We used to think that mood boards were just a way to capture general inspiration and vibes for an event. Life in Bloom proved us wrong as they managed to bring our mood board pictures into reality. We don’t just mean getting an approximation, we mean a fully accurate interpretation that honestly enhanced those stunning images. We used Life in Bloom for décor for our Indian wedding with four events across four separate venues all around Chicago. We are still receiving praise for how amazing each event looked, with guests specifically highlighting the attention to detail as well as the gorgeous floral arrangements. One guest told us that she had been taking pictures of every single floral arrangement because they all looked perfect. Another guest sent us a message that said, “the Wedding Mandap and the bridal walkway were the most beautiful I have ever seen. The floral arrangements at every event were mind blowing.”

From our very first meeting, Rachel, Tim, and Sara spent a lot of time understanding our wishes. They then crafted color palettes and mood boards for each event, giving each one a completely unique identity while making everything feel cohesive with consistent motifs throughout. One of our worries with so many events was that it might end up feeling repetitive, but every single event felt completely different to the one that came before. In this process, we loved seeing how excited the Life in Bloom team was, working off each other and continuously suggesting new ideas. They worked well together while never losing sight of what we wanted or what made sense logistically. When we arrived at our first décor sample, we knew we had made the right choice. Everything looked stunning, and their initial placements of linens, napkins, and tablescapes were already so well thought out. The actual events were no different, looking jaw-dropping at every single venue. We loved that we got to see each room first, and there are plenty of pictures of us literally on the floor in awe. We wish we got to see guests’ reactions for the room reveals because we know every single one left people speechless.

We also wanted to highlight how easy it was to work with the Life in Bloom team. We never felt any friction or resistance. We loved seeing them at every venue, watching our reactions from afar but never interrupting us. We later learned that one of the installers from one of our venues never showed up, and apparently Tim himself jumped in for an emergency complex installation of the large centerpiece item. On our wedding ceremony day, there was a lot of unpredictable weather. Instead of forcing us into the much easier rain plan, Life in Bloom worked with us through a lot of fluid decisions and installation that let us have our dream wedding outdoors, something we appreciate so much.

We really hope people look through the Life in Bloom portfolio and see their impressive work, especially their florals. They did so many custom things for us that were all very intricate, and they had to work on a ton of different line items in many different locations, day after day. We can’t recommend them enough.

Hiring Life in Bloom was the best decision we could have made for our wedding. The design, details, and execution were above and beyond anything we could have expected. We worked with Brian and Leah who were both very kind, patient, and thoughtful in their work. They made our event come to life with classic, subtle beauty that still managed to pop in the venue. Our guests have raved about the floral, custom dance floor, bar, and tables. 10/10 recommend.

The florals, set design, and day-of production provided by Erin Korab and Life in Bloom left us speechless and stunned on our big day. From our very first meeting, we knew that working with Erin and Life in Bloom was special– we didn't know how special until we saw the final floral design on our big day! Erin and the entire Life in Bloom team are brimming with creative talent and truly brought our wedding at the Chicago Cultural Center to life. We can't recommend them enough!

Our goal was to create a victorian/goth atmosphere for our daughter's wedding, lush velvets, deep rich colors, and lots of textures that transported our guests into something utterly unique and Brian and his team delivered in spades! Completely transforming our historic venue to a new level with floral installations, velvet drapings, candles, the most amazing florals we've ever seen. Large ceiling installations, huge focal walls, all done in such a beautiful natural way - it was everywhere yet not overpowering, elevating each unique space. From the wedding arch to interior reception hall (varied tablescapes, lush linens, chairs, chargers, goblets, varied heights of lush florals and fruits and varied lighting elements), to dance floor area with suspended ceiling florals and custom dance floor pattern, simply amazing. Bring your ideas and I have no doubt that they will exceed expectations!

