I am still getting complimented on the flowers from our wedding day over a year later! We used Flowers for Dreams in summer of 2025, and I cannot be more grateful for their work. I had such a clear vision, and they were able to make it come to life even better than I expected! Perfect tones, and shapes of the bouquets. They were so accommodating to tweaks I wanted to make, and truly added to much of the beauty of the day!

Senior Wedding & Event Consultant - Chicago
Hello lovelies! I fell into the floral industry & have never looked back! I originally come from a tech sales background but always felt myself inching closer to something more creative & based on empathetic connections. I love working with couples to make their vision come to life in not only a beautiful way but a cost effective way - weddings are expensive! At the end of the day, I work for the couple & they are always my main priority!:) In my spare time, you can catch me exploring the local food scene here in Chicago, traveling, & cozying up with a glass of red wine and my two dachshunds (Zeppelin & Pico). I can't wait to work with you! Cheers,Casey
Amanda Klein
Senior Wedding & Event Designer - Milwaukee
Hi! I am Amanda Klein, one of the Senior Wedding & Event designers at Flowers For Dreams Milwaukee. My passion for floral stems from my love of nature and finding beauty in my surroundings, including what I grow in my own backyard. As a floral artist, I create unique floral stories for my clients, infusing designs with color, texture, creativity, and most importantly, heart. My designs are authentic representations of each client’s voice, vision, and aesthetic and carefully curated to capture a particular moment in time. With my background rooted in art and visual design, I approach florals through an artistic lens, creating experiences fueled by beauty, imagination, and soul. From working in my own garden, to roadside foraging with my Bernese Mountain dog, to reading one of Floret’s books for the millionth time, my love for all things floral truly knows no bounds.I can't wait to work with you!Amanda
Drew Hawley
Lead Wedding & Event Designer - Milwaukee
I have been in the wedding industry for 12+ years with most of my experience being floral related. I love creating memorable moments! My favorite moment is when the bride sees her bouquet for the first time. To be honest, I live vicariously through each couple I work with and each wedding has a special moment that stands out. As a designer I am driven by color and floral is an ever changing medium that I can showcase each couple's individual style as well as personality. I also enjoy a good challenge; whether that is budget, creating a new concept or working-in special objects into the bridal bouquet. Let's get creative!

Senior Wedding Consultant & Designer - Detroit
Hey! I'm Jess, your Senior Wedding Consultant & Designer at Flowers For Dreams. I've been in the floral industry since I was 16! Where has the time gone?! I also have a background in Catering Sales so I know my way around social & corporate events! The best part about working in the floral industry? Aside from collaborating with fantastic clients and fellow industry vendors, it's witnessing my client's reactions to their floral and decor. It's the best part of our journey together!Outside of work or installing at a venue, you'll find me on Home Goods or Target runs, on a nature trail with my hubby and furbaby Henry, or relaxing with friends & family with a nice glass of white wine ;) I'd be honored to bring my expertise to your wedding or event! Feel free to send me an email and let's start chatting!
Kaylee Lynch
Senior Wedding Consultant & Designer - Chicago
Hi all! Floral has been my career for the last 9 years in and out of school. I fell into it while working at a flower shop in high school, sweeping the floors and taking phone orders, cleaning roses, etc. Moving to the city for art school, I decided to continue in the industry and fell head over heels for the event side of it all. Designing weddings and working with clients has fulfilled me in so many ways, and I feel so lucky everyday waking up and calling it my job! (yes, I still cry at every wedding I attend...I'm a hopeless romantic, what can I say!) I love to connect with my clients and understand their vision by working within their desired budget, inspiration photos, and overall vibe. In my spare time you can find me rehearsing with my band "Safekeeping", out and about at a local show, or hosting a movie night in! Looking forward to connecting and making your dream flowers come to life! Cheers!

Hi, I'm Rachael! If you don't see me, you can hear me! Laughter is contagious and I use it to get through the high-paced, stressful times. I thrive when there are consistent moving parts and enjoy the feeling at the very end when it all comes together. I am a lover of cappuccinos and my cavalier puppy, Rosie! You may see her at the studio some days. Currently planning my own wedding, so let's chat about all things regarding your planning!

Hi, I'm Mike. I’ve spent over 10 years growing with Flowers for Dreams, where I helped build our wedding and event division; turning big ideas into even bigger, flower-filled moments. When I’m not surrounded by blooms, you can find me crate-digging for vinyl records, eating Chicago hot dogs, or throwing a frisbee for my acrobatic dog, Greta.
Mae Rodovich
Senior Wedding Consultant - Chicago
Hi, I'm Mae! I have over a decade of event experience and have been designing weddings for the last six years. My fine art and hospitality backgrounds ensure your designs will be beautiful, approachable & speak to your unique vision. When I'm not playing with flowers you can find me eating pizza, listening to David Bowie and daydreaming about mid-century modern furniture. I can't wait to connect!
Rachel Ramirez
Senior Wedding Consultant & Designer - Chicago
Hello gorgeous people! As you get to know me you will soon learn that I have a strong passion for people, organization, and creativity. I have been SO lucky to have had a multitude of opportunities, allowing me to fully express those passions. From floral design to structural displays, I am all in on the collaborative possibilities. Starting my floral career ALL THE WAY back in high school, and consistently pursuing any form of creativity has been such a blessing! I have loved expanding my abilities over the years and consistently learning that there truly is no end to what is possible! On a Tuesday night you can find me watching the Office for the 100th time or exploring a new creative hobby. Currently I am enjoying a sculptural design class, mixed martial arts training program, and a creative writing course! I am so excited to meet you and to see what amazing things we can come up with!

