About

WE ARE NOT BOOKING WEDDINGS IN 2023 or 2024.

Bloom Magic Weddings is a full-service floral studio located in Highland Park, Illinois. We do events in Northern Illinois, Southern Wisconsin, and the City of Chicago. Voted a Wedding Wire Couples Choice business in 2019 and 2020.

Owner Kirsten Rabishaw is a fourth-generation floral designer whose love of flowers began as a child. Bloom Magic Weddings is for couples who want to explore wedding styles and come up with a unique concept that makes their day special. Kirsten meets with couples during a complimentary consultation to get to know each couple and learn the needs, wants, must haves, and dreams. Kirsten helps knit together color and style and always suggests seasonally available flowers.

A huge part of the Bloom Magic weddings philosophy is sustainability. We believe deeply in green weddings. We do not use toxic floral foam. We compost all our clippings as we create your masterpieces, and we recycle vigilantly. In planning your florals, we will make suggestions about repurposing florals during your event, and gifting the decor to guests or donating it so others can enjoy it later.

Bloom Magic Weddings can take the smalles bit of inspiration or a fully loaded Pinterest board from you. We work passionately based on your very own love story and style, and execute flawlessly with no stress for you. The BMW team works closely to prepare flowers, build your custom designs, and put every piece in place on the big day.

Services Offered
Bloom Magic Weddings works with you to develop a one-of-a-kind approach to the wedding flowers and decor. Floral styles from country, classic, and glamorous, to modern, romantic, and vintage are available. Kirsten can visit the wedding venue ahead of time to ensure the pieces coordinate in the space. Then on your wedding day, she will deliver, set up, and clean up all items. Bloom Magic Weddings provides all types of floral options including aisle and altar decor, bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, corsages, flower baskets, flower crowns, flower petals, and single flowers.

Highly Recommend!!!

Kirsten was the perfect florist for our wedding! I had no idea what I wanted initially and she helped us set-up the space beautifully. I was honestly amazed at how gorgeous everything turned out... especially my bouquet and the flower petal aisle. She was patient, kind, creative, and decisive. Kirsten is an awesome person all-around. Plus, she knew we were trying to keep things affordable and even threw in flowers for the back of our chairs for free. I highly recommend her to everyone! I feel lucky to have found her.

Amazing Wedding Florist!

We used Kirsten for our May 2021 wedding, and look forward to using her services again for our May 2022 reception. Our relationship with Kirsten began in August 2019. What drew us to using Kirsten/BMW initially was her proximity to and familiarity with our original wedding venue in Evanston, IL, as well as the fact that she sustainably sources her flowers and works with what’s in season.

At our first meeting, she took the time to understand the desired aesthetic of the wedding and the meeting didn’t feel rushed. There was constant communication leading into the original May 2020 wedding date, then the re-scheduling and re-design for our May 2021 wedding date. She was supportive and positive throughout every COVID curveball we encountered. She also referred our wedding photographer, and together, those two were a great team.

I'm also left with a beautiful sketch of my wedding bouquet, that has been framed and hung!

Amazing service

From helping me envision what I wanted - to creating a pinterest so we could well remotely - so understanding my budget...Kirsten was a delight to work with. The flowers were perfect with just the right simplicity with a great pop of color for the room.

Beachy Wedding

Made magic bloomed!

Wedding planning was probably the most challenging thing that I’ve ever done before. I didn’t realize hiring the right florist could be such a difficult thing to do until I started hunting for one! After tons of researching, brainstorming and talking to many different styles of companies and florists, Bloom Magic Weddings stood out. We decided to proceed forward with them right after our initial zoom meeting with Kirsten. I still remember my now husband but fiancé at the time, who stayed quiet the whole meeting, said afterwards that he could feel her passion of doing what she’s doing. Everyone else that I reached out and came back to me with the same question: “do you see a Pinterest page you like, we can try to make the same”, while the first thing Kirsten said was: “It’s YOUR wedding, YOUR flowers”.
To be honest, I was so lost in the sea of ideas and fancy images online until I heard someone pointed out that I should have my own decisions on flowers instead of copying someone else’s wedding knowing it might not turn out the same. We cannot be more grateful to have someone like Kirsten handling the big project for us. I’m glad she was giving her 100% even to the moment we decided to change to a completely different color scheme. I didn’t have to pull my hair out thinking about all the different flowers we were going to have. All I did was to give her our thoughts about colors then she came back making magic bloomed! One day I got an email from Kirsten saying she was growing double tulips in her greenhouse for our wedding, I mean, how can you get more personalized than that?! We both laughed at ourselves about knowing so little about flowers; the first thing we thought after knowing tulips are going to be used for our big day was the regular tulips we see in grocery stores or just blooming in someone’s front yard. But Kirsten showed us the double tulips can be such a treasure to have! We got a lot of compliments from our guests on our wedding day about the red princess double tulips and the exotic proteas we had. A month before our wedding, Kirsten sent me a video of her explaining the hand-drawn sketch she did for my bridal bouquet. She executed every single details professionally and artistically. Knowing that others would just throw you the price and flower plans and we won’t have a visual until the day of our wedding. On top of that, I get to keep the original sketch after our big day!
Having Kirsten truly care for us and our wedding was just beyond everything. Wedding planning during pandemic just sets everything to an extremely hard level. For quite a while we thought we would need to postpone, and it was very stressful making decisions in the cloud of uncertainties. Kirsten was flexible about changing the date and even process refunds after knowing we had to downsizing our wedding to under 50 people. We’re grateful that she’s with us the whole journey, she reminded us what truly matters when it comes to planning for our own wedding. Bloom Magic Weddings made our wedding bloomed indeed. Thank you!

Best option in the Chicagoland area, hands down!

Kirsten is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is kind, attentive, talented and seems to genuinely care about her business and its clients. She adapts very well to change, which is something that is crucial during these crazy times. Her pricing is certainly reasonable and I honestly do not think you could find a better person to work with for your special day. I will definitely use her for events in the future and continue to recommend Kirsten. Please reach out if you want any more details from my experience!!!

Beautiful and sustainable flower design!

Beyond happy with my wedding flowers! Kirstin is creative with her suggestions and arrangements and brought my outdoor winter wedding to life! She created a color palette, educated me on floral selection and was detailed in her proposal. She is very organized ahead of time and day of, and made sure everything was perfect! Highly recommend!

Elegant and Beautiful

Planning a wedding in a month during COVID was stressful, but she made the flowers a non issue! I had a tight budget,
but she worked to give me exactly what I had in mind. My flower arrangements were absolutely gorgeous and tasteful and my guests kept noting their beauty. I would highly recommend!

A gem of a company

My daughter who lives in Denver called me on July 19th. She casually inquired about how I would feel about a backyard wedding for the immediate family over Labor Day weekend. “Sure”, I said wondering how this was going to happened. I had no clue. I searched online and found Bloom Magic Weddings. Kirsten met with me the following week. She took care of all the floral and helped coordinate everything else. She was prompt and professional; creative and caring. I worried about nothing and that included the cost. She created a background of beauty. We all felt well cared for. I cannot say enough about my experience.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
