We used Urban Sense for our October 9th 2021 wedding and could not have been any happier with the flowers and the service Urban Sense gave us. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and made our wedding day even more beautiful!!!
We got the usua...
l bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages for all of our wedding party. We also had two tall orchid trees that were used in our ceremony and then behind the head table, they were the perfect focal point and were just stunning. Lastly, we had two different centerpieces for our guest tables, they added the perfect touch of elegance and beauty to the tables. The donut vases being our favorite with the orchids and other flowers being woven through it-just breathtaking. All the pieces were different yet cohesive and pulled all our design elemts together.
The flower choices were the perfect color combinations for the theme and design of our wedding with some unique touches thrown in too.
Full credit for this goes to Dan at Urban Sense. He had invaluable advice, amazing vision, and was very patient with my many questions and requested changes. There were a few times he stepped in and made a suggestion to not make changes and I appreciated the honesty. The credit for how gorgeous the designs turned out that day goes to Chris who put the flowers together, he is a definite artist. As stunning as it all was, we felt the price for what we got was very reasonable as well.
Urban sense by far was the one of our favorite vendors and went above and beyond in so many ways to make our day special. Would highly recommend them!!! And by the way they have a really cute little store on Vilet that has great little gifts too.
Dan absolutely killed it with our wedding florals! The bouquets were stunning and I loved the pocket boutonnieres that he suggested and we ended up going with. Very prompt on delivery and all went to plan!

Congratulations on your wedding! We are so happy you enjoyed your flowers! You were amazing to work with! :-)
Urban Sense was great to work with and know what they are doing! Dan guided me through a slide show to help determine what flowers would work best for my wedding and budget. He really listened to what I wanted. I loved all the little details, l...
ike incorporating flowers from my mother's wedding dress into my bouqet, labeling who the boutonnieres and corsages were for, and supplying paper towel so my bridesmaids and I could dab off the water from our bouquets! Those small touches made the wedding day organized and the flowers were perfect. I highly recommend Urban Sense!
Any questions?
Dan was very easy to work with and very communicative. We loved our flowers! We received a lot of complements on them. They were very different than what I would have imaged and I like that.
The only thing that I was disappointed about was no...
t having a cascading bouquet like what I had requested and shared pictures with him of.
It was surprising he didn’t send us a flower board when he sent the proposal to us (so we really had no idea what it would all look like together and I created my own based on the flower types he sent us).
We were surprised also he wanted us to return a box, which no one in the wedding party knew about, so he charged us for it when we dropped off the rentals.
Urban Sense did such an amazing job on all of our florals for our September 2022 wedding! From the start, Dan was so incredibly great to work with! He really took the time to understand both our vision & budget and then shared so many great ide...
as on how to make it come to life! We couldn't have been happier on our big day to see how everything from the ceremony orchid trees to the bouquets and table arrangements came together so beautifully! We can't recommend Urban Sense enough!
Dan did an amazing job of taking our color pallet and putting our dreams into reality. All night we were getting compliments on the amazing floral decorations which perfectly matched the color palette and used new flowers and shapes, instead of...
the same old same old flowers you normally see at weddings.
Our flowers for our day were beautiful, Dan was great to work with he had great ideas for flowers and truly tried to understand the vision I had and helped make that happen!

for my wedding next year.
Urban Sense was a treat to work with! They came recommended by a friend and they did not disappoint. We had one meeting with them and decided we want to give them our business before we even left. We know absolutely nothing about flowers and th...
ey were so tolerant of us and all our questions. They showed us pictures of different pieces they’ve done in the past and we discussed the overall vision of the day and they ran with it. Dan and Chris are so knowledgeable and you can tell they enjoy their work and take pride in the pieces that leave their business. They are very professional and provided us with beautiful flowers for our big day. I would gladly recommend Urban Sense to any bride-to-be or anyone needing flowers for any occasion!

