I was so overwhelmed when I first started looking for florists for our wedding. There are so many options, and I didn’t even know where to start until I found Poppy. They break down the process and steps, making it super easy, almost to the point that it doesn’t feel real. To start, you meet with a floral consultant where you talk through your wedding details, the vibe you’re going for, the general needs, etc. Then they walk you through a list of various wedding floral options: bouquets, table arrangements, signage florals, ceremony florals, etc., and you start to narrow down what you want. In each section, they have a grouping of photos, and you can either select something from that or ask for more options. You can also tweak what they have shown (I picked florals that had eucalyptus in them and requested everything be switched to ruscus). After that, you have a while to go back in and adjust until a deadline, but they accommodated some last-minute adds I had as well. Our consultant was Sophia, and she was super responsive and wonderful to work with. Closer to the wedding, you get assigned a local florist who does the actual designing/styling and installing, and we were lucky enough to get Ron, who matched our inspo images EXACTLY. Everything was so beautiful, and I was so in love with my bouquet. He was also incredibly nice and set everything up so quickly. If you’re looking for something to make the whole floral selection easy, simple, and beautiful (also super transparent with costs), definitely go with Poppy!!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Yvonne for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From the very first consultation, she was incredibly realistic about what we could achieve within our budget. Instead of trying to upsell us on extravagant options, she listened to our vision and offered thoughtful suggestions that aligned perfectly with our financial constraints. Her flexibility with payment options was a breath of fresh air, making the planning process much less stressful. It was clear that she genuinely wanted to help us create our dream wedding without stretching us beyond our means. On the big day, the floral arrangements and decor were nothing short of stunning. Every detail was beautifully executed and truly brought our vision to life. Our guests were in awe, and we received countless compliments on the flowers and overall ambiance. If you're looking for a florist who is not only talented but also honest and accommodating, I highly recommend Yvonne. She made our wedding day even more special, and we are so grateful for her expertise and support!

I loved working with Deneige since day 1. She was very communicative and responsive. She was very flexible and could accommodate every idea I had. For example, I wanted to use specific vases and added a wedding floral arch a few months before. Deneige made it all possible, and she brought my vision to life! I could have my dream floral designs while staying on a budget; working with Alto Floral Designs was affordable and accessible. I will keep Alto Floral Designs in mind when I have any event and will continue recommending them to any future brides I know. Thank you! -Diana & Christian

Dreamscapes Wedding Floral Designs was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was timely, transparent, and incredibly detailed. Amanda, the owner, took the time to truly understand our vision and made sure every floral element was executed beautifully. The bouquets and ceremony decor were all vibrant, colorful, and of the highest quality. Amanda was a recommendation from my family members, as she had also done the flowers for 3 of our other family weddings, and I'm so glad we trusted their glowing reviews.

I highly recommend Goldies Flowers & Gifts! I reached out to them in February for my June wedding, and they were more than happy to help. Zorica was creative, communicative, and supportive every step of the way. She let me send her photos and other inspiration, and she made adjustments when the colors weren't exactly what I had in mind. In the end, my bouquet, flower crown, and centerpieces were gorgeous and even better than I imagined. I will be going to Goldies for any future floral needs! 3 Photos by Something Blue Photography in Arlington Heights, IL—I also highly recommend!!!

I did a lot of research prior to picking a florist for our wedding. After talking to Jessica about my hopes and vision for our wedding flowers, and seeing her proposal, I knew she was the florist for us!! The flowers for our wedding were GORGEOUS! We got so many compliments on how beautiful every bouquet, bout, and centerpiece was. On top of ordering and creating everything for our wedding day, my mother in law called Jessica the week of our wedding to see if she could make centerpieces for our rehearsal dinner (there was last minute drama with the original florist my MIL chose). Jessica amazingly said no problem, and created beautiful Tuscan themed center pieces for our wine cellar rehearsal dinner. I HIGHLY recommend Anemone Creative for your floral and centerpiece needs. You will get beautifully designed pieces and work with an incredibly talented floral designer who can make your vision come to life!

