Beautiful Floral Design for wedding

We loved working with Grace on the centerpieces and other decorations for our daughter's wedding. As soon as we met with her we knew she was the right florist for us. She really listened to our daughter for what she was looking for and did such a beautiful job with everything for the wedding.She was so professional and so easy to work with. We were so happy with everything she put together for the wedding. I highly recommend her.

Amazing work

We hired Vale of Enna to put up and take down some drapery and up lighting at our wedding. The backdrop drapery looked amazing and photographed well and we didn’t even notice them when they were completing the tear down towards the end of the night. Really nice work and we’re happy we worked with their team!

Vale of Enna - a wedding must!

When evaluating florist options for our wedding, we were immediately impressed with Grace's ability to bring our vision to life! She was extremely thorough with such a special attention to detail - and for a reasonable price!

We received so many compliments on our tall flower arrangements at both the church and reception! Grace was so easy to work with & made our day even more special!

10/10 recommend!

Truly the BEST flowers & team!

Grace was PHENOMENAL! We truly could not have had a better experience with Vale of Enna. The flowers were beautiful beyond our expectations (friends who posted pictures of the wedding are still getting asked "who did the flowers" and every guest said they were the most spectacular they have ever seen at a wedding!). We had initial meetings with several florists and Grace stood out from the start--incredibly kind, great listener, creative ideas, and very thoughtful. She created specific elements of the wedding based on us and our families. For example, instead of just making boutonnieres and corsages for the family assuming the same theme as the wedding party, she ask about each person, our relationship with them, and what they might like--this was such a personal touch and meant a lot to us. Grace worked incredibly well with all of our other vendors, communicated clearly, offered a floral trial in her studio so we could see things in person, and even helped us remember things we didn't think of (like a card box that we were able to borrow from her for a very minimal cost!). Grace is incredibly gifted in her art and incredibly kind. She took great care in each element of our wedding, big and small, and it was truly a pleasure to work with her and get to know her. We cannot say enough wonderful things about her and the Vale of Enna team!

Made my DREAM wedding a reality!!!

worked with Corrin for my May 2023 wedding. By far this was the best decision of made of wedding was choosing Vale of Enna as my flower vendor!!

I am not sure how Corrin does it, but I was having a hard time articulating what I wanted, and ensure that I was sticking to a budget as well. After vague emails on my end and some Zoom calls, BAM, Corrin somehow puts together my dream vision board for flowers. She is so flexible if you need to add on things, like the flower girl flower crowns my nieces all of a sudden just had to have.

The vision board was no comparison to the actual day. Everything was absolutely stunning, I could not have even imagined how beautiful it all looked. My advice- let Corrin do her magic because I could never have dreamed it would look so beautiful.

If you have not booked your florist, you absolutely will not regret choosing Vale of Enna!!!

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!

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.

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!

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!

Vale of Enna and Sarah Anderson exceeded all of our expectations. I don't know much about flowers and had a budget in mind. She created the most gorgeous centerpieces and bouquets for our wedding. Guest were completely wow'd by the centerpieces for our reception and ceremony! Would highly recommend having Vale of Enna as your florist on your wedding day or any event you are hosting! They were so easy and friendly to work with!

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!

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. :)

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.

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 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.

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!

Grace from Vale of Enna was so wonderful to work with. She came highly recommended from my sister who also used Vale of Enna for her wedding day floral arrangements, and also through my wedding planner, Charlene of Sweetchic Events. Everything from her professionalism, her ideas, the freshness and quality of her flowers were superb. If I could have a million weddings, I would always use Grace. She made my centerpieces at the reception super lush and beautiful, same with our hand bouquets. Our wedding guests were speechless when they saw the flowers asking who I used. It was Vale of Enna!!! Grace was absolutely wonderful, she is extremely sweet and kind and will bend over backwards for you to make you happy...and boy did she make us happy! I know she did more than we expected when my husband had a smile he couldn't wipe off his face when he saw the arrangements. It was absolutely beautiful. I will always go to Grace for any future floral arrangements needed. Thank you for making my wedding gorgeous!!!

When we first met Grace and explained to her how we envisioned our wedding day, she immediately knew what I wanted and came up with such gorgeous ideas. She was so easy to talk to and worked so hard to make everything beautiful. Our wedding flowers and decor could not have turned out more amazing and breathtaking. My peony bouquet was a huge hit and everyone looked our centerpieces! We loved Grace and her team!!