I knew before even getting engaged, after following Life in Bloom on Instagram, they would be my choice for florals for my wedding. I knew I wanted a floral and decor team that did both to streamline and execute everything perfectly— I had the pleasure of working with the extremely talented Erin!

Her and her team executed everything flawlessly, and I am still speechless when I think about how stunning it all was. I recently got some of my photos back with previews of the ceremony and reception, and I can hardly believe it was my wedding—it’s that breathtaking. She trusted my vision and also gave her input/ opinions and took things to another level. We are two weeks out and people are still talking about my florals.

12/10 recommend, they made my wedding stunning.

We had the absolute amazing pleasure of using Life in Bloom for the design of our wedding. We worked with the insanely talented Brian, who made the entire process spectacular. From the initial planning, vision boards, renderings, sample day, and the final product everything was curated and better than we expected. Our guests continue to mention how detailed all the design elements of the wedding were. All the florals created an aroma that filled the guests’ noses right when they entered the space. Do yourself a favor and book this company! We looked at all the comparable design/flower companies and no one came close to life in bloom. The level of details, design creativity and passion was not comparable. My husband cried at our room reveal because it was better than we could ever imagine.

Life in Bloom absolutely brought our wedding florals to life in the most beautiful way. Even months later, I still can’t get over how perfectly everything came together. The vibe on the first day was calm and serene, with blush pinks, whites, and just the right hint of purple in the garlands. The mandap was stunning, and so many of my friends took photos to save as inspiration!

On the second day, the floral arch was a total showstopper. Guests kept asking who designed it, and I loved pointing them to Life in Bloom. But more than just the beauty of the flowers, working with Brian and Jensen was such a great experience. They excel at what they do, and I’m so grateful for the impact they had on our wedding.

Life in Bloom did a phenomenal job with our wedding reception decor! The ballroom was stunning. They executed my vision flawlessly and made the whole process very easy. We received so many compliments from guests on our mirror display, table settings, and floral arrangements! Highly recommend.

WOW - it's almost hard to come up with the words! Life in Bloom has been a dream to work with from Day 1. Erin could essentially read my mind when I described to her "white and green, not tight" - and came up with an incredible proposal that really was exactly what I wanted. When I wanted to incorporate Origami cranes into the décor, she suggested an art installation on the Bar, which was one of my favorite elements of the entire wedding and so special to me. I also asked for a tree which Life in Bloom created for me on top of our Escort Card table! Their talent is evident. Erin was also extremely responsive to all of my questions and requests throughout the planning process, and provided invaluable advice that proved to really make the night a success. My guests described our wedding as "lush" and I would have to agree - I loved all of our blooms, from our bouquets to the centerpieces, and it was truly my vision come to life! I highly recommend Life in Bloom to anyone getting married or seeking statement florals!

Deciding to work with Life in Bloom was one of the absolute best decisions I made for our wedding. I was hesitant initially (mainly due to budget). Any hesitation I had was immediately wiped away when I met with Erin and Tori at Life in Bloom. Not only was their initial proposal dynamite, but they truly LISTENED to our feedback. Intently. Eagerly. They immediately started coming up with alternatives that matched our vision and budget. They were so open to feedback. This team truly wants to deliver YOUR perfect day, not just theirs. I never saw my fiancé get more excited about our wedding than when we were meeting with Erin and Tori. Talking to them really made him feel like things were going to be done well and go according to plan. That peace of mind was huge. Their minds are constantly whirring and thinking about your day. Months after our initial meeting, they were still drawing on new inspiration and ideas. I was blown away by our preview. I was expecting to have to suggest a lot of changes and be left with some degree of uncertainty between the preview and the wedding. Instead, I left the preview beyond excited about how awesome our day was going to be. They produced the wedding of my dreams within a budget I felt comfortable with. Their excitement was contagious and their support was palpable throughout the entire process, and especially on the big day. I could not be more impressed with this team. I cannot express how grateful I am that we trusted them with our wedding. They exceeded even our highest expectations. I feel lucky to have worked with such talented and creative people.
