    Flawless - wonderful experience!

    We hired Melissa originally for a 07/2020 wedding - but had to postpone for a full year due to the pandemic. Melissa is a superhero and made things so easy!

    When interviewing florists, I was really impressed at how thorough she was with her planning and most importantly, how she was very willing to work within our budget. At no point did I ever feel pressured to spend more (as I did with some other vendors I interviewed). She was efficient throughout the planning process and always responded to my ideas with enthusiasm and suggestions. She seamlessly coordinated with our venue coordinator and the day of went off without a hitch.

    Melissa did our venue florals and hit the nail right on the head in terms of what I wanted - organic, simple, greenery. Thank you!!

    It was FLORAL love at first sight!

    Trablume was the first florist I reached out to when I was beginning my search for my wedding floral vendor. Initially, Melissa and I spoke over the phone for our first consultation. She was very professional and asked me questions about my floral vision that helped me hone in on what I truly wanted out of my wedding flowers. But what really made her stand out to me after consulting with a few other florists was how accommodating and flexible she was with her clients.

    Halfway through my search and having spoken with a few more florists, my design concept changed pretty drastically and I decided to reach back out to Trablume to see if she would be willing to meet in person for a second consultation. Melissa did not hesitate and our meeting at her floral studio really sealed the deal! We created the design for the ceremony and reception flowers, the bridal and wedding party bouquets and boutonnieres, and the most stunning ceremony arch all within that one meeting. To top of the perfect proposal was that she stayed within my budget and was much more affordable than the other florists I had been looking into!

    Throughout my entire wedding planning process, there were so many things that I felt uncertain about or changed my mind back and forth over, EXCEPT for the floral design Melissa created. Thanks to her, I never wavered on what we had come up with, and any questions I had for her were answered in record time. She even threw in cocktail table flowers and the petals around the arch at no extra charge.

    On my wedding day, she delivered my bouquet and bridesmaid bouquets in person to the location we were getting ready and thank goodness I was sitting down at the time! They absolutely blew me away. To see what we had talked about for so long so gorgeously executed stole my breath from me. She captured our vision so perfectly and put so much care and effort into every aspect of the ceremony and reception flowers.

    Thank you to Melissa for making my special day so unforgettable with your stunning florals!

    My wedding was GORGEOUS!

    Thanks you so much Melissa for everything you and your team did to make my wedding day so beautiful! The florals and all of the decor we arranged turned out perfect! Melissa is a creative genius and it was hard for me to trust and not have seen a physical bouquet before the wedding but it was probably best I didn’t. When you see her work it takes your breath away! I rented a ton of items to decorate and she even created a photo area for me! Everyone keeps talking me how beautiful my wedding was! Thanks so much Melissa!!

    This review is regarding our initial consultation. Melissa was very friendly and professional. We discussed our floral vision, reviewed some inspiration photos, and she was able to craft a proposal based on what we wanted. She will work with you for any budget. I highly recommend hiring Trablume for your wedding!

    Gorgeous Flowers, Great Service

    I reached out to multiple florists for my wedding and Melissa at Trablume was by far the most responsive! She got back to me so quickly initially and after my requests for more information. She instilled absolute confidence in their designs and were very flexible with the options she provided. I couldn't be happier with the flowers and decor for the wedding. Melissa made it so easy!

    Cannot thank Melissa enough for designing my flowers for my June 2018 wedding! I really was blown away at how it all came together, especially since I probably changed my vision 5 times.

    During our first consultation, Melissa listened to my "initial" vision and I was so happy that she was willing to work within my budget of 3-4k. I loved how she provides a proposal and you can see exactly what you’re paying for and what flowers will be in what pieces. As we kept in touch throughout the year, there were many more revisions and Melissa always listened and was more than happy to meet and provide her expertise if something was off. I really felt confident that she would do a great job.

    The day of, she came on time and brought all the bouquets. They were exactly what I wanted and even more! When I got to the venue I loved all the centerpieces and greenery and petals that she placed on tables. I really was blown away. The cake decor was also beautiful. As the groom and I walked up to the cake, he even stopped and had to pause to admire the flowers on the cake.

