Perfect, Creative Fall Fruit & Vegetable Wedding Florals

Florist & Hound Design is truly incredible - Klaudia took the utmost care at designing our wedding florals to absolute perfection. She is patient, creative and able to bring a vision to life (and stay within budget)! I am not a very creative person, but showed her a few inspiration photos and she was able to completely design our space beyond what I had imagined. If you are looking for showstopping, perfect wedding florals from a small business that truly cares - look no further!!!

Beautiful Results & Helpful Consulting

Florist & Hound did such an amazing job bringing our vision of "blooming springtime meadow" to life! The combination of arrangements truly made it feel like we were immersed in flowers the entire day and it could not have been more perfect! Klaudia was a dream to work with and made it so easy to translate the jumble in my head into a reality. She also helped figure out new solutions when things changed (different table shapes than expected, building a custom staircase for our stage) and was overall an enormous part of why our wedding was so successful. Thank you!!!

Florist & Hound is the best!

I would recommend Florist & Hound to anyone wanting to work with an amazing florist with an incredible eye for floral arrangements! Klaudia was a joy to work with from start to finish. She is such a kind, caring, creative, and passionate person. I had just a rough idea of what kinds of blooms I wanted, sent along inspiration photos, and she made incredible suggestions for our flower bouquets and table arrangements. She was also so patient with me and re-worked our contract several times until I was able to make it work for my budget. Klaudia delivered our flowers to us on time, and they were extremely vibrant, healthy, & fresh! 100/10, would recommend Florist & Hound!

Beautiful Design and Outstanding Service

Klaudia and Florist & Hound design were, simply put, one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process. Klaudia was kind, courteous, attentive, detail oriented, professional, and amazing in all that she did to bring the floral vision to life for us. Our daughter wanted an elegant garden wedding feel with lots of roses and peonies and Klaudia made this happen. She also always communicated with us on what the cost/budget would look like.
In viewing Klaudia's work online you can see that she excels in so many different floral viewpoints - bright and bold, rustic, elegant and traditional, etc. She can do it all and does it in an enthusiastic and kind way!
We very highly recommend Klaudia and her team, and we thank them so much for all they did for us! They are the best!

Bridal Shower and Rehearsal Dinner DREAM Florals!

I know how overwhelming it can be to select someone to trust with the florals for your special event out of all of the options available in Chicago and its' suburbs, but please do not hesitate to hire this incredible team! Klaudia and her team at Florist & Hound Design dreamed up and executed the most incredible floral creations for both my Bridal Shower and my Rehearsal Dinner.

I will start by saying these events had two completely different looks/vibes as I was planning them, and Klaudia knocked each one out of the park. This shows the incredible range and talent of Klaudia as a floral designer and her team at F&H.

For my bridal shower I wanted the feel to be bright, fun, and whimsical. The venue had lots of natural lighting and greenery to take advantage of, but even with the gorgeous blank canvas, Florist & Hound completely transformed the space into a bright and floral wonderland. My guests could not get over how absolutely beautiful the floral arrangements were all around, and how each component added so much to the event space. F&H even included special details like fresh lemon wedges and other fruit pieces to brighten the entire space. In addition to creating the floral/design elements of the shower, they even created a fun draped background with our sign that we used to take pictures and open presents in front of. I also asked if they could create a small floral component to add to each of my favor bags, which added such a fun pop of color and extra special touch to each bag.

For our small rehearsal dinner I wanted the feel to be romantic, toned-down, and warm. I let Klaudia know that I was envisioning a black, white, and green color palette for the given space, and even with that simple scheme she was STILL able to completely blow my mind. The individual floral elements were nothing short of incredible and took the space to another level entirely. She created pieces for the dinner table itself, spaces around the event room, and cocktail tables in our heated outdoor rooftop space. The look and feel of the entire space was transformed by the abundance of flowers and warmth of the collection of candles. Klaudia even came up with the idea of creating a collection of flowers around the fireplace to frame my husband and I at the table (which looked incredible in pictures).

For both events, F&H completely exceeded my expectations. Not only did they have a quick response time/turnaround time during the planning process, but Klaudia is an amazing person that is the definition of a pleasure to work with. They also went above and beyond in the set up and tear down process for both events, which I know requires a ton of work and coordination with the venues. I cannot wait to utilize Florist & Hound for future special events in my life and I provide my highest recommendation for their business!

Absolute Perfection

You absolutely cannot go wrong with Florist & Hound Design! Our photographer (Colette Marie Photography) put us in contact with Klaudia when we were trying to create a backdrop for our wedding ceremony and the floral/greenery wall Klaudia created was drop dead gorgeous - I could not have envisioned a more perfect wall! She even coordinated them with the bouquet and boutonniere (which were also just beautiful) which I really appreciated. We gave her very little to go on and she STILL managed to go above and beyond what I was picturing. Klaudia was great to work with, provided very detailed design proposals for each item, and is just an extremely delightful human being. I am so thrilled she was a part of our wedding day!

Pure magic

As a recent Florist & Hound bride and a Wedding Planner by trade, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Florist & Hound!

Klaudia has this incredible ability to make PURE MAGIC, even if all she’s starting with are a couple of ideas and descriptors of your floral vision. She takes whatever you envisioned and makes it EVEN MORE INCREDIBLE THAN IMAGINED, all thanks to her impeccable design eye, flawless execution and quality blooms.

Klaudia and her team are also AMAZING to work with, often providing advice, insight, support and flexibility throughout the process. You can trust that they’re going to provide you with the absolute best service and the most gorgeous ambiance.

We continue to hear about how gorgeous our wedding flowers were, and know that we found an absolute gem in Florist & Hound Design. Definitely our forever florist!

Far Exceeded Our Expectations

Klaudia not only achieved the vision we had for our wedding, she knocked it out of the park. Every detail was taken into consideration, she was flexible with all the changes we had to make throughout the planning process, my last minute request and gave guidance when we didn’t know how something would look.

From the beautiful bouquets, gorgeous center pieces and our asymmetrical backdrop/arch, Klaudia and Florist & Hound design team exceeded ALL of our expectations. Our special day came with a lot of challenges and Klaudia’s work and service made it that much more special.

Our family couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful the flowers and greenery were and that they have never seen arrangements as stunning, elegant and absolutely perfect.

Forever grateful for Florist & Hound Design for making our day truly memorable. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.
