Eileen was a delight to work with! We used Lake Forest Flowers for our wedding and the floral arrangements came out so beautifully. I would definitely use their services again!
Eileen and her team created my perfect magical, Lakeside winter wedding. Our flowers and tablescape set the perfect tone for the service and reception. I appreciate the engagement in taking my vision and making it come to life.
Eileen and Lake Forest Flowers were our florist for our 10/27/24 wedding at the Armour House. They were great to work with from start to finish and the flowers were stunning. Eileen was responsive with communication, highly knowledgeable and had great suggestions based on our inspiration photos. On the day of the wedding we were blown away. The flowers were beyond what we could have imagined and completely elevated our space. I would highly recommend working with Eileen & team.
Eileen & LFF did an amazing job for our big day. I loved working with her on every step of the way. I am very type A, so I had a specific vision (that changed a few times), and Eileen handled all of my questions, changes, and concerns with patience, professionalism and kindness!
She helped bring my springtime floral vision to life for our October wedding. She was also very conscious of our budget. I felt so supported through the whole process. I am very happy to have made the connection with Eileen and look forward to working with her in the future (attending her workshops, or ordering various bouquets in the future). She is a delight to work with!
Eileen was wonderful to work with. She took the time to fully understand what we were envisioning, was flexible in allowing us to supplement where we wanted, worked within our budget, and created an absolutely beautiful floral display. She was familiar with both the church and the venue, and gave us perfect advice on how to decorate each location. We could not have been happier. x
Lake Forest Florist did such an AMAZING job for my wedding day! Eileen brought my vision to life in every way possible and was so nice, thoughtful and professional throughout the whole wedding process. She was quick to adapt to my changes and made the process so easy! Definitely would highly recommend them to anyone I know!
Eileen and her team were amazing in the designing and set up of all the arrangements for our wedding day. The whole processes was seamless and Eileen knew exactly what we were looking for. She worked within our budget to make our wedding day extra special.
Eileen, with Lake Forest Flowers created the MOST BEAUTIFUL flower arrangements for my daughter's wedding! The Armour House is a gorgeous venue and has many areas where the choice of flowers can turn the venue into a "magical place!" Eileen took our vision for my daughter's wedding and exceeded our expectations in every way. Eileen is the most talented floral designer! We had many changes along the way with our vision of what we had hoped for the venue to look like... and when the day arrived, it took my breath away and I was in tears and full of such joy! Your daughter's wedding is such a very special day, you just want everything to be perfect and lovely. Eileen gave us just that! The flowers were spectacular! I will always be so very grateful for the time and love that Eileen and her incredible team put into my daughter's wedding day.
Eileen and her team did a beautiful job with our wedding florals. I came into the process knowing very little about flowers and gave Eileen minimal direction beyond my wedding colors, and I was amazed with the beautiful bouquets, boutonnieres, and arrangements she made! She was so easy to communicate with, met with us multiple times to go over the details, and was able to stay within the budget we asked for. I couldn't have been more pleased with Lake Forest Flowers and highly recommend them to anyone I know!
Eileen from Lake Forest flowers was so kind and easy to work with. She provided the look my daughter wanted and the flowers that the bride and bridesmaids carried as well as the flowers at the venue were stunning. We had complete confidence in Eileen and her team and highly recommend them!
I cannot say enough good things about lake forest flowers! They made the process for us so easy and everything turned out absolutely stunning! They were willing to work with us to create our dream floral arrangements for our wedding and everything came out perfect! The prices were very reasonable and we will forever cherish how beautiful they made our wedding!
I loved working with Eileen from Lake Forest Flowers! From our first meeting, I knew that she really was listening to my vision. She always kept our budget in mind and was very flexible. She answered my emails and any questions that I had. She was very flexible when planning meetings or phone calls, as I lived out of town. I really wanted to make the staircase a statement piece at our venue and Eileen made it look perfect. She even worked with some of the props that we had bought for the decor. Our flowers turned out stunning!
