Rooted in St. Louis and Empowered by Service
At the intersection of meticulous floral art and a deep commitment to service lies Roses & Mint, a leading St. Louis wedding florist. Far more than just arranging blooms, this team of women is dedicated to supporting the entire person and the journey to marriage.
Roses & Mint was founded over 13 years ago by Kira, with Cynthia and Carly joining the ownership trio organically—Carly, notably, first experienced the company as a client for her own wedding florals. St. Louis is the undeniable foundation of their business; the team is deeply invested in the community and could not imagine operating anywhere else.
Their core philosophy is simple and powerful: Where artful floral design is deeply intertwined with our heart to serve.
The owners bring a unique, holistic, and emotion-centered approach to their work, drawing on their backgrounds in social work and criminal justice. This foundation allows them to be supportive guides through all the hurdles of wedding planning, often helping couples with issues that have nothing to do with flowers. They see it as a privilege to be deeply invested in the couple’s love story and their future marriage, which is placed first in their process.

Signature Style and The 2026 Year of Freedom
While the Roses & Mint team is formally trained and passionate about all design styles—from modern and flower-forward to organic, garden-inspired, and whimsical—their signature remains consistent across every luxury St. Louis wedding floral design: impeccable mechanics. Couples can always recognize their work by the clean, well-made spiraled bouquet stems and the overall adherence to the principles of design, ensuring the finished product is both beautiful and structurally sound.
The Biggest Trend: Freedom
Looking ahead, the team believes 2026 is the year of freedom. This is the freedom for couples to feel confident in choosing what is important to them and to step away from traditional expectations, allowing their genuine heart’s desire to be present on their wedding day.
They are excited to see couples embrace the spirit of St. Louis, leaning into the classic architecture and showcasing local resources and small businesses. A potentially huge trend they predict is moving beyond traditional color palettes and into merging colors in new ways, taking an unconventional idea and pushing the boundaries to elevate it into a new, artful design.

The Floral Splurge: Invest in the Impact
When asked for a single splurge recommendation, these St. Louis wedding florists have this piece of advice:
- Invest in Impactful Florals: When choosing between small, accent floral reception pieces and one large installation, always choose the piece that will make an impact, such as a floral installation above the dance floor. This is where the money is best spent because it sets the tone for the celebration, keeps guests centered, and, most importantly, will live forever in your photos.
- Invest in Service: Beyond flowers, invest in the logistical backbone of the wedding, which a great wedding planner can run with. Ensuring there are enough staff members for bar service, for example, equates to a seamless experience for guests.
Ultimately, Roses & Mint urges all couples to take time to prepare for their marriage, not just their wedding. Read books, consider premarital counseling, and focus on why you are planning this celebration. They will take care of the beautiful blooms, but their deepest investment is in the marriage you are entering into.
For couples seeking artful floral design backed by genuine support and dedication throughout the entire wedding journey, Roses & Mint is ready to serve.
