    So easy to work with and beautiful flowers!

    Lynn at Pollen was absolutely great to work with! She did a great job helping to craft a vision for my wedding day and always offered great suggestions while keeping my budget in mind. The flowers turned out beautiful!

    Just the best!

    We had an amazing experience working with Lynn and her team at Pollen for our wedding in February! I didn't have much in the way of a "vision" for our day (no colors or theme) but this wasn't a problem for Lynn at all. We were able look at examples and talk about general direction, and some of the different flowers and color palettes that I was drawn to. From there, Lynn did an amazing job pulling together something perfectly vibrant, romantic, and unique. My bouquet (pictured here) was just gorgeous. Pollen's work made our whole venue warm and colorful on cold Chicago day and I'd work with them again any day!

    The absolute best

    Pollen was EASILY my favorite out of all the different companies I worked with for my wedding. They create beautiful florals, and Lynn, the owner, is just the most amazing, laid-back, friendly person to work with during a stressful time!

    I did a lot of comparison shopping for almost every aspect of my wedding. But from the first time I met with Lynn, I had an almost instant good feeling about it all. She's so welcoming, and her slideshow of examples mixed with looking at my Pinterest board on a big screen totally put me at ease and made me feel like she could capture what I was imagining! When her prices ended up being some of the best around, it was a win-win.

    Day-of, the flowers were stunning. I received so many compliments and if I could go back and do the day over again, I'd mostly just want to admire all the flowers 10x more. Choosing Pollen for my wedding flowers was definitely the best decision I made throughout all of wedding planning.

    Amazing Floral Design

    Lynn and her team at Pollen were fantastic! We booked Pollen for our wedding day and boy did they deliver! I had a difficult time expressing my vision to Lynn during our consultations, but she somehow took my vague comments and turned them into exactly what I had imagined. We have received so many compliments on our flowers and they looked amazing in pictures. We truly think Lynn’s floral design elevated the feel of our venue to create a level of elegance that would not have been achieved without her and her team’s hard work. We cannot recommend Pollen enough for wedding floral design!

    When planning my wedding, the flowers is the one area that I ended up splurging, and I am SO happy that I did. When researching possibilities, I knew I wanted to incorporate in season flowers and find a florist that reused/ repurposed the flowers after the wedding day. I found Lynn at Pollen, and she was able to guide me through the whole process with ease. At our first meeting, she showed me flowers that would most likely be blooming around my June wedding date. I showed her some of my ideas from my Pintrest board, and she was able to capture my vision perfectly. Even when I had a change of heart a few months before on the color palette, Lynn was able to quickly make adjustments to meet my needs. The bridesmaids bouquets turned out to be absolutely breathtaking along with the centerpieces, candles, succulents, greenery, and grass (yes, grass!) place card table. Lynn was able to incorporate the eclectic yet modern look I was going for, and her flowers completely transformed the venue. Thank you so much for everything! The flowers along with the accessories looked so stunning!

    Lynn at Pollen Floral Design was a joy to work with as the florist for our wedding in November 2017. From the very first meeting, she put us at ease and helped us make decisions about the overall vibe and feeling of our wedding design. Her team's beautiful touch was evident throughout the whole wedding: our bridal party bouquets, the arch that we got married under (complete with stunning foliage), delicate succulents on cocktail tables...she even custom-made a photo booth backdrop constructed of greenery! Thanks for your creativity, kindness, and hard work, Pollen!

    You put a lot of somewhat blind trust into florists for an occasion such as a wedding, so choosing the right place for your is very important. We found that our experience with Lynn was as worry-free as you could realistically expect. The time that we spent with her at her storefront was fun and very efficient. Lynn is very approachable and genuine, and does not come off as someone just looking for a way to make a quick buck. She was extremely open to finding styles and ideas that fit our unique perspective on floral arrangements and decorations for our ceremony and reception. We have received countless compliments on her contributions since our wedding day. Several people were just blown away by the beauty of her arrangements that we obviously not just your regular old ideas. We highly recommend Lynn to anyone looking for a reliable, open-minded, and respectful florist in the Chicago area that also has a social and environmental concscience.

    Lynn's work is exceptional. She created the most beautiful bouquets and arrangements for our July 2017 wedding. One of my bridesmaids loved her bouquet so much that she took it home with her across country to California, just to show her daughters. The day of the wedding, Lynn's set up was punctual and seamless. I would urge any bride to work with Lynn and her team at Pollen!

    Pollen provided the flowers for our rehearsal dinner and wedding and there is NOT ONE THING that I would change about our entire experience! My mom is a former florist so I let her coordinate everything with Lynn (remotely, as she’s located in Boston) and the only input we provided was during the initial sit down meeting where we reviewed a ton of pictures and we discussed which images we loved, liked, disliked…. She had requested that we pin some images we liked, prior to this sit down and I had unknowingly selected some of her designs! She really understood our vision, just through that initial meeting.

