Behind the Name ​

The olive branch has long stood as a symbol of hope, peace, and enduring love. Traditionally, olive branches and olive trees have been given as wedding gifts to bestow best wishes on married couples. At The Wild Olive, we grow our own organic olive trees and harvest olive branches from them to incorporate in each floral project to bring you and your partner an offering of best wishes on your wedding day. We wish you hope in times of struggle, peace in your household and relationship, and enduring love in your marriage. 

Our custom floral designs focus on the beauty of nature, combining colors and textures to bring out the natural, organic beauty in each arrangement. 

About The Wild Olive  

Hi! My name is Chelsea, owner and designer at The Wild Olive. 

I love creating. Ever since I was a little girl, I loved being a creator and maker, it brought me great joy. The people who know me best will attest that I am always working on a project. Whether that is drawing, renovating my house, gardening, or building cabinets. Name a hobby and it probably has been or currently is on my to-do list. 

My interest in floral design started early on in my life. My sister's first job was at a florist and, lucky for me, her boss was happy to have me at the shop. Even though I wasn't any help, I loved being there. To this day, I still have such fond memories of spending time at that little shop. In 2011, I started my own floral journey. I began working at a local florist and from the moment I found floral design I was hooked. In 2013, I left the shop to begin a more "serious" job but I continued to help friends and family with weddings on the side. A few months later, after missing floral design too much, I decided to begin my own floral business specifically focusing on weddings. I would pick up flowers on my lunch break, rush them home, make business calls on break, and design after work, sometimes until 2 AM. Exhausting, yes, but so rewarding.

Now, ten years later, I have officially left my nine-to-five job and I am pursuing floral design full-time. Working with flowers brings so much joy but the best, by far, is watching the joy flowers bring to everyone. I wish to bring that joy to you.