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!

I met with three florists in Chicago and Grace had the best portfolio, for the best price so booking her was a no brainer. She has amazing taste and a suburb attention to detail. All of our flowers were even better than I had expected them to be. I got so many compliments on how elegant and beautiful everything was, and our wedding wouldn't have been nearly as beautiful without all of the hard work of Grace and her team. I have already recommended her to several other friends getting married, because I am so confident she would never dissapoint anyone. If she has your wedding date available, you will be lucky to work with her. Truly my favorite vendor I worked with and I cant recommend her highly enough.

Grace is sooooo talented. I had seen her work from a past bride and was sold on the pictures before I even met Grace. She was a dream to work with and is such a sweet person. She made sure that all of the little details I wanted came to life and was very good about coming up with creative ideas to go above and beyond. My bouquet and my bridesmaid's flowers turned out to be the best I have ever seen. I will have the pictures forever and will never forget how amazing Grace and her team are. I recommend Grace with highest regards.

I heard about Vale of Enna through a friend that got married a year before me and she had said how upset she was that she wasn't able to get get Vale of Enna as her florist. I contacted them over a year in advance of my wedding and was so thrilled that I made that call. Grace was a total pleasure to work with and completely got my taste and what I was looking for all from one sit down meeting in which I was all over the place. The night of my wedding, I walked into the reception area by myself to find Grace and her assistant still setting up and she was able to put arrange extra flowers in areas I hadn't even thought of. I was so moved at how beautiful the room looked and it was all because of the thought and care that Grace put into our event. I never once worried that something wouldn't look as I had expected. I HIGHLY recommend Vale of Enna and already have to several of my friends getting married.

Grace did such an awesome job making our flower arrangements. They were simply breath taking. The bouquets are huge for the price u pay. The alter arrangements were so beautiful and really brightened up the church. I would recommend doing the flower trial before hand, because it allows you to adjust any issues you may have, and allows Grace to fix what you may not consider perfect because this girl strives to make sure your flowers are perfect. Grace is very easy to work with, and responds to your emails quickly. Her pricing cannot be beat for the quality you receive. Flowers were beautiful got many complements on how my centerpieces and alter arrangements looked. The flowers were extremely fresh looking and lasted throughout the entire day. Will recommend, a must have!!!

Grace, the owner of Vale of Enna is amazing! She was the very first vendor I booked after I got engaged. I was familiar with her work because two of my girlfriends had used her for their weddings and had spoke very highly of Grace. And once I had seen their beautiful arrangements and bouquets, I knew I had to hire Grace for my wedding too! She was so easy to work with and responsive to all my emails. She even did a mock up centerpiece for me to see a few weeks before my wedding to make sure I LOVE it (which I did). On the day of my wedding, all the flowers were absolultey gorgeous. Grace really listens to you and will make sure your vision comes to life!

We were very happy with Vale of Enna and the service they offered. The flowers were beautiful and fresh! I loved the alter and unity candle arrangements! My expectations were met and the design was exactly what I envisioned for my wedding. They were very flexible and accommodating. I will highly recommend Vale of Enna to all my friends.

My husband and I could not have been more happier with choosing Vale of Enna to do our flowers and decor. Grace, the owner, did a fantastic job of bringing to life our vision for the day. Even the most aloof of the groomsmen took note of the beautiful archway Grace had created with branches and flowers intertwined for our ceremony. Even weeks after the ceremony I am still hearing about how beautiful everything was. Grace was always so patient with me as I changed my mind several times on centerpieces, colors, and candles. She's very attentive to detail which makes for perfection! I truly believe no bride can go wrong when choosing Grace because she will work with your budget to produce the most luxurious and beautiful creations and can bring any venue to life. Many thanks to Vale of Enna in making our special day absolutely stunning!

Grace and Vale of Enna were amazing! The flowers were absolutely beautiful and working with her was a breeze. Grace took the time to get an idea of what we were looking for and incorporated some special details of her own to make it all the more impressive. Overall it was a wonderful experience and very reasonable for top notch design and flowers- we'd recommend her to everyone!

