About

I work to use unique products to create a customized look, unlike traditional bouquets. I use foliage from our woods and find as many organic pieces as I can. I work with both local growers and warehouses to achieve the exact design my clients are looking for. I came from the world of a professional mental health therapist, flowers were my own therapy. My business kept growing, and I finally made the switch to quit the office grind a pursue a creative passion and dream job.

Lauren saved my wedding. Really, she did. Lauren stepped up to the plate and hit a home run with little direction from a very particular bride. She is a wealth of knowledge and insight for all things wedding - not just floral design. Lauren truly went above and beyond with suggestions and ideas that no other floral designer had even come close to. My asks were a little unconventional at times but Lauren was able to completely understand the ideas floating in my head and help make them a reality. She not only created, arranged, and table styled all of my centerpieces, she created additional floral pieces to decorate our arbor, a large garland to decorate our arbor, a very large bouquet for me, gorgeous bouquets for my bridesmaids, unconventional greenery bouts for the guys, and a floral collar for our dog! She also took the time to help decorate my cake once the baker arrived on site AND "fixed" an arrangement my mother had commissioned from a florist in town. Did I mention she also helped the band get set up and saved me from family members "needing" things while I was getting ready. Talk about a life saver! Every other vendor I had at my wedding (including my photographer who handles a lot of larger Chicago weddings) said that Lauren's work and selections were some of the most gorgeous they had ever seen. One of my other vendors is actually in talks to hire Lauren for her own wedding next year! I was hesitant at first due to me never using Thumbtack before (Lauren was my first!) but I don't think I can ever top the joy and amazing work that Lauren did for our wedding.

Emily! Thank you so much for your review! Of course, I loved all of your styling and the fact that you saw my role as an artist to be unique and gave me the freedom to really do my job well! I am so glad that your wedding turned out so beautifully, from florals, the weather, and of course YOU! And don't even get me started on Ernest again, if I could steal that pup I would! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now let's go get that Cuban sandwich I promised you! :)

Lauren was just incredible! Her flowers were so beautiful and she was so great to work with. Everything she did was beautiful, but I especially loved my flower crown and the garland we used on the reception tables. On my wedding day the baker delivered the wrong cake. Seriously, this cake was the opposite of what I wanted and was so ugly. Lauren and our location manager got the baker to come back and re-ice the cake. Lauren then decorate it with flowers and made an ugly cake into an absolutely beautiful cake. She helped save the day. She was very affordable, much better priced then a lot of the other florists I spoke too and was great to work with!

Lauren did amazing as my wedding florist. She took the time to get to know exactly what style I was looking for and went above and beyond with it. I was blown away when it came to wedding day! I would highly suggest Lauren for your event. She will work with you through the whole process. She is also flexible with any changes that may need to be made.

Choosing Lauren for my flowers was an easy decision as I have seen a lot of her work on Social Media. I knew her through some college friends, so when I found out she was willing to travel to my wedding 4 hours away, I was so excited. From the beginning, Lauren was SO excited and enthusiastic ; she was willing to do anything to make my wedding exactly how I pictured it, all within the budget I needed it to be. What I loved about her from the start, on top of her super fun and outgoing personality, was the open and honest money conversation. She told me "you tell me what your budget is, and I will make it happen." She even lent me some of her own vases and decorations to add the perfect touch to my ambiance at the wedding. I loved the open dialogue Lauren and I had throughout the wedding planning process. It was ongoing as we bounced ideas back and forth and she was available to answer questions at any time of the day (special thanks to her toddler for getting her up early in the morning.) We met for lunch so I could get some extra questions answered and she gave me some great, inexpensive options for church decorating. She even went with me to Hobby Lobby and helped me arrange the most beautiful fake flower focus point for the arbor. It was stunning. She is so talented. On the wedding day, Lauren took care of business. She went above and beyond to make not only the reception look beautiful, but the church as well. She moved plants and trees that were around my church and created this breathtaking display surrounding the front arch. Above and beyond is the only way I can really describe it. She even created a flower crown out of the extra flowers she had left- which I adored and wore at my reception. The flowers themselves stole the show. People couldn't stop talking about the bright colors and the giant peonies. It is clear she has a real talent for this, but not only that, she is fabulous to work with and you will more than likely find yourself with a new friend after the wedding. Trust me, you will miss talking to her. I would recommend her a million times over. She took my vision and somehow exceeded my expectations for half the price of what it would have been elsewhere. Thank you Lauren!
