page. Its quote form also asks you to pick a budget band, which gives the first conversation a clear starting point.
Why we love them: We like how hands-on the planning feels. Couples describe in-person sessions with Kim, plus flower trials and mockups with preview photos, so you can see the design well before the wedding. If you’re nervous about whether a mood board will translate, those previews help. When a quote runs high, she suggests lower-cost swaps that keep the overall look. For one couple, the team reworked ceremony altar candles and greenery into reception centerpieces during the room flip. Another couple got extra color designed to stand out inside a converted-greenhouse venue. Getting rentals, setup, and teardown from one vendor also means fewer handoffs on the day itself.

Marah Cole Designs
Company name and founder/lead florist: Marah Cole Designs / Marah Cole
Specialty/niche: Marah Cole Designs works on weddings only, and Marah owns and runs the business herself. She started in flower shops before launching her own studio, and she still meets with every couple personally. She acts as each couple’s personal floral consultant and walks them through every choice. Everything is custom, with no set packages, and her designs lean vibrant and colorful. The studio is based in the St. Paul area and serves couples across Minneapolis and St. Paul. Consultations are free, and full service includes delivery and setup.
Notable projects or signature style: Marah’s about page names venues she’s worked at. They include Abella Farm, Semple Mansion, Five Event Center, Gardens of Castle Rock, and the Saint Paul Hotel. Her site also shows weddings at Hope Glen Farm. That mix of farm properties, a historic mansion, and a hotel shows she adapts to very different rooms. Her bouquet gallery is a good place to study her color work.
Pricing: Bridal bouquets start at $225, bridesmaid bouquets at $145, boutonnieres at $15, and corsages at $30. Altar decorations start at $250, aisle decorations at $35, vase centerpieces at $125, and delivery and setup at $250. Inquire through their website to request a custom quote.
Why we love them: Published prices let you sketch a budget before your first call. Couples say final costs stay just as clear. Marah replies quickly and works well over virtual meetings. She can take a saved inspiration board, or very little direction, and turn it into a full design. Photographers and planners note that her flowers stay fresh through a long day. She’s reused ceremony flowers at receptions to stretch tight budgets and pitched in on venue décor beyond the florals. At Redeemed Farm, one couple credited her with making an already pretty setting look even better.

Ashley Fox Designs
Company name and founder/lead florist: Ashley Fox Designs / Ashley Fox
Specialty/niche: Ashley Fox Designs creates high-end, seasonal, garden-inspired florals for weddings, events, editorial shoots, and large installations. Ashley is known for bold color and a whimsical touch, and her training spans horticulture and the arts. She blends flowers from local growers with blooms sourced worldwide. Her studio is in Woodbury, in the east metro, and meetings are by appointment. She travels for destination weddings, keeps a rental inventory, and teaches workshops and mentorships for other florists.
Notable projects or signature style: Her wedding portfolio includes celebrations at Woodland Glasshaus, The Bakken Museum, and Van Dusen Mansion. It also shows work at Castello di Vicarello in Italy and a welcome dinner in Tuscany. Weddings she designed have appeared in Vogue, Martha Stewart Weddings, and BRIDES. Her about page also lists local outlets such as Minnesota Bride. Full service covers design, delivery, and installation, which matters when a piece hangs over a head table or frames a ceremony.
Pricing: Contact Ashley Fox Designs to obtain a customized quote.
Why we love them: Ashley starts sketching ideas during the consultation, so you leave the first meeting with a clear picture of the design. For couples who aren’t sure what they want, she’ll spend over an hour on a discovery call working it out. She’s known for statement pieces, such as a hanging installation above the head table, while keeping to the agreed budget. One family hired her for all three daughters’ weddings over the years, and each one had its own style. She’s driven to a distant venue walkthrough she didn’t need to attend. She also handled a couple’s blessed heirloom rosary with care and hand-wove a detailed floral crown. She’s a good match if you want one bold showpiece and a designer who plans it carefully.

Fireweed Flower Co
Company name and founder/lead florist: Fireweed Flower Co / Madeline Davenport
Specialty/niche: Fireweed Flower Co makes sustainable, fully custom wedding florals with local, seasonal flowers. The studio has never used floral foam. After events, it donates flowers to seniors or composts them. Designs span lush, garden-wild arrangements and clean, minimal ones, and the studio welcomes all couples. It suits weddings where a light environmental footprint matters as much as the look. Fireweed is based in Northfield, about 40 miles south of Minneapolis, and serves the Twin Cities plus the Brainerd Lakes and Nisswa area.
Notable projects or signature style: The look often runs loose and colorful, with arrangements that feel freshly gathered. Past work includes a wedding at Bearpath Golf & Country Club. The studio’s weddings page lays out a clear process: a consult call, then an estimate and mood board, then a contract with a 50% deposit. A check-in follows 8-12 weeks out, and final payment is due six weeks before the wedding. Delivery and teardown are included in every estimate.
Pricing: Fireweed Flower Co lists a $5,000 event minimum on its weddings page. Every proposal is custom, with no packages.
Why we love them: Fireweed is a strong fit if sustainability ranks high on your list, and couples say it was a deciding factor. Testimonials on the studio’s own site describe bold, wild arrangements that went past what couples pictured. They also mention careful, thoughtful communication throughout planning. One couple moved ceremony flowers to the reception to fit their budget. Because delivery and teardown come standard, you can compare this estimate with others without guessing what’s missing. Third-party review coverage is limited, so ask for references from recent weddings. It’s also worth asking where your flowers will go after the reception. The studio says most couples book 6-12 months ahead.