Grace, at Vale of Enna, made the most beautiful flower bouquet I have ever seen!!! I absolutely LOVED my flowers and my bridesmaids flowers. I was blown away when I first saw them. It was better than anything I could have imagined!! She did am AMAZING job!!! They were gorgeous! I even got compliments from strangers on how beautiful they were! I have them in a vase on the counter and I wish I could take them on my honeymoon with me!

Grace did an excellent job and really worked within my budget! I can't believe how gorgeous the flowers were and how affordable they were. She gave me better pricing than any other flower company I got a quote from.

Thank you again. The flowers were stunning and affordable!!! It made my wedding day so spectacular and I would HIGHLY recommend Vale of Enna to everyone!!

I chose Vale of Enna through a recommendation of a good friend. I knew I had made the right choice when I saw how delicate, unique, and classic her style was. Grace made stunning center pieces with flowers/branches/candles that are in season during my wedding month, and was creative with ideas that were cost friendly. I didn't have an idea of what I wanted for my wedding (bouquets, center pieces, etc), but I was thankful for the way Grace was able to help me pick a style that fit my personality. Grace was patient and paid exquisite attention to detail. I would recommend Vale of Enna to any future bride. Vale of Enna helped make my wedding planning a success!

Grace is absolutely THE best!!! We did a long, exhaustive search for a florist and we are just so glad we finally stumbled upon Vale Of Enna. We had florists who didn't return our calls, florists who took 6 weeks to get us a quote, florists who literally had only one idea, and florists who gasped at the idea of black satin ribbon for our bridesmaids because it was "too stark." After reading about Grace on a wedding chat board, I contacted her and received an immediate, warm reposnse. It was great communication from the start. Meeting her was even better, as she appreciated our desire for simplicity and never tried to push us on anything. Being younger, she has a great sense of style and isn't afraid to try things that your mom's florist might freak out about! She did such an amazing job working with our budget, but on the day of our wedding, you would not guess these flowers were as affordable as they were! Just big, beautiful blooms that were GORGEOUS! Grace went over and above what we asked for, by adding some really cool arrangements to our guest book table, and by staying a little longer at my mom's house to add some feathers that I had bought to our bouquets! Wonderful experience all around! Thanks Grace!

Grace, you brought my visions to life for our peacock themed wedding. Even though I lived and planned the wedding out in Toronto, I always felt at ease since you were always so quick to respond to my many questions. I really appreciated the fact that you were so flexible and patient with us...especially since there were so many of us. My bridal bouquet was beautiful and held such a touch of elegance...and the bridesmaids bouquets were fun and perfect. My flower girls were precious with their matching ribbons. The centerpieces in the reception hall took my breath away as I walked in for the first time. I trusted you and you really came through for us. Thank you

Grace is incredibly talented and was great to work with. I must have changed my mind on centerpieces at least three times and she never got annoyed. When the centerpiece that I requested came in over budget on my quotation, she sent me pictures of more affordable ideas and surprisingly I liked one of those even better than what I had asked for. From what I hear, she can book up pretty quickly but I booked her a year and half out so I had no problems. I didn't have a huge budget but I was able to really stretch it without having to compromise the quality of the flowers or having to have really small centerpieces. Vale of Enna was one of my favorite vendors to work with when I was wedding planning!

Grace came highly recommended by my wedding coordinator Charlene Liang of Sweetchic Events. After seeing Grace's work online and meeting her in person, I didn't need to meet with anyone else. She was very personable and easy to work with. Grace happened to have two weddings already scheduled for our day, but she luckily agreed to do our personal flowers (bouquet, boutonnieres, corsages). I provided Grace a photo of a bouquet that I saw and fell in love with, and Grace re-created the bouquet beautifully while adding her own personal touch to it. Additionally, I had planned to do my own centerpieces and was wondering how I would find the flowers I needed, and Grace was generous enough to allow me to place an order of flowers through her, which saved us a lot of time and money - two things that are always in short supply when dealing with weddings. I had a very positive experience with Grace and I would have no reservations recommending her!

Vale of Enna's owner, Grace, is very creative. I absolutely loved my bouquet! Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! The quality of the work she did for us was impressive. We received lots of positive comments about the flowers from our guests as well. if there is any opportunity in the future for me to employ Vale of Enna again, I will without any hesitation. Everything was so beautiful!

