Trablume

Melissa was amazing to work with from the start ! Very communicative and thorough ! She made every effort to make our day seamless and everything she did was beautiful! Definitely recommend !

Melissa and her team at Trablume were amazing. Lots of people try to tell you that you can get by with minimal florals because they are expensive and you can spend that money on other things. But I (bride) was not one of those people. I wanted all the flowers and all the color that I could make work with our budget. Melissa worked with us to understand our vision and then make suggestions that would make the biggest impact visually, while staying within our budget. She was flexible with us throughout the planning process while we made little adjustments. And the night before (and morning of) when there was a threat of rain, the team had a back up plan to adjust the ceremony florals if we needed to make the decision to move inside. When it came to the actual execution of the decorations and personal florals, everything was better than we could have imagined. The bouquet and floral pocket square were so beautiful and complemented each other perfectly, our ceremony back drop was stunning and so intricate, and our reception room was transformed into all the best parts of my Pinterest board. We are so happy with the way everything turned out and both agree, out of all the vendors we worked with for our wedding, Trablume was the easiest 5 start review.

We got married May 18th at The Old Post Office and were blown away by Melissa’s work and her team! From the beginning, she was professional, so sweet, efficient, and she was able to capture my vision perfectly. The flowers were absolutely stunning and people still tell me how perfect they were. Melissa is super talented! We looked at MANY florists in the area and found others to be too commercialized, expensive, basic and have a “one size fits all approach”, Trablume really customized our flowers and delivered such beautiful work! I cannot recommend them enough!!!!

Melissa was so wonderful to work with for our wedding. She was so kind and sweet throughout the whole process and I felt her prices were more than reasonable. She was also very transparent with all her pricing which I really appreciated. Her proposal included photos of the different flowers and greenery she planned on using with a detailed price for each thing. Our initial ceremony was planned to be outside but had to be moved indoors due to rain. Melissa seamlessly adjusted the florals for the indoor venue and let us borrow her arch with fabric to create a beautiful backdrop. She helped alleviate so much of the stress of the rain.

I would work with Melissa 100 more times if I could. The flowers at our wedding exceeded our expectations, they were truly stunning. We talked a lot about the vision and Melissa executed it better than I ever could have imagined. From the very start, she was such a pleasure to work with and was there to answer all of my questions. When I wasn't sure what would look best, she made suggestions that came together perfectly. If you're looking for a florist in the Chicago area, look no further and work with Trablume!

Melissa went above and beyond to help me pull together my vision for flowers for our wedding. I admit that I didn’t quite know what I wanted when I started, but Melissa took my loose vision and turned it into gorgeous, elegant arrangements. My family couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the table arrangements and bouquets were and one aunt even took an arrangement home! Thank you, Melissa for making our wedding day so beautiful!

Melissa understood and executed what I envisioned and more! She was so helpful and kind during the entire process, everything was beautiful!

Melissa was nothing short of amazing! She worked closely with my mother, my coordinator and me to make our vision come to light! In addition, to her thoughtful planning- she was quick on her feet when things like the weather and venue did not go as planned! She comforted my wedding coordinator, who helped comfort me. Above all else, the florals, centerpieces, and alter was breathtaking! I am forever grateful that she was a part of my big day! I highly recommend! Thank you, Melissa. ♥️

Melissa and her team are amazing. She is incredibly kind and flexible. She welcomed us to her studio and helped make our vision real and provided great input and suggestions. She didn't have the vases I was looking for, but agreed to use ours. She was timely with emails and texts replies and easy to talk to. She made our tables look AMAZING. She was transparent about pricing and updates too and complimentary with various costs that really helped us out. She did not forget anything on the day of. She was very trustworthy and would gladly recommend her again! My wedding planner approved too!

I had the pleasure of working with Melissa for my wedding, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the initial consultation to the big day, she was incredible and her professionalism, creativity, and exceptional attention to detail was outstanding! On the wedding day, the flowers were delivered promptly, and the setup was flawless. 10/10 would recommend working with Trablume

Trablume did a beautiful job with the florals for my wedding day! Melissa was so easy to work with and did the most wonderful job translating my vision for my wedding day florals into reality. For our table centerpieces, we wanted simple bud vases with vibrant pops of jewel-tone flowers, and Trablume delivered beyond what I could have imagined. Guests were raving about the beautiful florals and we were so in love with them as well. I was in love with my bouquet and loved how Melissa was able to incorporate some of my favorite florals and colors, like lavender and red roses. Even the gift and card table was so beautiful and intentional with the flowers and their placement. Trablume incorporated delicate sunflowers (my mom's favorite flower) which was so meaningful to me and really brought me joy when I saw them on my wedding day.

