For a genuine fresh-plucked Charlottesville wedding floral experience, Wayflowering offers cut-your-own flower field opportunities and immersive gatherings, as well as fresh cut flowers for weddings, showers and rehearsal events. Founder and farmer​ Christine Mahoney spent 20 years researching, writing and teaching about solutions for refugee and displaced empowerment, launching Wayflowering to put ideas into action. Her innovative social enterprise provides pathways for refugees to build fulfilling careers in the floral industry.
 
By composting, adding organic matter, planting perennial crops, cover cropping and minimizing soil disruption, Wayflowering works to rebuild biodiversity and combats climate change. The stunning Charlottesville flower farm supports 20 beehives, a number of local cooperative hives and countless wild pollinators. Flowers are pesticide and herbicide free, providing a local alternative to industrial cut flowers, which can carry heavy carbon footprints.
 
Couples can choose from fresh-cut buckets of blooms for DIY weddings or Wayflowering can create a custom Flower Bar for your group to create their own arrangements. Shop for seasonal mixed bouquets or single-variety bunches. During springtime and summer, Wayflowering grows over 150 flower varieties. Gather your wedding party for a cut-your-own event held every Monday through Friday June through September or book a private group flower cutting, a flower field photo shoot or private celebration at the gorgeous flower farm.