Grace and her employees were ridiculously awesome. So easy to communicate with and extremely sweet. Her work is so beautiful and creative. It's great quality. The flowers are so fresh, colorful, and stricking in many ways. Many guests of mine gave such positive comments about my flowers and decore. The Hyatt in Oak Brook even thought her work was terrific. Vale of Enna was strongly recommended to me by a close friend and I will strongly recommend her to any and everyone.

Vale of Enna was fantastic from start to finish. The flowers were gorgeous, the service was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

The flowers were very important to my daughter at her wedding and she was very, very pleased as was I. They were unique and lovely. All of the guests commented on how beautiful they were and inquired as to who did them.

I love, love, love, love Grace and the flowers she did for my wedding. I told Grace very little of what I wanted and basically just told her what I liked and the colors I was using and she went from there. Her prices and work are both 100x better than any floral shop I looked at. I only with I was getting married again so I could work with her again and have her amazing work as mine.

I would give Grace with Vale of Enna more stars than 5 if possible! She was absolutely fantastic to work with, does gorgeous work and is at least 1/3 cheaper than every other Chicago florist I looked at. In addition, she spends a lot of time trying to understand your vision and create exactly the look you are going for. She is also very creative and provided the freshest most beautiful flowers for my wedding day. Truly, the only time I shed a happy tear on my wedding day was when I saw my bouquet. It was literally exactly what I had hoped for the flowers were so fresh and bright! Grace is also an extremely nice and good person and it always feels good to give business to nice people! Vale of Enna is beyond exceptional!

We were very impressed with Grace's aesthetic vision for how to best use flowers to enhance the wedding venue space and give it the best lighting and well as coloring to suit the mood of our ceremony and reception. Also, she was able to do it within a reasonably budget without sacrificing the look and feel that we wanted. Her floral arrangements were beautiful and romantic, and she helped us last minute when our cake topper refused to stand by putting some beautiful flowers on top of our cake.

Vale-of-Enna exceeded our expectations by delivering exceptional flower arrangements to our exact specifications. The service, flexibility and value for our flower selections were above and beyond what we feel another flower vendor could have provided. All of our guests complimented the flowers whether it was by taking the flowers home at night or by telling us directly. I highly recommend them!

I worked with Grace at Vale of Enna and I have nothing but good things to say. I heard of her through a friend that went to a wedding where the flowers really impressed her and she found out the vendor to be Vale of Enna.

I met up with Grace once in person and the rest of our correspondence was through email and phone, which was convenient for me. She was incredibly responsive to my questions and requests, often returning my emails and calls that same day. She was very flexible with working within a budget that I was comfortable with.

Plus, her work is absolutely incredible! She puts together the flower arrangements the day of your event, so everything looks tailored to the space. I have to mention also, I told her last minute that there were a couple of candle holders that needed some sprucing up and asked her if she would decorate them for me. Well, she did and they looked so beautiful. She also called during the last week to ask if she could add cherry blossoms to the mix as it was in season and she was excited to include them. How thoughtful! She delivered more than I expected.

I have gotten so many comments about the flowers since then, from the bakery who said the cake looked exquisite after being decorated with flowers by Grace, people from church who said they've never seen the church look more beautiful, my friends who kept inquiring about who the florist was, to my very own mother-in-law who said the florist was one after her own heart!

In the end, I recommend Grace at Vale of Enna because I trust her. She provided me with flowers that really created a mood that I strived for but couldn't exactly articulate when I first met with her. It was beautiful, fun, and relaxed, just my style. It's also evident that she loves what she does and has a true talent for it. In the world of wedding planning, isn't that just the dream vendor?! You will not be disappointed as Vale of Enna is likely the best kept secret in the flower industry of the Chicagoland area!

We worked with Grace from Vale-of-Enna, and she was amazing! Our contact with her before the wedding was wonderful, I didn't know very well what i wanted and she had fabulous ideas about different flowers, and how to have them match my wedding party. The day of the wedding she was on time (a big plus for my parents-in-law who were very nervous) and The flowers were so beautiful, more beautiful than I had imagined them. We pretty much gave her a free hand as long as it was within our budget and colors, and she delivered over and above our expectations. To this day when I show my wedding pictures to people they ask me what the different kinds of flowers are and where I go them (I made quite a few friends jealous of our flowers!).

I would very highly recommend them, the service and product were impeccable.