The Petal
Company name and founder/lead florist: The Petal / Tajalli Missaghi
Specialty/niche: The Petal creates luxury florals with a lush, airy garden look built around full, many-petaled flowers. The studio now works as a design house, offering florals, event design, and full planning. Its shop sits at 50th & France, on the Edina and Southwest Minneapolis border. It also runs same-day delivery, flower subscriptions, workshops, and Bloom Bar pop-ups. Weddings can be booked à la carte or full service. The Bloom Bar pop-ups and workshops offer an easy way to see the team’s style in person.
Notable projects or signature style: Full-service florals include a design consultation, a custom style board, and access to the studio’s rental collection. A production team handles install, styling, and teardown. Past weddings have included hanging floral backdrops, a meadow of blooms around the cake, and an aisle lined to look like it was growing. The about page lists press in Martha Stewart Weddings, Style Me Pretty, and Minnesota Bride. Edina Magazine also voted it the top flower shop in Edina.
Pricing: Contact The Petal to obtain a customized quote. The studio also offers full-service wedding planning, which is listed separately from florals on its weddings page.
Why we love them: Couples say Tajalli captures their vision closely and brings a calm, confident presence to planning. Her team sends style boards with estimates and stays flexible as details change. That makes it easier to see the design before you commit. In one case, the team sorted out a setup-time mix-up directly with the ceremony venue, so the bride never had to step in. Tajalli has also stayed patient through a consultation with an entire family on the call. If you want one team for florals, rentals, styling, and planning, The Petal is worth a call.

Choosing a Minneapolis wedding florist
A strong portfolio is only the start. These steps help you compare florists on style fit, scope, logistics, and communication, the details that decide how your day actually looks.
Start with your style, priorities, and budget
Gather a handful of inspiration photos and note what they share: color, texture, fullness, and mood. You don’t need flower names. Decide which pieces matter most, such as the bouquet or a ceremony arch, and where you’d accept something simpler. Treat color and mood as fixed, but stay flexible on exact varieties, since that usually gets you more for your money. Published starting prices, like the ones Marah Cole Designs lists for bouquets and centerpieces, help you test a budget before you call. Not sure how to describe your style? Ask each florist to describe your photos back to you, and see how well they read them.
Compare proposals line by line
A lower quote may simply leave things out. Ask for written proposals with each piece listed and priced, so you can match items across studios. Then check that every proposal covers the same scope:
- Delivery, setup, and teardown or pickup
- Vases, arches, and other rentals
- Substitution rules if a flower isn’t available
- Who moves ceremony pieces to the reception
Repurposing only saves money if someone is on site to move the flowers. Ask to see past events at a similar size and budget, because a minimum on its own says little about what you’ll get.
Confirm the venue and season first
Lock in your venue before you finalize florals. Load-in windows, candle rules, and limits on hanging installations all shape what a florist can build. Traditional short-term rentals often restrict events, so a rented home may not allow a wedding at all. Season matters too, because local availability shifts through the growing season. Ask what will look its best in your month. A Minneapolis wedding planner can coordinate florals with the venue, caterer, and rental company so setup times don’t collide. Send your florist the floor plan and any vendor rules early.
Book early and judge communication
Fireweed Flower Co says most of its couples book 6-12 months ahead, and popular weekends can fill early. Before you sign, notice how each florist communicates. Are emails clear and organized, and do they answer what you asked? Clarity matters more than speed. If sustainability is a priority, ask about floral foam. For a small wedding, an à-la-carte option like The Petal offers may fit better than full service. When two portfolios are equally strong, rapport usually breaks the tie.
FAQs: wedding florals in Minneapolis
How much should I budget for wedding flowers in Minneapolis?
Based on the florists profiled in this article, Artemisia Studios packages start at $999 and Marah Cole Designs bridal bouquets start at $225. Fireweed Flower Co has a $5,000 event minimum.
Why do wedding flowers cost more than a grocery bouquet?
Event pricing covers far more than stems. You’re also paying for sourcing, conditioning, design, consultations, transport, setup, and teardown, often handled by a team working on a tight timeline.
How far ahead should I book a wedding florist?
Aim for 6-12 months ahead, which is when most of Fireweed Flower Co’s couples book. Reach out sooner if you’re marrying on a popular weekend, when florists and Minneapolis wedding photographers tend to fill their calendars first.
What should I bring to a florist consultation?
Bring inspiration photos, your color palette, venue details, your budget, and a sense of what you like and dislike. You don’t need to know flower names, since a good florist will translate.
Can I reuse ceremony flowers at the reception?
Yes, and several florists in this article have done it to stretch budgets. Confirm who’ll move arch pieces, aisle arrangements, or altar greenery, and build that time into the room flip.
Are DIY wedding flowers actually cheaper?
Sometimes, but couples often underestimate prep, storage, transport, and day-of labor. A mix works well for many weddings, with professional bouquets and focal pieces plus simple DIY bud vases elsewhere.
What happens if my chosen flowers aren’t available?
Your florist will substitute a similar bloom, which can happen when weather or shipping affects supply. Agree in writing that swaps stay within your palette and that big changes need your approval.
Great flowers need the right room and the right team
Your flowers look their best when the florist, the planner, and the room all work from the same plan. Lock in the right Minneapolis wedding venue first, then let your florist design around its light, ceilings, and load-in rules.
With a clear proposal and a florist who listens, you can stop wondering whether the photos saved on your phone will match the real thing. Share your priorities early and stay open on varieties. Then let the team carry the flowers in, set them up, and clear them out at the end of the night.
