Patty did the most breathtaking florals for my sisters bridal shower luncheon. From one meeting, she was able to bring the vision to life for the most stunning and whimsical table centerpieces that I could have only dreamed of: filled with color, height and texture that perfectly complemented the venue. As a favor, she also designed a “build your own floral bouquet” station where guests were able to (guided) pick from a selection of different flowers and stock, which she then arranged in the cutest vases with accentuating ribbons. The day off, Patty and her team were there and expertly helped take charge not just of flowers, but of the whole setup. She helped the guests make their bouquets look polished and perfect, and managed a super quick breakdown at the request of the venue. My guests were absolutely thrilled, and the arranges have lasted ages. Our venue, Summer House Santa Monica, said they were the most beautiful florals they ever had in the space! Absolutely thrilled with her work - could not recommend more!
My experience with Patty can only be summarized with one word: wow. From our first meeting, Patty was incredibly detailed and really spent the time going through our day and the vision we had. My mom, husband and I knew nothing about flowers, but Patty was so knowledgeable and I knew we had nothing to worry about. She is incredibly organized and made sure every detail was perfectly captured. I honestly felt comfortable deferring to her because she has such amazing taste in florals and decor. On our wedding day, Patty was a rockstar. She pinned the boys flowers at the church, delivered my flowers and set up everything at the reception. She went above and beyond to make sure we didn’t have to worry about anything- she was like our angel! The flowers were absolutely stunning - exactly what I had hoped and dreamed for. The centerpieces were perfectly grand and tied our reception together beautifully. Working with Patty was a dream come true, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is so kind, organized, patient and wonderful. Thank you for making our day so beautiful and run so perfectly, Patty!!
Patty from Fairy Godmothers Florist was a true delight to work with! Patty was very warm and inviting at our meetings and very punctual and detailed ! I had a lot of different ideas for our wedding flowers and Patty was able to take my ideas and create exactly what we were looking for! Not only is she a talented floral designer, but Patty went above and beyond with helping to set up for the ceremony and reception and we were blown away with how she made our ideas come to life even better than we could have imagined! I would recommend Patty to everyone!!
I was the MOB and we were coming into town for our daughters wedding. Patty had all of the bases covered, covered in floral beauty. From the rehearsal tables to the bouquets, to the reception space...her attention to all details was unsurpassed. Patty, I cannot thank you enough for your artistic creations. Nothing went unnoticed.
The entire process working with Patty was absolutely amazing! From the first meeting to everything on the day of our wedding, she made sure our day was perfect! Our flowers and centerpieces were absolutely perfection and we got so many compliments on them all night long! She went above and beyond to make sure everything at our reception venue was set up exactly how to wanted to ensure that our night was flawless.
Patty was amazing! She helped organize all of my centerpieces and the bouquets were beautiful. She helped us along every step of the way and even helped with all of the small details the day of our wedding. We definitely will recommend Patty for all our friends getting married soon!
Patty is a delight to work with! She is super knowledgeable, had great ideas and was willing to help make sure our special day went smoothly! I would highly recommend Fairy Godmothers to all of my friends and family! Thanks again, Patty!
Patty at Fairy Godmother's is simply amazing. She created the most beautiful bouquets, table arrangements, and decorations for my wedding on 10/01/2016. She took care of every detail and went the extra mile to make sure every request was taken care of - from incorporating family heirlooms into the wedding in just the right way to sewing one of the groomsmen's outfits a few hours before the wedding due to an outfit mishap!
Patty provided flexibility and worked with me on my budget, color scheme, and decorations to ensure it fit me and my personality, even when I wasn't sure what that looked like and changed my mind multiple times. Her creative passion and love for what she does shone through as she came up with the perfect ideas for my venue and created a beautiful romantic setting last minute when my wedding had to be moved indoor due to the weather.
Patty was a pleasure to work with and put me at ease from the first conversation. She asked all the right questions, covered everything, and was extremely responsive in all communications, even recommending vendors when we had one drop out a month before the wedding. She played a crucial part in ensuring everything went smoothly, right down to calming my nerves by sending me the sweetest message on the day of my wedding. I am honored to have met Patty and had the opportunity to work with her during this special time in my life.
Patty with the Fairy Godmothers is just absolutely phenomenal. Not only is she very talented in her work, but a really wonderful person to work with. She listened to what we liked, and I was amazed at how well she captured our personalities and style in her beautiful designs. She provided all I could have hoped for and more!!
The Fairy Godmother was a pleasure to work with you!