ly how I imagined. One thing I appreciated most was his honesty and genuine guidance. He took our venue space and personal preferences into consideration and was upfront about what he thought we did or didn’t need, rather than simply trying to upsell us. That level of thoughtfulness and care made such a difference throughout the planning process. Drew took all the ideas I had in my head and brought them to life in the most beautiful way — and then some! The tables looked absolutely gorgeous, and the bouquets and boutonnieres were simple, elegant, and timeless, exactly what we envisioned. Every detail came together perfectly, and the florals truly helped transform our venue into everything we had dreamed of. All deliveries were on time and went off without a hitch, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. We are so grateful to Drew for bringing our vision to life and helping make our wedding day so beautiful. I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone who is talented, trustworthy, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making your vision a reality! With love, The Boesches!

ght our vision to life. Everything felt colorful, romantic, cohesive, and even more beautiful than we imagined. One of my biggest requests was that the bridesmaids' bouquets coordinate with their dresses in a monochromatic way, and they absolutely nailed it. Each bouquet perfectly matched the color of the bridesmaids' dress while still feeling unique and dimensional. The attention to detail was incredible, and the bouquets looked stunning in photos. Every floral detail throughout the wedding felt intentional and beautifully designed. The colors, flowers, and arrangements all came together so perfectly and really helped create the overall look and feel we wanted for our wedding. We are so grateful to Jessica for taking our vision and turning it into something even better than we could have pictured. Our flowers were one of my favorite parts of the entire wedding, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Flowers for Dreams to anyone looking for a florist who truly listens to their vision and executes it beautifully!

I didn’t have a certain preference on the exact flowers I wanted for the wedding. Flowers for Dreams had a self service option where you you choose a color palette and then select ...

how many bouquets, boutonniere, etc. that you wish to have. There is a deliver or pick up option as well. The flowers turned out stunning and it was such a stress free experience to just select the color palette I wanted and they do the rest! 100% recommend if you want beautiful flowers and a stress free solution!

. We were able to focus on what I wanted most, bouquet for me, small bouquets for bridemaids and moms, and then boutouineers for groomesmen/dads/brothers. We also got 2 alter arrangements and then kept the tablescapes as greenery, and cocktail rounds with bud vases. It was perfect and simple! Thank you Flowers for Dreams for providing such an easy option!

It was the best surprise ever. Kaylee is such a pro and was so fun and easy to work with. She also gave great advice on how to stay within our budget.

Flowers for Dreams did the floral and decor for my February 2026 wedding at The Arbory. They are a company that gives back, which is really important to us. The process to get a pr...

I worked with Casey, who understood and executed my vision beautifully. Casey helped me from the proposal all the way until resolving questions after the wedding. We thought our tables were beautiful and were very happy with the bridal party bouquets. I would absolutely use Flowers for Dreams for any future events.

ming to all of our suggestions and even specific flower requests. The entire proposal review process was very simple and efficient with each draft. When it came time for our in-person preview, my mom and I actually teared up seeing our vision become a reality. It was a great experience being in their space and even being able to select the types of vessels for some of our arrangements. All deliveries on the day off were made on time and each employee was so kind. My bouquet is one of my favorite elements of that day, it captured the spring garden influence I wanted so perfectly, as did all of my bridesmaids' bouquets. The team even handled the specific floral decor I requested for my cake, and it looked just like the inspo photo I provided! I cared deeply about the flowers for our wedding day and Rachael and her team made my vision a reality.

Flowers for Dreams does top notch work without costing you an arm and a leg like so many of the other floral/decor vendors in the industry. Casey worked with us to make sure everything was done exactly how we wanted at a price we were comfortable with. Her creativity and kindness made this one of the most enjoyable parts of wedding planning and I would recommend Flowers for Dreams 10/10!

Leighann C

This review is long overdue! My husband and I got married this past June, and we had the absolute honor of working with Casey and her incredible team at Flowers for Dreams. I came ...

in with a very specific vision for every floral and décor detail, and Casey took that vision and ran with it. If they didn’t already have something I was looking for, they went out of their way to source it. They respected our budget and were so patient and collaborative, always making me feel involved in the design process. I truly have one word for the work they did: GORGINA. My jaw completely dropped on our wedding day. Casey and her team went to the moon and back to achieve the exact look and feel we dreamed of. Every detail was thoughtfully executed, and the love, care, and artistry behind it all were absolutely breathtaking. Worth every penny. I genuinely enjoyed every call and meeting throughout the process. I cannot recommend Flowers for Dreams weddings enough. Seamless process, amazing people, and an overall magical experience!

They were honestly one of the more affordable options we found and we love supporting a company that gives back to the community, so it was an easy choice! Couldn’t recommend them more.
