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!

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!

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!
