The Petal

and find a way to make our final design unique to our day. Tajalli took the time to understand my taste and preferences and was always quick to respond to questions and changes. She also did a fantastic job accommodating a last minute request for some additional greenery to be installed around our banquet room. Her design and arrangements created the perfect ambience and finishing touch to our party!

er issues, but tried her best to still create what we wanted (& succeeded at that)! 10/10 would recommend (:

hen we realized we were somehow missing one bridesmaid bouquet mid-photos on our wedding day, Tajalli was quick to fix and whipped up another one. She was so in tune with my style from the get go that I knew we were in good hands! Thank you Tajalli and the rest of The Petal team!

ea of having soft blooms and lush greenery at my wedding and she made it happen immediately. When my wedding had to be rescheduled she didn't ask any questions and just moved the date. Thank you so much for making our wedding floral dreams come true!

breathtaking! I also added on ceremony florals late in the planning process and Tajalli slayed! My husband also surprised me the day after our wedding with a 30th birthday brunch - Tajalli worked with him on repurposing our centerpieces for the brunch. I highly recommend !!!

lso dealt with numerous changes during the planning process as covid and guest counts evolved, we postponed our wedding, and I changed my mind about designs. Through all of it she was extremely patient. The only hiccup was that in the last of one of these many proposals, there was a calculation error which then later meant that we had to go above the original budget to support everything we wanted. However, with how beautiful everything turned out, it was all worth it in the end! Thanks Tajalli!!

geous.

wedding, the centerpieces, and a greenery install at our venue, Quincy Hall. Tajalli made sure I was informed about pricing and logistics the entire process. She did setup and take down, so I didn't have to worry about coordinating that. During the early stages of planning Tajalli took time to understand my vision. She sent over vision boards to make sure she was seeing what I imagined correctly. When I saw my flowers and walked into my venue, everything was perfect. The flowers held up all night, the bouts didn't fall apart, and the installation that she did created a perfect soft and romantic feel we were going for. I highly recommend The Petal!

es I couldn’t have imagined looking as good as they did. She made the whole process so incredibly easy. Her sweet and calm nature is exactly what you will need. I can’t thank her enough, my wedding flowers were everything I wanted and more!!!!

ally accommodating with COVID-19 and our constantly changing plans and we’re so thankful that she was a part of our day!

vision board and she took it from there. No stress, all excitement and she DELIVERED flawlessly! Her attention to detail is like no other and she was so kind and fun to work with. She was so incredible in every way! It’s been a few days since the wedding and people are still talking about our flowers and how incredible everything looked! Tajalli and The Petal were the best!

ly easy to work with and knows what she is doing. I would highly recommend the Petal for your wedding day!

al was the one. She understood my vision right away and was able to keep it within my budget. She was incredibly flexible with my busy schedule and always on top of what needed to be done. On my big day, everything was exactly how I envisioned. I am SO happy with how our flowers looked. The Petal truly helped my wedding day dreams come true!!

s, and that was about it. Working with Tajali was so smooth from the first meeting and we really felt like she understood our vision from the beginning. After our first meeting, she already provided an extensive mood board that we were really able to funnel our thoughts and ideas into. We changed our bridesmaids dresses from blush to grey about midway through, and she was seamlessly able to make changes accordingly. Furthermore, we had an idea for a large statement hanging installation with absolutely no clear details to give her. But Tajali took so much initiative doing research, reaching out to our vendors, etc. and ended up creating a piece beyond our expectations. On the day of the wedding, her team was so great and took care of everything without adding any stress whatsoever. Overall, from the beginning, Tajali and her team were able to take a bunch of ideas and random pictures, and really build amazing pieces while helping us stay within our budget. At not point did I question Tajali. Her confidence in herself and her ability to understand our ideas removed so much stress from our planning process. She really made something that I didn't care much about going into planning turn into one of my favorite memories of our wedding.