Planning a wedding can be very stressful, with many moving parts to worry about. But, the Fairy Godmother made the flowers one part of the wedding that I did not stress about. She was easy to talk with, and really tried to understand my vision. I had complete confidence in her. My bouquet and the rest of the flowers were everything I wanted and more. You will not be disappointed if you use the Fairy Godmother!
Patty goes out of her way to make your day absolutely perfect! She is kind, caring and wonderful to work with. She helped my day run smoothly and everything was beautiful!
I LOVE PATTY. She is so talented. Her flower arrangements are absolutely gorgeous and so affordable. I would use her over and over again. Thank you again Patty!!!!
From the moment we met Patty we knew that she was the perfect one to help us bring our vision for our wedding to life! The joy and passion that she shows when she discusses ideas are amazing. My husband and I simply gave Patty some of the things we wanted and she did the rest! Our entire experience was wonderful! Our wedding was absolutely beautiful, our centerpieces, bouquets, and all of our other flowers were all stunning! Patty was definitely more than a florist, she was our friend, and a real life fairy godmother!
Patty is definitely a fairy godmother with expertise, creativity and flexibility. She made our wedding day absolutely beautiful. Our arch and flowers were absolutely stunning. Our guests are still complimenting us on the flowers and gorgeous centerpieces. The flowers and service exceeded our expectations. We appreciate Patty's remarkable talent and personal touch. Absolutely Amazing!!!
Patty was absolutely amazing. The flowers were beautiful. She worked with us to make our wedding magical.
Patty exceeded my expectations!!!! I had found a wedding bouquet on Pinterest that I fell in love with. Patty re-created that same bouquet for our wedding and we continued a similar flower arrangement on our tables at the reception. Everyone at the wedding kept saying how beautiful the flowers were!!
Patty was very responsive to emails and met with us multiple times. She really made us feel comfortable and that we were in good hands.
On the day of the wedding, I didn't have to worry about a thing related to the flowers or decorations. Patty had it all covered! I really don't know what we would have done without Patty!!! Thank you isn't enough! :)
I don't even know where to begin writing a review for Fairy Godmother's, because I get emotional just thinking about how perfect and extraordinary my wedding day was. Patty was a huge part of making it the day I always imagined. From our first consultation to the minute I walked down the aisle she was so professional, helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, engaged and supportive of my vision and making it a reality. She provided suggestions and ideas to help me plan my wedding throughout the entire process, and I also hired her to do "day of" coordination since I did not use a professional wedding planner. She was there to make sure every single detail was exactly the way I planned, everyone was where they needed to be and when, then she led our wedding party down the aisle and vanished into the night. Like a Fairy Godmother! When I peeked into the reception room (after the room was flipped following the wedding ceremony) it was like walking into my own personal fairytale...my imagination came to life! It was SO BEAUTIFUL and so much better than I had dreamed it would be. The flowers that Patty and I planned were beyond what I had expected, and she made my "vintage wedding" theme come to life. I even integrated vintage brooches into my girls' bouquets and corsages, and she did so with such skill and expertise that they were a true highlight of the day that everyone was talking about. I can't thank Patty enough for everything she did, and I hope you consider her for your event. She is a true master and joy to work with!!!
Patty LITERALLY could not be more amazing. I got married june 24 2016 and i booked her a year in advanced. I can't say enough about how helpful she was in person and via email (even when she was in Italy she still communicated with me because my wedding was coming up), she was reasonable and worked with me with ideas since i had NO CLUE about flowers or any theme I was going for. We paid the extra 300 for her "day of coordinator services" and let me tell you THAT WAS THE BEST DECISION. she came to our rehearsal as one of the hours. set up everything at the chapel, at the reception hall, and came back at the end of our wedding night to help clean, mailed back things to us, she is truly a fairy godmother. She made me feel totally at ease during this whole process and about color choices for my venue as well as the flowers. everything was BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT. I need to upload a picture i just not sure how just yet. but wait till you see these gorgeous flowers!!! SHE IS THE BEST. she loves what she does and she is so friendly and warm!!!! going with her will be the best decision you make!!!
There are so many words that come to mind when describing the experience I had with Patty and her lovely company, but the best words I can think of are: incredible, perfect, etherial, fairytale, amazing, exactly-what-i-dreamed. Okay, maybe that isn't one word, but it is true! She took what I thought in my head and exploded it onto my venue, all the while making the entire process easy and comforting.
While I was worrying about the food, or my dress, or if there would be enough of WHATEVER else I was pouring over about, Patty was there to offer support and comfort knowing the flowers and arrangements would be perfect and on time. AND THEY WERE.