Vale of Enna did a wonderful job on our luncheon centerpieces as well as place card table arrangement. I gave her the general information of what we were looking for and she went above and beyond our expectations! I asked for a small arrangement for the place card table and she created this beautiful piece with rocks, votive candles and an assortment of vases that was just breath-taking. The table centerpiece arrangements were very sophisticated and playful and guests continued to comment on them throughout the luncheon!

You can trust Grace's artistic judgement with simple guidelines to create something marvelous for your event! She will go above and beyond what you are looking for and will be worth every penny!

I loved Grace and Vale of Enna! I met with three florists, and she was the one who really seemed to grasp my vision right away. Her work definitely reflected my inspiration images but was uniquely her own. She also worked within our budget, and had lots of creative ideas for how to use ceremony pieces in a different way at the reception.
Grace dropped off the personal flowers on the day of the wedding, and even helped to pin on the groomsmen flowers. I was blown away when I got the venue and saw everything - and it was so nice that I did not have to worry about any of it!
Grace also helped sub-contract out a lounge set-up for photos at the reception, which also looked amazing!

Grace from Vale of Enna is simply the most brilliant florist in Chicago. I loved everything she did for our wedding (bouquets, centerpieces, decor, etc).. i met with her twice to discuss flowers - she picked up immediately on flowers / colors / themes I liked vs disliked. I even left 1/2 of the centerpieces completely to her discretion and she delivered flawlessly.

Having contacted at least a dozen florists in Chicago, Grace is by far the best (in terms of quality of work) and best value. She is such a pleasant person to work with and if I ever needed flower arrangements, she would be the first person I turn to. I HIGHLY recommend her to all the brides out there - she will make your wedding so beautiful!!!

I really loved some of the work that Grace did for some weddings that I was able to view through facebook. When I researched her for reviews, I was half half on whether or not I should contact her because I heard she was not a very quick responder to emails and there were lots of issues with communication. I ended up giving her a try anyways due to my love for her work.

I emailed her. No reply. I was worried that the reviews were right. I gave her a second chance. Two weeks later, I emailed her again and she responded six hours later. Grace said she never received my first initial email. So maybe there is a bug in her email system through her webiste? I'm not sure but from then on, our communication was very smooth. She is much better with the phone than email.

We were able to set up a consultation at a Starbucks of her choice which didn't bother me since I knew she did not have an official office. This is why she can give me such a good deal right...because there are no overhead charges. Meeting at Starbucks was like meeting at her office, the same you would do for any other florist. The only unprofessional aspect of the meeting was that she brought her two adorable kids to the meeting after running fifteen minutes late due to her husband not being able to return from work in time. This was okay since I love kids and I could understand that she is a working mom. The kids soon left after her husband arrived.

We were able to discuss the look and feel I was going for and Grace was able to give me all her insights on how to achieve this feel. She never pressured me into using more expensive flowers and she even told me which flowers would be the most durable and look the best for my wedding season. When I received my quote from her, she told me that I could look through the proposal and take things out or change things around and it would never bother her. I must have changed the proposal three times within the two days to see how my prices would change if I did something different. Her prices were amazing compared to the local florists and other vendors I have contacted. She was able to give me a quote that allowed me to use all mini calla lillies and orchids as I had wanted. I had also wanted to do my centerpieces all by myself but after she gave me her quote for them, they ended up costing the same! My fiance insisted that since it was the same, I should go with the florist. I was only hesitant because if I made the centerpieces by myself, I can resell the items. Grace even offered to give me tips on how to make it myself I wanted to! I am glad I didn't do the centerpieces myself! It's so much work and stress for the day before the wedding.

After signing a contract with Grace, she allowed me to contact her whenever I wanted to change the flowers if I needed to. One month before the wedding, Grace came back into contact with me to make sure if I wanted any changes. She made sure that I was absolutely satisfied with everything on the contract.

On the day of the wedding, all my flowers were set up and arranged exactly as planned! All deliveries were made to the correct places and on time. The only thing that was late that I know of were my hair flowers because Grace had forgot them back at home but it was delivered to me as soon as possible. The set up and tear down was efficiently done and I didn't even see the crew do it! On the day of the wedding, I had a memorial table set up for my dad and Grace even put some flowers on that table when I completely forgot to ask her to add some there. Nice judgment call from her :) Grace even tried her best to order me yellow orchids that didn't have those red speckled dots on them that I hated! Good job Grace :)

Grace was great to work with. She showed us many options and helped us pick out something beautiful that we wanted. She worked very diligently leading up to the wedding day to make sure everything was perfect. She cares deeply for her clients and has a lot of integrity. We highly recommend her!

