Awarded Best of Zola
Aster and Bramble did such an amazing job with my wedding! The flowers were even more beautiful than I had hoped. Some of the flowers I had in mind were not in season, (my wedding was in February) so I chose to leave it up to the designers to pick other flowers that would go with my theme and colors. They did not disappoint!

Florist & Hound Design 

5.0

  • Starts at $8,000
  • Serves Buffalo Grove, IL

Florist & Hound Design is a boutique floristry company specializing in artful floral design of weddings, events, and editorials. Based in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago, serving Chicago and Northern Illinois along with destinations! Our team is led by Klaudia Szymel, who has been in the floral industry for 6 years and supported by an incredibly talented team. Odie is the Hound. He's included in every proposal, is on every call, and spends tremendous amounts of time in the studio. While he loves flowers, you'll catch him on our Story often or snoozing while the rest of the team works away!

We had such a wonderful experience working with Klaudia! From the very beginning, she was warm and supportive and understood our vision despite our inability to fully articulate it ourselves. We are not flower experts but we knew we wanted something whimsical and magical for our winter wedding. She spent tons of time with us, in person, on the phone, and via email, making sure our proposal was exactly what we wanted. She even stuck with us through some huge changes to our original wedding plan and budget and came up with creative solutions to make sure we got exactly what we wanted within what we could afford. Within just a few weeks of the wedding, we got some wild ideas to use some items of our own in the decorating, and she made that work for us as well. The day-of, our flowers were unspeakably gorgeous. Klaudia delivered the bouquets to us right on time, and decorated the venue beautifully (all while having a broken leg!!!! She is magic.) Our other vendors, guests and even strangers during our outdoor photos raved about the flower arrangements. They were super unique and special, and I never wanted them to be over! In fact, we still have my dried bridal bouquet hanging in our apartment three months later... In sum, hire Klaudia. She is the florist of dreams.

The Faux Bouquets 

5.0

  • Starts at $175
  • Serves Buffalo Grove, IL

Believe it or not, we often have people ask if our pictures throughout our website are showing a mix of fresh and faux and…no they aren’t! Although fresh florals are pretty, we are totally in love with poser-blooms all the way here and that’s what we design 100% of our orders with.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the absolute best experience with The Faux Bouquets. The flowers were absolutely stunning for my wedding. The owner, Brittany, was so kind and even called me to make sure my wedding wouldn't be affected by Hurricane Helene. Thankfully, my area was not affected, but I just really felt that was a special kindness that needs to be called out. But again, the quality of the bouquets, micro sprays and greenery was so great and photographed so well! And all at a fraction of the cost of real flowers that would have just been thrown away at the end of the night! The delivery and return process couldn't have been simpler! And I loved my husband and I got to customize and keep my bouquet and his boutonniere during a promotional add-on! Thank you again, Brittany and The Faux Bouquets, for helping make our wedding so beautiful!

Our wedding was in 2016. My husband and I knew we wanted comic book details in different parts of our wedding day; we did not anticipate flowers being an area we would do this. I also had a clear idea of what I didn’t want for floral. Enter Bunny. All I could tell her was: I love pink, roses are stupid, I like carnations, maybe some lilies if those were in season. This was not a lot to work with, and didn’t give her much direction. Y’all - she is so creative and talented!! She did paper flowers out of old comic books, found me a bunch of gorgeous pink flowers, added greenery, and did not include roses. My flower girls had flower wands and they loved them. My bouquet ribbon had The Hulk on it. Bunny thought of things I did not, and it was exactly perfect. You will absolutely not be disappointed if you hire her.

Katie was a breeze to work with! I am not big on real flowers and wanted something that would represent my husband and I. Her prices are comparable to real flowers and are even more lovely! I love that her flower designs mimic real flowers and that foliage was an option. She took the care to make sure I had what I wanted and sent me multiple pictures during the process and of the finished result before we picked them up for the wedding. She accepted my feedback and made changes to the bouquets to match my vision. I still have my bouquet and my husbands boutonniere as keepsakes that remind me of our special day. I would use her services again and again!

Miriam and her team at Esther's Private Garden were wonderful from start to finish.

For example, I quoted and interviewed 7 different Chicago florists before choosing Ester's Private Garden and I would 100% book her again! From the first beautiful proposal to our continuing conversations, Miriam was able to take my color vision to life. Coming up with a colorful palette that blended summer and fall colors (a September wedding) was no easy feat but Miriam was able to execute so full! I was in awe of my flowers from my bridal bouquet to ceremony stands, and our grand staircase. Out tables were event a gradient of colors and a last add-on of incorporating fruit, she did it and did it perfectly. We got numerous compliments from our florals and many guests begged to take center pieces home. Aside from the quality of her work, she is overall a good person. So friendly, sympathized with the stress of wedding planning, and really just felt like a friend and someone on my team. I am so appreciative of her and can not recommend her enough!
