Grace is amazing! We had some specific requests for photo table and chuppah but we loved how floral arrangements turned out!

So grateful to have worked with Grace
Grace was incredible in every single way - not only is she incredibly talented and has an amazing eye for design but she is such a warm and kind-hearted soul that we couldn’t be more grateful to work with. We met with a number of florist / design companies, including some very premium-priced ones in Chicago, but Grace stood out from the beginning as someone who would be phenomenal to work with and help us realize our vision effectively and efficiently. We particularly really appreciated how Grace worked with us to find ways to reuse different design elements between the ceremony and reception. The day of the event, we were blown away by the ceremony arch and centerpiece decor. My bouquet was absolutely beautiful and she went above and beyond to refresh our flowers before the ceremony and even the next day for our bridal brunch. Grace is such a gem and I would recommend her whole heartedly to anyone getting married in the Chicago area.

Incredible!
Look no further for your wedding florist!!
Grace is absolutely AMAZING. When I began trying to find a florist, I had a few very short calls with other companies and was sent a somewhat vague proposal. Grace stayed on the phone with me for over an hour going through every piece of my vision and requests, and then sent over the most detailed proposal outlining every single small piece of the floral set up she planned to do. It made my choice so easy!
With a long engagement (2 years) I changed my mind quite a bit from beginning to end about what I wanted the aesthetic of my wedding to be. Grace was so, so patient and kind and remained excited and full of ideas throughout the whole process. She helped problem solve and rework things to stay within my budget. She did both a trial table meeting and attended the final walk through, and I felt like I didn't have to worry about a thing the day of! Everything from the bouquets, to the ferns we placed outside, to the candles set up in the venue looked absolutely BEAUTIFUL, and was just as I had hoped it would look. I almost cried when I walked into the reception room - it looked that amazing.
I cannot recommend Grace & her team enough!! Thank you so much for being such a hugely important part of my day!!

Incredible wedding florist!
I’m so happy we used Vale of Enna for our wedding floral! I know very little about flowers, but somehow Grace was able to take my Pinterest inspiration and create exactly the vibe I was looking for. She truly made the space feel magical! I’m also very grateful she always kept our budget in mind and thought of clever ways to reuse the floral throughout the night -- we ended up being able to have candles lining the aisle during our ceremony since we already had them for the centerpieces later in the evening. Huge thanks to Grace and her team for doing such an incredible job!

More beautiful floral then I could have dreamed!
Grace is a floral mastermind!!! When starting to plan our wedding, floral/design/ambiance was one of the elements I was most concerned about. Design is not my forte, but I obviously wanted the wedding to be gorgeous with the perfect fall feel. I wanted it to feel elegant yet also warm, and intimate. At our first meeting at Vale of Enna, my worries were immediately erased, Grace truly knows what she is talking about and takes comprehensive notes on all of your floral dreams. After receiving our detailed proposal, I knew Grace was going to be able to turn my vision in the most beautiful reality. The planning meeting a month or so before the wedding was also so helpful – Grace walked us through all the details and even showed us our two centerpieces. It was so nice leaving the meeting to have complete peace of mind for floral on the day.
The flowers on our wedding day were absolutely stunning with the perfect shades of red, burgundy, creams, peachy orange, and of course plenty of greenery. She also included 1000’s of candles in rustic gold votives which created the perfect intimate feel I was looking for. When I walked into the venue I was completely blown away. It was even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined.
Not only is Grace beyond brilliant when it comes to your wedding look and floral she is also one of the kindest, sweetest people I have ever met! She is so easy to work with and truly takes your vision and turns it into a reality. She was so helpful in all the questions I asked – even about linens, and also worked with our budget to make sure we didn’t have to sacrifice the look we wanted because of expenses. Grace, we can never thank you enough, thank you for making our wedding day everything I ever dreamed of and more!

Grace at Vale of Enna was incredible!
Grace at Vale of Enna was absolutely incredible. My husband and I had a tough time finding a florist at first, mainly because of the price. We had a pretty strict budget as to what we wanted to spend on flowers and Grace was extremely flexible and accommodating to what we needed. She captured our vision perfectly; you would have thought that we spent triple of what we did on flowers because of how amazing she made it look! We received endless complements on our flowers. I would recommend Vale of Enna to anyone looking for a well-priced, but high quality florist. Not to mention, Grace is an absolute doll who was so personable, professional, and just an all-around sweetheart to work with.

My wedding planner recommended them for my wedding flower decor and I am super happy with their work! Everything turned out gorgeous, exactly as I pictured it. We met with Grace at their very charming and cosy studio. All I knew was that I wanted peonies and soft blush and white colors, and I showed some pictures from Pinterest that I liked. And Grace suggested a bunch of other flowers that we could add, which I had no idea what they were :) But I saw her portfolio before, so I just trusted her. She is very artistic and talented! They decorated pews in the church with flowers, which they later used for cocktail tables and the cake, which was very nice. I got a lot of compliments from guests about flowers that day! Thanks a lot guys!!!

Sarah did the floral for my sister's wedding and it was just incredible, so of course she was my first choice when it came time to plan my own wedding! I can't say enough about how talented Sarah is! Sarah immediately grasped the concept I was going for and right away knew all sorts of flowers and greenery we could use to make it come to life, and she did! Everything she did for our wedding turned out so amazing! My bouquet was to die for! She mixed lanterns and floral for our centerpieces and we had a beautiful floral/greenery arch for our ceremony. Everything was just so beautiful and special!

Oh. my. goodness. Sarah and team and Vale of Enna absolutely knocked it out of the park for our wedding. We sat down in their studio (like walking into pinterest) for about an hour and it was like Sarah was in my head. She brought my vision to life and then made it even better. Not only were my arrangements to die for, Sarah made it so fun and was such a joy to work with. I'd work with them over and over again. Thank you guys!!!