We had a venue with unusual colors , which presented a challenge to the floral designer. Melissa more than delivered. She was able to meet our need to compliment the venue colors & the bridesmaid dresses and our desire to use native plants. And what she originally proposed was what was delivered. No last minute substitutions.! She is a true artist

I absolutely loved working with Trablume! Melissa handled all the smallest details and brought my vision to life. She was also SO helpful to finalize my vision when picking florals was one of the most difficult decision I made for our wedding. I told her the colors I was leaning toward and she took over the rest. I couldn’t recommend Trablume more!

Melissa and her team were so amazing to work with! From the first call she understood my vision and provided detailed proposals back and worked with me on few occasions when I changed my mind or certain numbers changed. It blew my expectations out of the water!

Melissa was easy to work with. Had a relatively simple wedding - but she got exactly what I was looking for. Flowers were delivered on time, set up properly and exactly as we expected. Would recommend working with her for your wedding

Melissa was so wonderful to work with!! She truly understood our vision like no one else and executed it flawlessly! The florals and greenery she put together for us looked stunning - the compliments from all our guests for her work were endless! Thank you for everything Melissa!!

Trablume was a dream to work with from start to finish. Our wedding venue looked absolutely amazing and we got so many compliments, even from the venue staff! Melissa worked with us within our budget to create a stunning space with a romantic vibe. I couldn’t recommend her and the team at Trablume Floral Design enough! We’re forever grateful!

Melissa was amazing! She was patient, responsive, adaptive, and reliable on our big day. I didn’t have to worry about a thing because she made my entire vision come to life. Her detail and patience with me from day one was rare and appreciated. I highly recommend her for your big day!

Working with Melissa and Trablume was amazing. Melissa is so kind, patient, and completely understood our vision! She even provided recommendations for how to enhance the arrangements we were considering. During the floral mock-up, I was in awe of my bouquet and centerpieces she laid out for me. I could only imagine how everything would look on the big day and she did not disappoint!! The chuppah was breathtaking. All our guests could not stop admiring and complimenting the incredible job that she did. All of the additional details she included were so special and everything came together perfectly - all of the bouquets, the romantic sweetheart table, dreamy staircase decor, and again jaw dropping chuppah. We feel so lucky that we had the opportunity to work with Melissa on our special day!! She is an amazing florist and will provide the most beautiful blooms for any special occasion.

Working with Melissa was wonderful! I don’t know much about flowers, but she was great at recreating the vision I had in mind and based on a few inspiration photos. Her pricing was very upfront and reasonable. The bouquets and centerpieces were better than I could have imagined. I will definitely be coming back if I have any future events where florals are needed. I highly recommend TraBlume!

Melissa and her team from Trablume were absolutely amazing to work with! From the first call to discuss our vision all the way to the final reveal, we were always in great hands. Noteworthy, Melissa was more than willing to work within our budget to make our vision a reality. Thank you again, Melissa, and the staff at Trablume! Mr. and Mrs. Koehler

Melissa and Trablume we're incredible to work with! She came with great ideas and kept an open dialogue to make sure we were happy on our big day. We got so many comments on the flowers and arrangements! I highly recommend!!

Melissa is not only amazingly talented but she is kind and thoughtful. Not one thing will get overlooked. Her attention to detail and willingness to make your day special is her top priority. She is an amazing listener and will work with you to get exactly what you want. We found her through a friend and she truly saved the wedding for us because we were struggling with a previous florist. You will not regret going with Melissa, she will exceed your expectations in every way. Thanks Melissa you’re amazing, you made this Mother in law and everyone else very happy!

Melissa was one of our favorite vendors - she is so sweet, considerate and thoughtful at every step. I was a bit worried about how the alter area would turn out, translating my vision into reality but what she did was so very pretty and we loved it!! Thank you Melissa for everything!