    I am very happy with choosing Trablume as my florist for my wedding and will continue to use her services for any other future events. =)

    Melissa, owner of Trablume, did an absolutely AMAZING job with the flowers for our wedding and reception. Her flower arrangements are inventive, unique, and beautiful. Scrolling through her Instagram, I am continually wowed by her work. On our wedding day, she delivered with arrangements that looked just as stunning in person as on her social media.
    From our first meeting to the brunch the day after our wedding, she was reliable, friendly, and easy to work with. My husband and I had a relatively low budget for what we were looking for so we met with a few florists to explore our options. Melissa was the best. She was understanding of our price point and was committed to getting us as close to what we were looking for within our budget as possible. She listened attentively as we described our vision, asked several questions, and showed us examples. A couple days after the meeting, she sent us a quote with a couple of different options, complete with inspiration photos. As the date of the wedding got closer, we were in close communication via email, tweaking things to fit the changes to the wedding plan I’d made since our first meeting. As things changed, Melissa was quick to come up with new ideas and to respond to my emails.
    On the day of the wedding, Melissa showed up right on time. She delivered the perfectly arranged bridal flowers to the room. One of our money saving plans was to use the same flowers for both the wedding and the reception so Melissa stayed until after the ceremony to move all the flowers the reception room while we were at cocktail hour (she includes complimentary cocktail flowers!). The reception flowers were exactly as I envisioned! Moreover, she had transformed our simple cake into an elegant masterpiece with the complementary cake flowers. At the end of the night, she returned to pick up all the items expect for a few centerpieces we were using the next day for brunch.

    I just wanted to follow up to last weekend's event and say THANK YOU!

    I was beyond happy with the flowers and how great they looked! I received wonderful feedback from my associate director, she's even asked me so send her over all the pictures from the event!

    Something else that really made a lasting impression, which may seem so silly, was the invoice. I am not joking, I have been going around my office showing my whole department! The fact that there are pictures of the types of flowers, vases, candles they use really makes it so much easier to feel comfortable with what I will actually get for the event.

    Trablume has made a lasting impression with me and my team! It comes without saying they will hear from me for any Chicagoland events!!!

    Melissa is the absolute best. She made our wedding so beautiful and I couldn't be happier with how everything looked together. She was so amazing communicating back and forth with me from the very beginning. We had a specific budget, and she was so great about working with it to give me everything I was hoping for. The bouquets and centerpieces were perfect, and she even added garland around our gazebo pillars for the ceremony.

    I can't say enough wonderful things about Trablume. Will definitely be utilizing services for future events!

    Melissa was absolutely incredible! She is such an artist and a really wonderful person to boot. Flowers were very important to me, and she truly exceeded all my expectations! I was looking for bouquets and centerpieces that were high end, very feminine, whimsical, multiple colors, yet unique (a huge ask!); Melissa took my vision and really ran with it, making the flowers of my DREAMS. She has awesome ideas that brought all my asks to reality. I would highly recommend her to anyone! She was super easy to work with, putting me at ease with her professionalism, great communication and her sweet personality. Melissa is never pushy and delivered wonderful value. She even texted me with last-minute follow up when a shipment came in with peonies that weren't the color that I asked for. She found the ones I wanted, and never made me worry. I'm still over the moon! Thank you, Melissa!!

    My husband and I met Melissa through mutual friends and we are so happy we did! She was always able to talk and very responsive even though we live out of state. We were on a tight budget and Melissa helped to keep us on track! On the day of, she showed up even before me to deliver the flowers. They were BEAUTIFUL! I received so many comments on my bouquet and everyone loved the centerpieces. Melissa also came to clean up the Monday after!!

    Melissa of Trablume was so genuinely nice, and worked so hard to pull my overall vision together. She never tried to up sell me once, and everything was beyond gorgeous.

    Melissa was one of the best vendors I worked with. My earlier concern was my budget and she made she to provide me something within it! The flowers for the wedding was stunning and she did an amazing job. She was right on time and provided an amazing level of customer service. The center pieces were a big hit and she extended my expectations. Melissa had awesome customer service and was very accommodating. I truly couldn't have asked for a better person to work with!!! She is affordable, professional, understanding, and give you the best product a bride could ask for!!

