"Grace at Vale-of-Enna is one of the most talented floral designers I know. She is actually doing a large portion of the flowers for my upcoming wedding because I love her work so much. She is endlessly talented, she has great pricing and she is willing to try anything (at least once!) I love working with Grace and cannot say enough great things about her! Highly recommend!!!"

Our flowers were breathtakingly beautiful. Much more beautiful than anything I could have imagined or hoped for. Grace is so great to work with. She is a genuinely nice person, and I felt good about giving her our business. She was patient with me when I made changes and struggled to determine the last few items. There was a period of time during which she did not respond to emails and did not send a revised proposal for several days past when she said she would. That being said, Grace was dependable when it came down to it and the flowers were just as lovely as could be, and reasonably priced. I whole-heartedly recommend Vale of Enna!

Grace was amazing! I gave her a few pictures and she totally nailed the look and feel taht I was going for. When she delievered the bouquets, I was seriously in awe - I had some high expectations, but they were so much more beautiful than I even imagined. She's got great taste and was able to make some judgement calls at the last minute that fit my style perfectly! Highly recommend!

I ordered my wedding personal flowers through Grace as well as some bulk of roses at whole sale prices. The bouquets and bouts were BEAUTIFUL- I couldn't ask for anything better! Sometimes, she may take a few days to respond to you (probably because she's in high demand), but she's never ignored/forgotten anything I commented/asked. She considered all things I asked for and executed so beautifully. I highly recommend Vale of Enna as a florist choice.

Grace is incredibly talented and was great to work with. I must have changed my mind on centerpieces at least three times and she never got annoyed. When the centerpiece that I requested came in over budget on my quotation, she sent me pictures of more affordable ideas and surprisingly I liked one of those even better than what I had asked for. From what I hear, she can book up pretty quickly but I booked her a year and half out so I had no problems. I didn't have a huge budget but I was able to really stretch it without having to compromise the quality of the flowers or having to have really small centerpieces. Vale of Enna was one of my favorite vendors to work with when I was wedding planning!

It was a pleasure to work with Grace at Vale of Enna. She was very receptive and open-minded, and came up with fantastic ideas that she then executed flawlessly. Grace was also great about accommodating last-minute changes, and provided helpful suggestions for substitutions when I was worried about heat affecting some of the planned flowers in the bridesmaids' bouquets.

My bouquet turned out just as I wanted it to look, and the bridesmaids and mothers were also thrilled with their flowers. Grace's altar arrangements were spectacular. We received so many compliments on them and they were the perfect way to brighten up an otherwise bare church stage. We later transported them to the reception venue, and they looked beautiful there too. I can't say enough positive things about Grace's work!

Grace did an absolutely fantastic job for my wedding. When we first met, I didn't really have a concrete idea of what I wanted and had pages of inspiration pictures. Grace looked at the photos I had brought of the venue and we worked together to determine what would be most aesthetically pleasing. My husband and I, along with all the guests and even our DOC, were completely blown away by the final results. Bouquets, bouts, altar pieces, and table centerpieces were all incredibly full, and lush, and perfect! All of the flowers looked fresh and in perfect condition. My own bouquet which consisted of mainly white flowers was still in excellent condition when we left for our honeymoon a few days later. I cannot reccommend Grace/Vale of Enna enough. She was absolutely fantastic and definitely helped set the scene for a wonderful wedding!

My mothers gift to me was purchasing my flowers for my wedding day. Thanks mom!!! She went with Vale of Enna and the flowers were beautiful! They arrived on time and were even more impressive than the pictures. Everyone raved about my bouquet and I loved it! They did a wonderful job for me and I highly recommend them to anyone!

Vale of Enna was above and beyond my expectations for the floral design at our wedding. Grace is absolutely amazing and was able to work with our budget, vision, style, and colors...As a designer myself, I am very picky and specific when it comes to visual components of my wedding, especially when it came to the flowers. When we saw the work that she had completed for our wedding, we were completely blown away...I would highly recommend her to anybody and everybody who is in need of a fabulous, professional florist!

Grace and her employees were ridiculously awesome. So easy to communicate with and extremely sweet. Her work is so beautiful and creative. It's great quality. The flowers are so fresh, colorful, and stricking in many ways. Many guests of mine gave such positive comments about my flowers and decore. The Hyatt in Oak Brook even thought her work was terrific. Vale of Enna was strongly recommended to me by a close friend and I will strongly recommend her to any and everyone.

Vale of Enna's owner, Grace, is very creative. I absolutely loved my bouquet! Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! The quality of the work she did for us was impressive. We received lots of positive comments about the flowers from our guests as well. if there is any opportunity in the future for me to employ Vale of Enna again, I will without any hesitation. Everything was so beautiful!

Grace came highly recommended by my wedding coordinator Charlene Liang of Sweetchic Events. After seeing Grace's work online and meeting her in person, I didn't need to meet with anyone else. She was very personable and easy to work with. Grace happened to have two weddings already scheduled for our day, but she luckily agreed to do our personal flowers (bouquet, boutonnieres, corsages). I provided Grace a photo of a bouquet that I saw and fell in love with, and Grace re-created the bouquet beautifully while adding her own personal touch to it. Additionally, I had planned to do my own centerpieces and was wondering how I would find the flowers I needed, and Grace was generous enough to allow me to place an order of flowers through her, which saved us a lot of time and money - two things that are always in short supply when dealing with weddings. I had a very positive experience with Grace and I would have no reservations recommending her!

Grace did an amazing job! I am still receiving compliments about how beautiful the flowers were at the wedding. The pastor even made a comment about how the church was decorated with gorgeous floral arrangements! Grace truly was a pleasure to work with, and was always open to suggestions, complaints, likes and dislikes. Her contract spells out exactly what you are looking to achieve, and then she fulfills as promised! I was able to show her pictures of my vision, and she had no problem re-creating what I was hoping to achieve. She is at times slow to respond to emails, but always returns phone calls in a prompt and timely fashion. She accommodated several last minute requests. She is very professional and I would highly recommend her to brides looking for specific floral requests at an extremely reasonable price.

Grace, owner of Vale of Enna, was very accommodating. She bought flowers at a wholesale price for us to make half of our centerpieces ourselves, and even through in a few extra in case we broke some. On the day of our wedding, we saw her at the venue, and she stayed to help me tie a bride and groom cake topper to my bouquet. The centerpieces she made us were extremely unique and beautiful. She used Gerbera Daisies to make my bouquet, which are very difficult to work with, but it looked like she created it with ease. I would highly recommend Grace and the Vale of Enna for your wedding florists. She helped make my wedding vision come true.
