La Petite Fleuriste 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Beverly Shores, IN

I love to create… I’m in my happy place when I’m able to create. My career in floral design started while I was still in college obtaining a business degree. Like a lot of college students, I spent my summer interning in an office environment…and quickly realized that wasn’t how I wanted to live my life. I needed something different, something that would allow me to more fully utilize my creativity and desire to design. When I returned to campus in the fall, I started working part time at a small floral shop. It wasn’t long before I knew I’d found my love and my passion.

“The florals Lori designed for our spring wedding were absolutely incredible. We completely trusted her design after discussing colors and ideas for centerpieces and let her do her magic. She was so wonderful to work with throughout the wedding planning process. My bouquet was stunning with peonies, roses and so many other flowers. Highly recommend Lori and then post wedding finding a floral preservation team to keep the flowers for years to come.”

The Faux Bouquets 
Rating: 5.0 (43 reviews)
  • Serves Beverly Shores, IN

Believe it or not, we often have people ask if our pictures throughout our website are showing a mix of fresh and faux and…no they aren’t! Although fresh florals are pretty, we are totally in love with poser-blooms all the way here and that’s what we design 100% of our orders with.

Awarded Best of Zola
“The Faux Bouquets was a fantastic florist to work with for our wedding. They had a straightforward, welcoming, and responsive communication style that made the entire process easy and stress-free. Their floral designs were elegant, affordable, and fully customizable to our preferences. They created a beautiful customized bouquet for my wife's bridal flowers and an elegant arch for our wedding ceremony. They even made last-minute adjustments to ensure we had the best possible designs. All of this was provided at an amazing price, and they even gave us a discount for being a local wedding. We highly recommend The Faux Bouquets to any couple planning their big day.”

Zombie Flowers 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Serves Beverly Shores, IN

After the global zombie apocalypse, in the early winter of '24, I heeded the call, picked up my shovel and shotgun and headed out to the fields. Protecting this wide world from the pestilence that is the zombie flower is no small feat, but I've learned to survive. I've made it my mission to hunt these jokers down, wrangle them together, and to serve to you dead off the proverbial platter. In these post-apocalyptic times, the zombie flowers make for excellent mantle trophies, but some have said they make awesome wedding bouquets. Whatever your cup of tea, these zombie flowers are one of a kind prepared just for you.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We contracted Zombie Flowers to provide bouquets for our runway models at Uncon Bridal Con. They were amazing at their communication leading up to the event and delivered the bouquets promptly according to our schedule the day of the event. Their punctuality gave our models enough time to rehearse the runway with their florals. Aside from their great professionalism, Zombie Flowers is a super creative company. Their floral arrangements can be described as wild, yet put together giving a very unique aesthetic that you can't find from Etsy. The best thing that brides say about their products is that their lightweight and already preserved for life. We cannot recommend them enough to add something special to your wedding day!”

VÉRA Elite Group is a Chicago-based wedding planning, floral design, and event décor studio creating celebrations that feel personal, intentional, and completely original. With 25+ years of experience, we design the entire environment—from planning and floor plans to florals, installations, tablescapes, furniture, lighting, and final styling. We start with how you want the day to feel, then build every detail around you. Whether you need full-service planning, floral and décor design, or complete venue transformation, VÉRA brings the vision, strategy, and production experience to make it unforgettable.

“From our very first conversation, Traci understood what I was trying to create—even when I couldn’t completely explain it myself. I had inspiration photos, random ideas, colors I loved, and absolutely no idea how to pull everything together. Somehow, she took all of it and turned it into something even more beautiful than what I had imagined. What makes Vera different is that they don’t just think about flowers. Traci sees the entire room—the florals, candlelight, tables, ceremony, placement, scale, flow and all of those little details you don’t realize matter until you see everything together. Walking into our reception for the first time honestly took my breath away. It felt like us, just elevated beyond anything we could have created ourselves. Our guests kept asking who designed everything, and the flowers were absolutely unreal. Traci also understands weddings from the production side, which made such a difference. She anticipated things we never would have thought about, worked seamlessly with our other vendors, and handled the details so we could actually enjoy our wedding instead of worrying about what was happening behind the scenes. If you’re looking for someone who will simply copy a Pinterest picture, VERA/GWE probably isn’t for you. If you want someone who will listen to you, understand your vision, and then create something completely personal and unforgettable—hire VERA. I would choose them again without hesitation.”