Our flowers were beautiful. Dan took the time to listen to what we envisioned for our wedding day and really captured exactly what we wanted our flowers to be!
Everything came out beautiful. Dan listened to exactly what we wanted and nailed it. the flowers were amazing!
I loved working with Urban Sense. They were able to completely understand my vision for my wedding. I had met with two other florists and was either not shown examples of work or the other disagreed with what I was looking for and pushed me i...
nto a different direction. When I worked with Dan, he took me through examples and explained everything thoroughly. From the start, I felt heard and supported.
My flowers came out incredible! They were gorgeous and 20 days after the wedding, the flowers from the centerpieces are still beautiful! My bouquet had a lot of fragile flowers and it still held up through strong winds outside, being placed on tables, and all of the pictures. I am beyond happy with everything and will always recommend them. When Dan came to check on me in the morning as I was getting ready for the day, I felt so cared for and it felt like a friend checking in. I loved them!
So helpful and wonderful to work with! Everything turned out GORGEOUS!
Working with these gentlemen was by far the easiest and most carefree part of my wedding planning. They made it effortless from the first meeting with pictures, ideas, and follow up questions for the bride’s preferences. The flowers were impecc...
ably made and absolutely beautiful. They were just what I wanted. I highly recommend Urban Sense! They even delivered the flowers where we asked and made it so easy on the wedding day.
Dan was such a joy to work with! He was very patient with us, asking our wants and understanding our budget. He flipped through many photos to give us a sense of what he’s done before and talked to us about our favorite flowers/combinations. Hi...
s sense of creativity made it all come to life. I would recommend him to anyone! The flowers were bright and beautiful and made our wedding day even better! He has such a cute shop, even more than flowers that I can’t wait to go visit it again and see the guy who made our reception room come to life!
Working with Dan was so easy and nice. We spent maybe an hour with him looking at flowers and telling him what we liked and that's all we felt was necessary for him to put together the perfect flowers for our day. They were exactly what we want...
ed and he did such a great job communicating throughout the process so that I knew exactly what was going on and and felt confident everything would be exactly where it needs to be on the day of. Dan was so kind and when he would call to confirm drop off times, he always checked in and asked how I was doing and reassured me that the flowers were going to look amazing. Our centerpieces and other floral arrangements were still beautiful for over a week after the event as well! I felt they were very reasonably priced and truly amazing to work with!
Dan was amazing to work with! I truly felt I could express my opinion without feeling like I offended their creative suggestions. Flowers were very important to me, and with flowers you never really know what it will look like until they arriv...
e. My flowers were exactly what I wanted, I actually cried when I saw them. I would highly recommend them, and if I ever need flowers for anything I will absolutely be ordering from them.
The florists did an amazing job creating beautiful centerpieces and bouquets. The centerpieces were unique and simple and our bouquets are still alive 2 weeks later!
Amazing quality, value, and service. Dan was phenomenal, offered great advice and his professional knowledge of his craft is astounding.
So happy we went with Urban Sense, we could not has asked for more from a florist!
Dan understood (almost instantly) exactly what I wanted for bride & bridesmaid bouquets - they were beyond stunning and could not have turned out more beautiful. The staff was very easy to work with and extremely friendly. My flowers were perf...

Urban Sense was a dream to work with. They made the floral process SO easy. Thank you, Dan for your amazing artistry and putting my vision to life and for helping making our wedding so beautiful.

Ever since I was in high school and would buy flowers for various dances, my family has always frequented Urban Sense for our floral needs. So when I got engaged last December, Urban Sense was one of the first vendors we called! The entire proc...
ess went very smoothly and one of my favorite moments from the wedding-planning experience was sitting down for a slideshow of beautiful floral arrangements that Dan had prepared for my then-fiance and me to get a sense of the wedding look we were hoping for.
On our wedding day, the flowers came early and were labeled clearly, which was much appreciated on such a busy day. Our professional pictures have just come in and the flowers are simply radiant. The staff members at Urban Sense are definite artists and will work with you to make sure the flowers at your event are as unique and special as you are!
Beautiful arrangements for our wedding, great prices, and extremely knowledgeable. The two gentlemen who run the shop are great and will meet with you in person (2 meetings for us) to talk about any ideas and color schemes that you have. Our ne...
eds we're pretty basic, but I do know that they do full centerpieces and larger flower arrangements depending on your needs. Our delivery was on time and honestly we would recommend them to anyone getting married in the Milwaukee area.

