Fairy Godmothers, Inc.

ieces were beautiful and we received a lot of compliments on them. I would highly recommend her!

dding. Which I have to admit was a little lost in the beginning but she definitely helped me narrow down what I wanted for the day. She showed me several arrangements she’s previously made for other weddings and events. I also brought my mother in to meet with Patty and confirm the contract. She went through much of the same process with my mother to make her comfortable. We also had Patty complete several hours of “day-of” coordination to ensure the entire evening went smoothly in addition to the floral setup. Patty produced lovely floral arrangements for the dining tables as well as several other that were placed throughout the venue. The flowers lasted for almost a week and a half after the ceremony. I would definitely use Patty again for an event.

! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Patty and Fairy Godmother's to take care of your wedding needs :) Thank you, Patty!

ments that we could have imagined. She focused on every detail, things that I hadn't even thought of...making the grooms boutonniere special, matching the corsages for our moms and grandma to their dresses, cake flowers, ribbon color, centerpiece displays, finding ways to use the flowers from the church at the reception, etc. Patty knows what she is doing and takes the stress out of this part of the process. I would absolutely recommend her without hesitation. I was truly, beyond thrilled with the flowers in every way! I can't say enough positive and great things about Fairy Godmothers!!

h all of the different vendors, even ordering deluxe port-o-potties for the comfort of our guests. Patty was also quick on her feet, and helped secure a beautiful tent when the forecast predicted rain for our big day and was available when the set-up happened days before to make sure all went smoothly. Additionally, she was a great mediator and communicator when my mom and I had disagreements (which is sure to happen!). I can't recommend her and her services enough.

y time we would meet with her or speak with her on the phone or via e-mail, she was always there for us and ready to give any advice we needed at the moment. Unlike most florists, her services started the day we hired her. She wanted to meet with us right away, to discuss our idea for our wedding (both ceremony and reception), and she was flexible about the plan. We wanted beautiful flowers and decoration, but also something that was affordable. We told her this, and she was able to put a plan together that was both what we wanted and what was in our price range, which I really appreciated. Patty was responsive, diligent, and creative. I obtained some ideas for flowers and arrangements from magazines and advertisements, as well as her website, but also wanted the decorations to feel like me. I really didn't know what to expect and was blown away on the day of our wedding. Patty made the venue look like a fairytale - the flowers were everything we wanted; the arrangements tasteful, fresh, and beautiful; and Patty was on top of everything. She came to the venue herself to make sure everything looked the way it should, helped to turn the ballroom around after the ceremony and in transition into the reception, and everything - from the bouquets to the centerpieces - were flawless. I will definitely ask Patty to help in the future with any floral and decorative needs I will have. Patty, thank you for making our wedding as unforgettable and stunning as it turned out to be!

legant look for my flowers and Patty did just that. The flowers for the reception were gorgeous as well. Everyone kept telling me how beautiful the center pieces were. I'm so glad Patty was my florist. My wedding flowers were perfect!

ry end. She also does wedding coordination! She is fantastic and you barely even know she's there because she's so busy taking care of EVERYTHING. I couldn't imagine my day being so perfect without her. She did our centerpieces, decorated our entire reception room, helped the wedding party get ready, set up food and snacks for guests, etc. A true fairy godmother!

ate all our colors and personal touches, and she executed every last detail we discussed. The bouquets were GORGEOUS, the groomsmen boutonnieres were all perfectly pinned and I do not know how we could have ever had the church and venue set up without her help!!! THANK YOU!

corsages and boutonnieres were perfect and also made final arrangements to our centerpieces prior to the reception. I would absolutely recommend her!

versation I knew Patty has a passion for what she does and I felt comfortable giving her the job to design my wedding flowers. Our color was blue and the other florists I had talked to she did not make it seem like a ridiculous color for flowers, and she actually suggested a few flowers for me to look up. We met with her only once on our few trips back and my husband and I both loved her ideas. She came early the day of the wedding to set our gazebo display up and give us our flowers. Between getting ready and pictures I wasn't able to see the final product until I walked down the aisle. I was in awe!! It all came together so perfectly and I couldn't have asked for anything better! After the ceremony the flowers were moved into the reception for further display and to be enjoyed the rest of the night. Thank you Patty for everything!

e the distance to accommodate our wedding day, yet we still had the most perfect looking flowers! There were a lot of things that I was unsure of as far as things I wanted, and just trusted her to put together beacuse of it. I am SO glad I did, as everything she did was not only beautiful but matched perfectly with our theme and vibe! We have had never ending compliments from our guests as well; not just the beauty but the creativity behind it all! Our wedding day absolutely could not have been executed without Patty, there is no doubt about it. My husband and I are forever thankful for her working so hard to make our day as PERFECT as it turned out to be!