Eileen at Lake Forest Flowers was truly such a joy to work with. She had such a wonderful ability to transform exactly what I was imagining into real life…and even take it up a notch to be more than I could have ever imagined for my wedding day. She was so professional from the beginning and made sure we were in regular communication throughout the planning process. Eileen and the team at Lake Forest Flowers used their creative freedom to truly transform a backyard into a vision. I am so happy I chose LFF to be my wedding florist and would highly, highly recommend them to create your dream wedding too.
Eileen at Lake Forest Flowers was an absolute dream to work with for our winter micro-wedding during the pandemic. I highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding, and for florist needs for any occasion! Her floral arrangements for our wedding were so unbelievably gorgeous and aesthetically stunning, that our family said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to before, and we agree! Some said the room was so beautiful that they wanted to move in and never leave. Eileen took a plain banquet room and turned it into what people told us was a magical winter wonderland, and we agree. The room had a fireplace, and Eileen transformed it with the most beautiful and artistical arrangement of flowers, greenery, and candles of varying heights - it became a showstopper of a backdrop for our ceremony and family portraits. Our bouquets, boutonnières, and corsages were so artful and made with such care. Eileen inquired about heirlooms and offered to incorporate my Grandma's white lace handkerchief as a wrap around the satin ribbon around the stems of my bouquet, and she pinned into the front of my bouquet some garter pins my Mom gave me for something olde, new, borrowed and blue (because my dress was too fitted to wear a garter). She is such a thoughtful and kind person, that she really understand the human emotions and how flowers help strengthen our family traditions. I instantly liked Eileen from our first meeting, which was Zoom, due to the pandemic. Eileen also shared with us more of her plans when we went to Lake Forest Flowers to drop off a check. Eileen is very reassuring, friendly and calm, which was so helpful planning a wedding during the pandemic. She even stayed with us when we had to move our wedding from Lake Forest, IL to Lake Geneva, WI about 70 miles away! Eileen also created stunning guest and head table floral arrangements and candles, as well as for the bar, s'mores station, and even candles and flowers for outdoor igloos. The room where we had our wedding and reception smelled heavenly of roses and eucalyptus. Eileen delivered on exactly everything she said she would for design and installation - my husband and our family agree she hit it out of the park. The flowers were a key part of our design, and she was a key reason why our wedding is the best day of my life. I will always remember how beautiful the room looked and felt with her flowers and candles. I will go to Lake Forest Flowers for other occasions for sure!
I needed a bridal bouquet for our backyard wedding during COVID. Eileen at Lake Forest Flowers was able to provide be a beautiful bouquet at a good price. We had a quick phone call about what I was looking for and she created the perfect bouquet. Would definitely recommend!
Eileen was such a joy to work with throughout the entire planning process! From our first meeting to the day of, I couldn’t have asked for a better florist to work with. Her and her team put together a wedding vision I didn’t even know I wanted. Coming in to the whole process, I had no idea what flowers, what style, or what theme I was even visioning. Eileen was so patient with me and guided me through it all, asking the right questions and making me consider things I never would have even thought of. I trusted her entirely and I have no regrets! She even went out of her way to work with my church and my event coordinator at my hotel reception without putting me in the middle to have to worry about it. It was hard to find a florist that would deliver and set up in Waukegan and in Glenview so the fact that they were able to do that for me was a huge plus. She made that whole year as stress-free as possible. By the time we finalized everything, I had no doubts that everything would not only look perfect, but go smoothly- and it did! I would definitely recommend Eileen and her team at Lake Forest Flowers to anyone without any hesitation!
Eileen is fantastic and was totally game to design some less traditional arrangements for my wedding. It's not often you find a florist who is totally game to do wedding florals that involve bare winter branches. She was able to take my ideas and transform them into real life, budget-friendly designs, in addition to giving me some amazing alternate ideas I would never have thought of. I can't recommend Lake Forest Flowers enough!
