Dana Sent on 11/03/2024Nichole & her team are AMAZING!!
We recently had the pleasure of working with Nichole for our September 2024, Chicago, IL wedding! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, professional, and FUN.
Nichole's knowledge of the wedding/floral industry was evident in every aspect. She provided invaluable and creative advice that truly reflected our vision. Her attention to detail ensured that no aspect was overlooked, making the planning process stress-free and BEAUTIFUL. She also worked with us to stay in budget and provided cost effective solutions to still bring our vision to life.
Would HIGHLY recommend XO Design Co.!! -

Nainee Sent on 07/31/2024Xo Design Co. is amazing beyond words!
Nichole, from Xo Design Co., made our vision come to life! There are so many moving parts when planning a South Asian wedding, but one thing we did not need to worry about was florals and decor because of Nichole. From our Sangeet & Garba to our wedding mandap & reception, Nichole created a breathtakingly beautiful ambiance of everything we wanted and more.
Nichole was open to all communication/meetings to organize and make sure everything was executed perfectly. She even helped us with a custom seating chart display!
Our wedding would not have been the same without Nichole and Xo Design Co. If you are in search for a fun, creative, and visionary florist, LOOK NO FURTHER!
Nichole is THE best! -

Nichole was amazing to work with! I found her through Instagram and fell in love with her floral design. I reached out to her and shared some pictures of flowers and colors that I liked, but had absolutely no idea what I wanted. I told her that I didn't want my wedding to look like everyone else's and I wanted something unique - she came back to me with the most beautiful design concept, which was even better in person. I've never seen florals look like mine, and they brought my venue to life in the most stunning way. I would highly recommend using Nichole! -

I cannot express enough how wonderful Nichole is! Her talent is truly exceptional, and she brings a level of genuineness and professionalism that is unmatched. Nichole not only brought our vision to life but made it so uniquely original that our wedding felt unlike any other. When you choose XO Design, you're not just paying for florals; you're investing in Nichole's professional services and her remarkable eye for detail. Choosing XO Design to design our wedding was one of the best decisions we made--we have no regrets! -

I literally cried when I saw my bouquet. I knew the moment we had our consultation with Nichole that she was who I wanted to do my flowers for our wedding. Everything was absolutely amazing and exactly how I envisioned.
She also repurposed flowers and did flowers for our welcome party too which looked great. She and her team drove out to the Chicago suburbs two days in a row which we so appreciated. Definitely go with Xo!! -

Alyssa Sent on 07/31/2023Nichole and her team wield flowers like wands to make magic.
I discovered Nichole and her team through our wedding planner who thought we'd be a perfect match and she was spot on! I adored working with Nichole. Her ability to conceptualize ideas and turn them into art with flowers is unparalleled. Nichole made coordinating on the design a breeze and brought so many ideas to the table to enhance our vision. On the day of, her team was incredible and made sure everything was executed flawlessly.
If you want a florist and event designer in one, Nichole is your woman. I avoided having to work with three other vendors to source certain design elements because Nichole focuses on offering a complete design experience in conjunction with the flowers. I am so glad I worked with her and would hire her again for any event in the area. -

Sara Sent on 01/20/2023XO Design Co.’s signature use of white space is exquisite, artful, and distinct, providing a dazzling sense of fluidity and movement
We had the pleasure of working with Nichole at XO Design Co. for our wedding and were simply blown away by the result. We envisioned something simple, romantic, and imaginative that would complement the ambiance of our venue and the spirit of our union - and boy did she deliver. With her keen attention to detail, she brought our vision to life in ways that we hadn't even imagined. Her signature use of white space is exquisite, artful, and distinct, providing a dazzling sense of fluidity and movement. Our guests can't stop raving about the floral decor. Nichole is deeply devoted to her craft, which is made clear throughout every stage of her process, from the initial consultation call to the execution. The enthusiasm and passion she puts into every aspect of her work are palpable. We respected her approach, perspective, and counsel. She recognizes and honors your investment and ensures that each element of her design plan has a purpose, or in her words (which resonated with us) that each piece has a "why". If you are looking for a florist for your special event, XO Design Co. should be your top choice. Hire Nichole and trust her process. -