phone consultation was easy to read and follow. The style board she sent me captured my vision completely. She hand delivered personals the day of my wedding (such a personal touch) and upon seeing my bouquet my eyes filled with tears! My bouquet was absolutely gorgeous! Everything from the pillar candles that lined the aisle to the huge arch where I said, "I do" were beyond perfect. If I had to get married all over again, I would 100% include The Petal. It was the best decision I made!

arrival of my dress. She was the quickest one to respond out of all my vendors which helped decrease my stress level. Every single detail was attended too!

had some late in the game/last minute changes and she handled everything with no problems. I would definitely recommend The Petal.

y until we got deeper into planning, and she truthfully made all of our dreams come true. In the midst of my own wedding planning, I myself started my own wedding business and worked with a local florist where I learned more and more about flowers. I made specific requests along the way (which, I totally know is annoying-sorry Taj!), and had to also make some nearly last minute changes and she never once told me no or that she couldn't do something or that my budget was too low. It is hard to come by vendors who are both down-to-earth AND talented and with Tajalli you will absolutely get the best of both worlds. I will never forget the moment I walked into our venue and saw everything I had been dreaming of come to life exactly as I imagined-her work literally brought me to (happy) tears. A million thank yous, Tajalli! xoxoxoxo

ther it’s bouquets, centerpieces, or a show-stopping floral archway. She is also such a pleasure to work with! I cannot recommend her more whole-heartedly!

my colors and what I didn't want she she ran with it and did a fantastic job. Choose The Petal, you won't regret it.

sional, willing to work within our budget, and most importantly, the flowers turned out organic and beautiful!! Our tables were simple and elegant and we loved all of the votive candles Tajalli incorporated. We highly recommend working with The Petal!

ean inspired bouquets/arrangements using lots of olive branches + cream/white flowers and she nailed it! I also had a few giant urns of just olive branches at the reception that were so fun & looked incredible. Very glad I chose her! She was awesome to work with.

able arrangements, centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages. She has a real talent for this job. You can count yourself lucky to have Tajalli and the rest of The Petal team working for you at your event. Highly recommended.

gave me lots of options and quickly made adjustments in the planning stages to designs/flowers I liked or disliked. The flowers were gorgeous, and I would highly recommend going with the arch decorated in flowers during the ceremony, which we repurposed to use at our sweetheart table at the reception. Just be sure to remind your guests not to take the medium sized compotes at the end of the night. We will definitely be using The Petal for any flowers that we need in the future. Thanks again! S +A

ding and I was so so pleased with the outcome!

tations. She also really paid attention to my needs with my budget and offered cheaper alternatives while still keeping my overall vision in mind. On the day of the wedding she was on site and made sure everything looked absolutely perfect. All of my friends and guests were raving about how beautiful my flowers were - they were absolutely stunning. Definitely am recommending the petal to all of my newly engaged friends to use for their wedding.

Bride], really appreciate our time and the whole wedding process so much more. Her work speaks for herself, since I didn’t have an actual picture of what I wanted. She called me one evening and I literally used adjectives, like romantic, classic, whimsical. Tajalli took my words and formed them into incredible pieces for my wedding! Please just go for it with Tajalli and The Petal. Their work is beyond amazing, and their professionalism sets the company a notch above the others. Her prices are fair, she’s willing to work with you as your mind changes, and you will literally gasp as you see everything on your Wedding Day. Thank you Tajalli and The Petal Team! You all are so amazing and helped me have an amazing and BEAUTIFUL wedding!

wedding would have been the same. She is truly a master of her craft and a complete business professional regarding booking, planning and details overall. Do not hesitate when trying to choose a florist. Everything from the hanging backdrop, to the centerpieces and the accents to the stunning bridal bouquet and boutonnieres were gorgeous. In the age we live in we all drool over Social Media worthy details and The Petal did not disappoint. Everything looked perfect and as if it was out of a magazine. I truly recommend "The Petal" and will continue to support and recommend them to anyone looking for a florist. Thanks again for making our special day that much more magical.

