What areas do you service?

We offer service to the entire Chicagoland area including city and suburbs.

We are also available for destination weddings upon request.

What can I expect at the initial consultation?

During your initial consultation, you will meet with Lindsay (the owner) to discuss your big day. She will guide you through design ideas, flower options, colors, and pricing.

Come prepared with your own color ideas, inspiration pictures, and other details that will help illustrate the style of the wedding. Lindsay will also have portfolios to give you additional inspiration.

You can also share your Pinterest boards with us @bellaflorawed, or email us pictures.

You will receive a detailed, written estimate about 2 days after your initial consultation. We provide each client with a one week courtesy hold on dates once an estimate has been sent.

Be sure to complete our Consultation Worksheet prior to your meeting.