We decided to surprise our families with our wedding in Santa Ynez and asked Clover & Stone to create the bouquet, flower arraignments & altar (yes they also built us an A-frame to get married within).

  • Serves River Forest, IL

The aesthetic of Saville’s honors classic European floral design with a touch of the extraordinary and unique. We create a feast for the senses in every sophisticated arrangement and bouquet that leaves our store, incorporating a lush mix of textural foliage amongst our unusual blooms. We're always up early searching the flower markets to ensure our vintage cooler is stocked with an impressive assortment of cut stems. **Please note: We cannot respond to Zola inquires. Contact us through our website to fill out our Wedding Consultation form and receive your personalized wedding proposal! We look forward to working with you.

I used to live in Evanston and relied on Saville for all my special occasions. When it came to planning my wedding, I knew that head floral designer Mark was the only person for my floral vision! He graciously agreed to fly down and cater to our wedding in Fort Myers, Florida. Mark went above and beyond to make our wedding decor outstanding. He took on much more than just a florist role- he basically stepped in and became the day-of coordinator. He is a natural!! I hadn't hired a wedding planner, and Mark basically took it upon himself to be that person. It was amazing, and I would highly recommend his services. As far as the flowers go- I will let the photos speak for themselves. The spread was absolutely stunning and even beyond what I had in mind. Mark met my vision and then added to it! I never would have thought of the fresh fruit on the tables, but it really brought such a pop of life and freshness to our early Spring wedding! The complimenting candles were also his idea, and it made the space glow beautifully when the sun went down. Best of all was my bridal arrangement. As you can see, it was the highlight of every photo. THANK YOU MARK AND SAVILLE!! Because of you, my wedding day was brighter. I cannot recommend this team highly enough for their professionalism, artistic vision, creativity, and commitment to your big day!

Who is RLM? RLM noun \relm\ : 1. a royal domain; a kingdom 2. the space or domain where something prevails. RLM is not an acronym. It is a streamlined presentation of the concept that working with us opens a realm of possibilities. RLM Events & Design was founded by a team of three women with expertise in fine dining, hospitality, consulting, and leadership development. RLM was born from our realization that to be truly excellent at bringing the vision for an event to life, the creative capability must blend seamlessly with polished execution.

Jennifer was able to take all my disparate inspiration images and bring them together into a beautifully crafted and cohesive floral arrangement that perfectly captured the ideas I had in my head. She was so terrific to work with and so intuitive!

We used Bunny as our florist and wedding coordinator - it couldn't have gone better! Our interaction first with Bunny began with a lovely and in depth meeting about our hopes for flowers at our wedding. After walking through some questions, we ended our meeting and then Bunny sent a Flower Preview entailing all we had discussed with other options as well. This preview was set up like a power point with photos from the bride's bouquet to the flowers for the arch, boutonnières, and more! After finalizing every detail and being in constant communication, she sent over a Google Doc in order to fill out information about our wedding, vendors, rehearsals, etc. When the day of my wedding came, all I had to do was set out any decor I wanted to use and as my bridal party, mom, and I all got ready with snacks and drinks she provided, Bunny was furiously decorating the ceremony and reception space. By the time we were done getting ready, the space was complete and BEAUTIFUL! The day could not have gone smoother - as a bride, I was actually relaxed! As the ceremony continued, Bunny worked with my DJ, photographer, and videographer to make sure everything was as it should be. When my food arrived, the caterers had not brought the chicken (one of two main courses). Bunny took care of it by calling the vendor, letting me know it's getting taken care of, and even made an announcement to guests that the chicken was late. Even when something wrong, Bunny made everything feel right. I am incredibly thankful for her help, calm demeanor, and advice she offered along the way. You couldn't choose a better florist or coordinator for your wedding or event! 100 out of 5 stars 3
