About

1209 Creative is a contemporary wedding and event florist specializing in thoughtful, design driven floral experiences. Based in Wisconsin and serving Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago, and Arizona, we work closely with each couple to create florals that feel intentional, cohesive, and personal to their day.

We see flowers as a way to shape how a space feels, not just how it looks. From subtle, refined details to statement installations, every design is created with care for the overall atmosphere and the people at the center of it. Our style leans modern and organic, with an editorial approach that feels elevated but never overdone.

We offer a range of services including full service wedding florals, partial service, and a la carte options, allowing couples to choose the level of support that fits their needs. Whether you are planning an intimate celebration or a larger scale event, our process is collaborative, thoughtful, and tailored to your vision, venue, and season.

At 1209 Creative, we value clear communication, attention to detail, and a seamless experience from start to finish. Our goal is for couples to feel confident, supported, and excited throughout the planning process, knowing their florals are in experienced hands.

A few places where 1209 has been featured: Love Stories TV, Junebug Weddings, The Venue Report, Loverly, Brides Magazine, Wisconsin Bride Magazine, Modern Luxury Magazine, Arizona Foothills Magazine, MOD Weddings, Grey Likes Weddings, and Wedding Dress Daily.

Best Wedding Vendor

I truly cannot say enough good things about Sara. From the very start she was amazing to work with - helping me hone my vision, having patience with my indecisiveness, creatively navigating our budget, and accommodating my particular flower preferences. I walked away from each of our meetings feeling more confident in my plans and like I had just caught up with an old friend. And her work speaks for itself. I was blown away by how gorgeous the florals turned out - it was truly better than I could have ever imagined. I wanted romantic, timeless, yet whimsical florals and she achieved it perfectly. I would absolutely recommend 1209 to anyone I know getting married in Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago, or Phoenix!

Run! Don't walk, and hire jihan!

I am a July 2022 bride and in the midst of the busiest season in history, good and reliable vendors are a necessity. I am writing this review before my wedding because I am just that dang impressed! I am a very type A bride, almost to a fault, and I cannot express my gratitude enough for all the attention to detail and time she gives her brides. Florals was not something I was overly excited about when I first started planning a wedding as I lack greatly in the creative side, but she has made it my absolute favorite part! She sends you a mood board, detailed notes about her plans and how she will execute the day to really be able to picture everything, and an itemized list of what exactly you are paying for, and she prefers to be the person to set up everything, not just drop it off, to really showcase her work how she meant it to be. She also worked with me so well on staying within my budget and repurposing florals where we could. I cannot wait to write an even better review once I am able to see my vision come to life thanks to Jihan!!

Amazing - would highly recommend

We had Sara as our florist for our wedding in Milwaukee and loved her! I came to her with some pretty vague ideas of color and style, and she took it from there to a whole new level! She was incredibly responsive, kind, respectful of our budget, and just went above and beyond. Would highly recommend!

March 2019 Wedding

Jihan was amazing to work with. I initially reached out to her/1209 because I really enjoyed the unique style they offered - the choice of texture, color and flower combinations Is very different than “traditional” wedding flowers. I gave very little guidance other than a general “vibe” and color palate, as well as where I envisioned flowers/decor, and Jihan delivered a stunning result for my March 2019 wedding (complete with hanging greenery, blooms and geo lanterns). She was very responsive and professional throughout the entire process and was willing to rework some ideas to fit within the budget - including reusing as many pieces as possible from the ceremony for the reception. Can not recommend enough.

Outside the box and amazing!!

With a very quick timeline and limited budget, Jihan worked so hard to bring my vision to life. I wanted something that felt and looked totally different than what I had seen before, but wasn't totally clear on what that could look like. She listened to my descriptions and used her expertise and knowledge to bring it together in a way I could never have dreamed... like pink lights in hidden in the flowers to pop at night- amazing, and so me!! The end result totally mirrored my style and and she suggested all the right ideas to create a visual that my guests nor I will ever forget. Thank you!

Stunning and Beautiful!

Jihan and the team were so patient with me while we worked together to bring my vision to life. They went above and beyond for us and we could not have been happier with the results! The flowers were better than I could have ever imagined! Everything from my bouquet, to our archway, to the head table was absolutely perfect and a complete dream. Our guests were blown away. We would recommend 1209 Creative in a heartbeat!

Jihan and her team were AWESOME!! They did the florals for my wedding and it was literally breathtaking! Everything turned out even better than I could have dreamt. She worked with me to make sure she understood exactly what I wanted, even created a mood board for me to make sure we have the same vision. It was stunning, gorgeous, and we couldn't have been happier! 100 times over would recommend!

This team may be new on the scene, but they are coming out of the gates strong! I've only worked with 1209 Creative on a couple of weddings this year, but I'm completely hooked on them. Sherry and Jihan have an impeccable attention to detail, professionalism beyond their years, and a keen eye for dramatic color and fresh design. I highly recommend them for floral and decor design for events in the Phoenix area, as well as Northern and Southern Arizona. Can't wait for the next beautiful wedding we do together! XO
