Love Lush Events is a Chicagoland-based wedding design and production studio creating full wedding glow-ups through custom florals, curated décor, and hands-on execution.
Led by visionary designer Carrie Love, we don’t just decorate—we concept, design, and direct the entire aesthetic of your wedding with intention, artistry, and a cohesive point of view. From your first idea to the final layered detail, every element is thoughtfully curated to feel elevated, immersive, and completely you.
We don’t just design weddings—we build them, style them, and fully produce them with one expert team from start to finish.
What sets us apart is our in-house approach. From florals and décor to custom installations and statement pieces, our team handles the creative and production process under one roof—giving you more creative control, a streamlined experience, and a beautifully cohesive result.
We’re not one-size-fits-all—and your wedding shouldn’t be either.
From drop-and-go florals to full-scale, fully styled productions, you can choose the level of support that fits your vision and your budget. No matter the scope, every design is created with intention, elevated detail, and a whole lot of fun—because weddings are meant to be celebrated, not stressed over.
And yes—we bring the energy. Our team shows up ready to create, style, and transform your space while keeping the experience upbeat, seamless, and enjoyable from start to finish.
Not sure where to begin with your design? That’s where we come in.
We offer designer-led consultation services for couples who want expert guidance shaping their vision. Whether you have folders full of inspiration or no direction at all, we translate your ideas into a refined, clear aesthetic—so you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Our approach is high-style and low-stress. From delivery and professional setup to on-site styling and end-of-night teardown, we manage the full production so you can actually enjoy your day—not manage it.
We don’t just place décor—we style every detail. Candles, textures, layering, florals, and finishing touches are intentionally curated to create that wow moment—the kind your guests feel the second they walk in.
At Love Lush Events, we create weddings that feel refined, immersive, and unforgettable—and we believe the process should feel just as good as the final result.

Carrie and her floral team were nothing short of incredible! They truly brought my vision to life and made my wedding day more beautiful than I could have imagined. From the initia...
l consultation, they were so easy to work with—extremely communicative, always listening to what I wanted, and offering expert advice. Their prices were incredibly reasonable for the level of detail and artistry they delivered. Not only did they provide stunning florals, but they also hand-crafted unique decor items that added such a personal and custom touch to the entire day. Everything was carefully thought out and perfectly executed. They made the day so easy for us by taking care of all the setup and teardown at the same time, which was such a relief. My guests were in awe of how breathtaking both the ceremony and reception spaces were, and I’ve had countless compliments on the florals. The champagne wall they created was a huge hit and became a highlight of the reception! I can’t thank Carrie and her team enough for making our day as magical as it was.
Additionally, our coordinator, Elizabeth was an absolute lifesaver on our wedding day! She was so organized, and everything went off without a hitch thanks to her. She kept the groomsmen in check and made sure everything was running smoothly according to the in-depth timeline she created for us and our vendors. One thing I truly appreciated was how she made sure my husband and I were taken care of, ensuring we had food and drinks amidst all the craziness. Any last-minute issues that popped up, she was there to handle them, making sure I could focus on enjoying the day. Elizabeth truly relieved so much stress and anxiety, and I am forever grateful for her support!
Do not think, just inquire and book this incredible team! I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day!

Hi Ericka,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. I really enjoyed ...
being able to be present for you and to reassure you that everything was going to work out as I know how stressful weddings can be. Life gets in the way of life at times and being a business owner yourself and a nurse plus being a mother , I am here to tell you that you owned that design and you were absolutely incredible and kind to work alongside. I am so happy I was able to meet such a kind and compassionate human being and so thankful that your floral design turned out beautifully. The trendy baby breath arch was gorgeous and a show stopper and we made it by hand. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be part of your weddding memories for life!