She is so timely and professional, as well as friendly and heart-warming. She is the real deal and the dream. If you don't book her, you will be doing your wedding and yourself (especially giving yourself a well needed break on the endless planning) a disservice.
Thank you Patty for giving me my dream!
Patty was terrific. I planned my wedding from abroad and she did all the designs and met with us shortly before the wedding. She accommodated our thoughts and, considering she set up everything 3 hours from her house, was reasonably priced. Her flowers were top notch and perfect for our wedding.
Patty is awesome! She accommodated me at short notice. She was enthusiastic about being part of a unique wedding concept (CTA Train Wedding) and was very eager to make things run smoothly. Her price is reasonable and location is convenient! She's always respond timely to my emails and text. messagestmessages.
Patty was excellent! She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and creative. My flowers and decor were better than I could have even imagined. I felt at ease working with Patty because she is so good at what she does. Thanks Patty!
From the moment my husband and I met Patty, we knew she was the real deal. Specifically, she listens to you with such attention to detail as to what you're style is, and then offers her professional opinion when she gets the feeling you need/want an opinion. Dealing with Patty was such a pleasure from start to finish. She goes the extra mile- she sends you pictures of different types of flowers and continues to search for flowers that are in season all while perfectly matching your vision/style. Our wedding ceremony was outside, and it truly looked magical! She takes your vision and turns it into something so stunning that you actually could not have imagined it in advance! I highly highly recommend Fairy Godmother's- Patty is professional, accommodating, affordable and all around one of the best choices we made in planning our wedding!
I absolutely recommend Patty and Fairy Godmothers to anyone for weddings/special events. Patty did an amazing job on the floral arrangements for my April 2015 wedding. She is extremely knowledgeable and it was a pleasure working with her. Patty made thoughtful recommendations which I really appreciated. Her prices are reasonable and the quality of her work product is very high.
Patty is simply a joy to work with! She was able to get my vision and transform it into reality! My favorite picture is that of my bridal party walking towards the ceremony site (it was outside) and their eyes were set a gaze to the tunnel of flowers. My guest loved my centerpieces so much they took half them home as souvenirs. I'm glad their happy. Nevertheless, Patty is relentless in making sure she gets it right, and that is comforting and and made us feel appreciated being her customer.
We had a great experience working with Patty on our May 2015 wedding. She had great recommendations and really understood my vision. She was very responsive throughout the process and made everything really easy for us. Our bouquets and centerpieces were beautiful and we received a lot of compliments on them. I would highly recommend her!
I found Fairygodmothers through the Knot app. I met with several florists and sitting down and talking to Patty was so easy and effortless. She asked me what I thought were the right questions and genuinely took interest in my vision for the wedding. 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 didn't worry for a second with Patty in my corner! I knew the flowers would be beautiful and any last minute details taken care of. I loved the flower arrangements Patty designed and my guests were blown away, I got compliments all night long! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Patty and Fairy Godmother's to take care of your wedding needs :) Thank you, Patty!
Patty was beyond wonderful!! We got married on July 3rd and wanted bright colorful flowers, but nothing too patriotic. She did an amazing job of listening to what my mom and I had envisioned and turing it into even better bouquets and arrangements 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!!
Patty was a pleasure to work with and literally created magic at our wedding. We chose a non-traditional outdoor venue and Patty had great ideas to transform the space into exactly what we envisioned - and more. She was organized, working with 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.
We used Fairy Godmothers Inc for our April 2015 wedding at the Wadorlf Astoria in Chicago. All I can say is Patty was phenomenal.
First of all, Patty is wonderful to work with. She is knowledgeable, experienced, and extremely sweet. Every 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!
Patty was recommended by a friend who had her wedding before mine. I'm glad I hired Patty. My wedding flowers were beautiful. The bouquets for me and the bridesmaids and the pomander balls for my flower girls were amazing. I wanted a soft and elegant 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!
Patty was so wonderful throughout our entire wedding planning process, and she absolutely delivered the most amazing flowers the day of our wedding! The bouquets were breathtaking and she was so helpful from the start of the day up until the very 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!
Our flowers were so beautiful! Patty did a wonderful job from the place cards, to the bouquets, to centerpieces, to decor in the church, and everything else! I cannot recommend her enough! So kind and gave us exactly what we wanted!
We utilized Patty and her amazing skills for our July 2014 wedding. Patty was so accommodating throughout the entire wedding planning process (I changed my mind quite a few times). She had wonderful ideas, amazing suggestions on how to incorporate 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!