Nicole Sent on 08/18/2022Absolutely Blown Away!
I am still in awe and absolutely blown away by the work Nichole and her team at Xo Design put together for our wedding! From the initial meeting I had with Nichole to discuss my fiancé and I's wedding, I knew we had to work with her- there was no doubt in my mind! She already had so many ideas come to life in our first meeting, and from Day 1, through our wedding day, and beyond she has been such a JOY to work with! She was there for me through all the questions I had (big or small), was a text/phone call away whenever I needed to ask her something, professional, joyful, incredibly talented, kindhearted- the list goes on!
There is one story that sticks out that speaks volumes about Nichole and the Xo team that I will never forget, it shows just how genuine they all are. On the instagram account for Xo, they had posted a photo and had said, "comment your favorite flower below". I wrote my favorite floral in the caption and posted it and on my wedding day the team showed up to deliver my bouquet and my bridesmaids, and in the bouquet were TULIPS! They said how they saw my comment on their instagram and wanted to incorporate my favorite flower in the bouquets- I mean COME ON! How special?! That to me will always be something I remember about Xo, they care SO MUCH and pay attention to every last detail-even when you don't think they are looking
Nichole and her team will without a doubt bring your floral and decor dreams to life! Absolute visionaries! Everyone at Xo Design went above and beyond in order to help bring my fiancé and I's wedding day to life. Nichole and her team will ALWAYS have a place in my heart- not only were they amazing to work with, but overall SUCH great people. They didn't make you feel like 'just a client', they made you feel like a FRIEND and to have that was so, so special. I cannot not speak highly enough of Nichole and the team at Xo. We were so fortunate to be able to work with Nichole and the team at Xo- thank you all again for what you did to make our day so memorable and special! -

Vanessa Sent on 07/30/2022The most amazing floral designer in Chicago!
Nichole and her team are astonishingly talented designers. They truly took our breath away with what they constructed for our wedding day and made our space into the exact vision that we had discussed throughout our planning with Nichole. We had a home wedding and from the very first time we met Nichole, she knew exactly what needed to be done to transform the space into this ethereal, romantic, floralscape that truly made our guests feel as if they were transported to a secret fairytale garden for our wedding. We are so thankful for everything Nichole and her team created for our big day and will definitely call on her in the future for any design needs we have in the future! -

Michaela Sent on 05/24/2022Incredible, supportive, DREAM TEAM
I met Nichole mid 2019 and to say it was meant to be...well it was meant to be. We clicked and bonded over our shared love for dried florals, similar aesthetics and all around good vibes. From that first meeting I knew I could trust her to use her floral and decor magic to create the wedding of my dreams. I specifically remember telling her, "I don't care what flowers you use, I trust you". After a whirlwind of postponements in 2020, Nichole was there and checked in every step of the way. She was the most accommodating, supportive and one of the biggest hype person we had backing us. I knew I needed her, no matter the number of changes we had to make to get to the wedding date. Her florals and decor were BEYOND BEAUTIFUL. My husband and I were in literal shock during our room reveal. It 1000% exceeded our expectations and whatever mock design we initially came up with. People always say the guests don't really care about the little details... well when done right they absolutely do, because the details and decor from our wedding are still talked about to this day!
Above and beyond is what you get with Nichole and her team. She is immensely talented, has such a creative eye and is just a good person who cares. I am so glad I met her and will always think of Xo Design anytime we look at photos from our wedding day. Xx -

K B Sent on 04/20/2022Made our special day even more special
Last minute, we planned a courthouse wedding (with a full celebration planned next year) and I reached out to Nichole to build a beautiful bouquet and boutonniere set for our intimate, secret elopement. Right away, she was responsive, friendly and SO creative. I'm not well versed in flowers and or color (normally I wear black on black on black) so I shared with Nichole our outfits and let her express her creative self! The end result was gorgeous and perfect for our day. Beyond the work, Nichole is so friendly and makes you feel like you're her only client - when I know she's one busy lady (how could she not be - she's TALENTED!). Thank you to the XO team for making our last minute special day extra special. -

