Ranunculus Club 2025!
When the pandemic started in March 2020, a friend asked if I might have flowers on hand anytime soon. Without a wedding on the calendar, we hatched a plan to split a case of ranunculus and offer the extras to friends in the community. And WOW. Sheridan flower lovers showed up. I bundled up thousands of stems for everyone to enjoy at home. You supported my little business and the farms that grow the flowers we love.
These ruffled beauties were such a hit that I decided we should make an official club in 2021, and here we are. Starting March 5, flowers will come to town every other week for five weeks, ending on April 30th, just in time for May Day. Pick one week or all five and join the club today for $35/week. Sign up now! Those who sign up before February 26 lock in pricing regardless of market increases.
Ranunculus Care:
Never leave me in your car (just like babies and dogs)
Stems will do best with a fresh cut (SHARP knife or scissors) and clean, cool water
Change water daily for best results, and avoid direct sunlight that will encourage bacteria growth.
A note on wobbly stems: These flowers are some of the toughest and longest-lasting you can enjoy, but their necks can be fragile. Provide support with a vase, and if the worst happens and their heads tip over, cut them short and place them into a shot glass or tiny bottle or vase. I’ve had blooms with an inch worth of stem for nearly 2 weeks on my nightstand. You can also provide internal stem support by inserting a pipe cleaner before placing in water.

Let’s assume standard Whirly Girl Design and seasonally available flowers for all items below. (If your dream includes arrangements dripping in orchids or peonies in August, we’ll need to increase your budget). Happy Planning!

The Whirly Way (& What to Expect)
Congratulations!
Captured by Cassie Madden Photography
Planning a wedding is a big undertaking, not something most people do daily. Amidst the joy and excitement of engagement, dozens of decisions and choices exist. From the small to the large, you’re trying to bring everything together to shape your best day and the beginning of a new life with the one you love.
I intend to make the flower portion of planning easy, stress-free, and of course, deliver a gorgeous final product on your wedding day. Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a giant party, I’d love to be a part of your celebration. Check out our flower calculator to help with your planning.
Choose your adventure (& I’ll bring the flowers):
Whirly Weddings
As a full-service wedding and event design studio, we specialize in handcrafting emotive arrangements and installations for celebrations of all sizes. From grand weddings to intimate gatherings, we have the expertise, knowledge and contagious artistic expression to bring your flower dreams to fruition. If you know wholeheartedly that your forever is written in flowers, we may just be the perfect fit for one another.
Elopements & Micro Weddings
As a Wyoming florist, we love nothing more than when our couples vow to run away together, flowers in tow! All of our elopement and micro wedding floral packages are inspired by the season, your color palette, and the feel of the day. This package is a “Yes, please” option for couples who are planning a simple yet adventurous gathering, working with a modest budget, and/or trust me to bring their vision vibrantly to life just as they deserve.
Here’s what to expect:
Step 1. You Freak Over my Art
If you’ve found yourself saving our Instagram posts, daydreaming about the Portfolio, and telling your girlfriends about Whirly Girl, this may be your sign that we’re soulmates. Don’t worry; we’re freaking out about it too!
Step 2. Flower Talk
Fill out our contact form to get this party started. To move forward with an inquiry, we do ask that you provide not only your confirmed wedding date but the venue you have under contract. Reminder - I typically book 6-12 months in advance.
Step 3. Dream in Detail
Once I confirm your wedding date is as open as the western landscapes, the dreaming begins. First, I’ll kindly prompt you to fill out our questionnaire where we will gather more information on your color scheme, vision, budget, guest count, anticipated wedding party size, and basic floral wish list (bouquets, ceremony flowers, etc).
You may not have all the answers right now, and that’s okay. We’re not expecting you to! Just provide your best guess to get started! Also, if you’re using Pinterest, please be sure to add me to your board (or include a link), so I can see what flowers you’re falling in love with for your day.
Step 4. Custom Estimate, Check!
After reviewing your information, I’ll provide a custom proposal for your consideration. I typically offer one estimate with a basic visual proposal before booking with a one-week expiration. If necessary, we can make one revision before booking at no cost. Once accepted, I’ll provide a contract for review and retainer details to reserve your date and services. Curious about pricing? Check out this post.
Step 5. Make Me a Match
Yay! You want to work with Whirly Girl for your wedding. Return the signed contract and retainer to reserve your date. We’ll make time to chat, discuss options in detail, and nail down specifics. I’ll also provide a schedule so you know what to expect from Whirly Girl in the coming months to make your floral dreams come true.