Working with Elizabeth and the Love Lush Events LLC team in Chicago was an absolute dream! From a photographer and videographer’s perspective, everything about the day was executed...
flawlessly. The timeline ran smoothly, the design details were stunning, and Elizabeth made sure everyone—vendors and couple alike—felt completely supported.
It’s rare to find a planner who balances professionalism and warmth so perfectly. Elizabeth was organized, communicative, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. Her calm presence kept the day stress-free and allowed us to fully focus on capturing all the beautiful moments she helped bring to life.
If you’re looking for a wedding planner who truly cares about every detail and creates an effortless experience for both the couple and creative team, Love Lush Events LLC is top-tier. Can’t wait to work together again!

tail. Carey took the time to truly understand our vision and created beautifully curated bouquets that felt elegant, intentional, and perfectly aligned with what we wanted.
Everything was delivered on time and exceeded our expectations in both quality and design. The florals were lush, timeless, and stunning without feeling overdone. On top of that, the pricing was extremely fair for the level of care, creativity, and execution we received.
One of the most meaningful touches was how Carey designed a floral backdrop so our dog could be part of our wedding—an extra level of thoughtfulness that meant so much to us and made our day even more special.
We are so grateful to Love Lush Events for bringing our vision to life with such care and artistry. Highly recommend to anyone looking for beautiful florals and an amazing experience.

The floral design turned out absolutely incredible. Everything looked stunning! It was elegant, romantic, timeless which is what I was hoping for. I was very impressed by Carrie's expertise and suggestions. She combined perfectly both fresh and faux florals in my design (I could not tell the difference. Her faux florals are amazing!!)
Carrie and the team were incredibly professional on the day of the wedding. Everything was set up perfectly, and I didn’t have to worry about a single thing.
On top of being exceptionally talented, Carrie is just an incredibly warm and genuine person. I could tell she truly cared. I highly highly recommended working with Love Lush Events!!

We hired Carrie and her team for my daughter's wedding in July 2025. My daughter had a very specific idea for how she wanted her reception space to look. She didn't want big center...
pieces on the tables (to make conversation easier), but did want a lot of greenery overhead. Carrie's team built custom trellises to go over the guest tables and covered them in vines & lights. They looked amazing! We also had Carrie do the bouquets, and I can't begin to tell you how perfect they were. I couldn't stop looking at them! In addition to florals, we had Elizabeth as our Day-of coordinator. Elizabeth was a rock-star! She kept things orderly and moving smoothly, even when we had issues with our caterer. But even better, she was kind and just a pleasure to work with. If I could give Carrie, Elizabeth, and the rest of their team more than 5 stars, I would. I highly recommend them.

The Dream Team Behind Our Wedding – Love Lush Events & Kris Garay
If you’re searching for a florist, designer, and day-of coordinator who will go above and beyond to bring your vi...
sion to life and keep you calm through the chaos—look no further than Carrie Love and her incredible team at Love Lush Events. From start to finish, they were an absolute dream to work with.
Carrie didn’t just decorate our wedding—she curated an experience. She truly listened to our vision, worked within our budget, and still delivered a luxurious, show-stopping event. Our red rose theme was absolutely breathtaking, from the stunning floral arrangements (a mix of real and faux) to the custom centerpieces and a sweet surprise: a personalized welcome sign that added the perfect touch. Her attention to detail is unmatched.
She was always available—via text, email, or HoneyBook—and her calm energy truly helped soothe my pre-wedding anxiety. Her communication and professionalism made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
And then there’s Kris Garay, our day-of coordinator—truly an unsung hero! Kris handled everything behind the scenes with such grace and efficiency. She coordinated with all our vendors, ensured our timeline stayed on track, and made the day run seamlessly. Thanks to her, we were able to fully enjoy every moment without stress or worry.
If you want a cohesive team that offers stunning floral design, production, styling and coordination—Love Lush Events is your one-stop dream team. They’re not just vendors; they’re artists, planners, and miracle workers rolled into one.
We are forever grateful to Carrie, Kris, and the entire Love Lush crew for making our wedding day everything we imagined—and more. 💐✨

We also had the pleasure of working with Jess as our wedding coordinator, and she was truly a lifesaver! She kept us organized, calm, and completely on track—not just on the big day, but in the weeks leading up to it as well. I genuinely don’t know how we would have pulled it off without her.
Thanks to Carrie, Jess, and the entire Love Lush team, we had the most fun and beautiful day imaginable. Everything came together perfectly, and we’ll cherish the memories forever. We can’t recommend them enough!