tle money as possible on flowers because I didn't feel like they would make much of a difference in a wedding as small as mine. Patty set me straight and showed me how much these things can make a difference especially in a wedding like mine. I spent more than I had originally intended, but I will tell you that the end result was worth every penny. Patty had some great ideas and is extremely creative. I met with her to plan everything and gave her some basic ideas such as colors and themes and she turned that into the most beautiful wedding I could ever imagine. So many of our guests complimented us on the decor and flowers and we gave away the centerpieces because we hated to see them go to waste. Everything was just perfect the day of too. I had to worry about nothing and all of the other vendors commented on how great she was to work with. I would definitely recommend Patty and use her again. She was a pleasure to work with and she is not only florist, but really an event designer who will make yours shine. One note is that they do not take credit cards, but they were very flexible with payment scheduling.

stened to my ideas and always answered, “of course!” to any request. The flowers were more beautiful than I could have imagined, guests are still talking about them! Patty’s attention to detail and schedule made my wedding day move seamlessly and I was confident that if any crisis were to arise, Patty would have it 100% under control. I highly recommend Fairy Godmothers for wedding planning, décor, flowers and day of coordination. A big thank you to Patty for making our day unbelievably awesome!

d and organized and answered all of my questions. She also worked with me on my set budget for flowers. On the day of my wedding I didn't have to worry one bit. She arrived at the venue before I did and set up the ceremony decorations and reception decorations. My bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, flower girl arrangement, MOB & MIL corsages, and all of the mens boutonnieres looked amazing! Patty was a sweetheart to work with and I would highly recommend her as your florist!

nd I loved my hall tables (they also came in and set up the church and hall themselves which was a great help) it might be pricey if you have a huge bridal party or guest list of tables like me, but worth every penny, esp if you dont know exactly what you want or need ideas! I even took floral design classes downtown after my wedding because i loved my flowers and decorations so much and wanted to learn for at home! highly recommended!

e knew we were not going to go anywhere else! Fairy Godmothers was wonderful, they made sure our flowers were exactly what we envisioned and that we had everything we needed for our perfect day. We had a pretty tight budget, but they worked with us to make sure we could have our dream floral arrangements, while still fitting within the parameters of our budget. The day of the event when the flowers arrived, we could not have been more pleased. Everything was there, labeled, and organized for who they were for, and where they needed to go. And on a day when there is a lot going on, that was one less thing we had to worry about, and we really appreciated that. The flowers were so fresh, and they had accents of winter evergreen and silver just like we had envisioned. Fairy Godmothers took care of us from start to finish, they made sure we had everything we needed and then some. They even called us after we had someone pick them up and deliver them to the house to ensure that we had everything we needed, and that it was all perfect. We LOVED working with Fairy Godmothers, and we LOVED the floral arrangements. Everyone complimented on how beautiful everything was and how perfect the arrangements fit into the theme of our big day. We recommed Fairy Godmothers 100% and know that if you go with them, you will not be diapointed. They did a fantastic job and we couldn't have been happier. Thank you Fairy Godmothers for making our special day everything we every imagined!

her pushy vendors we had met. Patty took in all of our ideas and the idiosyncrasies of what we wanted and delivered better than we could have even imagined. We received so many compliments and more than one person told me it was “magical.” In addition to her knowledge of the best seasonal product and her skillful delivery of beautiful arrangements, Patty was also a trusted coordinator for all of the extras, like transporting our delicate vintage cake topper and placing it expertly with the fresh flowers on the cake, or hauling our place cards and other knickknacks so we wouldn’t have to stress about making sure those got out in time or anything was forgotten during the hubbub of the big day. I was at ease knowing that she could handle everything with our venues and other vendors professionally. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

d if she could run with it and I said yes... And my flowers were breathtaking..... My alter( she made herself) was perfect and I didn't have to worry. About anything. I wanted a romantic rustic evening wedding and that's exactly what I got. Lanterns, candlelight and beautifully fresh arrangements. I would use her again for other services of I ever get the chance. :0). Thanks fairy godmothers.

