Florists really can make or break your look on your wedding day if you choose one that doesn’t understand your vision. We have worked with plenty of wedding florists here in Chicago and the Chicago area, and we definitely have some of our favorites! Here we have rounded up some of our favorites based on their style and services. You definitely are in good hands with any of these vendors.

Cresco Stems

Cresco Stems really is a gem and one of our favorite florists to work with. They are so amazing at bringing your colorful vision to life, but they also have the organization and communication skills that we and our couples really value. Working with Cresco Stems is truly a breeze and we highly recommend them! Cresco Stems says: “A few things we’d love to share are that we’re have broadened our options for couples that do not meet minimum spend totals to include a la carte door to door delivery orders with a much lower spend. This is a perfect option for couples wanting lush, custom, and fresh florals but also wanting to DIY. We create the florals and deliver to the venue door for the couple’s team to set up. We’re also doing workshops for DIYers. We customize the workshop to the brides vision so that they know what blooms work best and how to prepare and create their florals.

We feel our ability to listen to each couple’s wants and create designs that speak to their vision are our strong suit. We try our best so that each wedding we design looks unique and unlike work we’ve done before. We hope that every bride and groom walks away feeling that their florals were a memorable part of their special day.” This all is fantastic because they really can work with so many more couples now too!

Flowers for Dreams

Flowers for Dreams is one of our favorites because of the wide variety of styles that they can work with as well as the unique variety of florals that really give everything so much more personality. Flowers for Dreams can work magic regardless of your budget and can create the exact wedding you are planning. To the newlyweds dreaming of an enchanted garden for their ceremony, or stunning table centerpieces in their chosen color palette, they listen attentively to each client's vision and work tirelessly to bring it to life. Every time we work a wedding with Flowers for Dreams, we always notice the attention to details and something a little more unique than roses that we adore. They really have a way about wowing us that isn’t always common for people like us that see events all the time!

Love and Light Florist

Love and Light homes one of the sweetest florists you’ll ever meet! Annette is so kind, so accommodating, and so crafty when it comes to making your vision come to life. Annette says, “One notable and exciting development is that I'm about to design my 100th wedding this summer. I know there are some florists who design 100 weddings in a YEAR, but I keep my project load light so that I can fully focus on every couple I serve. So 100 is a big milestone that I'm very proud of!

I also have a dedication to sustainability: I use self-grown and locally-grown flowers whenever possible and reuse, compost or recycle virtually everything that comes out of my energy-efficient studio. My staff is all local and we use fuel-efficient vehicles to deliver, reducing our carbon footprint. Our small efforts can really add up!” Love and Light Florist really is a wonderful florist and we highly recommend working with her!

Catherine’s Gardens

Catherine’s Gardens is an absolute gem and we can go on forever about how simple and easy it is to work with them! Julie is number one at her response time and can get you a proposal in record time. They also do florals for all kinds of events and can be your go-to florist for everything - homecoming, wedding, baby showers, birthdays… the possibilities are endless! They love being a part of your story together and are sure to deliver exactly what you need. Building a relationship with you through all of life’s events is really important to them and it really shows with the effort they put into your wedding day!

Bou-K

Bou-K has so many beautiful photos of their work, it makes it so hard to encapsulate all of the amazing work they do!! We absolutely love their quality of not only the florals but also the experience. Bou-K says, “What makes Bou-K unique is our ability to embody our client's wedding visions as our own. Rather than centering all of our work around building our brand, we are entirely client-focused. While, over the years, we have become known for our whimsical, modern, and organic designs, we never steer our clients away from their wants and needs, and truly keep them at the forefront of everything we do.” We absolutely recommend checking them out if you’re looking for a florist.

Flowerchild Floral & Event Design

Flowerchild is a small but mighty group that has a way of bringing some of the coolest and most unique ideas to life that really stand out against other work.

Proclamation Flowers

Proclamation Flowers is so wonderful to work with which makes them one of our favorites for sure. We love their attention to detail, their problem-solving ability, and their quickness to respond. They say, “We are a working flower farm and run a full-service wedding studio from the family farm! We grow local and seasonal specialty flowers on an acre on our 5th generation farm, so we can offer couples the most beautiful, most unique, and freshest blooms! We are true flower lovers (we know your wedding flowers seed to ceremony!) and we adore floral designs that reflect the whimsy, natural beauty, and surprise of the garden. Because we grow the flowers we use, we don't use packages or minimums. We're looking for an aesthetic fit with couples - for the couples that appreciate the love, care, and work that go into growing the flowers and love what we design with them. That means, fun for us, that we design a huge range of styles, aesthetics, and vibes. We love that about our work, and we loving hearing couples 'well, this might be out there...' ideas. We're a husband and wife team that has been doing wedding for 8 years, so we're a small operation that loves to deliver big pieces of floral art for your celebration.” We really enjoy working with them and highly recommend you check them out!

They say, “What's unique about our company is... we're a fourth-generation family owned and run floral boutique that specializes in not only everyday florals but elevating event flowers to a new level of organic sophistication. Clients also love that we offer a complimentary sample mock up in store where we collaborate and hand select the unique blooms that will make up the bridal palette. This allows for a meaningful expression of the couples unique tastes and is a fun experience getting to connect with our clientele.” We know they are so easy and fun to work with from experience and we highly recommend you work with them too!

Hedonia Flowers

Hedonia Flowers is lovely, kind, “The best thing about our company is how talented our staff is. We’re small but mighty! Everyone has a background in a creative field whether that is fiber arts, photography or theater. Each wedding has several creative minds coming together working from different directions and we pride ourselves on being able to solve any problem; we absolutely love being creatively challenged. We love figuring out new ways to design our florals but also have built an entire wood workshop at our studio so that we can build new structures for our events. We’re part florists, part creative engineers!

We also pride ourselves on our inclusivity. In today’s world there is a lot of hate and there is no place for that here at Hedonia. Weddings are all about celebrating love and bringing people together; a sentiment that we take seriously. No matter our clients race, gender, sexuality or religion we want to work with them to bring their dream wedding to life.”