Nichole was a dream to work with for our wedding. She was referred by a family friend and we instantly hit it off on our introductory phone call. Nichole is so friendly, accommodating, creative, detail oriented, and wants to bring your vision to life. We rescheduled our wedding due to Covid and Nichole was extremely accommodating in shifting dates and times with us up until the day of the wedding. She attended our walk through, was always responsive via text or email, and word endlessly with us to make our vision work with our budget. Her work is stunning and we were blown away with the gorgeous arrangements she put together on our day of. Without a doubt, hire Nichole, you will not regret it. -

I cannot say enough good things about XO Designs! Nichole was a dream to work with and she always responded immediately. She heard me out with my ideas and helped me figure out a plan and was super super flexible to changing requests and making everything fit within our budget. I was BLOWN AWAY by our flowers - i cried when I saw them! She was truly a pleasure to work with and it was such a fun process! Her passion is contagious and it's so clear in her work that she really loves and cares about what she does and providing the best possible experience for clients. Thank you so much Nichole!! -

Rocio Sent on 07/13/2020Phenomenal Experience with Nichole and her team at Xo Design Co.
This review is exactly 1 year late (7.13.2019), how embarrassing! Nichole and her team were beyond amazing helping us with decor, floral and day of coordination on our wedding day. Because of her and her team, the day was flawless and more than we ever expected! From the moment we first began working with Nichole, over a year before the wedding day, to the very day of and the follow up afterwards, the attention to detail, assistance with ideas, helping us create a vision and making the vision come to life was beyond spectacular. We felt confident from day one that we made the right choice in working with Nichole and her team and the final product confirmed that x1000. We were at ease leading up to the wedding day and on the day of I had no worries because she and her team were there every step of the way. Thank you, Nichole and Xo Design! You guys are phenomenal! We cannot recommend you enough! -

Kas D. Sent on 05/03/2020XO came through in the worst of times
My husband and I had hired Nichole and XO designs for our elegant wedding on 4/4/2020. Nichole and I had designed such a beautiful, extravagant design for our big day and I was beyond floored to see it come to fruition; Nichole’s vision was inspiring. However, COVID hit and three weeks before our big day we were forced to cancel our wedding. Our contract with XO stated we owed a non-refundable 50%, which I totally understood because it was written ahead of time and we signed knowing that statement. However, unlike other vendors, Nichole instantly asked what she could do for us so we could use that 50% we paid. We had several phone calls leading up to 4/4 and had to change our elopement plans so many times and didn’t finalize day of details until a few days before our elopement. Nichole was patient and kind through the whole experience and drove out to the suburbs to set up a gorgeous display at my in-laws house so that we would have a beautiful backdrop for our wedding day. I cannot thank her or recommend her enough for what she put together, especially so last minute. I also cannot stress that XO could’ve easily taken our 50% and walked away when our wedding got cancelled, but still went out of their way to deliver us beautiful florals and decor so that we received something for what we paid, NO OTHER VENDOR DID THIS FOR US. Truly so kind. -

Samantha Sent on 01/21/2020Perfection
Nichole and her team came highly recommend from a friend of mine and I can definitely see why! I knew I wanted more of a Bohemian theme at my wedding but had absolutely no idea where to start. Mind you, I am so clueless when it comes to flowers and I didn’t look at Pinterest once for ideas! But it was almost as if she was in my brain because everything I attempted to explain, she immediately fed off of it. What she suggested was exactly what I wanted and SO much more. The amount of compliments I received about my venue were countless and people were truly stunned by the atmosphere of my wedding. She was so organized, timely, professional, and most importantly was very mindful with my budget which my husband and I greatly appreciated. Nichole and her team helped us achieve the most dreamy and beautiful wedding and I would recommend her to any future bride looking for a great florist and designer! -

