Hey there, I'm Kailey Russell, the heart behind Bare Roots LLC! Flowers, coffee, hiking, and my adorable cats are a few of my favorite things ( oh, and my husband 😂) . I've been designing natural vibes in florals for years, and lately, I've been diving into the wonderful world of contemporary florals! Something else you’ll quickly realize is that I practically live in hats, you’ll rarely see me without one! 🌼🐱🌿☕ Florist + Designer @barerootsllc Photo + Video @ashleyicephotos Makeup @softglowstudio Hair @theposhkc Model 1 @evgeniafriesen Model 2 @janegelei Model 3 @lemunyonn Coordination @planitterra Venue @thegalleryeventspace Bridal Design + Accessories @theone_bridal Vintage Rentals @pretty.lil.things China + Glassware @goodstuffchina Linens + Napkins @a1partyeventrentalcomo Uplighting @eliteeventsmodj Ghost Chairs: @supplyevent

What a dreamy weekend to be a spring bride! 💐 Come spend a day in the life with me as we prep for a wedding with @planitterra at @jcmillbottom - filled with the softest spring blooms, lush greens, peonies so full they were practically the size of my hand, and floral scents that guests couldn’t stop talking about. Pure magic in every detail!

Art looks different to everyone… but my favorite kind? The kind that tells your love story in petals, texture, and color 🌸

Bold, romantic, and beautifully unexpected 💜 Every detail of this wedding was designed with intention, from the layered tones of violet to the textures that moved softly. Color becomes art when it’s curated to reflect a couple’s story. For the bride who dreams beyond tradition, 2027 weddings are now booking. Let’s design something entirely your own.

There’s nothing I love more than bringing color to life, and I absolutely loved creating this piece for @thecrossingcomo 's Easter service this year. Dreamy pastels paired with vibrant pops made the entire installation feel alive 🦋 Now booking 2027 & 2028 brides and events-tap the link in bio to connect!

Let’s talk tablescape florals 💐 From dinner to dancing, speeches to those quiet in-between moments - the table holds so much of the wedding day story. I love creating florals that feel like an extension of that energy - designs that catch candlelight, soften a laugh, and bring warmth to every moment shared around them. 2027 wedding bookings are now open, and each celebration begins with conversation. If your day deserves florals that tell your story beautifully, I’d love to start dreaming with you!

Design days like this remind me why I fell in love with florals in the first place.

The #1 question I got about these Easter arrangements was "Are those flowers real??" YES! Every bloom is real, intentionally designed, and every now and then... professionally enhanced for that touch of ✨sparkle & charm ✨ @missouriflowerexchange @thecrossingcomo #WeddingFlorist #MissouriWeddings #ColorfulWedding #BridetoBe2027 #FloralDesign #WeddingFlowers #KansasCityWedding

There’s something magical about those quiet morning hours before everyone arrives 🌸 While the world is still waking up, I’m out here bringing your ceremony vision to life-one stem at a time. The early call times, the careful placements, the step-back-and-assess moments… this is where the magic happens. Because by the time you walk down that aisle? Every bloom, every color, every texture is exactly where it needs to be to celebrate YOUR story. This is the work I live for 💐 2027 + 2028 brides-if you want florals that feel like YOU from the moment your ceremony starts, let’s make it happen.

Wedding days like this are just magical ✨ Margo & Chase’s Old Hawthorn celebration was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and effortless joy—soft blue details, a beautiful church ceremony, the dreamiest tented reception… and the kind of sunset you hope for but can’t plan.
