Ashland Addison Florist

Michelle flawlessly executed my vision TWICE (because we were a COVID-impacted couple). Throughout the traumatic ordeal of postponing and re-planning, she was flexible, patient and kind. Truly an ideal vendor. We ended up reducing our floral budget by 60% and she still treated us like her top priority clients! She designed a fresh floral backdrop wall and it was STUNNING. Our guests took photos in front of it all night! Despite our modified budget, Michelle was enthusiastic and supportive all the way through.

Meg and the team at Ashland and Addison went above and beyond in their service for our wedding! Meg was highly engaged throughout the entire planning process and demonstrated exceptional knowledge in translating our design choices into a floral dream come true! She was so easy to reach out to and very responsive! We were not the easiest to work with as our design choices kept changing. Meg never made us feel bad about all the tiny detail edits we asked for; we must have asked for at least 20 revisions as our vision of the day kept changing.

During the initial stages of planning, she was the ultimate team player—skillfully combining our design ideas, her expertise, and the input of our caterer. She was an absolute encyclopedia on flowers! She synthesized every favorite flower we had into a highly polished final product that was within budget! When we finally saw the floral displays, they were more beautiful than anything we could have imagined. The floral arch at the forefront of our ceremony looked like something out of a fairy tale.

Meg was exceptional and one of the few members of our wedding team who consistently EXCEEDED expectations. Thank you Meg for being the amazing artist you are!!!

They were a delight to work with. They delivered everything promptly and accurately. They answered all my questions and helped my vision come to life. The flowers look so lovely in the photos. Lauren was wonderful to work with and answered all my questions.

The floral at our wedding was beyond expectations. Meg from this company was so sweet and delivered on every promise. I couldn’t stop bragging about how beautiful the flowers were at our wedding. I will attach some photos here so you can see but she hit it on the nail with my vision and everything was perfect and on time.

Ashland Addison didn't stop until every detail was perfect. They were so great to work with and the flowers were above and beyond what I could have hoped for.

Working with Michelle at Ashland Addison for our wedding flowers was an amazing experience. Michelle was easy to talk to and professional throughout the entire process. She walked us through the flower options that would be in season for our wedding. And she did that three separate times, since we ended up changing our date three times due to the pandemic. The entire time, Michelle took into consideration all our thoughts and preferences related to the flowers and how we envisioned them displayed on our special day. She made our visions come to life and all the flowers looked absolutely incredible on our wedding day! Our experience working with Michelle was perfect and we highly recommend her and Ashland Addison to all couples looking for a reliable and reasonably priced wedding florist!

When I first met with Daniel from Ashland Addison Florist, he conveyed his vision to me on creating a very colorful ensemble of flowers and décor for my wedding. Rather than have black and white and or muted tones, I requested vibrant colors of reds, oranges, and yellows to make the day feel happy. Using my favorite flower—gerbera daisies—as the base, Daniel created floral designs for three rooms within the event space including a floral structure or chuppah to stand under for the ceremony, different focal points around the DJ, bars, and mirrors, as well as a long runner of flowers that spanned the entire length of our food stations. In addition, Daniel added a turquoise blue runner for the isle, found blue lounge furniture and gold-colored bookshelves to accent the space with candles, and strategically placed lights in various positions to add more warm color tones. However, what I will remember most is the beautiful bouquet of flowers he designed for me—a combination of orange, peach, red, pink, and yellow flowers that made me feel beautiful and magical on my wedding day.

During our walk through of the venue seven days before the wedding, my husband and I decided we wanted to add a bit more to the space. I immediately called Daniel, threw him this last-minute curveball, and asked if this was possible. Rather than shy away from challenge, Daniel tackled it head on and exceeded our expectations in every way.

Family and friends who attended the wedding came up to us and said, “I love flowers and yours were some of the most beautiful I have ever seen.” In addition, the lead representative from the venue and caterer said, “I have never seen this space look so beautiful!” I could not agree more and that is a sole testament to the work of Daniel and crew from Ashland Addison Florist.

I love Michelle.

As a Chicago's Top 10 Wedding Planner, I get exposure to all types of florists and designers. I really love Michelle's personality, her patience, her empathy. I think I switched the designs and concepts on her about 20 times. I pulled one of those, even though I'm a wedding planner. She was AMAZING. She was patient and she made it all happen.

Michelle is also someone that you would just purely want to be friends with :). Ashland Addison always delivers and their florals are fresh. They do well and we recommend them to all of our couples- of course I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a florist that is professional, flexible, and friendly.

Ashland Addison did a wonderful job on our wedding flowers. I wanted a colorful, springy feel, and the flowers were perfect! I can't tell you how many compliments I got. Everyone was expecting the traditional white, conservative bouquets, and the explosion of color really helped brighten up our reception room and added some beautiful framing to the ceremony.

Michelle was very easy to work with, and the team did a great job on the setup. Our bouquets arrived about a half hour early at our hotel, so we didn't have to worry about them for photos. Everyone at Ashland Addison helped make our wedding day as perfect as it could be.

MICHELLE B. is insanely talented and was so much fun to work with! She took an amorphous concept in my head (i.e., an ombre pastel watercolor look) and not only understood it, but expanded upon it and brought it to life.

She was patient and able to work with me on options that could make it more affordable. Moreover, when my planner realized the day of that, the candlestick holders I ordered and mistakenly thought had been delivered were missing, Michelle took care of the problem charge-free (Thank you!).

The culmination of what she composed was utterly phenomenal and gorgeous (so much so, that I have convinced myself that they started the #JoyfulExpression trend 😂)! The floral pieces at my wedding are still one of my favorite aspects of it. Overall, working with Michelle was a wonderful experience, and I couldn’t recommend her enough.