I found this little shop on the knot and I am very happy I stopped in. I had a couple ideas of what I wanted but Eileen went above and beyond to find the perfect arrangements. She was able to work within our budget and was very patient with my indecisiveness. Every time I had a question, she was very quick to respond to me. I am very pleased and received so many compliments on my bouquets and other arrangements this past weekend at my wedding. I highly recommend Lake Forest Flowers, Eileen is very sweet and great to work with!!
We loved our flowers for our wedding. Everything was perfect and Eileen really made our vision come to life.
She was so great and patient with all of our questions... and changes!
Cannot wait to see all of our photos!
Eileen totally surpassed all of our expectations for our wedding day. Not only was she incredibly easy to work with, she genuinely cared about our wants and needs and was actually EAGER to help and create something so spectacular for our special day. I cannot recommend Lake Forest Flowers enough - absolutely beautiful job! Thank you for making the best day of our lives so special and unforgettable.
Eileen was wonderful to work with for my wedding. She created gorgeous bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, centerpieces, and cake topper. She was so understanding and flexible to work with through the stressful wedding planning process. Thank you so much, Eileen!
My husband and I recently got married in November, 2018. Like any engaged couple, we had done plenty of research for all of our vendors. When I came across Lake Forest Flowers I just simply had a really good feeling about it. I liked the fact it was a local and friendly company that seemed to truly care about their clients. When we met Eileen we immediately KNEW this was the place for us. Eileen was so attentive, enthusiastic, and genuinely happy for us to get married. I had a vision for our wedding flowers but wasn't exactly sure how to express everything. Eileen knew exactly what to ask and guided us in the perfect direction. I trusted her ENTIRELY and I knew that this was one vendor I absolutely did not have to worry about for the wedding - which is a really great feeling. I felt confident everything would be perfect and without any surprise, it was! Eileen was extremely easy to communicate with throughout the planning process as well. She was easy to get ahold of and always followed up right away with any questions or concerns. She worked with us to facilitate our wishes in every aspect. My bridal bouquet was more beautiful than I ever could have imagined!! My bridesmaids were so happy with their bouquets. The centerpieces for our wedding tables were exactly what we envisioned. And Eileen created the most beautiful wedding arch that we repurposed for the ceremony and reception. She is a true professional in every way but more than that, she was a caring and an entrusted friend on our wedding journey. To have Lake Forest Flowers apart of our wedding planning process and our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made. I could not say enough and I highly recommend them to anyone!
We loved working with Eileen, so kind, sweet, and creative. She was detail oriented from beginning to end and everything turned out SO beautiful. I didn't have any specific flowers in mind and told Eileen to get creative with our colors and she blew my expectations out of the water. Our bouquets were so delicate and unique. Eileen also went above and beyond with helping us and working with our schedules since we were from out of town. I would recommend Lake Forest Flowers to anyone getting married.
My daughter and I went to Eileen for a consultation and estimate before my daughter’s wedding on September 1, 2018. Her energy and enthusiasm for my daughhter’s vision immediately made her our choice to do our flowers. What a great decision on our part!!!!
When Eileen delivered the bouquets for the bride and bridesmaids and Emma saw them, it was the first time she cried that day. They were beautiful and exactly what her vision was. His was just the beginning of our happiness with Lake Forest Flowers. The church Flowers, the reception flowers and all of the small details of the wedding and reception were flawlessly handled. I received SO many compliments about the flowers and everyone was so impressed by the looks that were created.
We were so thrilled by Eileen and her team of professionals that brought our vision to life. I can’t thank her enough for her exuberance and professionalism in all areas of the process!! And she did all of this while having contractions. She delivered her baby the following day!!!!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! It was a day to remember and Lake Forest Flowers played a huge part in making it happen!!