I cannot say how much I loved my flowers! Grace was a ton of fun to work with. My complaint with other florist was that I'd walk in there and they'd want me to tell them what to do--how was I supposed to know? I don't know anything about flowers! Grace, however asked first off what our budget was, what look/feel/theme we were going for, showed us some pictures of other arrangements to get our feedback on what we liked and didn't like, and then came up with suggestions!

She came out to the venue to make sure what she was thinking for the buffet tables would work. When she was there we decided it would't, so we revamped our plan. She was flexible and easy to talk to.

The day of, the flowers went beyond my expecations. They were absolutely gorgeous! She was there on time and got the flowers were they needed to be. She really was a blast to work with!

Vale of Enna was above and beyond my expectations for the floral design at our wedding. Grace is absolutely amazing and was able to work with our budget, vision, style, and colors...As a designer myself, I am very picky and specific when it comes to visual components of my wedding, especially when it came to the flowers. When we saw the work that she had completed for our wedding, we were completely blown away...I would highly recommend her to anybody and everybody who is in need of a fabulous, professional florist!

The most beautiful flowers

Grace is extremely knowledgeable and does a great job listening to you in order to bring your overall vision to life. I know nothing about flowers but was able to sit back and relax because Grace had it covered. She worked with my budget and the flowers turned out even more beautiful than I could have imagined.

Awesome Wedding Florist

We had a fabulous experience working with Grace and Vale of Enna for our July downtown Chicago wedding. She beautifully brought our vision to life and was a joy to work with through every step of the process. Starting with our initial call we knew we were in great hands with Grace, and her proposal was easily the most creative, thoughtful, and detailed that we received. The flowers (+ candles, lanterns, vases, and other beautiful things) turned out even better than we hoped and look amazing in our photos. Her team was so professional and took care of everything. I would recommend Vale of Enna to any couple.

Grace from Vale of Enna is so great! I am not the best at articulating what I want because I am not very familiar with names of flowers. Grace knew exactly what I was asking for. The flowers were stunning and they placed the candles for the ceremony and reception so elegantly. I might be biased, but my bouquet was everything in more than I had envisioned. Everything I asked for turned out even more beautiful than I envisioned. Grace was very responsive, professional, and cool. I highly recommend going to her studio space to see all of the decorations she has to offer. I loved my experience working with Grace and would highly recommend Vale of Enna.

Grace from Vale of Enna is lovely to work with in creating your floral arrangements for your wedding day. She was recommended to us by our wedding planner (Charlene of Sweetchic Events), and was very easy to work with in creating floral arrangements both for our wedding reception as well as the rehearsal dinner. I was a little worried about choosing floral arrangements since we had a limited floral budget and I know nothing about flowers. Grace made the process easy. After giving her our color scheme, our budget guidelines, and some online photos of arrangements I found appealing, she was able to put together floral arrangements that far exceeded my expectations. I was amazed that she was able to create arrangements that were within our limited budget but looked unique, lush, and so lovely.

The flowers were one of the best parts of the wedding. Absolutely beautiful. Grace was a huge, huge help and made any and every change I requested. The flowers were exactly what I had imagined and she did it on a budget--her price quote was thousands less than other vendors we talked to. Everyone has said the flowers were spectacular--in fact, a few of our guests were desperate to take the centerpieces home. I really couldn't have been happier!

Grace did such a great job on all our wedding flowers. We truly loved our wedding flowers and decor. Everything was so beautiful and perfect that when we walked into our reception we were speechless. All night long everyone was raving about how beautiful all the flowers were. She made our vision come true and I couldn't be any happier. She is truly talented and I would highly recommend her anyone .

I recently used Grace for my Spring 2010 wedding and was totally blown away! My florals were beyond anything that I could have imagined. The centerpieces were so unique and beautiful. And my boquets were stunning. Friends and family continue to talk about how beautiful my flowers are - and I must admit that I am a picky bride! Grace was also very budget friendly and worked around the parameters that I provided her. It looked like I spent double than I really did!

