Wow - there aren't enough great things that I can say about Carla, Miriam, and the rest of the team at Elena's Garden. There was never a moment that I felt that Carla didn't have things under control before and during our big day. She and her team kept everybody on time and helped my wife and I with coordination and planning so that we had ZERO worries for our wedding. This isn't even mentioning the LOVELY attention to detail that Carla and her team put into floral decorations. We had a jaw-dropping backdrop, bouquets, and decorations for our big day. I can't get over how beautiful everything was. You honestly can't go wrong here - Elena's Garden was one of the best choices we made, and they will go the extra mile to make your wedding the best day of your life. -

Long overdue post for the best florist and wedding coordinator team! There isn’t enough things We can say about Carla and her team. If you are debating this company, choose them and you will not be disappointed. What you will experience is ease, relief, reassurance, support, attention to detail, great ideas for overall wedding design and flowers/decor, etc. Carla also has the hookup with many other vendors and friends in the industry as well. She will think of things that you haven’t and show you that all your bases are covered. She is always available by phone, email, text to go through any idea you have no matter how small you think it may be. She worked with us during the pandemic and postponing our wedding date 3x! She was a true Angel and I will miss her so much! It felt like she became a part of our family. Additionally, all of our bridal party, friends, parents raved about how thorough and accommodating (not to mention friendly and professional) on our wedding day. She is my #1 recommendation for all things wedding/event planning/coordinating and floral design! She will make any of your dreams or visions come to life in to time. Truly the dream team!! Thank you so much, we couldn’t have possibly done it without you.Elena's Garden's reply:

We booked Elena's Garden for our wedding in June of 2019 and it was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. We worked with Carla, and immediately from the very beginning we knew we were in great hands. Carla felt like an old friend, able to read what we wanted, but also assist in helping us be realistic with our floral picks. She was able to tell us "hey that color's not going to look like that in real life" or "you might want to go with this flower instead". We wanted to hang florals from our venue's sky light and had talked to several other florists who asked no questions and simply stated that they could do it! Or had way too many questions and made it seem like it would be impossible to carry out. Carla was able to work it out with us and talk us through how she and her team would accomplish it. At the walk-through at our venue, she was able to work with our other vendors and provide advice/tips not only on her part of the day but also with the other moving parts as well. Carla was constantly the professional, responsive in emails and always able to answer my questions and concerns. We received so many compliments on the hanging florals as well as my bouquet. Carla dis such a great job, and I always felt like we were in great hands (there was a two hour window for her to set-up, which seemed a little stressful for me, but she reassured me from the very beginning that she would be able to get it done). She transformed our space and I would have no reservations in recommending her to anyone. We are so happy with how everything turned out and Carla and Elena's Garden are to thank for taking our vision and executing it flawlessly!
Elena's Garden's reply:

Carla and team are talented beyond measure! I first called Carla after booking a destination venue without consulting her first and simply said " I did a thing & am hoping you'll come along for the ride". After learning where the heck I was trying to drag her, she said " we are in" and 10 months later, off to Emerald Lake Lodge in Banff, Canada we would go! I had more than a few wild ideas (including a backpack bouquet for hiking) and she never said something wasn't possible, but instead started taking my ideas and making them even more wonderful! Emerald Lake Lodge is a hidden gem in the Canadian Rockies and without and design or floral is already beautiful on its own, but what the Elena's Garden Team did was beyond my imagination! Guest were talking about how Carla didn't just deliver, but mastered the hygge feel I was going for. I am not even sure if anything went wrong the day of because Carla and her team handled it all without me ever noticing anything and allowing me to simple just be present and enjoy my special day. I recall shedding a tear or two during the ceremony, but when I first saw the room, I lost it ( I blame it on exhaustion haha) She found a way to include my adventure-esque touches mixed in with all the decadent brass candlesticks, lush greenery, eye striking pampas grass and made sure it was all dripping with rich blooms. Fairytales aren't just in the movies, Carla helped us create the perfect setting and day for our fairytale to come to life. Whether traveling to a mountain destination, or staying local to Chicago, do not look any further than Elena's Garden Floral and Design to make your dreams a reality! -

Beautiful flowers at great value
I loved working with Carla from Elena's Garden for my wedding flowers in September 2018. Communication was great. I ordered bouquets and boutonnieres for the bride, groom, and 20 people in the wedding party, as well as flowers for the parents of the bride and groom and flower girls. I was on a limited budget but Carla made it happen- my flowers were beautiful! Carla was able to incorporate a piece of my jewelry in my bouquet as well. Highly recommend! -

Joann Sent on 11/09/2017Carla from Elena’s Garden was an absolute blessing! She exceeded all my expectations from the first contact right on through my wedding day. Planning a wedding is stressful, but working with Carla was a breath of fresh air.
I submitted an inquiry through the website on a random Tuesday night at 9pm. Carla personally replied less than 30 minutes later! And that very night she took the time to understand my vision and dreams for my wedding. And as wedding details (colors, location, etc.) changed over the course of the next few months, Carla’s flexibility and advice were invaluable! Her replies were always prompt and helpful. She never tried to upsell me, and she was patient and gracious with my limited budget. She really took the time to listen to what I wanted and completely customized my flowers to match me! On the day of the wedding, she showed up early and went above and beyond to help me and the wedding party. She wasn’t there simply as a florist - it felt like she was part of the family.
The flowers were absolutely STUNNING! I had a cascading bouquet with purple and ivory orchids and roses. It exceeded all my expectations and was more gorgeous than I imagined! The entire wedding party loved their flowers, right on down to my flower girls. Carla made beautiful crowns for them that made them look truly angelic!
I took my bouquet with me on our honeymoon. I got so many complements on how beautiful my flowers were – even on day 7 after it had been dragged around in the hot sun!Elena's Garden's reply:
Joann, it was so nice to working with you, and knowing you were so happy with your flowers means EVERYTHING to us! Thank you for your touching words and for trusting us with your special day!
