Seeking Adventure & Botanical Designs

Wedding floral artistry where nature meets the creative, we strive to be flexible to meet your inspired creative vision and vibe for your wedding. Bare Roots specializes in bringing nature and classical inspired botanicals as well as creative and contemporary visions to your wedding. Working with a range of product and materials from garden inspired blooms of peonies and tulips to more textural and bold elements of paint, textiles, and hardscapes allows for us to create your inspired vision.

Born and raised in mid-Missouri with a love of the great outdoors, flowers, and travel.

I fell in love with wedding and event design while attending the University of Missouri for plant science. I found myself working at their student operated floral shop and immersed myself into the industry through SAIFD and various internships

With over 5 years of professional wedding and event floral design experience and continuing my floral education across the U.S. and abroad, creating and designing your wedding day flowers is my dream.

Kailey is incredibly talented as a floral designer, and she’s an absolute pleasure to work with. My wedding was two weeks ago, and everyone is still talking about how beautiful the flowers were.
Kailey was so helpful and flexible during the planning process — even when I changed my mind about what kinds of pieces I wanted a million times. She had great recommendations on color palettes, types of vases, and what kinds of pieces we needed to fill the restaurant space for our reception.
On our wedding day, she was on time, made everything look beautiful, and helped move arrangements from the ceremony to the reception. She even ran out of her way to drop off hair pieces at our getting ready location, because I forgot to plan someone to pick them up.

Thank you a million times over, Kailey!

THANK YOU will never be enough for all the magic you created with the stunning arrangements you put together for our wedding. I couldn’t have loved them MORE!! I heard compliments all day long from my bridesmaids, the guests, etc. They were absolutely breathtaking, and my only regret is that I didn’t order more of your work to be displayed everywhere! The flowering basil was beautiful and smelled phenomenal even until today when I had to part with some of them. You are a TRUE artist, and I was beyond impressed with your eye for design. Standing ovation for Bare Roots! I wish you nothing but success for all your years to come!

Working with owner, Kailey, of Bare Roots for my wedding was an excellent experience. She is responsive, thorough, detail oriented, and has a great eye for floral design. We collaborated for months, messaging back and forth, in order to come up with the best plan for my wedding, and it turned out absolutely beautifully! Being a bride who lived 800 miles away from her wedding site, having someone local like Kailey work with me and my other vendors in the area to execute the vision, was such a comfort. I highly recommend her and her work!
