Hi Ladies, I'm still trying to figure out what to do with my centerpeices and flowers. I have only met with one person so far for flowers, and I KNOW I need to shop around before making a decision. Can you please help me out with this?Thanks!!!!!

    We used Tammy from Field House Designs.  They aren't well known on the board, but do amazing work and were fairly inexpensive.

    We are using Flowers by Vacha’s out of Oak Florist. They have really reasonable prices and are easy to work with.

    We are using A Perfect Petal in Mt. Prospect.  I really feel like Rebecca understood exactly what I was looking for and her pricing, including delivery and tax was about the same as another place that was giving me money off on everything.

    We are using Kristen of Kio Kreations.  She is definitely affordable, and has great extra ideas that I would not have thought of.  I have been very DIY for my wedding, and she has given me a lot to think about.

    Tracy Cignek- Elegant Blooms. She's located in Naperville, but travels pretty much anywhere to meet you.  She isn't mentioned on this board, but she is great!

    We are using Joyce Grattoni. She works out of her home and is AIFD Certified. She used to teach floral design at one of the local colleges in the NW suburbs. No one came close to beating her prices and her past work really blew me away. As a matter of fact she came in at about half of our projected floral budget. We're not having floral centerpieces though, and weren't planning on it when I met with her. However, her prices are still amazing.Please page me if you want her info.

    We are using Kim at An English Garden in Mokena (anenglishgarden.com)  She's really great so far and very reasonable.  She's doing our centerpieces for $40, I just have to supply the vases!

    We are using Kristen from Kio Kreations and so far so good. She understood what I was going for and had great ideas as well. She is easy to work with and has helped me with other things as well besides flowers.