I can’t say enough good things about Lake Forest Flowers and working with Eileen. From our first meeting discussing visions and colors to the final moments of our wedding and having to pack up, Eileen and her team were absolutely amazing. Eileen has extensive knowledge in all aspects of floral planning. She is attentive, detail oriented and an absolute delight to work with. Our wedding was so incredible, due in large part to the breathtaking florals Eileen designed for us. I would recommend to anyone looking for a florist, to look no further than Lake Forest Flowers!
I absolutely love Lake Forest Flowers! I used them for my wedding, and the flowers were beautiful. Eileen read my mind, and brought everything I envisioned to life. She has such a positive spirit and is very organized, which is helpful for a stressed out bride. Such a great experience!
Thank you to John Looby and Eileen Weber at Lake Forest Flowers for the spectacular white with greenery floral arrangement for my daughter's wedding at the Union League Club of Chicago. The low arrangements glowed with beautiful fairy lights. The tall arrangements burst with white orchids while the water-filled glass cylinders magically illuminated orchids within. Every detail from the bouquets to the long floral garland on the bridal table fulfilled the bride's vision. The highest level of professionalism was apparent throughout the entire planning process and right to the end of the event. I most highly recommend Lake Forest Flowers !!
Eileen and Lake Forest Flowers did an incredible job creating the floral theme and setting it all up for my wedding at the Armour House. I met with Eileen a year in advance, and we remained in contact as the months went by to create a proposal we were all excited about. She did not get frustrated with me when my ideas and opinions kept changing, and I greatly appreciated that! She also kept the proposals within our budget, and did not pressure us to increase it in any way.
The florals at my wedding were to die for. She took every one of my suggestions into consideration, and made it all flow together so perfectly. Our wedding guests complimented the arrangements and bouquets which shows it did not go unnoticed!
I would definitely recommend Eileen and Lake Forest Flowers to anyone in my network.
As someone who knows close to nothing about flowers, but still blissfully loves them and wanted to have gorgeous flowers for her wedding, I am so lucky that my mother in law recommended I work with Eileen at Lake Forest Flowers!
A quick look at their website, Facebook page, or Instagram will show you what I can’t in words—Eileen’s arrangements are thoughtful, beautiful, unique, and timeless! What I can tell you beyond the photos is that Eileen really cares about the vision you have for your wedding. She was patient and helpful during our in-person floral meeting and able to imagine the things I had in mind despite my not knowing the words for anything. She also kept my husband’s preferences in mind despite his being a typical guy just trying to avoid any frou-frouness. :-P
Budget was an important point for us and Eileen made every cost very clear in her floral proposal, adjusting and readjusting as we decided against certain points while adding others later. She allowed additional flexibility with my mother in law and her friend kindly opting to deliver and set up flowers on the actual wedding day.
Our desired look in the end was very simple with white and soft pink flowers and lots of greenery. We had lantern centerpieces for our tables with greenery and flowers instead of large floral arrangements. Everything was beautiful and unified across her every creation. We also had baby’s breath for my hair and bridesmaids’ hair which everyone loved. Also, I requested to have eucalyptus throughout everything, which she truly honored, and I think this added a wonderful soft fragrance to the entire day! Also, I was able to have peonies in my bouquet which are my FAVORITE but not at all in season!
In the end, Eileen made a potentially stressful part of wedding planning SO easy and rewarding. She is such a talented and kind florist who will truly help to make your wedding as beautiful as you could dream. We are so lucky to have worked with her!
Lake forest flowers truly delivered in every single one of these categories. Eileen did the flowers for my wedding at the Armour House in May of 2016. Immediately after meeting Eileen, we knew there was no need to look any further for a wedding florist. She was so friendly and professional and assured us that she could work within our style and budget. I showed her my Pinterest board and she literally brought it to life! Our style was a bit less traditional- going for a softer more natural feel with our flowers - and Elileen immediately was on the same page with us.
As the wedding approached, Eileen was always willing to make adjustments, as there were a couple of last minute changes to our order. She was so flexible and easy to work with. I never once stressed about the flowers for my wedding.