    Our ‘vision’ was an eclectic mix of soft hues, shapes and sizes. We likened it to a wild garden tea party and she completely nailed it! We had vases of different shapes, sizes and finishes, and all of the arrangements, while each being completely different, complemented each other perfectly. I’ve actually never attended a wedding where I heard everyone discussing the flowers so much! Our guests (and we) were just blown away by the beauty of everything! Everyone at Pollen is super friendly, knowledgeable and just wonderful. The flowers might’ve been my favorite part of the wedding, they were so perfect! We wouldn’t change anything and can’t recommend Pollen highly enough!!

    Lynn and her team at Pollen were absolutely incredible. After booking our venue (a very industrial space), I realized I was going to want more flowers than I expected to add a softer, feminine feel to the day. We met with Lynn and she totally understood not only what I was going for but had a lot of different ideas to get us there. I am not well-versed in flowers or floral anything, so I really let Lynn take over and I was not disappointed. She had great ideas for colors, what would be in season, and how to make my abstract ideas something tangible. Although Lynn couldn't be at our wedding, her team did a phenomenal job setting up the space, turning the room after the ceremony, and then taking everything down. And, the best part is, they donate all the flowers afterwards to nursing homes, so you know that your wedding helped to brighten other people's lives as well as your own. Thank you Pollen!!!

    If you are seeking a wedding florist - look no further than Lynn at Pollen! Lynn immediately understood my vision (with out me having any visuals to share with her) and executed it perfectly and beautifully! Lynn is professional, accessible, and was a pleasure to work with. Not only was I, the bride blown away by the bouquets, swag, boutineres, and floral arrangements, but everyone who attended our special day. Cheers to Lynn for making our NYE wedding even more memorable!

    Lynn and her team at Pollen were everything I hoped for in a wedding florist. My husband and I did not have a strong vision for how we wanted our flowers to look and Lynn was very patient with us as she helped us articulate what we might like. Over the course of two very pleasant in-person meetings at her awesome workshop she got a sense of what we wanted and ran with it. She did a great job with the creative freedom we gave her and our flowers turned out better than I could have imagined. I loved my bouquet so much I was still carrying it around the next day! And the floral centerpieces, complete with vintage glass vases, were gorgeous and perfect for our style.

    We really appreciated Lynn's focus on sustainability and local sourcing, and she was always very responsive and easy to work with. Deliver on the day of went smoothly, including setup and breakdown of our lovely ceremony arch. We're happy to recommend Lynn to anyone looking for a well-priced, talented, conscientious florist.

    I highly recommend booking Pollen for your wedding (or other floral needs)! We reached out to Pollen because we had heard they mastered the free-flowing, bohemian chic, garden look we were going for. From our first meeting with Lynn it was clear she understood our vision and that she would be a pleasure to work with. I also loved that Pollen is eco-friendly and donates leftover flowers to nursing homes. Lynn patiently sat through my showing a million Pinterest photos of things I liked, and helped us narrow down the options to the most feasible and affordable options. She was very accommodating meeting us both times after work on weekdays and promptly replying to our many emails. On the day of the wedding, we were able to get the bouquets and boutonnieres delivered separately for photos, and when we arrived at the wedding venue Lynn and her team were already hard at work creating their masterpiece. I had very detailed expectations and everything turned out even better than I could have imagined. I was especially awe-struck by the bouquets, but truly everything was perfect: ceremony backdrop, seating card table décor, centerpieces, head table garland, cake flowers, hair flowers, candles, and whatever else I’m forgetting. See photos of Pollen’s work at our wedding here: http://www.laura-fisher-photography.com/blog/heather-paul.

    If you like the photos, I’d also recommend all my other wedding vendors: Laura Fisher Photography, Toast & Jam (DJ), Galleria Marchetti (venue and food), Steracle Press (all printed materials), Arch Apothecary (hair & makeup), and Bittersweet (cake).

    There are few words that would accurately describe the exceptional service and gorgeous finished product delivered by Lynn and her team at Pollen. From the very first e-mail through the final drop-off, we experienced nothing but professionalism and top notch work. After I showed up to our first meeting with some not very detailed ideas of what I was looking for- Lynn helped me craft a vision and executed it perfectly. Of all the little pieces and details that go into a wedding, the flowers were our absolute favorite- from the bouquets and boutonnieres, to a special memorial for my husband's father, to the stunning centerpieces, each piece was exquisite from start to finish. Not only was the finished product beautiful, but the exceptional service and smooth process were all available for a price point that was unbelievably affordable. We will recommend Lynn and her team to everyone we can, they create a phenomenal experience and product from start to finish!

    Pollen was a recommendation from our wedding coordinator so Lynn was added to our list when exploring florists in Chicago. Then, after having a few conversations (via email and phone), I knew that Pollen was the top choice for us. We got married at Salvage One so we wanted to keep that vintage, eclectic look throughout all of our décor so I wanted to use a mix/match of containers for the centerpieces to accompany the succulents. Lynn has an amazing collection of containers that we were able to use along with metallic votive candles that added that beautiful, soft glow to the space.
    Our final selection was peonies and succulent for the bouquets and succulents for the boutonnieres. And then Lynn did amazing job of creating unique centerpieces for every table (20 in total) at our reception. We loved that each table had its own special look and yet as a whole, the space looked in unison. We were very pleased with the quality of the flowers and the workmanship. Lynn is a try artist, thank you!