I can’t say enough good things about Love Lush Events!! I had the absolute pleasure of working with Elizabeth as my wedding coordinator, and she was truly incredible. From the very...
beginning, she was such a calming and supportive presence. Helping me stay grounded, even giving me skincare tips, and stepping in when our DJ unexpectedly fell through. She went above and beyond every step of the way!
On the actual wedding day, it was hot and windy, and Elizabeth helped make so many important game-time decisions while always checking in to make sure everything aligned with my vision. And even though she wasn’t feeling well that day, she was dealing with tooth pain, she still showed up with a smile and gave it her all to make sure our day was perfect.
Thanks to Elizabeth and the Love Lush Events team, our wedding ran smoothly and felt so personal and special. I’m forever grateful for their hard work, care, and dedication. If you’re considering working with them—DO IT!!! You will not be disappointed!!!

10000/10 ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING!!!!!!! I cannot even begin to describe how impressed we were with the wonderful services that were provided by Love Lush Events!! Carrie, K...
ris, and Bert went so far above and beyond our expectations! We got both coordination services and florals/decor, and everything was absolutely perfect for our day!!
Kris was our wedding coordinator, and from our very call with her, we could already tell that everything would go off without a hitch! She was so organized, asked the BEST questions to make sure we didn't forget anything, and I don't know if I've ever met a kinder, happier, more driven, and uplifting individual! She took care of everything for us, from coordinating with all our other vendors and the venue, making our timeline, helping set up last minute details, helping carry and fluff my dress, making sure we had our favorite drinks in our hands as soon as we walked into the reception, literally anything we needed, she was already ten steps ahead of us!
Carrie was our event designer/florist/decorator - she wears so many hats, and so well! She completely understood our vision right from the start, and it made it so easy to let her take the reins and help us through the design process! We fully trusted her and everything looked STUNNING!!! They handled all of our florals, personal and centerpieces, signage, table numbers, candles, greenery, large floral arches for behind our head table, and our seating chart! Our seating chart was literally a custom-built wall made just for us! We had a specific vision in mind (golf themed, it was so freaking cute), and Carrie and her super talented husband Bert made it come to life and made it seem so effortless! Anything we asked for or threw at them (even at the last minute, oops), their response was always, "yes, we can absolutely do that!"
Not only were the services/products outstanding, but so was the pricing! Love Lush Events was by far the best pricing we found for what we were looking for - it wasn't even close! If you're looking to have a beautiful, high end look, work with some amazing people, and have your day run flawlessly, please hire Lush Love Events for all of your coordination, floral, and decor needs!!!!!

Carrie from Bling in the Barn was such a dream to work with and one of my favorite vendors! I can’t stress enough the importance of hiring someone who can handle both florals and c...
andles—I learned this the hard way after booking a florist early on who didn’t offer candles. Carrie totally saved the day.
When my original florist was unreasonable with pricing on additional roses, Carrie stepped in and provided stunning roses and bud vases at a fair and transparent price. The quality was incredible, and the candle setup—especially the floating candles in water—was a total dream. Everything looked magical.
She even went the extra mile and added bud vases and florals to a few cocktail hour tables I completely forgot about, which I so appreciated. She truly cared about every detail and bringing my vision to life. If I hadn’t already booked other vendors, I would’ve had Bling in the Barn do everything. Highly recommend—thank you, Carrie!

Jessica is a rockstar! She made the entire day so easy for us. She even encouraged us to take a special moment for just us two- bringing us food and drinks and making sure we enjoyed everything. All of my bridesmaids love Jessica and we couldn’t have had such a beautiful day without her. Jessica made sure any bumps were handled and her organization and communication made the night so easy on both my husband and I.

up to make it a seamless transition for the venue. I also didn’t even notice them cleaning up at the end of the night! It was speedy and quiet.
Kris was our wedding coordinator we hired through Bling in the Barn. She was on top of everything. She made an itinerary for the day which made the day flow easily. She was in contact with all my vendors and setting up the day of to help relieve some of the stress from me. At the venue she was always there behind me to make sure I was happy with everything. She also made sure I was well fed and never thirsty. I will be recommending Kris and Carrie to all of my friends/family that are getting married in the Chicago land area!

