Our flowers
We partner with several local Illinois growers, as well as an Ecuador-based, family owned and operated company here in Chicago. We strategically order precise stem lengths to create less waste while designing, and all organic matter is composted with local company, Urban Canopy. We always display expired blooms to dry and reuse them in arrangements and wreaths which increases the lifespan for certain flower varieties.
About the shop
Our experienced, dedicated team provides essential kindness and care to every customer, order, and event. We offer in-store workshops where you and your guests will find yourselves surrounded by enthralling colors, displays, and scents. Browse our wide array of fresh floral options, or work with an on-site florist to create a custom arrangement. All packaging is reused as much as possible, then recycled or composted if eligible. While you’re with us, don’t forget to grab a locally sourced gift to accompany your flowers; including earrings, chocolates, candles, soap, art, essential oils, greeting cards, tote bags, children’s books, and more.
Outside the shop, you can find us bustling around the Chicagoland wedding scene. Our background in professional design means we offer a special touch when bringing each couple’s vision to life. We are committed to using an eco-friendly approach to everything we do. We’ll see you soon!
