Flowers for Dreams

ay. My wife and I are very much in love with plants and flowers, and having someone who could so effortlessly and beautifully carry out our vision was an absolute gift. When we first met with Lilly, it was clear that she was friendly and a talented florist. She was more than willing to collaborate and organized a dry run of a few different options for us to choose from. She cultivated gorgeous and dynamic tablescapes, and took a few key words we’d used and created unique, magnificent, trailing, bouquets. We were over the moon with the final results, and have already used Flowers For Dreams for another event after the wedding as well.

nnot recommend the team at FFD Detroit more!

e at our consultation. He and his team really took my pinterest board and made my dream wedding flowers come to life. He was more than happy to address and walk me through all of my questions and last minute requests, especially nearing the big day. I also found Flowers for Dreams to be reasonably priced compared to many of the florists I reached out to. Considering that flowers can account for a large portion of wedding budgets, let's just say you get a lot of bang for your buck with them especially with the top quality work and service they produce. I highly recommend the team at Flowers for Dreams for your special day!!

ases and candles were an added bonus! The flip from ceremony and reception went flawlessly as well! I think the value for what we paid for and pricing was extremely reasonable from other quotes I heard of from friends. Not to mention we and our guests took our florals home and they lasted another 2 weeks!! So amazing and can not recommend them more! USE THEM FOR YOUR WEDDING!!

s. We worked with Rachael, and Paytin ahead of the wedding who did an excellent job working with us on custom requests and on logistical details. Their on-the-ground team was also excellent and hard working. They really did a lot to make the venue look incredible for an excellent rate.

rpieces. She incorporated all feedback and presented unique and beautiful design ideas and clear communication throughout the process. It was everything we dreamed of and more, and we kept getting comments about how much everyone loved the flowers for weeks after the wedding!

told him to go with it. No micro-managing, no step-by-step instructions. I trusted his artistry, and he ran with it… straight into floral heaven. The result? A wedding day so visually stunning that guests are STILL talking about the flowers — and not casually. I mean emphatic, jaw-dropping, “who-is-your-guy-I-want-to-renew-my-vows-just-to-hire-him” kind of talking. Here are just a few of the actual quotes from our guests post-wedding: 🌸 “The florals, OMG Erin, THE FLORALS!” 🌸 “Everywhere I looked – truly enchanting and so YOU.” 🌸 “Who did your flowers?! I’m already married but I’ll do it again just to hire him!” Drew and his team created a world that felt like a dream — elegant but whimsical, refined yet romantic, and deeply personal. It wasn’t just decoration. It was storytelling. Every petal, every arrangement, every corner of our venue felt considered and intentional — like he had climbed inside my imagination and brought it to life, only better. The ceremony arch? Showstopping. The tablescapes? Magazine-worthy. The bouquets? Like holding art in my hands. Even the tiniest bud vases had people taking photos! Working with Drew was a breeze — kind, communicative, creative beyond belief. He understood the assignment… and then nailed the extra credit. I felt completely taken care of, heard, and understood. To say I’m a happy bride is an understatement. I’m over the moon. I will be dreaming about those flowers forever — and forever grateful to Drew Hawley and the entire Flowers for Dreams team for making magic on my wedding day. If you are looking for a florist who goes above and beyond — someone who doesn’t just fill a space with flowers but fills it with emotion and wonder — look no further. Seriously. Look no further. Drew, thank you. A million times over. You are a floral genius. 💐💫

s about how beautiful and fresh the flower arrangements looked. Their customer service support is unmatched as well. 100% recommended. 

FFD mission, vision, and outstanding quality and service. Can't wait to explore their other services/offerings, and work with them for other occasions.

ful autumnal hues with a pretty tight budget. They were able to fit a floral installation, bridal party bouquets, boutonniere, pocket boutonnière, corsages, centerpieces, and signage accents all in! Many of our guests wanted to take our centerpieces because they were just so beautifully done! I highly recommend working with Flowers for Dreams! They were truly a dream team.  

stions to help us decide what our floral needs were for the wedding. He asked about floral for me, the bridesmaids, the aisle, the arch, the first look, the cake, and more. He then sent me a detailed proposal with inspo photos and examples by the next day so I knew what I would be getting before signing the contract. We then did another zoom meeting right before the 1 month out deadline to finalize the order. All of the flowers were absolutely stunning on wedding day. Drew created my vision perfectly and I wouldn’t change any of it! Highly recommend! I’ll let the photos do the talking!

rfectly. From the bouquets to the ceremony florals and table settings, they truly captured the vision we were going for. Thank you so much! -A&J

