Nancy Krause Floral Design & Garden Antiques

An absolute wonder of a designer! Nancy was a pleasure to work with form the beginning. I had a very complicated vision in mind for our vein rage themed wedding and she took it above and beyond our wildest dreams. Her calm demeanor, organization and creativity made our wedding floral decor a success. I asked her to decorate vintage objects for each table centerpiece and she found ways to surround each perfectly! She worked with our budget and vision. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

Nancy was amazing to work with!! She was extremely flexible and accommodating, especially as we were adjusting our plans somewhat last minute! Nancy took my inspiration pictures and created something better than I even imagined. Everything from my bouquet to the wrist corsages matched the style of our wedding perfectly. Even the little faux bouquets for my flower girls were so cute and indestructible--they definitely put them to the test! I would highly recommend Nancy, so kind in all of our communications and quick to respond to my questions. Perfect choice for us!!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Nancy! Weddings can be extremely stressful, but she instantly put us at ease and was extremely knowledgeable. She was not only accommodating when it came to our budget, but also made us feel like her number one priority. We would absolutely work with Nancy again and highly recommend her!

Nancy was the best! I couldn't ask for a better experience, and I absolutely loved how all of the floral arrangements turned out! Nancy was so sweet and knowledgeable about everything wedding florals, and she took the time to help me pick out the exact flowers to be used to match my colors and ideas! Nancy was also so helpful on the wedding day, making sure that flowers all got where they needed to be! I was so appreciative!! I HIGHLY recommend Nancy!

Nancy was the perfect choice for our wedding florals. She was extremely easy to work with and you could tell at first meeting that she is very passionate and precise with her work. If you’re looking for unique, high quality florals for your wedding, I highly recommend Nancy! She will not miss a detail throughout the process and on your wedding day.

I had an amazing experience working with Nancy. She was responsive, flexible and truly cared about our wedding and making it perfect. She is SO extremely knowledgable about flowers and made the most beautiful bouquets and boutonnieres for us. She was so understanding and helped us make the best decisions to stay within our budget. I definitely recommend Nancy for any of your floral needs!

I had a wonderful experience working with Nancy for the flowers for our wedding. She was incredibly responsive, informative and easy to work with throughout the process. She made time for in-person meetings so that she could show me flowers I might like and I found that very helpful since I'm not someone who knows much about flowers. On the day of the wedding, she delivered everything on time, set up the aisle runner and ceremony pieces and helped the guys get their flowers on their jackets. I would definitely work with her again!!

Nancy was the BEST! My flowers turned out beautifully and were exactly what I was looking for. She was so easy to work with, and her flowers were fresh, colorful, and smelled amazing. Book Nancy for your wedding; you won't regret it!

Nancy did such a great job with the flowers for my small destination wedding. I was anxious about arranging all the details for our Chicago wedding while living in Los Angeles, but Nancy was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to emails. My husband and I are both foodies and I wanted that incorporated into our flowers - Nancy made that happen. She worked kale, rosemary and lavender into our arrangements with out making them look over the top. She was also able to create beautiful floral pieces to accompany a family heirloom headpiece. I enjoyed working with Nancy and highly recommend!

Would highly recommend Nancy for any bride looking for a local Chicago florist! She was one of the first to respond to my request for bouquets for my wedding. She was quick to respond, extremely accommodating with my request, and so very helpful. Ultimately I chose another florist due to Nancy being out of my budget, but I have no doubt she would have executed everything perfectly.

Nancy was fantastic to work with. I'm a planner so I was eager to find good vendors and put down deposits many months in advance. Her flower arrangements are lovely and she has great people skills. Nancy was quick to respond to my questions and game to meet far in advance of the big day—which I really appreciated. I considered other vendors but they were were not as communicative and kind as Nancy. And her shop in Lincoln Park is adorable

We loved working with Nancy! Our flowers and table settings were beautiful. She helped make a unique and special room even more stunning. Nancy made the whole planning process very smooth. She was quickly responsive and accommodated all of our needs (including working within our budget and making multiple deliveries for personal flowers). It was a great experience and I definitely recommend working with her!

Oh my goodness. I can't say enough nice things about Nancy. She really listened to the bride and delivered exactly what the bride wanted. It was a small rooftop wedding and Nancy knew just how to use the space. I always had the sense that she cared more about making the bride happy and delivering a superb product than making money. The end result was a beautifully elegant affair. Nancy is a great listener, has a wonderful eye for design and very easy to work with. Don't look any further.

