Michaela Mantarian Floral Design Co. 

5.0

Bourbonnais, IL
  • Florist
  • Starts at $7,500

To inquire, please visit my website 🤍 Hey friend, My name is Michaela and I am a wedding planner turned florist with a heart to serve Chicagoland brides. I’ll take inspiration from your color palette and dream aesthetic and turn it into an exquisite floral design that tells the unique story of you!

Hiring Michaela as our florist was one of the best decisions we made while wedding planning. The florals were the most important thing to me in our outdoor, romantic, garden-inspired wedding, and I had struggled to find a florist that was able to bring my more whimsical, organic vision to life. From the start, Michaela made us feel comfortable and understood. Her communication is top-notch, walking us through the contract process and timeline, offering phone and zoom calls, and sending over extensive informational packets. She took the time to truly understand what we wanted, and no request was too out of left field! When I asked for a ceremony arch that looked more like a bush than an arch, I was so excited to see exactly what I had pictured waiting for me at the end of the aisle on my wedding day. And while the florals are stunning, Michaela is a beautiful person. Our outdoor garden ceremony was moved inside by a storm that hit 20 minutes before it was meant to start, and Michaela and her team were there to adjust and beautify the new ceremony location so that we barely felt a change. She was there to support us and make sure we had the wedding we dreamed of, severe thunderstorm and all!

What started out as a hobby, evolved into a great passion. With a camera on hand for every event, I spent my lunch money as a young kid developing films at the photo store. I became so fond of capturing as many organic moments as I can in photographs and fell in love with the idea of telling people's stories in images rather than words. I started venturing into professional photography right after my own wedding to my high school sweetheart, Erick, which was back in 2014. I LOVE everything wedding-related. My favorite to photographs are the wedding details, the bride and groom portraits and anything that will make me either cry or laugh!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Michelle was the best choice my wife and I made during our wedding preparations. Her photos are stunning. True professionalism, skill, and a keen eye for capturing those happy moments. But best of all, she has a warm personality which made working with her feel easy. She was able to photograph our Indian wedding with such class, that these memories will remain with us forever.

I don’t want to imagine how our wedding would have went without Christina & Lauren from I do Memorable Occasions. On a budget and initially hesitant about the need for Planning and Coordination, we chose the Partial Package for 2800, and it was worth every . From the beggining, Lauren and Christina took the reins and kept us moving forward meeting the deadlines we needed to. They helped us find the 5 vendors we selected, vetted them, got us to the prices we needed for each service, and stayed in touch with them along the way. Our wedding day coordinator Christina met with us in person at the venue, and twice over the phone (One of them with our photographer) to nail down the timeline of the day. She listened to our wants but more importantly kept us honest about what was possible and how long things would take. The day of the wedding Christina was simply amazing. She cooly worked under pressure both at the hotel and the church to get everyone ready to go on time. You can’t coordinate at the church without a coordinator or everything going thru Bridge/Groom. Then she went to the venue and worked quickly to get everything we wanted setup in just the right way. One there she kept us on schedule, herded the bridal party and our family, and kept the 2 of us on schedule. She always met us with a smile and 2 drinks when we needed them. The day was magical, our guests had a great time, and we have the memory we want. Worth every .

if you’re anything like i was and you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, take this as your sign. i was very adamant that a wedding planner did not fit into our budget. i had been stalking cylee’s social medias and was so jealous that i couldn’t have her. since im stubborn, i began to attempt to plan the wedding by myself. i remember thinking to myself “how hard could this be?” my question was quickly answered when i had 37 vendors emailing me the next morning. we ended up hiring cylee, thinking she would “just be a wedding planner.” we were quickly proved wrong. cylee has turned into a friend. she has seen me at my best, my worst, and everything inbetween that. the amount of mental breakdowns she talked me through while we attempted to fix my flowers, make my seating chart, guest drama, etc. cylee sat with me for 8 hours…yes you read that right!!! she sat with me for EIGHT HOURS building my arch florals, welcome sign florals, and fixing my bouquets. cylee hand made everything from my save the dates, invites, seating chart, bar signs, everything!!! she even helped my maid of honor with my wedding shower. i have told everyone in my life, and now i’ll tell all of you who are stalking her page and reading her reviews, cylee is the best decision i made throughout the process of getting married (besides my husband, of course). she knew what i wanted before i did, she knew what vendors to say no to, what vendors to show me, and even had special insights and relationships with each vendor. fitting her into our budget actually ended up saving us money due to her expertise in being able to make every dream i had come true. she is a true gift to the wedding industry and to this world. our wedding night was more perfect than we ever imagined, and none of it would have been possible without cylee.

Niko Menko Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, Niko understood the vision I had for our wedding photos based on the mood board I shared with him. We had a great meeting prior to the wedding day to go over all the details, which put me at ease knowing he was prepared. On the day of, Niko was incredibly professional and helpful - he guided us through posing and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. The final results were absolutely stunning and the quality of the work exceeded our expectations, especially considering how affordable his services were. I would highly recommend Niko Menko Photography to any couple looking for a talented and reliable wedding photographer.

Amy was amazing to work with. I had so many questions throughout the process leading up to the big day and she made sure each and every one was answered and don’t make me feel like I was asking too much. The attention and service we received the day of was more than I expected. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. The venue was everything I pictured. It all came out perfect. My husband and I were very pleased.

I have been taking photos since I was young. My love for photography really began after my high school yearbook/journalism class! I started taking photos on my own in 2022 on my mom’s camera. A simple hobby quickly became my passion, and then became Touch of Grace! After moving to Morris from southern Illinois, I quickly made so many new friends through photography. Since then my brand has exponentially grown. I am so excited to continue to watch Touch of Grace grow!

Grace is the package deal! She is super knowledgeable when it comes to photography and editing. She makes you feel extremely comfortable during your session. She knows many poses and tips to make your pictures turn out to their full potential. I couldn’t recommend her enough. I always am super impressed with my pictures and excited to book future ones.