Patty with Fairy Godmothers was amazing! She had great ideas for our summer wedding and the flowers looked absolutely gorgeous. She came to the hotel early to deliver our bouquets for pictures and then came to the church to make sure everyone's corsages and boutonnieres were perfect and also made final arrangements to our centerpieces prior to the reception. I would absolutely recommend her!
Patty was such a pleasure to work with. I live in California and my wedding was in Illinois so it was a little difficult finding vendors without getting the chance to meet and discuss ideas and designs face to face.
From the first phone conversation 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!
There are not enough words to express how Patty made every part of our wedding day perfect. During the planning experience, she was amazing with communication and literally bent over backwards to cater to our needs/wants. She had to travel quite 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!
Patty truly is a fairy godmother. She just handled my wedding this past weekend and of all of the elements of my wedding, the flowers and decor was the star of the show. I was having a smaller wedding and honestly, my goal was to spend as little 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.
I can not say enough great stuff about Fairy Godmothers. Patty took my wedding vision and made it happen! Every step of the way we worked in true collaboration to create the wedding I never knew I always wanted:)
Patty is easy to work with, listened 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!
My husband and I got married 10.12.13 and Patty provided beautiful flowers for my special day. My sister had previously used Patty as her florist in her wedding in 2008, so I knew that she would be great for my wedding too! She was very detailed 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!
I used Fairy Godmothers for my October 2013 wedding and had an overall great experience! Meeting up with them till the date was exciting and helped me with good ideas for my tables in the hall. Mine and my bridesmaids bouquets we're beautiful and 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!
We recently got married this past December and my husband and I found Fairy Godmothers on the knot.com after visiting several local florists and being a little uneasy about what they had to offer. However, after talking with Fairy Godmothers, we 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!
We could not have been happier with Patty and Fairy Godmothers support and service in our wedding planning and their work on our wedding day. From our first meeting over tea in her sweet workshop I knew we could trust her and she wasn’t like other 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!
Patty was the only florist I met and quite frankly I knew she was the one right away. Super friendly and laid back and has a ton of ideas up her sleeve. I honestly had no idea what colors I wanted. Just knew is anted fall colors. She asked 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.
I can't say enough good things about Fairy Godmothers. Patty, the owner, was incredibly easy to work with. She really listened to what we wanted, and put together a wonderful package combining both beautiful flowers, and lovely candlelight. 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.
Not only were they great to work with and on top of everything (keeping my mind from stressing out) but they totally got the aesthetic I wanted for my Harry Potter wedding. Everything was distinct in stule but cohesive for the setting, and it was beyond my expectations! I would use them again for any event needing a florist!
I had a rustic wedding with 160 guests and I really wanted it to look different than other weddings I have been to. Patty totally understood my vision and was helpful in coming up with other ideas too. I really appreciated that she set everything 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!
Fairy godmothers was amazing! Beautiful flowers for a great price. Very professional and easy to work with! I had an out of town wedding and Patty made it so easy for me. I literally didn't have to worry about anything, she was on time and delivered exactly what I requested! I would absolutely recommend fairy godmothers!!
Patty is passionate, knowledgeable and the type of artist that you can trust with your wedding. I gave her a few ideas of what I wanted, and she gave me several more-- I felt comfortable letting go of a few things and trusting her. I was not 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.
I worked with Patty and could not have been happier. From our first meeting she was kind and very loving. She listened to everything that I wanted, and when I told her what my budget was, she was more than happy to work with it. She gave me options 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!!
I was beyond impressed with the flowers and Patty's service. It was so wonderful to not have to worry about anything on the day of the wedding. Her ideas and expertise really helped to shape my vision, and she was so thoughtful.
From our first meeting through the wedding ceremony Patty and her staff were amazing. She is thoughtful, considerate and exceptionally talented! I gave her creative license to help with decorating our tables and the reception area. We got married 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.
We hired Fairy Godmothers as the florist for my daughter's wedding and as the coordinator during the two months before the wedding and the day of the wedding. We worked with Patty Kudlacz.
My daughter was living in London while the wedding 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!
As I began to plan my wedding, I didn't think the florist would be that important. But after I met Patty at Fairy Godmothers, I completely changed my mind. They go beyond what a typical florist would do and she was really fair priced. Out of all 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!
My sister had the "Fairy Godmother's" as her florist for her wedding and absolutely loved the product. I decided to go with them as well for my wedding this past June. Patty, the owner, is absolutely wonderful. I told Patty that I wanted a rustic/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.
