Something Borrowed Blooms 

4.9

  • Starts at $250
  • Serves River Forest, IL

Thousands of brides across the United States and Canada have trusted Something Borrowed Blooms to provide the perfect flowers for their wedding day. We offer brides the expensive peonies, delicate ranunculus, out-of-season anemones, and the ever-impossible-to-find-magnolia — all at a fraction of the cost.

The process of using something borrowed blooms was so easy. I loved that the flowers could be reused and that I wasn't going to spend thousands of dollars on flowers that would just be thrown away! They included the return label in the box with the flowers they shipped out, which was great because we did not have a printer at our destination wedding. All of our flowers were fake because I was also worried about the heat wilting our flowers. I only rented bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages and a dog collar- but I wish I had rented my centerpieces as well! Amazing experience with SBB all around!

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 booked Flowers for Dreams for our wedding and they were amazing! Out of 3 quotes we received, they were the most reasonable price. We worked with Mae who was amazing! As a type A bride, I had changed my mind quite a bit and she was always so patient and willing to adjust the proposal. When we went to view our sample, there were even changes I wanted to make to that and she reassured me that the florals would be exactly what I wanted, and they were even better than I expected! We also did greenery, light bulbs, and drapery on the ceiling which she was very encouraging about. Our wedding was lakefront, and another vendor told me we could not do a runner due to the wind. When I asked Mae if we could do a runner, she said of course!! Everything we asked was received with enthusiasm. It was truly all so beautiful and Mae completely understood the vibe we were going to. Just blown away! I would rebook them and recommend them to everyone I know

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!

She is so knowledgeable on floral and was able to provide a ton of recommendations on flowers that would complement each other. She is also an absolute saint dealing with my indecisiveness and vision change midway through planning. On the morning of the wedding, she sent a video of my bouquet, which was even more beautiful than I had imagined. It was so thoughtful for her to do this, and made me ever more excited for the day.
