You know that first warm day of the season… when the sun hits your face just right and suddenly you’re dreaming of soft pastels, fresh blooms, and you feel like you can tackle your whole to-do list?!

That’s exactly the feeling we channeled into this dreamy getaway car install — a floral moment on the back of a vintage pink figgy that says “just married” in the sweetest way.

While this particular beauty made her debut in Charleston, this is the kind of statement piece we love bringing to life for Chicago-area couples. Whether you’re celebrating on the lakefront or in the countryside, whimsical touches like this add personality and a wow-worthy sendoff to your day.

Planning a summer wedding in Chicago or Lake Geneva? Let’s make it unforgettable — trunk blooms and all. 🤍

The goodbye I wasn’t ready to make…
{Kankakee County Locals — this one’s for you}

Deep breath… this is a hard one to write.

We found out last week that The Flower Cart won’t be returning to the Kankakee Farmer’s Market this year. The Market is shifting its focus, and because we don’t grow 100% of our own flowers, our application was denied.

If I’m being honest — this one stings. Saturday mornings weren’t just about selling flowers… they were about YOU. The hugs, the hellos, the stories shared across the cart. The way you lit up when you saw the bloom that reminded you of someone you love. That’s what made it magic.

Joe and I started this six years ago with a simple dream — and you turned it into something we never could’ve imagined.

→ Like the woman visiting the nursing home, choosing *that perfect* shade of blue delphinium for her mom whose health was declining.
→ The dad who picked a bouquet for his wife AND one for his daughter every time they stopped by.
→ The little one running up to the cart, proudly picking “the pink one, please!” for her mom.
→ The couple who stood side by side, selecting each stem to build a bouquet for their home.
→ The girlies who showed up for themselves — because “I can buy myself flowers”.
→ And the regulars who swore they didn’t need more eucalyptus… and left with a bundle anyway. (You always need more eucalyptus. 😉)

This post is about a change in our business… but it’s always been about YOU. We’ve never taken your support for granted, and we’re deeply grateful. 🤍

>> To be clear: we’ve never wanted to compete with our flower farmer friends — we’re BIG fans of what they do. Our heart has always been to complement, not compete. Community over competition, always.

So yes, we’re grieving. But also dreaming again. Because serving this community is still the heartbeat of what we do.

>>> FOR NOW: Follow along over at to stay in the loop & drop us a comment letting us know where you’d like to see us! 💛

With so much love,
— The Flower Cart Team

TODAY is your last chance to grab one of these spring bouquets at Connect Roasters—and they’re only available until NOON!

If you’ve been needing a little boost lately… this might be exactly what your heart (and home) needs.

Here’s the sweet science: studies show that flowers can actually spark the release of dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin—aka the brain chemicals behind joy, calm, and connection. So yes, flowers = instant mood boost.

And these ones? They’re full of sunshiney spring blooms, hand-tied with love, and ready for you at Connect Roasters in Bourbonnais—just $25.

Whether you’re grabbing your morning coffee or want to surprise someone you love, these blooms are the perfect little pick-me-up.

Swing by before noon today and treat yourself to some feel-good flowers before they’re gone!

Tag a friend to meet you there or share this post to spread the joy!

When this time of year hits and you *do* kinda wish you were back in NYC flowering away at The Brookyln Boathouse ✨

Calling all locals!

TOMORROW will be your last chance to shop at The Farmers Market before she goes into hibernation for the season.

We’ve got a beautiful fall color palette picked out for you AND as a thank you for such a wonderful season, we’ll be offering BOGO 50% off on all bouquets!

Can’t wait to see you 8-12 under our black and white striped tent! 🍁🌼🍂

Hey local friends!

I have fresh tulips in the studio this week & want to do the most good with them...

SO I wrapped them in bundles of 10 and set them out on my front porch for the taking!

Bundles like this would retail in the $20-30 range, but I'm suggesting a donation price of $10-$30 (whatever feels happy for you) and 100% of the proceeds will go to benefit our friends running the Chicago Marathon for Team World Vision!

Feel free to drop cash or a check off in the mailbox, or I've got my Venmo handle next to the bouquets!

Enjoy some fresh spring tulips on your table this weekend while also helping us raise money for clean water!

Meet Me

Hi there! My name is Michaela and I am a florist who has taken root in Kankakee County, just a few minutes south of Chicago. I'm a lover of lattes, HGTV’s Fixer Upper, all things gold, and, of course, fresh greens & flowers! On Saturdays, you’ll find me at the local farmers market with my husband, Joe, and my maltipoo Emmie! We’d love to meet you so feel free to drop by at any time. I am so overjoyed about the opportunity to help make your dreams become reality and your floral vision come to life with the help of my design skills or our little flower cart!
