Great floral design should not only reflect the personality of a party, but also inspire energy, connection, and nostalgia among its guests. That’s the philosophy of Verushka Wilson, owner and lead designer of small Memphis floral studio, The Mane Wildling.
Its niche is uncommon creations that elevate the vibe of an event. The Mane Wildling’s unique designs make imperfection look pretty. Its chaotic aesthetic echoes the anarchy of nature through sprawling branches, blooms and bouquets that show beauty in asymmetry. For the nontraditional host or bride, these designs bring just the right amount of crazy to a décor scheme. Verushka launched the brand in 2020 to honor her late grandfather, a Somerville farmer and gardener named Charles “Mane” Coleman.
She built her flower farm on the land he willed to her and her siblings, channeling its generational legacy of wealth, life, and growth. That flower farm now serves as the source of The Mane Wildling’s signature arrangements, each of which is made to order. If you’re planning your next gathering or wedding, check them out!