She saw to every detail, and stayed with us through the service to take care of any problems that might arise. I would highly recommend using Fairy Godmothers.

as beyond my expectations! I would use them again for any event needing a florist!

hing up and took everything down and was really there for me on my wedding day. I didn't have to worry about anything and it all turned out so beautiful! All of my guests keep commenting on how beautiful the flowers and decorations looked!

ivered exactly what I requested! I would absolutely recommend fairy godmothers!!

disappointed. She also helped coordinate little details at the venue and before I walked down the aisle. She had a warmth and concern for our day and my husband and I knew we liked her from the start. She gave us a charming centerpiece when we first met her too, which just made us feel embraced. I like that she is not a huge corporate store, it's very charming in her place of business. Not too mention it helps keep costs down! Overall, great pricing for good quality with experience, knowledge and great insight to your vision.

ions and ideas in order to satisfy my budget. On the day of the wedding, the flowers were just as I imagined if not more beautiful. She had back up baskets for the flower girls because one of them got nervous that her basket was two big. I was able to rely on her as a florist and vendor that actually cared. I would recommend her to anyone!!

rried in the city and she wove the Chicago landscape throughout! It was gorgeous! The flowers for the wedding party were just as beautiful and of the highest quality. I was able to bring many of the bouquets home and they lasted over a week a great reminder of our wedding. I would highly recommend the fairy godmothers- their name speaks for themselves.

was being planned. Most of her interaction with Patty was via email and through conversation with me. Patty listened attentively, quickly comprehended the look of the wedding and recommended flower arrangements and bouquets that were perfect and beautiful. Other than the flowers, we had the wedding planned at the point we began working with Patty. However, the coordination role was incredibly helpful. Patty helped manage the contracts to make sure all of the vendors were well prepared for the event and had all of the pertinent details for the day. She also interfaced with the stationery store, oversaw the printing of various items, including the handwritten table cards, and she prepared the program for the wedding ceremony. Patty's experience factor was invaluable. She knows everything about weddings and wedding receptions. The day of the wedding, everything came together beautifully and Patty was there make sure of it!

l my vendors, there was something to complain about with each, but not for the florist! I love Fairy Godmothers and I would recommend them to anyone!

stic/woodland wedding. She had endless ideas and many options. I had a very plain looking cake. Patty made a cute looking birch wood top to hold the flowers in on the cake. She also had a vendor that sold birch wood slabs that I could have the cake set on. This made the cake look expensive for a small price. I wanted to recycle some of my flowers from the ceremony to the reception to save money. I was planning on buying mason jars to put baby's breath in as centerpieces. Patty took care of all of this and threw in the mason jars at no extra cost! Then of course there was my bouquet and the bridesmaid's bouquet! I could not have imagined up a more beautiful collection of flowers. In fact, the makeup artist said when she saw them, "I have worked at a lot of weddings and I have never seen such a unique looking bouquet." I had the flower girls wear crowns and they were adorable. The groomsmen boutonnieres were very masculine and were very appropriate for the wedding theme. Finally, I wanted to say that Patty is so much more than a florist. For both me and my sister's wedding she stuck around for the ceremony and helped keep things organized. For both our weddings she helped us know when it was time for us or our wedding party to walk down the aisle (something we both hadn't thought about very much while planning our wedding). If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely go with the Fairy Godmothers.

d. The bouquets were a mix of light green hydrangeas and vendella ivory roses. The centerpieces were two dozen of vendella roses with some greenery. And most importantly it was reasonably priced. She even suggested and tastefully added a little bling to the ribbons on the centerpiece vases. One thing during the process, I wish Patty had more pictures from her previous weddings, so it would be easier for me to pick and choose and feel more confident that I will get exactly what I envision. But we did a sample centerpiece before the wedding, tweaked a few things and it was great!

a no go. The bouquets were fabulous. We had her do our table cards, reception decorations, address our invitations, etc. She even mended a torn dress on one of our Jr. Bridesmaids just minutes before the ceremony! A great, talented woman to work with!

ere jealous) & EVERYONE who views our wedding pictures compliments the flowers & my tulips @ an October wedding in Chicago! Fairy Godmothers were all around perfect!!!

ing was perfect right through the reception. Fairy Godmothers worked directly with our caterer to ensure complete success. Fairy Godmothers delivered the most beautiful flowers while contributing a creative edge to our ceremony. Our day would not have been the same without her. I would HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone looking for an amazing florist and fairy godmother on their special day.

st to sit and chat. She was so detail-oriented and designed flowers for our wedding that perfectly fit our "country meets the city" theme. From the vintage tablecloths she had made to the mason jars with perfectly tied twine to my great-grandmothers rosary wrapped around my bouquet of peonies and hydrangeas, no detail was too small. She provided much more than a florist. She was right there with me at the church up until the moment I walked down the aisle, making sure my dress was fluffed and my veil was straight. We would whole-heartedly recommend Patty to anyone for any event. Her sweetness and creativity made the experience incredibly enjoyable for us.

in my wedding planning process. Patty listened to my vision, offered suggestions, and helped me create exactly what I wanted. I had a shabby chic theme at my reception and we used mason jars for candles at the tables and used birch bark vases to hold the flowers. Patty offered a number of ideas and suggestions for each segment of the flowers which opened me up to other alternatives I didn't know about and helped me stay within my budget. She is very flexible. She also helps out on the day of. She was there for our photos before the wedding, during the ceremony she fixed my train before I walked down the aisle and she made sure the reception hall had all of our finishing touches in place. Weddings can be stressful to plan and Patty and Fairy Godmothers made everything so easy! If you want beautiful flower arrangements, professional service, and a florist who is extremely personable use Fairy Godmothers. Absolutely amazing!!!