Grace would listen to what I wanted and come back with a recommendation. I think wedding flowers, if not done right, can date a wedding. I feel that Grace's style mimicked my vision for a clean, modern wedding with romantic accents. Her talent was unlike any florists that I have worked with before. She truly blew me away on the day of my wedding and I will have beautiful photos with her flowers for years to come!

Grace was a pleasure to work with and the consummate professional. She listened to my ideas and put her special touch on the flowers to create a beautiful and cohesive look. She was also very flexible with the price and came up with great ideas to reduce the costs. Everyone raved about the flowers at my wedding, including the other wedding vendors. She really exceeded my expectations, and I could not have picked a better florist. She comes highly recommended.

Our flowers were breathtakingly beautiful. Much more beautiful than anything I could have imagined or hoped for. Grace is so great to work with. She is a genuinely nice person, and I felt good about giving her our business. She was patient with me when I made changes and struggled to determine the last few items. There was a period of time during which she did not respond to emails and did not send a revised proposal for several days past when she said she would. That being said, Grace was dependable when it came down to it and the flowers were just as lovely as could be, and reasonably priced. I whole-heartedly recommend Vale of Enna!

It was a pleasure to work with Grace at Vale of Enna. She was very receptive and open-minded, and came up with fantastic ideas that she then executed flawlessly. Grace was also great about accommodating last-minute changes, and provided helpful suggestions for substitutions when I was worried about heat affecting some of the planned flowers in the bridesmaids' bouquets.

My bouquet turned out just as I wanted it to look, and the bridesmaids and mothers were also thrilled with their flowers. Grace's altar arrangements were spectacular. We received so many compliments on them and they were the perfect way to brighten up an otherwise bare church stage. We later transported them to the reception venue, and they looked beautiful there too. I can't say enough positive things about Grace's work!

Grace did an absolutely fantastic job for my wedding. When we first met, I didn't really have a concrete idea of what I wanted and had pages of inspiration pictures. Grace looked at the photos I had brought of the venue and we worked together to determine what would be most aesthetically pleasing. My husband and I, along with all the guests and even our DOC, were completely blown away by the final results. Bouquets, bouts, altar pieces, and table centerpieces were all incredibly full, and lush, and perfect! All of the flowers looked fresh and in perfect condition. My own bouquet which consisted of mainly white flowers was still in excellent condition when we left for our honeymoon a few days later. I cannot reccommend Grace/Vale of Enna enough. She was absolutely fantastic and definitely helped set the scene for a wonderful wedding!

Grace was a fantastic find who helped me stretch my decor budget to truly make an impact. I am not one of those people who was going to spend thousands of dollars on flowers, I mean come on, they die, but I did want them to be beautiful and Grace accomplished that for me. She listened to what I wanted and turned my vision into a reality, she even upped the size of my low centerpieces at no additional charge when she felt they were too small for the table! The bouquets were gorgeous and the colors were spot on to what I wanted. Tons of compliments and talks of copying our beautiful centerpieces by many guests.

I am so lucky to have booked Grace from Vale Of Enna for my wedding flowers! Her centerpieces were gorgeous and her prices were below that I received from other florists. I wanted something a bit different and she made the prettiest submerged and branch centerpieces I could have imagined. I received many compliments after the wedding about my flowers. Best of all, though, she was great to work with. It may take her a while to get your estimate to you, but do not let that deter you, because once booked she's so flexible and easy to work with. When my wedding was going over budget, she had no problem in letting me provide silk petals for the aisle runner instead of the fresh ones I had originally requested and she provided me with complimetary fresh petals for my picture table at the last minute! Also, I used her services to build a fabric mandap/chuppah with strings of orchids and her creation was stunning. She incorporated beautiful lighting effects and understood my style so well that everything looked absolutely perfect for me. Also, she was available late in the evenings, which made meeting with her even more stress-free!

Vale of Enna does a great job catering to the bride's wants in terms of flowers. I was very happy with the flowers for my wedding. By looking at their website portfolio, I knew that my flowers would look beautiful. Vale of Enna was very thorough, professional, and experienced-I didn't have to worry about a thing! Most of the compliments from my wedding were about the flowers-my guests loved them!

