It was a wonderful experience working with Kelly and Janessa for our wedding! My husband and I had a winter wedding at a nature museum, and Fleur made my vision of the wedding come to life. I wanted it to be wintry but also natural and organic, and the flowers made everything look breathtaking and magical.
I had an initial meeting with the owner, Kelly, who asked me a lot of questions about my vision. After looking through her portfolio and comparing pictures on my Pinterest board, she put a nice proposal together. I love Kelly and Janessa's focus on loose and free flowing arrangements. I know it sounds cheesy but I actually cried the first time I read the proposal because it just sounded so beautiful. In the arrangements were succulents, white anemones, ivory roses, amnesia roses, blue thistle, white genestra, and fresh cedar. When I saw the flowers on the day of the wedding, I nearly cried again. One of my favorite things Janessa did was decorating our chuppah with garlands of cedar and filled in with roses. It was the most beautiful ceremonially space. Additionally, she prepared flowers for me to pin in my hair, which was the perfect way to complete my bridal look. I also appreciated how Janessa posted a lot of photos of the day to Instagram so I could look back and reflect on the day after the wedding, and she seemed genuinely just as excited as I was about everything which was nice.
I initially went to Fleur because they are located in our neighborhood in Logan Square, and my husband often brings me back lovely flowers from there on special occasions. I also love going in just to look at their displays. I found out later that they are also top rated in Martha Stewart magazine which is pretty cool. Their prices are the same as other florists in the area as well. It was a great pleasure to work with Fleur at our wedding!