Tory Sent on 01/02/2020Perfect design & coordination!
I worked with Nichole and Alex for our wedding at the Bridgeport Art Center in October 2019. I originally was considering Xo for florist/design, but after meeting Nichole and falling in love with her and her vision I also acquired her day-of coordination services. Nichole's personable yet organized personality made her and her team a dream to work with throughout the wedding planning process. Everything her design team created for our wedding day was beautiful and executed seamlessly. Plus, her and Alex made sure the Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding went off without a hitch by getting the vendors organized in advance and being the sole points of contact for the entire day. I highly recommend working with Nichole at Xo! (Photos by Jasmine Nicole Photography) -

Lanie Sent on 11/18/2019XO Design was the best decision I made for our wedding!
Working with Nichole and her team at XO Design Co. was honestly the best decision I made when planning our wedding. When I initially met with Nichole, I was beyond impressed because she was able to build upon the very minimal ideas that I provided at the time (I am not a creative person) and that she was able to on to come up with an absolutely dreamy vision for our wedding on the spot during our first meeting. The only details I told her were the general color scheme and that I wanted "dark and moody" as the vibe... she took this information and created a truly stunning event for us. Throughout the process, Nichole and her team were extremely responsive and she treated me like a friend, which made me feel valued and comfortable as I worked with her. Nichole and her team put care and thought into every detail to make it perfect. I cannot emphasize enough how fortunate we were to have worked with XO Design Co.

Nichole was a dream to work with. She treated me as a friend, which I really appreciated. She was able to take my Pinterest board and bring it to life. Nichole not only designed our reception but created a gorgeous backdrop for our ceremony and was able to utilize flowers for both spaces. I appreciated how accommodating she was to fit our budget and help our day look absolutely gorgeous. -

Yasamin Sent on 08/31/2019The best of the best!
I'm not sure if there are words to describe how impressed I am with XO Design Co., but I'll do my best.
I used XO as both my floral/decor vendor and day-of coordinator for my wedding. They blew me away in both respects.
Florals:
I first met Nichole about a year and a half before my wedding. She agreed to meet me at a coffee shop near my home, and we went through my floral vision, etc. She sent me a summary of what we discussed, as well as a summary of costs. She was cheerful throughout the process, and even though my wedding was so far away, she made it a priority.
I changed my vision several times, and each time, Nichole was patient and walked through various ideas with me. We actually met a second time to revamp my decor.
The decor at my wedding exceeded all of my expectations. I told Nichole that I wanted to do muted blush with amber accents and lots of greenery, and she nailed it. She gave special attention to decorating the staircase at my venue, which I told her was the most important decor element to me! She even added leftover florals to my cake complimentary.
All of my guests were in awe of her attention to detail. She really captured my vision and understood it better than I did myself.
Planning:
Since I noticed that Nichole was so easy to work with for floral/decor, I decided to hire her as my day-of coordinator. That was one of the best decisions that I could have made. She spent so much time going over every little detail, including making sure that the uplighting in my venue didn't negatively affect my photos. She picked up lunches for my bridal party that I ordered before the wedding and an ice cream cake. Someone took the wrong lunch, and she and Ashley ran out and grabbed another one for him. At one point, someone stepped on my MOH's toe which started bleeding everywhere, and Ashley quickly handled the situation. My day was completely stress-free because they were so on top of everything. They packed up everything for me at the end of the night in such an organized fashion. I'm genuinely going to miss working with them!
So overall, the XO team is great. Their costs are reasonable, but most importantly, they are friendly, organized, and easy to work with. -

Nicole was instrumental in making our wedding go seamless. She made us feel so comfortable during the ceremony and reception.

Nichole and her team were absolutely amazing to work with! Nichole is an extremely skilled florist. From the first day when we sat down with her to go over what we wanted I knew that we were in good hands. From that point forward, her and her team made the whole process as easy as could be. Our flowers and decor were absolutely breathtaking! Words can not describe how thankful we are to find Nichole and her team. If you want a professional, skilled, creative florist that is willing to work with your ideas to give you the best floral arrangements and decor possible, Xo Design is it! -