Melissa was amazing to work with for my wedding. I love flowers but I am no flower expert and so Melissa suggested a Pinterest board with florals I like to help create exactly what I wanted. Any time I had a new idea on a color pop, Melissa responded quickly. All of the florals were absolutely beautiful for the wedding party, tables and additional details that Johanna put her touch on at the venue on the day of. Melissa was extremely responsive throughout the wedding planning process and overall was a joy to work with!

Melissa was a joy to work with. We got engaged in 2020 and she worked with us through all the ups and downs. We were lucky to have her this year after our ceremony got pushed back. She was the first vendor there and had most things set up before we even arrived. We were fielding comments all night with how lovely everything was. We even saved a few centerpieces to use the following day for brunch. They still looked incredible. Thank you, Melissa for everything!

We hired traBlume for our winter wedding florals and they did an absolutely incredible job! Melissa brought our vision to life and created the perfect bouquets for myself and my bridesmaids. They fulfilled every request and went above and beyond to make sure the centerpieces, decor, and backdrop were perfect. I 100% recommend Melissa and traBlume!

Trablume crushed it! Our bouquets were wonderful and the wedding arch looked stunning. They really brought a lot of life to our wedding photos. They are on the pricey side, but the quality of the flowers and arrangements, including for our head table and dinner tables, were all top notch. The boutonnières for the groomsmen and corsages were delicate and beautiful. Very well done.

If you’re looking for florals, look no further and book with Melissa & Trablume. I had my wedding a few weeks ago and the florals were definitely one of my favorite parts of the day. Melissa really helped my vision come to life for the day. She was super easy to communicate with and work with, and everything was absolutely stunning. She made everything so easy. I highly, highly recommend working with Melissa.

Trablume took care of our flowers for our wedding in July. They were a pleasure to work with and the flowers were absolutely gorgeous. Melissa was really responsive to our requests, she included a gorgeous blue-green thistle at my husband's request as thistle was part of his alma mater's crest.

Trablume did a fantastic job at our wedding. My wedding vision was realized when Trablume arrived at our venue. Every little detail was perfect from the flowers to greenery ratio to the quality of the flowers to the arch display, table settings, and aisle decor. Melissa Owens is extremely accommodating and will do everything she can to make your wedding dream come to life. She even decorated our escort card shelving that was not in the contract. We had a room flip during the cocktail hour. She was able to recycle the aisle decor and use it as our table settings to help us cut costs. Trablume and Melissa Owens were a pleasure to work with and I will be recommending them to my friends and family.

Melissa is a truly talented florist and was amazing to work with from start to finish. She was communicative, went out of her way to work through our four COVID-induced date reschedules, and was flexible (+ patient) with last minute additions and changes to our florals. She transformed both our ceremony and reception spaces and made them feel magical - more so then I even dreamed of. Do yourself a favor and book Melissa now - and if she suggests a deconstructed floral arch for the ceremony, take her advice :)

Melissa is the absolute best! Her flower design was beyond gorgeous and was wonderful to work with. I could not recommend her higher!

Melissa was amazing to work with! Her arrangements are gorgeous and she is transparent with pricing. She listened to what I wanted and made beautiful arrangements. I got many compliments from guests about the bouquets, table settings and ceremony decorations. She delivered the bouquets, boutonnières and corsages on time to our hotel and handled the set up at the venue. Everything was in place and beautiful when we arrived. I highly recommend Melissa and Trablume!

Melissa's work is simply gorgeous! Her flowers were the highlight of our Milwaukee wedding this Spring and we couldn't have asked for better service and attention to detail. She took care of everything from set up to take down and my bridal bouquet was more than I could have asked for. ❤ Definitely would recommend Trablume to others to elevate your wedding to the next level!

Melissa was a dream to work with! My wife and I don't know much about flowers and admittedly it was the part of our wedding we needed the most guidance on. Melissa was a non-stop ideas factory. She started with some very basic questions like our favorite colors and spun them into gold. Once we started getting more into the process with Melissa, we never heard the word "no". Anything we suggested was possible. We had a COVID wedding in early May 2021, so we could only have 50 people in the room (down from over 250) and Melissa's flowers and accoutrement filled the space beautifully. We knew we wanted an arch at the altar with some flowers, and that became the perfect centerpiece for the ceremony. Like, tear-inducingly gorgeous. We spent nearly 30 minutes taking pictures in front of it after the ceremony. We cannot recommend Melissa and Trablume enough! Such a joy from beginning to end!

