“If I could get married over and over again, I would use Sweety Dream every time. No exaggeration! My first meeting as virtual and she was able to fit around my schedule. During that call, I laid out my vision with different colors, flowers, and photos to help us. Svitlana listened, asked questions, and made adjustments to what flowers were available with going over budget. Svitlana made my vision and dreams come true when I saw the flowers on my wedding day! I couldn’t have imagined it any more perfect than it turned out. Thank you for elevating my vision!”

We pride ourselves on our curated luxurious designs, highlighting contemporary style with Neoclassical grandeur. We welcome the moody, those with a flair for the dramatic, and statement makers.

“We had such a wonderful experience working with Klaudia! From the very beginning, she was warm and supportive and understood our vision despite our inability to fully articulate it ourselves. We are not flower experts but we knew we wanted something whimsical and magical for our winter wedding. She spent tons of time with us, in person, on the phone, and via email, making sure our proposal was exactly what we wanted. She even stuck with us through some huge changes to our original wedding plan and budget and came up with creative solutions to make sure we got exactly what we wanted within what we could afford. Within just a few weeks of the wedding, we got some wild ideas to use some items of our own in the decorating, and she made that work for us as well. The day-of, our flowers were unspeakably gorgeous. Klaudia delivered the bouquets to us right on time, and decorated the venue beautifully (all while having a broken leg!!!! She is magic.) Our other vendors, guests and even strangers during our outdoor photos raved about the flower arrangements. They were super unique and special, and I never wanted them to be over! In fact, we still have my dried bridal bouquet hanging in our apartment three months later... In sum, hire Klaudia. She is the florist of dreams.”

“Polly and her talented team did a fabulous job designing my dream wedding! During our first meeting, Polly helped us nail down the color scheme and took time out of her busy schedule to get to know my family. We stayed over 2 hours at her shop when we had a half hour consultation appointment! Her floral team then provided a comprehensive document that listed the flowers in the bridesmaid bouquet, and examples of what the table center pieces could look like. One of my favorite features that Polly included in the wedding package was that the groomsmen had magnetic boutonnières. It was perfect for my younger brothers with Autism and it substantially reduced the amount of pricked fingers the day of the wedding. Leading up to the wedding weekend, Polly arranged for a floral preview where it was similarly set up to my reception layout. It was breathtaking to see in person! My family knew we were in great hands because of Polly’s keen attention to detail. Once the big day arrived, Polly and her team frequently communicated with my day-of coordinator to ensure the florals were on time. My family and bridal party heard o many compliments throughout the wedding that the flowers were the most beautiful arrangements they had ever seen. Polly brilliantly made the low center pieces in take home vases for guests so that they could be cherished afterwards. I was so obsessed with my bridal bouquet that I am preserving it into a serving tray for my new home. Polly is a tremendous artist and takes deep pride in her work. I cannot thank her enough for making my wedding magical and my dreams come to life!”

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

“This is the second time I’ve ordered from Flower Moxie, and they did not disappoint. My first order, for my wedding, was absolutely flawless. My second order, for my baby shower, was nearly perfect—only one type of flower arrived damaged. Thankfully, Liz was on top of it. She responded promptly, handled the situation professionally, and made things right. I really appreciated her excellent customer service. Overall, I had another great experience and wouldn’t hesitate to order from Flower Moxie again - the flowers stayed fresh for about a week after the event as well! Thank you to the team and props to Liz for amazing customer service!”

“We first met Exquisite Events & Floral Design and Bukky Garcia a year before our wedding at the Bridal Expo in Itasca, IL. Bukky’s booth immediately caught our attention—not just because of its elegant setup, but also because of the warmth and professionalism she exuded. From the moment we began speaking with her, it was clear she had a deep passion for what she does, paired with a level of expertise that made us feel instantly at ease. One of the first things that drew us to Bukky was her cultured approach and understanding. As fellow Nigerians, we bonded over our shared background, and this connection was pivotal for us. My wife and I had always envisioned a beautiful Nigerian-American wedding, but we weren’t quite sure how to blend the two cultures seamlessly. Being the first in our immediate families to host a formal wedding, we felt a bit overwhelmed with incorporating Nigerian traditions and customs into the day. Bukky, however, understood our vision right away and reassured us that she would help us create something truly special. While we had already started gathering a few essentials for the big day, Bukky and Exquisite Events & Floral Design stepped in and took it to a whole new level. From coordinating the logistics to fine-tuning every detail, Bukky handled it all with remarkable efficiency. She didn’t just come on board as a wedding planner and designer—she became the guiding force that brought our dream wedding to life. As a groom, I was completely blown away by her attention to detail, impeccable organization, and the way she communicated every step of the process. It wasn’t just about decorations or logistics; it was about her ability to take our ideas and elevate them beyond what we ever thought possible. Bukky shattered every expectation we had, turning our vision into something truly magical. Her expertise and dedication ensured that nothing was overlooked, and her cadence and poise throughout the planning process were second to none. The day of the wedding was nothing short of breathtaking. Bukky and her team transformed our venue in a way that left us and our guests speechless. Even the venue staff remarked that they had never seen their space look the way it did that day. It was as though she had taken a blank canvas and painted the most beautiful fairytale scene. Every arrangement, every detail, every touch was executed to perfection. But beyond her incredible work, Bukky gave us something even more meaningful—family. What started as a professional relationship quickly grew into something much deeper. She genuinely cared about us, not just as clients but as individuals. Even now, long after the wedding, we still check in with her from time to time because that bond remains strong. Looking back, we are beyond grateful to have had Bukky and Exquisite Events & Floral Design by our side for one of the most important days of our lives. She didn’t just help us plan a wedding; she created an experience we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for someone who can take your vision and make it a reality while surpassing your wildest expectations, look no further than Bukky Garcia. Our wedding was a dream come true, and we owe so much of that to her extraordinary talent and heart.”

“The flowers (on our order) came in large boxes, but they were not labeled, so it took a minute to get the flowers both identified and properly set up. To be fair we were warned about the process, but not about the length of time due to our inexperience. As a note, it took my fiancé 5 hours to process the flowers when first receiving them. I also did not have any updates from them from the time I ordered till they were being shipped. They were beyond more affordable compared to other florists, and the flowers arrived alive and in good spirits. We were able to keep the flowers alive for over four days!! Many of the flowers that we chose did not have specific instructions, so we had to follow the general reference for the flowers and hope for the best. Additionally, some of the flowers that we wanted were not in stock, and they were replaced for us with substitutes but were not notified until we had all of the flowers already delivered to us. Also, as a note, bloom culture uses third party sellers for their flowers, so the quality may vary depending on location. Our flowers were in good condition, and the company we had clearly took good care of the flowers prior to delivering them to us. Would we do it again? Probably not, but it made for good laughs and bonding time and we have stories to tell from it!”

The Local Petaler

  • Serves Gurnee, IL

The Local Petaler is a wedding and event floral design studio based in St. Charles, IL. The business started as a part-time venture just over 4 years ago in my mom's garage and quickly blossomed (awful pun) into a full-fledged career. With at least 100 weddings produced under The Local Petaler and countless others worked on as a freelance designer for other companies, I've done a little bit of everything at every venue. You're in good hands!

“Jen was incredible to work with. From the initial phone consultation, to day-of wedding set up, and all of the modifications and emails in between- she helped bring our vision to life. Our florals exceeded our greatest expectations. Even so many of our guests mentioned that they were the most beautiful arrangements that they have ever seen. Thank you so much, Jen. You made our wedding day so, so special.”