Lake forest flowers delivered beautiful bouquets, boutonnières, center pieces and other decorative arrangements. I would definitely recommend Lake Forest Flowers to ANYONE who wants beautiful flowers that reflect the bride and groom's personal style!
The flowers the Eileen provided for my wedding day were incredible! I loved working with her so much. She was very prompt with her responses. I gave her some ideas of what I liked, and because I trusted her so much, I asked that she do what she thinks is best. It was a relief not to have to worry about one aspect of my wedding.
Eileen was wonderful to work with. She helped me stay within my budget, and the flowers were gorgeous! Subtracting one star because one of the types of flowers were the wrong color.
Eileen was very friendly and prompt when helping with out wedding flowers. She helped stay within our budget. We sent her multiple pictures from Pinterest to give her an idea of our vision and our bouquets turned out so beautiful! They were a little bit smaller than I imagined, but they still looked great. The flowers were delivered on time and we had no problems with anything. I would definitely recommend this flower shop!
Lake Forest flowers did the flowers for my sister's wedding and they were stunning, so I decided to meet with them when I was planning my wedding. Eileen from Lake Forest Flowers was amazing! When I went in for my consultation, I did not have much of a vision for my wedding, but Eileen helped me to figure out what I wanted when it came to flowers. She also was extremely helpful with everything that goes on the tables. The vases that Eileen found for my flowers were gorgeous! She also found beautiful votive candle holders. I was blown away by the bridal bouquet and bridesmaids bouquets. The groomsmen's and groom's boutonnieres were very unique and elegant. Eileen had every detail down to a tee, and she was amazing to work with. I would recommend Lake Forest Flowers to any other bride to be.
Elaine is wonderful! We went to her with ideas and a budget and she was able to work with us to achieve our goal. I didn't see the flowers until the day of my wedding and I couldn't have asked for better! Amazing work!!!
Knowing the family and their business, I knew I wouldn't be let down when it came to selecting the perfect flowers for my wedding day. I went in with a few flowers I wanted to work with, and Eileen added a few more, which in turn, turned out magnificent. Everyone loved them and I couldn't have been happier.
I worked with Eileen and the flowers were absolutely perfect for my wedding. I gave her some pictures to work off of and the finished product was exactly what I was looking for. In every picture, the flowers looked stunning. Eileen took care of everything so I did not have to worry about the flowers at all on the big day.
I had a tight floral budget and Eileen was great working with us to figure out what we could do to stay within our price range. I was constantly changing what I was looking for in our flowers and Eileen was very patient working to make sure I got what I wanted. We even made changes the week of the wedding that she was easily able to accommodate. Everything turned out above and beyond what I was hoping and I could not have been happier with our flowers.
I had the pleasure of using Lake Forest Flowers for my wedding in October. Eileen could not have been sweeter or easier to work with. She accommodated our budget and all kinds of additions and subtractions til the end. My wedding bouquet absolutely took my breath away. I didn't want to put it down all night! It was beautiful.. as were our centerpieces, flower girl headpieces and everything else ordered. I would highly recommend LF Flowers to any bride for personalized, quality service! Thank you for making my wedding day gorgeous and memorable! I'm sad it's over!
I worked with Eileen and John from the get-go on my wedding. Some of my favorite flowers were out of season and I new would be expensive. They were able to get them for me without a question. We created 3 different floral designs for the tent and all were stunning. We were even able to rent silver charger plates, silver candelabras, beaded votive candles, and ivory satin table cloths to complete our look. Not only were the flowers beautiful, but they were fresh! Some of my guests commented that the centerpieces lasted 2 weeks! They were able to accomodate my budget as well as many of my friends that were smaller. You know when you work with them that all details will be accounted for and they are the ones setting up - not sending some random crew. I encourage you to stop in and see the floral books they have of their work or on their facebook page.
For 32 tables, and 8 bridesmaids + church decor, I feel that I received great value and everyone keeps talking about it!
