WILDLY CONSIDERED · BEAUTIFULLY UNDONE
Our philosophy

We follow the season, then break the rules.

Petal Theory creates floral worlds with movement, tension, and a little surprise. We source from local growers first, choose every stem by hand, and design each celebration from the room outward.

What we create

One studio. Every flower.

Quiet drama at The Conservatory.

Wild branch, garden rose, ranunculus, and smoke bush moved through the room like a single growing gesture—from ceremony meadow to candlelit tables.

A few details

Before we begin.

For full-service weddings, 9–14 months ahead is ideal. Intimate events and editorial projects may fit with 6–12 weeks’ notice.

Yes. We work throughout the Midwest and selectively across the country, with travel scoped transparently.

It can be a useful starting point, but our goal is to create something original that belongs to your place and season.
