    Wedding Florist- DLN Floral Creations

    Darlene was absolutely amazing to work with! She is so knowledgable and creative!! I know very little about floral arrangements, visions, etc and she took my scarce ideas and made them into something so beautiful! She did everything with such care and I truly loved working with her! So impressed and I will definitely be giving her name to everyone I know! Beautiful work all around!!

    Hello Kelly! We did it....WOOHOOO! After all the planning it came together beautifully. I will say the pavilion at Dananda looked amazing! It was a pleasure working with you and Jack. I can't wait to see how your relationship blossoms even more and all the new adventures for you two to come. So exciting! Thank you again for letting us be apart of your wedding celebration. Talk to you soon. HUGS!

    Rustic Elegance Perfectly Arranged

    Darlene and her team at DLN Florist did an exceptional job for our daughter’s wedding at Fishermen’s Inn in Elburn, IL. From our first Zoom meeting through every call and email, Darlene was thoughtful, professional, and truly collaborative. She listened to our daughter's vision for a “rustic” formal barn wedding and incorporated her favorite flowers bringing it to life beautifully. Her flower and design suggestions perfectly complemented the venue and wedding party attire. She was also mindful of cost, repurposing arrangements from the ceremony for the reception. On the wedding day, Darlene and her assistant were attentive and flawlessly in command eliminating any stress related to the floral details. We felt completely confident in her care and couldn’t recommend DLN Florist more highly.

    Amazing Experience

    Darlene made it so easy to work with her. We first met over zoom to get a feel of my vision which eventually lead to meeting up in person. Darlene always responded to my emails in a very timely manner and always made sure that everything fit into my vision. Day of the wedding I was absolutely in love with all the arrangements her and her team made. I could not be happier with how everything turned out!

    Hey Klaudia! Thank you so much and for letting us be apart of your Wedding Day. We really enjoyed working with you and Ryan. It was a perfect day for sure. We all loved the geo shapes and the sage accents. I wish you many, many years of happiness and love together. Can't wait for the Nicole's photos. Talk/see you soon!

    OBSESSED!

    We loved working with Darlene! She was so easy to work with and made my wedding dreams come to life. The bouquets and centerpieces she made were absolutely stunning. If we had to do it all over again, I would choose to work with Darlene over and over again!