    Lynn was so fantastic to work with! She was prompt with communication and great at customizing a look just for us. I had very few ideas of what I wanted for my wedding flowers, but Lynn was great at guiding us to find the perfect look for our big day. She was very patient and thoughtful at our in-person meetings, and she had great insight when we contacted her with decoration questions throughout the planning process. Lynn’s work the day of was absolutely beautiful! We received so many comments, even in the weeks after the wedding, about how wonderful the flowers were!

    Lynn for the win!! Oh my goodness, we loved working with Lynn so much! She really took the time to understand our vision, and as a result, our flowers and decor turned out absolutely perfect! From our bouquets to the boutonnieres, every single personal was incredible, and honestly, they were better than we even imagined. Instead of floral centerpieces, we asked Lynn to just deck out our tables with a runner of candles and greens. She absolutely nailed it! To completely sum up how awesome Lynn is to work with, throughout the whole process, she kept saying, “I just don’t want any bad surprises on your wedding day.” She truly wanted us to be happy, and we can’t thank her enough!

    I absolutely loved working with Lynn at Pollen for my wedding, and the floral arrangements she created were amazing!! She really took the time to listen to me and understand exactly what I was looking for and she had obviously gone through my Pinterests board before all of our meetings. She wasn't pushy and she was very respectful of my budget. She handled my random requests in stride, brought in an extra assistant to help with some of my non-floral decor and even made me an extra boutonniere for a grandfather who was able to come on a couple of days notice. Working with her was an absolute dream and most importantly ever single arrangement she delivered was absolutely GORGEOUS and exactly what I was envisioning -- I was completely blown away, both when I first saw my bouquets, when I saw the church, and when I walked into the reception -- everything was perfect. I would highly recommend Pollen to anyone!!

    There were so many amazing parts to the day, but Lynn's work was absolutely one of the backbones of a breathtaking evening. Not only was she a pleasure to work with throughout the process, working with us to create a vision that was within our budget and beyond our expectations, but her creativity and professionalism set a gorgeous scene. She truly listened to what we wanted and made it come true instead of forcing anything on us.

    Lynn is one of the sweetest people I've worked with, but she also gets the job done. Even my mother (rarely impressed and not a huge fan of weddings in the first place) commented on the wonderful flowers.

    Lynn was such a pleasure to work with! She created such a beautiful look for our wedding day. I do not know much about flowers and she was able to create exactly what I wanted based off a few simple ideas I had. She stayed to make sure every detail of our night was taken care of and her crew even cleaned up at the end of the night so we didn't have to worry about a thing on our special day. I couldn't have asked for a better florist, I would definitely use Lynn for my flower needs again in the future.

    We clicked with Lynn at Pollen immediately, she understood exactly the vibe we were going for and executed it perfectly. Of all the floral vendors we met with, she was the only one who pulled up my pinterest and showed me examples of what she could do. Our flowers were absolutely beautiful and perfect, I received so many compliments on her designs!

    I cannot say enough about Lynn from Pollen. Lynn was the ONLY floral vendor who took me on having a somewhat short engagement-only 5 months. She was easy to schedule a consultation with- just click on the link to her google calendar and select a time and you're set! We met and discussed my likes, dislikes, and reviewed my pinterest page. She drew up a very clear and fair estimate for me and we were off and running. I gave Lynn very little guidance on flower selection or color - she is the professional after all, not me. When i came home from hair and makeup on my wedding day and saw the flowers waiting there for me... I was speechless. They were so incredibly beautiful that it took my breath away. I couldn't have ever envisioned something so beautiful- dusty lavender roses, butter yellows, peaches, pale pinks and pops of burgundy with green leafy ferns all wrapped up in a navy blue satin ribbon. I got so many compliments from my friends and family about the flowers. Lynn found the perfect glass containers to compliment the theme of my wedding. The colors and textures and varying sizes of the floral arrangements really brought life and color to my tables. Lynn was flexible in offering me a very fair price to purchase the containers instead of renting them from her so that we can re-use them at our second reception in two weeks. Thank you Lynn for making my day so special!!

    Lynn is an absolute gem-- she's an awesome florist AND she's awesome to work with! We're totally kindred spirits when it comes to using locally grown, in-season blooms and she grasped my "prairie" theme right away. Even though my vision (and my color scheme) changed along the way, she was patient an responsive and perfectly captured the essence of our "vintage-garden" wedding. The bouquets and boutonnieres were gorgeous and complemented our muted palette even better than I imagined. We got so many compliments on our one-of-a-kind blooms... I can't wait for the photographic proof! Whether you're in the market for an eco-friendly florist who is committed to sustainable practices, or you dig a garden-y vibe, save yourself a lot of trouble and just contact Lynn-- you will NOT be disappointed!

    Lynn was great to work with! From the first meeting to the day of the wedding, everything went super smooth. The flowers were exactly what we wanted, we gave her an initial idea and she was able to capture everything we talked about. She delivered our bouquets to a separate location (on-time) and when my mom's corsage was damaged, Lynn had a replacement waiting for her at our venue. The price was very reasonable and quality was top notch.