Nancy did an amazing job for my daughter's wedding. The flowers were really important to me and she knocked it out of the park. We had 26 tables and each arrangement was slightly different. The peonies and allium were huge and so colorful. The way she incorporates succulents is amazing. The best part is that she took the lace off of my wedding dress and used it to wrap my daughter's bouquet. That was so special and I cried when I saw it. Nancy is fun to work with and she is on time and on top of everything.

Nancy is an incredibly gifted florist and is able to create beautiful and unique designs. She provided all of the flowers for our wedding and people were RAVING! I didn't know exactly what I wanted when I first met with her but after our first meeting she absolutely nailed the look we were going for. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and so unique! Our guests could not stop talking about how great they looked. Not only does Nancy create gorgeous floral designs but we were able to use her mercury vases as centerpieces. Planning with her was so seamless, she took care of everything and created absolutely beautiful flowers for our wedding. Definitely book her for all your flower needs!

Nancy and her team designed and created the floral arrangements for our wedding. They did a beautiful job! I did not have a specific vision for our wedding, I only knew that I wanted lots of color and texture. Nancy was able to take this information and run with it. She is extremely knowledgeable and has a lot of good experience (her website speaks for iteself). She was very communicative and easy to get a hold of- working closely with me as well as the hotel wedding coordinator. She replied promptly to all emails and provided advice whenever I needed it. The floral arrangements they delivered on the day of the wedding exceeded all expectations. The bouquets, boutonnieres and table arrangements coordinated with each other without being too precious and the eucalyptus garland the team created for the head table was a tasteful and unique touch. Our guests complimented the arrangements right away and three weeks after the wedding, we are still receiving positive feedback. Nancy, thank you for everything. I truly enjoyed the experience and hope for an opportunity to work together again in the future.

Nancy Krause did the flowers for our wedding and we loved them! Everything that she did (from our first meeting to the flowers on the day of) was professional and thoughtful. She never pushed us to spend more than we wanted or to spend money just for the sake of it, and she helped us combine fresh flowers with candles, lanterns, etc, to make our reception site beautiful! She was always available for questions and even came out to the reception site with us to help us decide if we needed additional flowers or lighting (which we didn't, and she did not push us to buy them). On the wedding day, she was available and prompt, she delivered all of the flowers for the wedding party to our hotel (and helped make sure bouquets and boutonnieres were perfect!) before setting up our flowers at the reception site. Everything was beautiful, and Nancy was there for us from start to finish. Our favorite wedding vendor!

Nancy Krause is amazing! My flowers were perfect. She had fantastic suggestions, completely understood my vision and took my vision to another level. She takes so much pride in her work and was at both the church and reception making sure everything was perfect.

I don't know much about flowers, but I had saved pictures that I liked for bridal and bridesmaid bouquets. Nancy was able to take the common elements from the pictures I showed her and came up with bouquets that perfectly fit my taste. They were beautiful, and look great with the dresses. They were also very unique. Nancy also was able to incorporate a random flower into the cake decorations to appease my then fiance. Overall, she was well worth the price!

The brides bouquet turned out amazing and lasted throughout the day. Unfortunate, the bridesmaid and grooms flowers were not crafted as well. The grooms boutonniere was completely wilted after the service and will need Photoshop to restore its place in the images off the alter. The price paid for the limited flowers we did have was not worth it.

We worked with Nancy for the flowers and lighting for our wedding. Simply put, she was magnificent - knowing and providing both what we wanted and what we needed, all very economically. It is clear that she loves weddings and her artistic and professional manner was an absolute delight. She mastered all the details and even helped facilitate the details with other vendors when we had to move everything inside day-of due to weather. Working with Nancy was THE BEST decision we made as regards vendors for our wedding. Look no further...

Nothing speaks to a guy like flowers, Nancy really brought out the sensitivity in a otherwise very reserved groom. Nancy was a pleasure to work with. She is creative, witty and a lot of fun. She created beautiful arrangements within our budget. She got us what we wanted at the price we were willing to pay.

Nancy did such an amazing job for our wedding. My husband and I eloped, but I still wanted a bouquet and boutonniere for pictures, etc. We were in constant contact throughout the process through email and phone and built a great relationship. Everything came out gorgeous and I loved it all so much! I'd recommend Nancy to anyone!