Where to start??? Carrie and her team at Bling In The Barn Events & Weddings made my wedding dreams come true. THEY WILL ALWAYS PUT YOU FIRST! I happened to stumble upon her page,...
sent an information request per the website, and within what felt like minutes, she replied. Talk about fast service. While I used her décor service only, she offers much more, she took the time to understand what I was looking for and view my inspirations. She also provided me with ideas I would have never thought of! She is more than just someone running a business, she was more like a friend cheering for you every step of the way, from the first phone call to even after the wedding day took place. I am so excited to get back my wedding photos and show those who were not able to make it the beauty Bling In The Barn Events & Weddings can do. I HIGHLY recommend this company. I cannot wait to host another event, even with it not being a wedding, to get some more amazing work done by this team! Thank you for making our day amazing and stress free!

My wedding was in May of 2023. I booked Bling in the barn for all my decor and bouquets. I was a little hesitant at first because they are faux flowers. However, my opinion complet...
ely changed. Everything I imagined was brought to life thanks to Carrie and her team. My bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquets were so beautiful! Everyone thought the flowers were real that’s how good they are! The week before my wedding Carrie realized I didn’t have a backdrop for my sweetheart table, I’m so glad she offered the floral ring. It was the perfect touch. Carrie and her team know what they’re doing and they’re so good at it. Thank you Bling in the barn for making my wedding day beautiful and perfect!

Carrie and her team did so amazing in decorating my wedding. She takes the time to get to know what you envision for your day. She really listens to your vision and makes it happen...
with such beautiful detail. I had wanted mine and my bridesmaids’ bouquets to have a sunflower in them for a special memory but was unsure it would go with the wedding colors. Carrie and her crew arranged the bouquets beautifully with my personal vision of having a sunflower in them with still keeping in mind the colors for the wedding. She is passionate about what she does and it shows through her work and personality and how she interacts with clients.

Would highly recommend Carrie and her team! I had an unfortunate situation where my previous florist canceled last minute, Carrie graciously added me to her already full schedule a...
nd was able to make beautiful bouquets for me and my bridesmaids in time for the wedding. She quite literally saved the day! She was very easy to get in touch with and quick to respond. She communicated very clearly and made sure the bouquets were exactly what I had wanted and envisioned, even on a tight schedule. We had a family member create most of our other decorations and she did a great job using similar flowers/patters so they all blended together well. She uses faux flowers, but they are the most realistic I have ever seen. I got so many complements on them all day long and no one believed they weren't real flowers. There are not enough stars to portray how amazing this company is. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! My only regret is not booking them sooner!

red exactly what I dreamed of. Carrie made sure she provided updates throughout the process and made sure she knew exactly what I liked and what I did not like. My wedding celebration was a 2-day event and Carrie went above and beyond to make sure my bridesmaids and I had our bouquets ready before the religious ceremony on Saturday. The bouquets were absolutely beautiful and I received nothing but wonderful compliments from the bouquets to the beautiful centerpieces and the amazing sweat hearts backdrop. I am extremely thankful for Carrie and her wonderful team for bringing my vision to life and making my wedding day a so special. Also, she provides day-of-coordination which is worth every single penny. Jessica with Bling at the Barn did the most amazing job setting everything up and I recommend everyone book this service if you truly want to enjoy your day. Thanks again Bling at the Barn! 10/10 recommended!

Carrie, Nani, and the whole team were absolutely incredible. They went above and beyond to make the wedding look beautiful. From the bouquets, centerpieces, chuppah (they built it!...
), and setting up and tearing down - everything was perfect. Carrie is also a very sweet and thoughtful person so she will make you feel at ease on your big day. Hiring bling in the barn was one of the best decisions I made and literally could not have done it without them. Thank you to the whole team you guys rock!!!!

p bling... Bling In The Barn is definitely a go to. I found Carrie on Facebook when I was looking into centerpieces & venue decorating in late 2017.
I knew once I met her, she was going to be my go to girl. Not only is she super professional, she becomes your friend throughout the process. I’m not a decorator by any means. I love Pinterest but I’m more on the Pinterest fails side when I do it myself 😂. Give this girl a budget and she will give you all she has to make your wedding dream looks come true. I highly recommend this company and will definitely be shouting out her name! Thank you Carrie & Bert for everything you do!!! Xoxo