    Melissa was fantastic!! She knew exactly what I wanted, and the flowers were gorgeous. She was able to fit our small budget better than I could have ever imagined. My bouquet was great, as were the centerpieces and bridesmaid bouquets. She was very easy to work with, responsive, and clear. When she arrive to deliver the flowers, I was a bit frazzled (bride... wedding day), and she took complete control in helping set them up, and get the flowers in the right hands. She was wonderful to work with, and I would absolutely work with her again!

    When looking for a florist for our wedding, I was so glad I found Melissa! I didn't want the the typical bridal flowers, and was having trouble finding a reasonably priced florist that was able to go a tad out of the box with wildflowers, ferns, etc. I got in contact with her and we had an awesome initial phone conversation that resulted in her seeing my vision. She sure did deliver amazing results! The final result was stunning, from the bouquets to the centerpieces. Melissa had excellent communication, she really catered to my vision, and even delivered the flowers to all the locations herself (bridesmaid's house, ceremony site, reception venue)! I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

    I originally booked my wedding flowers with Michael from Milwaukee School of Floral Design, but learned later on that my wedding was contracted out to Trablume Floral Studio. With that being said, having never worked with Melissa or spoke to her first hand, she did an absolutely stunning job. The flowers, both center pieces and bouquets/corsages/boutonnieres, were just gorgeous. I am so happy with how everything turned out, and in the end, was so thankful Milwaukee School of Floral Design selected Trablume Floral Studio to contract my wedding to. I wanted to be annoyed by the situation, but I how can I be when my expectations were not just met, but exceeded.

    Besides creating beautiful floral arrangements, Melissa was really accommodating. I forgot to arrange the bouquet/boutonniere drop off time. When I called to get them last minute for our pre-ceremony photographs, Melissa showed up on site immediately. The flowers used were also extremely fresh. The bouquets created for our table arrangements lasted nearly two weeks before they began to show signs of dying.

    Overall, I was extremely impressed, especially with what Trablume was able to create with our limited budget. Next time I need flowers, I will be contacting Melissa directly.

    Melissa was so sweet and helpful throughout this process. I was not a bride with a specific vision, but with one phone call and some adjectives that I used to describe what I wanted, she created an atmosphere in our venue that was outstanding. I also greatly appreciate her willingness to work within my budget in a way that did not feel restricting at all. She worked with our finances and the flowers looked luxurious!

    I really wasn't into having a lot of flowers at my wedding... but after seeing the way Melissa arranged and created such AMAZING bouquets and centerpieces I wished I would have gone with more. I received SO many compliments on my bouquet, my bridesmaids, and my gorgeous center pieces... I'd recommend her for any wedding. The prices were very reasonable, and Melissa was so fun and kind to work with. I didn't really have a vision of what I wanted, but the one she helped me create was awesome. I loved all of my flowers on my wedding day, and wouldn't have gone with any other florist!

    Melissa is a floral magician! She somehow managed to take my ideas (which were disorganized and constantly changing) and create the vision I had in my head. My flowers were gorgeous! She has so many amazing ideas! We would brainstorm together and she would give me such helpful suggestions and recommendations while allowing me to take the lead. She would also send me photos to see which ones I connected to most just to make sure she was fully understanding the vision I had. I can't tell you how many of my guests complimented the flowers, and I give her all the credit. Not to mention she is very reasonably priced for the amazing quality of work she puts into making sure your day goes smoothly and looks just how you want it to. I would highly recommend her to ANY bride & groom who are looking for a memorable floral design!

    Melissa was absolutely wonderful! I showed her the million ideas I had of things that i liked but was having difficulty picking the arrangements to pull my theme together. Melissa's talent for working with flowers shined as she picked through my ideas and really brought a vision together that left me speechless. I was on a strict budget and not only was she able to stay within that budget we came in UNDER! I should also mention that I was a bride that was trying to plan my Milwaukee wedding from Iowa so communication via phone and email was crucial. I would view myself as a somewhat anxious and nervous bride, wanting all details to turn out perfectly and Melissa made that happen. It was was such a relief to NOT have to worry about the flowers while I was trying to take care of all the details because Melissa made me feel that I could trust in her abilities and talents. I would recommend Melissa again and again to any bride!!!