I worked with Sarah of Vale of Enna and I HIGHLY recommend her! All of the bouquets and boutonniers were a true work of art! Sarah incorporated our colors, our concept, cultures and emotions we wanted to convey! Quite a lot of things to combine, but she did it and everything was gorgeous! Sarah is personable, approachable, professional, reliable and fun to work with. I highly recommend Vale of Enna and if you get to work with Sarah you are very lucky!

Sarah & Grace at Vale of Enna were extremely professional to work with. From the first time that I met them, throughout my 18 month engagement, they were a joy. You can tell the two of them are truly artists and love what they do. They took a vision in my mind and created the most spectacular, floral arrangement. They did both the arrangements for our rehearsal dinner at Table 52 & the wedding at St Chrys & Cafe Brauer. They were able to locate the specific flowers & colors (blush & ivory peonies, lily of the valley) to include in my bridal bouquet. They were also very accommodating to provide what we wanted within the budget that we had to work with.

LOVED working with Grace and her team for my wedding flowers for my June wedding. When we first met with Grace on our initial appointment, I felt listened to. I didn't know any flower names but I knew I wanted something summery, pretty, with bright colors...and Grace and her team sure executed. We couldn't not have been happier with the final product. We got so many compliments on our flowers on our wedding day. Would highly, highly recommend Vale of Enna!

Vale of Enna provided our flowers and some other ceremony items for our wedding a few weeks ago. We LOVE Grace!! She was so helpful during the planning process and communicated with us throughout. I think I got more compliments on my flowers than on my dress. :) From start to finish, they made everything stress-free and everything turned out so much more beautiful than I could have planned. If you're looking for flowers or just any decor for the ceremony and reception, call them now!! Their prices are very reasonable and will work with you to make sure you get what you want. :)

We LOVED Grace! We got married at Independence Grove on March 28th and everything was perfect! They were very flexible when we kept adding things and changing things around. We wanted to add antlers and table runners into our center pieces and they were completely on board! We ordered them and they were more than willing to set them up for us! We couldn't have been happier with the end result of our event. Highly recommend them. We will find an excuse to use them again!

Originally I had not planned on having flowers at our wedding, they just weren't that important to me. But our parents definitely hinted that they wanted flowers, and I needed a chuppah anyway (which is usually provided by a florist). I spoke with a few florists and Grace at Vale of Enna just seemed to understand our style and vibe that we were going for. She was also super nice and patient through all my questions and revisions and dealing with my budget constraints. In the end, I'm so thrilled we hired Vale of Enna to do our ceremony and reception flowers/decor. It was so beautiful and really set the mood of the wedding in my opinion. The chuppah was especially gorgeous with the uplighting. Our parents were also so happy with how things turned out and thought the chuppah was stunning. I even noticed someone added some flowers to our cake, which was not planned/included in our contract. It was a really nice touch and made it look much prettier. The whole Vale of Enna team was so sweet, I'd recommend them for any type of event. (P.S. - I'm a flower convert now! Thanks, Vale of Enna!)

Grace is amazing! There are no words to describe not only her services, but her efforts in individualizing her services to you. The flowers were so beautiful! We went on a 10 day honeymoon few days after the wedding and when we returned the flowers still smelled gorgeous and looking a little dry, but still beautiful and intact. We had the most compliments from our guests for the centerpieces. They were truly a dream come true. It rained on our wedding day and our ceremony was outside and was supposed to have the walkway where bride walks densely covered in petals. Well due to rain and wind, it did not work out and we decided to place them on the reception tables. She stayed to the last minute until I walked down the isle to wait for the wind to see if we could still have what I wanted on the aisle. Thankfully the rain still stopped just for the ceremony and pictures. My husband/groom boutonniere broke prior to ceremony, Grace fixed it right up for him fast! Grace is the BEST!

Grace is beyond amazing! She did the flowers for my July wedding and somehow managed to make sense of the random words that came out of my mouth when telling her what I was envisioning for my wedding and turn it into something beautiful.
I asked for 4 different but cohesive looks because I wanted each bouquet to be a single color.... then I needed coordinating boutonnieres for each groomsman and then coordinating flower fairy wands for each flower girl... then coordinating flowers for everyone else in my large (50 person) Wedding Party. She said no problem without skipping a beat and started giving me examples of flowers she was thinking of using for each color. Every bouquet, boutonnière, fairy wand, corsage, etc. was beautiful and then she brought each flower into my bouquet to tie it in together.
For the reception I told her I wanted a variety and I wanted them to be bold. She created three different centerpieces in varying heights. When my husband and I walked into the room it literally took our breath away. Not only were the centerpieces beautiful but the cocktail and lounge area had flowers as well making the whole room look amazing!
Grace is super friendly and brilliant at what she does! She's definitely someone I highly recommend!

I had heard about Vale of Enna before and saw many beautiful pictures of her work and decided that it might be a good idea to see if she was available during the busy summer wedding season when I got married and she was! When I sat down and met with Grace, she was very warm and friendly and made me feel comfortable. But not only that, it seemed like she was able to envision what I wanted my wedding to look like so effortlessly. I received many compliments from the guests about how beautiful the floral arrangements were. Everything was perfect! All the pieces were in place and on time and well executed! She was so easy to work with and is incredibly talented and I am so happy that I went with her!

Grace from Vale of Enna did an amazing job as our wedding florist!
We spoke with several florists before deciding to go with Vale of Enna and their designs were either not what we were looking for or way out of our price range.
She was wonderful to work with and created a gorgeous hanging flower installation for our wedding.
Her work is absolutely beautiful, she is very kind and responsive, and we could not have been more pleased with how lovely everything was.
