The flowers they provided were fresh and beautiful, perfectly complementing our wedding's color scheme. The centerpieces were stunning without overpowering the tables, and the flower girl's basket with the delicate petal pouches was a lovely touch. Kim, the owner, took the time to get to know us and our vision, offering thoughtful suggestions while also listening to our ideas. The only aspect that didn't quite meet our expectations were the bouquets, which were a bit too heavy with long green stems, making them difficult to hold during the ceremony and photos. Overall, An English Garden Wedding & Event Florals played a crucial role in bringing our wedding day to life in a beautiful and memorable way.

One highlight was when they surprised my husband by playing a Lord of the Rings song as his groomsmen walked down the aisle, which was such a thoughtful and personal touch.

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!

We are forever grateful we chose Michelle as our wedding day photographer. From the planning to the wedding day she was prepared & made everything so easy. Our engagement photos & wedding photos are perfect and she captured our story just the way we envisioned even including our perfect puppy Maui.

We received our entire wedding gallery so quickly after the wedding. Michelle is beyond professional and truly makes sure your wedding is photographed just the way you want.

Since day 1, Jake was incredibly easy to work with. He was communicative, professional, kind, and made the entire process feel effortless. We chose a package that included a 1-hour engagement session and brought our pups, Lily & Layla. He was amazing with them and did such a great job incorporating them into our photos. On our wedding day, everything went perfectly. Jake even arrived slightly early to the hotel and immediately sprung into action. From meeting us at our main photo location to guiding us through poses, he made us feel comfortable and confident the entire day. He captured our ceremony and reception beautifully, and even took us out for sunset photos — which I am SO glad he did. We just received our preview gallery and are absolutely blown away by how beautiful the photos are so far. We are beyond excited to see the rest. We truly could not recommend Jake more!

  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Bradley, IL

I often tell people that when you get to do what you love, you never feel like you're actually working. I started my journey in Makeup Artistry in 2017 and since then I couldn't imagine doing anything else. My brides and other clients mean the world to me. I want to create an experience that is both personal, exciting, and FUN. It is an absolute honor to get to be a part of your wedding day and I look forward to working with you!

Kate was absolutely wonderful to work with for my wedding makeup! She is incredibly friendly, communicative, and professional, and made the entire process feel easy and stress-free from the start. She was so helpful during booking and checked in as we got closer to the wedding day, which I really appreciated. My trial went great, and Kate was very flexible when it came to a few tweaks I wanted for the wedding day. On the wedding day itself, Kate and her associate were both fantastic. My bridesmaids, MOG, and MOB absolutely loved both ladies - they helped everyone feel beautiful, confident, and comfortable throughout the morning. They also were timely arriving and kept on schedule with 12 women needing makeup services. Most importantly, my makeup looked amazing and lasted all day with only minimal touch-ups — through photos, dancing, and everything in between! I would highly recommend Kate to any bride looking for a talented, reliable, and genuinely kind makeup artist. Thank you, Kate!!!

Mark from Special Moments Services did an excellent job officiating our wedding ceremony. From the initial email and text communication, we could tell he was professional and experienced. He smoothly guided us through the entire process, ensuring our ceremony went off without a hitch. As an ordained minister, Mark knew exactly what to do to make our special day memorable.

Stems and Petals 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • Florist
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Bradley, IL

Stems and Petals is a floral design studio based in the suburbs of Chicago, creating fresh, natural, and modern floral designs for weddings, events, and community workshops. We believe flowers should feel effortless and expressive, and we love helping people bring their vision to life — whether it’s a dreamy wedding bouquet, a styled installation, or a fun bouquet bar. Every design is crafted with care, creativity, and a love for meaningful moments.

I truly cannot recommend Mackenzie enough! From the very beginning of wedding planning, she took my vision and Pinterest board and transformed it into a reality that exceeded every expectation I had. Every floral arrangement was absolutely breathtaking, and the attention to detail was beyond anything I could have imagined. Her talent and creativity are unmatched. Not only did she create all of the arrangements for our wedding, but she also has been a part of our Mother’s Day and bridal shower, creating works of art for those events as well. Beyond her incredible work as a florist, Mackenzie is one of the kindest and most professional people I've had the pleasure of working with. On our wedding day, she went so far beyond her role. She wasn't just there to set up flowers—she was there making sure we were taken care of every step of the way. She brought us water and drinks, grabbed my phone when I needed it, and helped with so many little things that made such a big difference. Having someone so thoughtful and genuinely invested in making our day perfect meant the world to us. I am incredibly grateful for everything Mackenzie did. She made our wedding day more beautiful, less stressful, and more special than I could have ever hoped for. I will continue to support her however I can, and she will always be my very first recommendation to anyone looking for an amazingly talented florist. Thank you, Mackenzie, for going above and beyond and helping make our dream wedding come to life! You’re the best!

We are so thrilled that we chose Petal Station for my daughter’s florals for her wedding. They were professional, responsive, and had so many fantastic ideas to help make the vision my daughter had come to fruition. From the zoom calls trying to decide on what types of flowers to use for bouquets, centerpieces, etc. to the actual wedding day (that had a couple of snags on our end but Kitty was so patient and accommodating), Petal Station was just the best. My daughter’s bouquet was exquisite and the bridesmaids bouquets were just beautiful. The centerpieces all turned out exactly the way we had envisioned. Thank you so much, Petal Station for helping our daughter’s wedding be the beautiful event that it was!