ate right after the conversation - so I had a full picture of what she envisioned. She handled everything from the ceremony to the reception to the bridal party flowers. Her arrangements are gorgeous and tasteful. And she's a local mom with her own business. 100% fantastic lady.

how beautiful her flowers were and knew that I didn't need to worry about anything for our wedding. Tajalli was incredible. We had phone interviews to understand what we were looking for and she sent a sample email with what ideas she had in mind. When the day came I was floored. The flowers were so much better in person and we received so many compliments on them. Tajalli was easy to work with, convenient, and responded quickly. She made the whole process that much easier to handle. Thank you so much Tajalli for your incredible work!!

s so easy. After a conversation about my vision, she sent over a style board that was absolutely perfect! She was also able to add some last minute greenery for our longer than expected head table. Tajalli's work was amazing and we received compliments on the flowers all day. We are so happy we chose The Petal and would highly recommend!

edding. I told Tajalli my thoughts, and she sent me a design board immediately, nailing every idea I had and providing suggestions to make everything more beautiful. I met with one other florist the next day, and not only were they more than double the price of the Petal, they did not share my vision the way that Tajalli did. We could not be happier that we chose the Petal. Bridesmaids gushed over their flowers, and we received so many compliments from guests. Tajalli, I cannot wait to host another event to use you again! Thank you so much for making our day so beautiful.

e Chicago area before our wedding. Our phone call went well and she told me she would email me a proposal and we had a date picked out to meet for our consultation. Two weeks later, when I arrived in Chicago I emailed her again to confirm our meeting and ask about the proposal as I had still not gotten it yet. She emailed me two days later to tell me that she was no longer available for my wedding date. That would have been nice to know before I had gotten there because my time was limited to meet with vendors. If you are planning from out of town or have a busy schedule, maybe The Petal isn't the best choice.

She was more than willing to stay within our budget and provided us with multiple pricing options, which was great. The flowers/decor themselves were absolutely stunning and exactly what I was looking for based on the moodboard I shared. I highly recommend to others! with and more than willing to work within our budget. She was able to emulate the moodboard I sent beautifully

n contacted the venue to make sure she could hang a floral piece correctly. Isn't that what you want your wedding team to be like? She is sweet as can be, super kind, and has an eye for beauty. She is truly the best.

sant to work with as well. Highly recommended.

so I didn't know what to expect. My bouquet, the table arrangements and flowers at my ceremony were stunning. I couldn't be more happy with the outcome. Tajalli was easy to work with and took care of everything. I am very grateful and would recommend her for future events!

dding to make adjustments to our plans. She helped me stay within budget and delivered everything as promised. She even dealt with three different delivery locations between where my fiance and I were getting ready, plus the venue. Everything was absolutely gorgeous, and I still get compliments on the flowers. We made a great investment and felt that everything was reasonably priced! I will treasure the photos of our wedding flowers for years to come.

g array of flowers, greenery and candles. Her style is sleek and beautiful with a touch of flair. I don't speak flower very well, but she patiently looked at my pinterests boards and magazine clippings and deciphered exactly what I hoped for but couldn't quite express. It was amazing when it all came together. A million thank yous!

real sticker shock! Just the Set up fee was 2/3 of my budget. I ended up calling the Petal and I explained to her what I wanted and gave her my budget. She was very quick to put something together that worked for me, and was very receptive of any changes I wanted to make. When the big day came everything was stunning! I got so many compliments on the flowers and my bouquet! Even my photographer said it was one of the prettiest bouquets she has seen. And she has photographed 40 different weddings just this year. I couldn't be happier. The pricing was very fair, and the end result was even better than I had hoped for. 10/10 would use the Petal again! Thank you for helping me make my big day so special and so beautiful.