Where do I even begin...Carrie is the sweetest person I know. From the moment I first started talking to her, I didn't feel like I was talking to a business that just wanted my mon...
ey. I felt that I was talking to a friend that wanted to make my wedding look amazing. My fiancée gave me a strict budget on decor. When I first saw the pictures on her page, I thought "There is no way I could afford this". I ended up messaging her regardless just to see. We ended up talking for hours about decor (& life 😂). She is sooooo relatable and understanding. She works with toy. She MADE SURE to stay within my budget and if things costed extra, she was so honest. I would recommend Bling in the Barn for EVERY EVENT. Besides Carrie's awesome personality, she is an amazing decorator! While discussing what to do for decor, I felt that Carrie just knew what I wanted and I trusted her to add/remove what she thought would be best! I was STUNNED, my family was stunned, and my friends were stunned when we finally saw the banquet room. Everything was so beautiful, I am SO happy I went with Bling in the Barn and met Carrie. If you want someone who actually cares about making sure you are happy, GO WITH BLING IN THE BARN! 💕

If I could give them 100 stars I would! Carrie & Bert are the best! They truly care about their clients, and they go above and beyond to make sure you have the best day ever!!
I'...
m a veterinarian and have an extremely busy schedule, it was so nice to have Carrie by my side. Since our first conversation on the phone I knew she was the right vendor for me! I hired Bling in the Barn for flowers, decor (including a Flower and Grass wall, and geometric arch!!!!) and day of coordination and my wedding would never have been as perfect as it was if it wasn't for them! Carrie truly became a friend throughout this whole experience. From our late night texts (which is so nice to be able to plan when I am not working my crazy hours!) to the inspiration photos and her willingness to try and recreate anything is phenomenal. You do not have to look any farther trust me they can create anything!!!!
I will admit I was little nervous about using faux flowers, but not ONE single person believed me when I said they were fake! SO many compliments on everything all day long. Not only that she truly wants to make your day perfect, so she sends picture updates to ensure you're happy months in advance!! Her attention to detail and willingness to drive to our venue to check out the place. like I said truly goes above and beyond their job description! For day of coordination my mom (MOB) couldn't stop calling our coordinator, Stephanie, our superpower because that's what she really was! No matter the issue she came up with a solution within a couple of minutes, and even ran errands for us the night before because we forgot important items for our ceremony! No questions asked just told me not to stress she will figure it out!
I can go on and on about how amazing this company is, and how much they helped me plan my wedding. I'm going to miss my late night calls/texts with these wonderful women, but know I have friends for life!
TLDR; Hire Bling in the Barn if you want the perfect wedding with momentos that will last a lifetime.

Ummm where is the 6 star option?
Carrie and her husband are hand down the best people I hired to help me out on my wedding day. Our venue was very strict on the timing for when w...
e could set up decorations and take them down and Carrie was very accommodating for that. She worked with me (and the venue) every step of the way! Carrie and Bert were there early setting up and they came back late after all the dancing was finished to take everything down. She made it so easy for us the next day!
I had a lot of small detail items I wanted out and Carrie was willing to do all of it! From my consultation meeting with her, I told her what I wanted and she went above and beyond with the final product! She had a great eye for style and gave me many options and choices before making a final decision. She even plans for the unexpected and thinks of things that I never would have even thought of.
She is a huge supporter of people in the public service (teachers/nurses etc) field and works with you to make sure you meet when the timing is right for you. She is always in a positive mood and is there for YOU. I remember she kept saying, "I like to make my brides happy, I will be your BFF throughout this". Needless to say, she made my day go and look absolutely perfect! I couldn't have done it without her! I still keep getting complements about it and its almost been a month since my wedding!

arn made it all happen for my husband and I and with that took my stress and anxiety and laid it on their shoulders no questions asked. Every time we spoke about every detail even to the tiniest detail when the conversation was up and I took a deep breath I knew I didn't have to keep worrying about it or questioning it I knew they had it all under control. The day of the wedding when I entered my wedding venue words couldn't express how beautiful and romantic it looked it came together just like I had envisioned and more. I couldn't have been happier the wedding of my dreams was beautiful all thanks to Bling In The Barn for listening, questioning, putting in their awesome taste in décor and improvising. I wish we could keep planning it was a joy talking to them about making an event unforgettable. Love you Guys!