They showed up on time, set up everything perfectly, and were so so sweet when explaining the bouquets and set up. I would recommend them a million times over!

ul, from the boutonnieres to the bud vases, and my bouquet was stunning. The flower delivery to my venue and my getting ready site was ahead of schedule, which worked out perfectly because my HMU artist was just about to do my hair when the flower hair comb came in! Perfect experience, 10/10 would recommend.

he place when describing what I wanted our wedding flowers to look like and Rachael nailed it on one try. She went above and beyond to make sure I loved the whole look and it was such an easy experience. I will recommend them a 100000% over!! You will not be disappointed by this team.

in a way that exceeded anything we could have imagined. Every arrangement, every detail, felt intentional and inspired. The floral design created a truly magical atmosphere for our wedding. It was elegant, romantic, and perfectly aligned with the emotion and beauty of the day. Our guests were constantly mentioning the beauty of the floral arrangements, and we found ourselves constantly pausing to take in the stunning work the team had done. What stood out most was Rachael and her team’s ability to translate our ideas into something even more beautiful than we had pictured. The creativity, professionalism, and care from the team made the entire experience seamless and joyful. We are deeply grateful to Rachael and the Flowers for Dreams team for helping make our wedding unforgettable. Their work is extraordinary, and we would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking to elevate their celebration with exceptional floral design.

credibly fast to respond, informative, and genuinely kind. I had reached out to other florists, and the difference was night and day. Others were slow to answer even simple questions and didn’t make me feel taken care of. Jessica, on the other hand, made me feel supported and valued from the start. She was attentive to every detail, offered thoughtful suggestions, and even went above and beyond by helping with table décor, which completely blew me away. She was flexible, real, and honest. She even worked with us on costs where possible, which I deeply appreciated. And the flowers? Absolutely STUNNING. Truly beyond what I had envisioned. Jessica and her team delivered something so beautiful it took my breath away. They went above and beyond for us, and it’s the kind of care and effort you dream of having on your wedding team. On top of all this, the fact that Flowers for Dreams gives back to the community makes working with them feel even more meaningful. I cannot recommend Jessica and Flowers for Dreams enough. They made our wedding unforgettable! 🌸

happier with how my greenery turned out for my wedding! I highly recommend using them for your wedding or event!

to do something different, big and bold. Kaylee brought my vision to life whole-heartedly and was an absolutely joy to work with over the last year. It was amazing to see the flowers and pedestals repurposed from the ceremony to the reception. AND MY BOUQUET... its hard to put into words how stunning it was. With our bridal party in all black the bright, bold bouquets popped and brought some fun personality into the day. I highly recommend F4D and especially Kaylee for all your wedding floral needs :)

hael was super helpful throughout the process on finalizing the color palette and the center piece designs. Overall a terrific experience!

k with email responses and proposal changes. She was respectful in staying within our budget. Kaylee and I had similar design taste, helping me bring my minimalistic modern vision to the dinner table decor. She even went so far as to meet with me in person and let me pick out vases and candle votives at their warehouse. This was so helpful, and even inspired me to add colored vases into my table decor, which I had not planned on in the beginning! I am forever grateful for her and the way she went above and beyond to help decorate my wedding reception! I also loved my wedding bouquet and they incorporated the exact colors and flowers I was looking for, especially my favorite flowers, which are peonies! If you're looking for a wedding florist with a modern design, Flowers for Dreams is the BEST option!

during the in-person preview to ensure the table arrangements looked exactly as I'd hoped. I was blown away by how beautiful the flowers were on wedding day - they were everything I dreamed!!

, bouquets, boutonnieres, floral pocket squares, and a hanging candle + greenery installation in our venue skylight. My only piece of constructive criticism is that a year into planning, we were surprised that the original arch we requested during the sales process (which played a large role in vendor selection) wan't possible within the venue layout, and I had to follow up with specific questions and requests for dimensions and mockups to find a solution. As a preferred/repeat vendor of our venue, I would not have expected this to be a last-minute surprise, and after uncovering it, I would have expected more proactive/prescriptive recommendations on the next best options with examples and help visualizing it within the space. It also would have been nice to have acknowledgement of the miss on their end, but it was just posed as "oh, no you can't do that because XYZ" ... I would still rate 5 stars because the team absolutely delivered during our wedding weekend, and everything was even more gorgeous in person than we imagined! Mae let us know the flowers were ours to keep at the end of the evening, so we told guests to use our newspaper programs as build-your-own-bouquet wraps at the end of the night, which was a huge hit. We would absolutely recommend Flowers for Dreams to other couples looking for gorgeous florals in Chicago.