ed the contract. Tajalli asked for photos to understand what it is I was looking for, as many florist merely gave a rough estimate of cost running thousands without knowing any details to our arrangements. Tajalli's prices definitely out beat other florists I came in contact with, and I am pleased to have had someone personable and detail oriented in her work. The pinterest photos I had as inspiration to my wedding day matched even better in person to the tee. On my crazy wedding morning, Tajalli even took the time at the ceremony to stick around for about more than a half hour to help our groomsmen with boutonnieres, flower girls with crowns, mothers with corsages, and until the very last minute waited for me and my bridesmaids arrival to hand off our bouquets without even asking. The Petal was an easy process to work with and I would definitely recommend them to my family and friends in the future! Thank you Tajalli.

d her help throughout the wedding planning process. She was also one of the only florists in Chicago, out of the many I spoke to, that did not snicker at my budget. After our initial conversation, she sent some follow-up questions that really showed me that she cared about my cultural background and how it is incorporated into the wedding flowers. She then sent a proposal a couple weeks later (I was not in any rush because there was plenty of time) that was detailed and exactly within my budget. After signing the contract, we did not speak again until about 4 months before wedding date. I had a change in reception venue and Tajalli met me at the new venue to make necessary changes to the plan. She was able to get me a new plan in a short time. She also lessened my stress level and coordinated with both of my venues personally without direction from me. For example, I had a miscommunication with the ceremony venue about set-up time. I told Tajalli about it and she reached out to the coordinator at the Nature Museum and took care of the entire situation for me. Tajalli is extremely detail oriented but also very efficient. She always sent follow up questions to make sure that everything was exactly as I wanted but only after careful evaluation of what has already been discussed. I added a couple things last minute and all I needed to do was email her to let her know. Tajalli personally delivered my bouquets, boutonnieres, and flower baskets to our hotel and was on time despite the crazy traffic on Memorial Day weekend in downtown Chicago. The beautiful flowers and the ceremony arch (photos attached) - I did not have a specific color combination for my wedding or for the flowers. I gave Tajalli some photos of flowers I liked and the general colors to avoid for a Chinese wedding. I could not have asked for more gorgeous arrangements. The ceremony arch was so perfect against the backdrop of the Nature Museum. I felt beautiful going down the aisle (thank goodness Tajalli reminded me to hold the bouquet lower). Tajalli also made my crazy idea happen. I wanted to move the arch from the ceremony to my reception venue and convert it into a photobooth backdrop. All Tajalli said was “okay, I think I can make that happen” and she did. My family and friends loved it! When I donated my wedding flowers to Random Acts of Flowers the next day, the director gushed at the beautiful arrangements. Thank you so much for making our wedding even more special.

to Tajalli and The Petal. She was calm and patient and told me she could absolutely help me stay within budget. She was always readily available by phone or email. She would quickly turn around and show me different options and flowers. When it came time to finalize our order, she sent me detailed outlines of how many of each item and what the item would look like. She always always ready to make alterations to our order and sent me many pictures of what I was asking for from previous weddings. On the day of, she showed up on time, was very calm (which helped me stay calm) and made sure all the flowers were in place. She explained what we needed to do with our flowers (we were using them as the center pieces later that night) and how to hold them. She then delivered and did the same for the groomsmen. The ceremony was absolutely stunning. We were so happy with her service that, last minute, we decided to use her for the rehearsal dinner the night before. She kept with the same color scheme and made gorgeous arrangements that we were also able to use on the wedding night. I HIGHLY recommend using The Petal for any and all your flower needs. I will definitely be using her in the future.

ompletely transform my reception space from an industrial loft to a romantic garden feel. The way that she assembled my altar was exactly how I had pictured it. The long tables were absolutely perfect decorated with the gold vases I provided her and the greenery was beautiful. I can't say enough about how amazing she is. If you are looking for a florist for your wedding book The Petal and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed!