Grace from Vale of Ennas was a pleasure to work with. Her flowers were not homemade at all, and looked as though it was from a lavish floral boutique. I absolutely loved my bouquet, and I never actually met with her in person. At times it was hard getting a hold of her through email, but this could have been due to her recent house move. All off the floral arrangements were made over the phone, and she was extremely flexible the day of the wedding. The guys looked great in their boutonnieres, and she even gave me enough extra flowers from my cake to go in my hair too. I wish her the best!

We used Grace's services for our wedding and were incredibly pleased with the quality of her work, for both floral and the paebaek (a Korean wedding ceremony) rental.

For the flowers, she worked with us to understand our desired look, which was clean and simple, but with elements of casual elegance. There were many emails back and forth to work out the details, but she was very patient with us throughout the whole process and respectful of our budget and goals. There were times when she was a little delayed in responding, but to be fair, she works directly on every project and seems to take very good care of each of her clients. In the end, she delivered beautiful arrangements that we got tons of compliments on from all of our friends. She decorated both the church and reception venues, which were both grand-looking rooms; her flowers enhanced the settings without taking anything away.

We decided to rent the paebaek ceremony from Grace, as well, because we trusted her...and it was nice to combine some vendors. :) All the elements were good quality - our hanboks were beautiful, and she even mentioned that the groom's shoes were just recently bought in Korea, so we know she manages a nice upkeep of the pieces. She included a program for our guests, which explained the ceremony, and she also acted as the emcee. As a Korean bride marrying a Greek groom, with many non-Korean guests at the wedding, this ceremony was particularly well-received by everyone...thanks, in large part, to Grace!

The flowers were beautiful, but a little pricey. Well, you get what you pay for! The setup was absolutely amazing and the flowers were fresh and gorgeous. They really complemented the wedding and I received many comments from the guests about how beautiful the flower arrangements were! Also, the florist was very kind and experienced. I would recommend this to everyone who is willing to pay a little more, but have PERFECT flower arrangements!

When she delievered the bouquets, I was seriously in awe - I had some high expectations, but they were so much more beautiful than I even imagined. She's got great taste and was able to make some judgement calls at the last minute that fit my style perfectly! Highly recommend!

I ordered my wedding personal flowers through Grace as well as some bulk of roses at whole sale prices. The bouquets and bouts were BEAUTIFUL- I couldn't ask for anything better! Sometimes, she may take a few days to respond to you (probably because she's in high demand), but she's never ignored/forgotten anything I commented/asked. She considered all things I asked for and executed so beautifully. I highly recommend Vale of Enna as a florist choice.

Grace did an amazing job! I am still receiving compliments about how beautiful the flowers were at the wedding. The pastor even made a comment about how the church was decorated with gorgeous floral arrangements! Grace truly was a pleasure to work with, and was always open to suggestions, complaints, likes and dislikes. Her contract spells out exactly what you are looking to achieve, and then she fulfills as promised! I was able to show her pictures of my vision, and she had no problem re-creating what I was hoping to achieve. She is at times slow to respond to emails, but always returns phone calls in a prompt and timely fashion. She accommodated several last minute requests. She is very professional and I would highly recommend her to brides looking for specific floral requests at an extremely reasonable price.

When I think about all the wedding details, the first thing that comes to mind is how perfect the flowers were. In the morning, Grace dropped off the most beautiful bouquets for me and my bridesmaids. They were so much better than what I had shown her through pictures and via my descriptions. Everyone raved. It only got better when I arrived at the ceremony site. She set up this gorgeous arch full of high quality flowers. The long and low table arrangement was also stunning. Grace said she had extra flowers that ended up not being used, so she left all of those for us to decorate with. Everyone, including myself, loved the flowers. I was a little hesitant since she does not have a storefront with sample flower arrangements to choose from. Also, she does not respond the quickest to email. But she always responds. It just seemed to take a few days sometimes (especially around weekends) probably because she is so busy with weddings. Regardless, everything turned out way better than I expected. She does not use any cheap, filler flowers. My arrangements were all roses, peonies, calla lilies, and orchids. If I had gone with another florist charging at the same price point, I know that i would have gotten sparse arrangements with carnations.

By far, having Grace at Vale of Enna provide the flower arrangements for my wedding was one of the best vendor decisions I made. Her work is stunning.
