Need help with this vendor....

Hey everyone.... so I'm starting to stress here.  FI and I are looking for a florist and can't seem to find anyone we really like.  We live in Lake in the Hills and would like to find someone in the NW burbs.  Any suggestions?  We met with 1 florist and her quote was double what I told her our budget was!  Undecided

Thanks in advance!!

    I am using Blooming Creations out of Bartlett.  The owner is Kim and she's awesome.  She runs her business out of her house which reduces the cost.  She will meet you at your home or at a local Starbucks.  I live in Crystal Lake and she met us at a Starbucks in Barrington.

    We are using Tracy who owns Elegant Blooms.  She will come travel to you and is very reasonable and works with your budget.

    I HIGHLY RECOMMEND KIO KREATIONS!!!! Kristen is awesome and you can see ALL of her work on her website. She has gone above and beyond the call of duty with me.
    Kristen visited my venue with me, helped me create a color pallate, helped me choose my linen colors, (im clueless in the area of decor) she advised me what to do and what not to do in regards to decor at the site.

    I love kio, she is hip, and very talented artist as well as a florist.

    CALL HER.
