About

As a family-owned business designing stunning floral for weddings since 1934 years, we bring generations of history and talent literally to your wedding floral and décor that no one else in the Chicagoland area can give to your big day. Our middle name is “Preferred,” because that is how our couples are treated to our self-set higher standards of "Preferred" customer service.

Our tagline was given to us by a Father of the Bride by proclaiming in a ballroom, “Kloeckner's sure can create big-city style with our suburban budget.” We are known as a vendor that delivers tremendous value with fabulous floral and décor.

We work in virtually every venue & hotel downtown and in the suburbs too. Our studio is close to Midway Airport and has an impressive inventory of on-trend rental vases, vessels, and votive candles that will make your wedding look just as you’ve envisioned when combined with our always garden-fresh floral designs.

But what if you’re not sure about floral or only have a bunch of pictures pinned on your Pinterest?

No worries, Mark, the 3rd generation owner, will guide you through a floral conversation (over zoom or an in-studio consult) to understand the direction and ideas that feel right to you - all while being realistic about your budget.

Mark has a knack for finding ways to repurpose pieces from your ceremony to the reception and will have his experienced staff deliver floral on the day of your wedding as needed; for most couples, this includes:

  • The Wedding Party’s bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages can be delivered to your hotel or home early for photos
  • The Kloeckner crew can arrive at the ceremony location to set up alter pieces, aisle décor, Chuppahs, or arbors for a lovely setting to exchange vows, then remove these pieces for a second use at the reception.
  • For the reception, tabletop centerpieces, wedding party tablescape designs, focal points & table numbers, and candlescapes are set up as planned with enough time for either a sneak-peek by the couple or a few fantastic room shots for the photographer!

Oh, one more thing…well, actually two…

  1. About 2 months before your wedding, you’ll have a sample meeting where you’ll see the table centerpieces have the ability to make adjustments to the designs and review the table counts for the reception – At no charge, it's part of the preferred service we’re known for!
  2. We can help with additional wedding decor services such as event lighting, fabric from hanging panels to rolling out a crisp white aisle runner, and large-scale decor elements, including Chuppahs, arbors, and canopies.

Bottom line, with Kloeckner Preferred Flowers, you have a proven and trusted vendor that:

  • Can take care of all of your wedding décor needs
  • A team of talented designer that only works with the freshest of floral combined with stylish containers
  • It is proud to have the lowest labor rates in the city so that your floral budget will be focused on your wedding’s best look for your investment.
  • We have stood by each couple in 2020, affected by the need to postpone due to COVID, and simply changed the date on their contract to reflect their new date. We’re a solid company that supports our couples and will see them on their new wedding date.

We would love to have the opportunity to create a custom proposal with line-item pricing supported by photos that are inspirational and/or feature our recent work.

Exceeded our expectations in every way!

Mark and Kloeckner Events knocked our wedding out of the park. We couldn't have been happier! We contacted Kloeckner two months before our wedding, after another florist bailed on us. Mark saved the day.

My bridal bouquet was stunning, with a mixture of full roses, succulents, and more. My bridesmaids' bouquets were lovely and the perfect size. The groom and groomsmen's flowers were stunning and looked great against their black suits. The large bouquets at the front of the alter looked gorgeous and made such a statement, as did the table arrangements and cocktail hour flowers.

We honestly couldn't have been happier. Thank you so much, Mark and the entire team at Kloeckner. You exceeded our expectations & we so appreciated the opportunity to see our flowers before wedding day too! Everything was fantastic and our guests were floored!

Fantastic full service flower shop, highly recommend

I worked with Mark and Pam from Kloeckner Preferred Flowers for my wedding, and they did phenomenal work. I was coming in from out of town for my wedding so we did everything remotely by phone and email-- they were kind, responsive, efficient through the whole process, and made my vision a reality. The ceremony backdrop, centerpieces, and my bouquet were all gorgeous, the colors and floral designs were just as we discussed, and I couldn't have been happier.

Exactly what we wanted!

Kloeckner was great! They took the inspiration photos that I sent and really listened to exactly what I was looking for. Our flowers and décor turned out exactly the way we wanted. We wanted fairly simple flowers and much more focus on the candle-light. And when I asked to re-use some of the décor from the ceremony for the reception in order to stay within my budget, they were very flexible and willing to do as I wanted. Everything went very smoothly the day of, including the bouquet and boutonniere drop-offs. I would highly recommend!

Great experience with Kloeckner!

We had a wonderful experience working with Kloeckner Preferred Flowers. Mark and his team were professional, worked with our budget and responsive from start to finish. I enjoyed the meeting before the wedding where we got to 'preview' the centerpieces and talk through the flower decorations and logistics. On the wedding day, Kloeckner totally delivered- all deliveries went off without a hitch and all the flowers were absolutely beautiful and held up all day. The only note was that the groom didn't love Kloeckner's recommendation to have the boutonnière brought to the church, since they didn't have the flowers on during some pre-ceremony photos. Overall, we would definitely recommend Kloeckner.

Absolutely Stunning Wedding Floral

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kloeckner Preferred Flowers! Our wedding bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpieces, and EVERYTHING was straight off of a Dream wedding Pinterest board. Working with Mark could not have been a more positive experience, he truly listened to our vision and brought our dream wedding to life. He was extremely flexible when we asked to add ideas in after our initial meeting. I can not recommend Kloeckner Flowers enough and am so grateful to them for making our wedding look like a fairy tale!

Fabulous New Years Eve Wedding Flowers!

Mark and the team did an excellent job of capturing our floral vision and delivering on everything they promised. He was able to work within our budget, was very responsive and made beautiful arrangements! We also wanted the flowers to be picked up from the venue after our New Years Eve wedding and brought to the hotel where our brunch would be the next day and he happily coordinated that. Everything was excellent from start to finish!
