    I'm using A Perfect Petal in Mt. Prospect.  I'm not getting married until November, but I'm confident that Rebecca understands what I want and will provide it on the wedding day.

    I recently booked Joyce Grattoni. I booked her through a recomendation of a fellow Chicago knottie. I met with her, and she works out of her home, and absolutely fell in love with her work. Joyce taught floral design at a local college and is a certified florist. If you would like further information about Joyce's services, please page me on this board.

    I also recommend Joyce Grattoni very highly. She did our wedding in February and did a wonderful, fantastic job. huge WP and 3 sets of parents and 5 sets of grandparents and she managed to do spectacular work while coming in under our budget. We also had fantastic altar pieces and flower centerpieces on each table. She has awesome ideas, a real eye for color and arrangement and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Full review in my bio. email me at dizzyc1018 at yahoo if you want to see some pictures. The flowers were breathtaking and one of the highlights of the wedding!

    We're using Kristen from KIO Kreations as well, for our June 2010 wedding.  She has been really great to work with so far & gets wonderful reviews on here.  She really goes above & beyond for her brides.  As far as a budget, I told her mine & she was able to find ways for me to stay within it.  I think you def. get more than what you are paying for service-wise with her.

    I'm using Mary at Bride's Choice Wedding Flowers in Lisle. We just met with her, and she does amazing work. All my flowers (4 BM, 4 GM, FG, altarpiece, head table, all other personal flowers) are $895.
