Fragrant Design

We originally selected Fragrant Design because of their flexibility. We had our own vases that we wanted to use and they were able to accommodate our request. They were extremely responsive and flexible throughout our wedding planning. They even created a sample of our centerpiece a few months before our wedding so we could get a sense of what everything would look like. Our flowers were gorgeous and we received many compliments throughout the night. We would recommend Fragrant Design to anyone looking for a wedding florist.

Fragrant Design was my florist for our wedding in May. I had a few pictures with wheat grass and wild flowers that I showed them and they ran with it. Nadine was very creative and used billy balls as the boutonnieres and every one commented on how unique they were. I had a bridesmaid dress that was a hard to define color and Nadine worked to match the color for the bouquets and it worked awesome. The flowers were absolutely beautiful! Everything worked together so well. I received so many compliments on the flowers. Nadine was great to work with. She worked with me taking suggestions and giving them when asked. Nadine herself dropped off our bouquets and boutonnieres at the hotel. They did a great job and I would hire them all over again!

My sister and I both worked with Nadine at Fragrant Design for our weddings in November 2009 and September 2011. We couldn't be happier with how both events turned out. Nadine was great to work with and quickly understood and executed the looks we were both going for (even when given little information and last minute changes by me!). The bridesmaid, bridal bouquets, and centerpieces were absolutely beautiful and so different than anything else I have seen.

I also really appreciated Nadine's honesty and ability to work with our budget while still creating very lush and appropriate arrangements. I, like another review, put total trust into Nadine and it all turned out better than I could imagine. We worked with many vendors to put together our wedding (catering, cake, photography, etc) and by far Nadine was one of the easiest to work with. I would highly recommend working with her!

Fragrant Design is AWESOME! The owner, Nadine, works with you personally to provide quality service and exceeds expectations! The first day I visited her office, I was a little nervous because floral is not my area of expertise, but Nadine assured me that she could make my vision come to life which is exactly what she did. She actually did beyond that! I changed a few things throughout my planning process and she never made me feel like she was annoyed with me. She worked patiently with me and put out all my little fires! Thank you Nadine for ALL your hard work!

I highly recommend Fragrant Design!

If anyone is looking for flowers for their wedding, I HIGHLY recommend Fragrant Design. Nadine and her staff took our vision to a whole new level and far exceeded our expectations. They are so easy to work with and are extremely responsive and creative. Nadine brought so many great ideas to us and thought about every last detail. My bouquet, boutonnieres, centerpieces, everything was phenomenal! Over a month after our wedding, we continue to receive compliments about the flowers from guests. Everything they did was flawless and truly helped make our day the wedding of our dreams!

Nadine was great to work with - I selected her out of the 3-4 florists because she was the most willing to work within my specifications. Her flowers were so gorgeous on the day of the wedding and everything arrived in great shape. I was able to see some sample arrangements upon requests and she was able to make modifications to get the texture of the flowers that I wanted. I didn't show sample pictures until toward the end which I should have done earlier. Would recommend her to anyone.

I would highly recommend Nadine, my flowers were absolutely gorgeous! I was really nervous about the flowers from the beginning because you can't really see exactly what everything will look like until the actual wedding but Nadine sent me enough sample pictures to at least give me an idea. She also worked with what I had in mind by suggesting different flowers in different price ranges and coming up with new additions to compliment my colors and original requests. My centerpieces really were one of my favorite things about that day!

Nadine was great. I'm not much of a flower person and since our wedding was in December, I wanted the decor to look more festive than floral. Nadine came up with the idea to have three different center pieces (there were 20 tables) and it turned out really well. She put together vinery and branches dusted in gold with beautifully lit vases, wreaths with candles and pinecones in the center and gorgeous poinsettias that didn't look like "just another poinsettia". I received tons of compliments!! And the personal flowers were just as beautiful - and right on time.

Nadine was fantastic!
Our meeting with her went really well and she was so helpful. My husband and I know nothing about flowers, so she was extremely helpful in matching my non traditional dress with a more traditional flower. Also, the day of the wedding it was POURING rain and every one was running behind yet the flowers were right on time.
I recommend Fragrant Design for every bride.

The flowers were more beautiful that I ever could have imagined. We loved working with Nadine, she is very easy to get along with. She is an artist with floral design. I would highly, highly recommend Fragrant Design.

Nadine was great to work with and got all my specifications mostly right. However, the flowers were half an hour late to the hotel, which completely threw off our photography schedule and led to no pictures of my husband and his family being taken before the ceremony because the photographer had to wait for the flowers.

The flowers were beautiful and the price was pretty good.

Nadine was a wonderful florist. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, and my wedding was incredibly beautiful. She picked gorgeous flowers and I can't say enough about how the colors blended with the rooms and the light to make my ceremony and reception breathtaking. She can work with as little or as much direction as the bride wishes, but in my case I gave her a color scheme and told her to use seasonal flowers and pretty much go from there. I highly recommend her!

Carasco Photography recently documented a mutual client's wedding at the Chicago History Museum. Fragrant Design created beautiful bouquets and floral designs that were fresh, vibrant, and held up impeccably throughout the day. Oftentimes, floral arrangements (especially bouquets) will wilt or bruise in the heat, but Fragrant Designs' flowers remained beautiful all day.
