Audra was our florist for our wedding in May 2021 and I couldn’t be happier!!! She was absolutely amazing to work with, and is so kind, funny, and down to earth! Her work is stunning and completely breathtaking. I originally fell in love with her work while I was looking through the farm’s Instagram. The way she uses colors and textures is so interesting and different and truly makes the flowers unique. I was able to describe my vision to her and she made it come to life. I knew sort of what colors I wanted, and she was able to really build on what I said and make suggestions for different kinds of flowers and accents. She really helped us edit our ideas too, and made suggestions about what would and wouldn’t work with our venue. Audra was always willing to hop on a phone call if we had questions and she had excellent communication throughout the entire process. My favorite part about Finding Eminence is the fact that they are a farm and that many of the flowers are actually grown on the farm! Before covid times we were even able to visit the farm and see flowers being grown and how the whole process works. I can’t recommend Audra enough. If you’re looking for a wedding florist seriously don’t look any further! Audra is INCREDIBLE!!

Audra made the most beautiful bouquets for me and my bridesmaid for my September wedding. Before the wedding I was very scatterbrained and told Audra I knew what I wanted but not really (I know super helpful). I knew that I wanted dahlias and Audra really helped me create a vision and walked me through all the flowers and colors that would tie everything together. She was very responsive throughout the planning process. On my wedding day, I was truly delighted to see the flowers because they were better than my imagination.

I also love the fact that the flowers came from her farm. If you follow the instagram page, you can even see the flowers being grown and all the hard work Audra puts in which made the flowers even more special.

I used Finding Eminence for my wedding and they were amazing. First, i love gardening and flowers so having fresh flowers was non negotiable, but i also didn't want to spend a crazy amount of money on them. Also, our venue was outdoors and didn't need tons of decorating. Audra was very transparent and sensitive to this during the entire process. She was the first of 5 florists i spoke with and she followed up patiently every few weeks until I finally made a decision. She explained a lot of details up front and was clear about what could be changed and what was set once we signed a contract. She was one of the easiest vendors to communicate with (in spite of the fact that she was the only one outside of the Chicago metro area where we live/had our wedding) and provided clear invoices, easy to understand emails, was happy to get on the phone when necessary, and set clear expectations about timelines and communication.

Also, the flowers were AMAZING. I gave pretty vague preferences - I wanted something colorful that had texture and included some dark pinks. I don't have professional photos yet and the ones below don't really do them justice, but they were fun and interesting (and LOCAL!). If you're considering using them for any kind of event, I 100% recommend it!