al and timely at returning emails and able to work around our schedules. Highly recommend to others their services!
When I called to schedule a consultation, Dan was very short with me. We agreed on a date, he called me last minute to reschedule because of a vacation, and advised I had wait another month. He then called me and said I was 10 minutes late, at ...
12:10 and because he had a 2pm I would have to reschedule. I'm so over him, and this business. As flexible as I've been, I would never recommend them.
Working with Dan was perfect! He took a few pictures I showed him to create bouquets I could only dream of! Dan put me right at easy listening to our plan and my ideas; making amazing suggestions. Dan put me at ease with our budget, after speak...
ing with four other florist shops. I never thought I would receive so many compliments on the bouquets, everyone was asking the names of flowers and who the florist was. My groom loved the pocket boutonnière; a friend tried to copy the style when she put together the flowers but it did not compare. I cannot say enough good things about Dan and Urban Sense. I would and will recommend Urban Sense to everyone within earshot.
I do not know a lot about flowers, so I was worried about this part. One of the owners, Dan, took me through a slide show and asked what I liked and didn't like about each photo.
When I stated that I "kind of" liked something, he would stat...
e that flower was really expensive, so unless I really like it, let's go with others. He was really informative about what was in season during my wedding. I also dropped off sample fabric for the bridesmaid dresses and he picked flowers that popped and looked gorgeous!
I was so happy with the flowers. The pictures turned out gorgeous and all my friends were trying to take the flowers home. I didn't have to think or worry about this part-it was all done perfectly without question! Would definitely recommend!
Dan really took the time to create a vision for our flowers. He was so creative in his pairings of flowers, and the result was fantastic. I could not have asked for a better florist to work with!
These guys were truly amazing to work with. Everything turned out beautiful.
The flowers were amazing and it was a great, easy experience picking them out. I absolutely loved working with Dan. Within minutes, He knew my our style and helped make our day gorgeous.
I came to them in a last minute situation. I was trying to save money and have my florist aunt do the flowers with wholesale flowers online. Long story short, that fell through and I needed someone to do my bouquets. They did such a great job a...
nd their flowers were top notch. The bouquets lasted over a week and were so beautiful! I even took the quote we came up with and shopped around to see if I could get a better deal for the same bouquets and NO florist came even close to how much Urban Sense charged me. We also ordered our flowers through them to make our own (simple) centerpieces. They were WAY cheaper than ordering online and the quality was unbelievable! I was so pleased with the service and quality. Any time I need flowers I will be going to them. Even without a wedding!
Great to work with and beautiful flowers.
They were fabulous. I worked with Dan, and he took my ideas (green and white flowers) and ran with it. The bouquets were perfect, and the centerpieces – a mix of tall and short – were amazing. In addition, the altar pieces (bamboo with white or...
chids attached) were gorgeous. We wanted a classic-with-a-modern-twist, and that’s exactly what Urban Sense provided – all within budget. They were just a small amount more expensive than the florists I met with who work out of their homes, and they were more professional, and completely saw my vision. I would go with them again in a heartbeat.
Urban Sense did an amazing job creating our flower arrangements and bouquets for our wedding. The had a very modern feel and all the employees were very friendly and easy to work with! I highly recommend Urban Sense!
Dan was wonderful to work with. I didn't care too much about the flowers to be honest but Dan got me excited about them. I told him I didn't have much for a budget for flowers and he worked withing my costs and produced some amazing results. My...
bridesmaids loved their arrangements and my mom LOVED hers. For a small fee they came to the venue and set everything up as well. They were great :)
beautiful flowers!
The service of Dan was outstanding. He was always so nice and professional and was always understanding when I changed my mind. I would recommend Urban Sense to everyone I know that needs flowers. The quality is simply amazing!
I worked mostly with Dan at Urban Sense. From the minute we met, I could tell our day was going to be beautiful. He paid close attention to what I was describing during our first meeting, and was able to create everything I had dreamed of.
Absolutely amazing creative work! Flowers for the wedding party and our centerpieces were unique and outstanding. Urban Sense is so easy to work with. I will be a continued costumer of Urban Sense for years to come and would not hesitate to r...

Dan from Urban Sense met all of my expectations. We wanted a simple, chic organic feel and Urban Sense executed it perfectly. The final price was within our budget and they were very attentive, creative, and flexible. I live in Chicago but had ...