I had a great time planning flower arrangements with Patty for my wedding. She was very understanding, seemed very knowledgeable and skillful. Both bouquets for my bridesmaids and myself were gorgeous, and centerpieces were exactly what I wanted. 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!
I didn't know a thing about flowers and add to that, I'm allergic to most. Patty was extremely helpful with addressing that. She provided samples to help me test out the ones she thought would work. Of all the ones she brought, only one was 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!
Fairy Godmothers was fantastic! She made sure every detail was exactly as I wanted it, went out of her way to accommodate my specific request & they caught every last detail. Her unique flower bracelet was a huge hit with my mom (her friends were jealous) & EVERYONE who views our wedding pictures compliments the flowers & my tulips @ an October wedding in Chicago! Fairy Godmothers were all around perfect!!!
I can't say enough about Fairy Godmothers because that is truly what she was on my special day. Patty made herself almost invisible as she transformed my wedding venue into candlelight bliss. Staying put until the end, Patty made sure everything 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.
After a long and exhausting search, we stumpbled across Fairy Godmother's and we knew immediately that Patty would be doing the flowers for our wedding.
Meeting with her in her quaint shop was so much fun, I wanted to go back every week just 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.
I recently got married and used Fairy Godmothers as my florist, for place cards and flowers on my cake. The owner Patty is a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her services to all future brides. This was the best vendor I worked with 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!!!
Our ceremony flower centerpieces were beautiful. They added elegance to the space. The bouquets were stunning and gorgeous. All are guests were very impressed with the attention to detail with the quality and beauty of the flowers. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. Thank you very much.
Everything about Fairy Godmothers was perfect. Patty (the owner) is very talented and professional. When I saw the flowers I couldn't believe how perfect they were, it was better than I imagined. She has very good ideas to offer and also can work 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.
Patty did an amazing job with our wedding! She was so patient and excited to work with whatever ideas and suggestions we had. Everything was perfect. Patty went above and beyond to make sure everything was set up the way we wanted it. We could not have been more pleased.
Patty was extremely helpful and accommodating when discussing floral arrangements. On the day of the wedding, she was ready with pins and thread to help with any problem. Would have liked the Blessed Mother bouquet to be slightly bigger but the bridal party bouquets were beautiful.
Patty and her team did such a lovely job arranging our bouquets and centerpieces for our wedding. She was thorough and thoughtful as we went through the planning process, made my inspiration bouquet photos come to life, and the result was beautiful. 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!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Patty as our wedding florist! Patty is so kind and understanding--she was patient with us as we changed our minds multiple times throughout our planning. Patty's work is amazing! She designs 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!
Throughout my wedding planning I always booked vendors when I had the feeling I could trust someone. This happened the moment I walked into Patty's studio. The minute we met, it just clicked. She understood my rambling thinking and she had such 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!!
I'll get to the flowers, but first I want to express how easy and comforting it was to work with Fairy Godmothers. Patty made the process a pleasure and delivered on everything that was promised, and then some! With Fairy Godmothers, you feel 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.
I ran into a little issue with the first florist that I selected for my wedding and was just 3 weeks away from the big day when Patty and Fairy Godmothers came to the rescue and told me that, although they already had a large event that day, they 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!
A Positive Experience
Fairy Godmothers recently provided the flowers for my wedding in downtown Chicago and I have nothing but great things to say about Patty and her staff. Our Reception was in the Rookery building and I can't count how many people made a point of 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.

We used Fairy Godmothers for our flowers, and they were wonderful! The flowers were breath taking, I had never before seen such bold, vibrant colors. The staff were extremely helpful, and even made sure everyone was down the aisle before heading off to set up the reception. I highly recommend this company!
Patty is fantastic! from start to finish, she tailored our flowers perfectly to what we were looking for. quality and service is outstanding.
Patty provided service that far exceeded our expectations. She is the biggest sweetheart. I could not have asked for a more beautiful bouquet, centerpieces, etc. She is very creative and pays the closest attention to detail. She helped out 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!
At our very first meeting with Patty from Fairy Godmother's, we knew she would be the one to do my daughters wedding flowers, and we never looked back!
Patty had the expertise and quiet confidence that we loved. She new exactly what we were looking 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.
I wanted really simple stuff and I didn't want to completely destroy the environment just for my wedding so all the centerpieces were potted herbs like rosemary, basil, sage chives, etc which I now have growing in my backyard. The ceremony flowers 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.
My experience with FGs could not have been better. Patty listened to my ideas, brainstormed with me, came up with her own, showed me swatches and samples and worked with my budget. It was a very collaborative experience and I felt extremely comfortable 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.