had a wonderful experience. Thank you very much.

rk with any budget so you can still have amazing flowers even on a low budget. Patty listened to exactly what I wanted and made it happen. In addition to flowers she also makes very nice invitations and programs and wedding favors as well as a lot of other things. She is very flexible and was able to make changes when I asked her to without any problems. Not only did she deliver the flowers but she stayed for the ceremony to help out with fixing my dress and other last minute details that didn't even have to do with the flowers. She is very dependable and works extremely hard. You will not regret using Fairy Godmothers.

uld not have been more pleased.

bridal party bouquets were beautiful.

iful. I was so thrilled. They had depth and texture and it was clear she put her expertise into each one. Patty was easy to work with, helpful and kind, and she truly seemed to enjoy her work, which showed in the arrangements. She and her team were on time, so prepared, and went above and beyond to make sure the ceremony went on without a hitch. You won't be disappointed with Fairy Godmothers!

s gorgeous floral arrangements for your wedding! Everyone loved our flowers--they were bright, bold and beautiful! Patty really is your Fairy Godmother on the day of your wedding--she arranges all of your bows and flowers for your ceremony; she ensures your aisle runner is ready to go for your procession and she is there just before you walk down the aisle to fluff your dress your help you in any way. She truly is the best!

great suggestion. I remember leaving my meeting with her and calling my mother right away and told her " I met with the florist! She is amazing and you will love her!" On the wedding day, Patty showed up right one time and the flowers blew me away!! They were so beautiful and fit with the picture my mind had made all those months ago. While at the ceremony, Patty helped line up the bridal party and get us down the aisle. Due to the fact that I didn't have a day of planner for my ceremony site, Patty was a god send. I still haven't told her how much it meant to me that she got our ceremony underway and kept the pacing on track, but I am sure she will find out when she reads this review! :) So as you can see, if you want personal service and someone you can trust, please call Patty. She was by far one of my favorite vendors through the whole process. THANK YOU PATTY!!

like you are being treated like an individual, since they focus on your and ONLY your wedding for the day. They were at the church early to make sure everything went smoothly; we were so comforted by the fact that it was like having several additional sets of hands to help out with the inevitable minor things that need to be addressed prior to a ceremony. As for the flowers, they could not have been more stunning. Everyone who attended our wedding was floored by their color, design, and presence. Years from now, when we reflect on our special day, we will come back to the flowers and how Patty made us feel like we made the best decision possible by choosing Fairy Godmothers. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

ey would still be able to help me too! I could not have been more relieved and, when the day arrived, I could not have been more thrilled with the flowers that were delivered! Patty made my vision come to life with a few of her own personal (and beautiful) touches! People were raving about the flowers and they look spectacular in the photos. Working with Fairy Godmothers was a fantastic experience and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a vendor who will take the time to listen, offer excellent advice and who can be trusted to make sure the product and services are exactly as desired. Thank you Patty and Fairy Godmothers!

saying how great the flowers looked throughout the night. Patty was extremely helpful in taking the vision I had for the flowers and turning it into a reality. In addition to the flowers, Patty acted as a day of planner / coordinator on my Wedding Day and made my day considerably less stressful. I can't stress enough how happy my Husband and I were with Patty and her entire team. We would highly recommend Fairy Godmothers to other couples and we look forward to working with her in the future. -Bre

ing off to set up the reception. I highly recommend this company!

in every way she could and was more than willing to accommodate my every desire. I HIGHLY recommend her for any event, especially a wedding!

oking for! The flowers were AMAZING...from the hydrangeas on the pews to the centerpieces at the reception. She even decorated the outside of the church and the fencing! One of the things that I especially liked was her willlingness to transport everything from the church to the reception, even disassembling some pieces, to provide decor at the reception venue--more bang for our buck! We received many, many compliments and the flowers were a huge part of a beautiful day. And it was Patty who "fluffed" my daughters gown and made sure that she looked perfect right before her walk down the aisle. I will most definitely use Fairy Godmothers in the future.

wers were all potted plants like ivy and ferns that still look amazing in my house today. Everything was fabulous. She helped my day-of coordinators set up everything, even the stuff that wasn't her responsibility. She was energetic and wonderful in general.

mfortable going into the wedding day knowing that everything was going to be perfect and it was! The colors and arrangements in the bouquets and centerpieces were so perfect, you could tell each one was carefully crafted. The attention to detail at the church and reception was magnificent. I highly recommend FGs.