Melissa was absolutely the best to work with. I wasn’t exactly what I was looking for, and she walked me thru each detail and made it easy and fun! The result was amazingly beautiful and I got so many compliments, even from the venue manager…who I’m sure sees hundreds of flowers in a wedding season. I highly recommend Trablume for your wedding.

I got married in July 2021 and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about working with Melissa! I wasn't really sure how to describe exactly what I wanted, but with all my comments/feedback she was able to capture my vision completely. Aside from the gorgeous flowers, of course, she did an exceptional job on the tablescapes for our reception. I didn't expect my florist to do that, and not only did she do it but she knocked it out of the park! The candles, the vases, the flowers...they all came together beautifully. I would definitely utilize Trablume again!

We simply cannot say enough great things about Melissa. From the beginning, to the very end, she was extremely helpful anytime we had questions, or needed immediate feedback. She made the entire process a breeze, and took the stress out of everything. Melissa was very professional and provided the most beautiful and breathtaking flowers / displays. The flowers turned out beautiful, and perfect in every way, she brought my vision to life.. Melissa is amazing, and we are so happy we worked with them. We cannot recommend them enough!

The flowers are everything that I envisioned. They are so beautiful! We hired Trablume to make my floral vision come true and they exceeded my expectations. My bouquet had such beautiful flowers on It- anemones, eskimo roses, eucalyptus, veronica, and succulents. I had an arch made for the ceremony and sweetheart table that was breathtaking. In addition, they added an arrangement to the seating chart wall that essentially left me breathless as well. The entryway and the staircase was beautifully designed and I just cannot rave enough about Trablume.

Melissa did a great job making recommendations for every detail of our flowers based on her experience and our vision for the wedding. The colors and style I requested were perfectly displayed. After postponing our wedding a full year, we had various stylistic changes that were easily accommodated. She turned a somewhat sterile ballroom into a romantic ceremony & reception with fresh eucalyptus draping from chandeliers and totally tasteful centerpieces, aisle decor, and large displays/vases. Bridal and bridesmaid bouquets were the exact sizes I requested (I really didn’t want a huge bouquet). Melissa and her team arrived early to deliver bouquets to bridesmaids, and helped all of the groomsmen pin their boutonnières. Guests complimented the flowers and there were zero hiccups in the entire process! Thank you Melissa!! 😊

We LOVED our flowers from Trablume! They were more beautiful than I could have imagined. Melissa was easy to work with and created a detailed proposal so that we knew exactly what to expect. She captured my vision perfectly.

We worked with Trablume for our August 2021 wedding and were extremely happy with the service and flowers! Melissa had great communication throughout the process and handily accommodated our budget and even one venue change. The flowers (reds/pinks for summer floral theme) totally fit my vision of the day and were delivered and set up with no problems. Thank you Trablume and Melissa! Your flowers were beautiful, and you made the process stress-free.

Melissa and her team were the best. I'm not the best with flowers but somehow she nailed everything I had floating around in my head. Her florals really made our whole venue shine. When I initially reached out, she took the time to listen to my must haves ( I wanted very specific flowers in my bouquet to honor my grandmothers and my mother). Additionally, we booked in summer 2020 for a 2021 wedding and Melissa could not have been more flexible and accommodating of our ever changing wedding plans. She worked with my mom to navigate our ever changing guest list for table settings and was always so gracious. I would work with her again in a heartbeat.

We had a fantastic experience working with Melissa and Trablume. Everything turned out absolutely beautiful. Melissa made everything that I envisioned come true and delivered with such ease. She was very easy to work with and helped make our planning process as simple as possible. Can't recommend enough!

Melissa was AMAZING!!! By far my favorite vendor! I was a COVID bride (originally 6/20/20, switched twice, finally did it on 7/30/21) so I had a ton of rescheduling and communication to deal with, and she was incredibly understanding, flexible, and sweet through the whole process. Also, the flowers turned out perfectly, exactly what I envisioned, I got SOOO many compliments on them all day and on pictures later. Thanks again Melissa!
