The Dog Days of summer are well and truly here. Personally, I (Kate), live for the hot sunny days and so do most of the gorgeous seasonal summer flowers. Echinacea, Black Eyed Susan (Rudebekia), Lisianthus (Eustoma), Sunflowers, Marigolds, Cosmos, Queens Anne’s Lace, Sedum - the list goes on and many are showing their glorious petalled faces in gardens and street plantings around Chicago. Get in the summer groove and share your favorite summer flower with us.

Who we are: Two girls (an Aussie and an American) taking advantage of an unexpected opportunity to bring beauty and artistry, transform moods, translate and create design visions and set the scene, the space, the vibe, through flowers. We love the earth and are determined to protect it to the best of our ability. We support sustainability, buying locally where possible, reusing and recycling when we can and limiting our waste as much as possible. We design foam free as much as we can and repurpose arrangements post events passing them on to people who need a little something to brighten their day.
Our style: is loose, organic, garden style - natural with a touch of wild. We love nature. We love color. We love art. We love creating beautiful pieces and in addition to fresh flowers, we love to incorporate foliage, dried flowers/ seeds and other botanical forms available.
What we can do: While we definitely have an in house Flora style, we are talented florists who can translate your vision into reality. If you don’t have a style or a vision, we can help you work this out. If we haven’t done it before, don’t let that scare you off. We are innovative and creative problem solvers with a great team, great resources, an incredible eye and a can do attitude. We thrive on a challenge, it’s how we got here and our work speaks for itself.
How we work: Relationships are important to us. Expect honesty, frankness, reliability, collaboration, attention to detail, artistry, and to be blown away by the end product. We love what we do and our enjoyment and love of every step is evident in our work.
