Prairie Basket Florist

Wow, were we lucky to find Prairie Basket! Our daughter was getting married on a farm, so I asked members of the local garden club for recommendations. Unanimous answer: Candy Quinn of Prairie Basket. Candy is so nice, professional and knowledgeable. She offered thoughtful suggestions but didn't hijack the project. Candy put the bride first, knowing that it was the bride's day.

Results were awesome. Gorgeous flowers arranged in wine boxes and glass bottles gave the tent a country (but not bumpkin) feel. Bride's bouquet was exactly what my daughter wanted and bridesmaids' bouquets complimented the dresses perfectly.

So many guests asked who did our flowers. Was happy to recommend Prairie Basket as I do to you!
Thank you, Candy Quinn, for your help.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Candy on the flowers for our wedding. The flowers were beautiful, unique and stunning! Candy’s creativity and expertise awards her the ability to provide exactly what you are looking for, as well as, far exceed your expectations. For example, I had a pretty clear picture of how I envisioned my bouquet, and it turned out exactly the way I had explained, but better! Additionally, we had a more general idea and vision for the ceremony, reception and bridal party flowers. Candy captured modern elegance without question- the colors, textures and arrangements enhanced the overall ambiance at the Chicago History Museum and created even more special details!

The flowers that Candy and her team provided were outstanding. The listened to the descriptions of what we were looking for and then matched our layman's terms with the most gorgeous flowers and really creative arrangements. My bouquet was better than I could have imagined and my husband's boutonniere was a great match for his personality and the style of the wedding. I can't recommend them highly enough and I hope to use them many more times in the future.

Candy just did our daughter's wedding. Everyone is still talking about how beautiful and unique the flowers were, especially my daughter's bouquet, which was made of white roses, calla lilies, lady's slippers, berries, and a few other unfamiliar flowers. It was breathtaking! And the bridesmaids' bouquets, centerpieces, corsages, etc.--I could go on and on. We had a very traditional wedding, yet Candy was able to create untraditional arrangements that were tasteful, colorful but not gaudy, and exactly what we wanted. She was always available for questions and encorporated everything we requested. We couldn't have been happier.

Candy is not just a florist, she is an artist. My daughters wedding flowers were perfect in every way. Giving Candy a few color choices, she took it and created unique, one of a kind arrangements. From the wedding arch to the table arrangements, awesome.

I was referred to Prairie Baskets by my photograher for my wedding this past March. I met with Candy to go over the details I wanted for the flower arrangements for my wedding. After meeting with Candy, I immediatley felt comfortable and confident and knew that I needed to look no further. Candy ensured she knew what I wanted and promised to deliver beautiful arrangements on my wedding day. She provided me a detailed list to ensure we had everything covered. Candy made things less stressful for me. On my wedding day, the flowers that were delivered were even better than I expected. The bouquets were beyond amazing! I wanted bright, bold colorful flowers and she did just that! The flowers made each and every picture pop. We were 110% pleased with the service we received. I highly recommend Prairie Baskets. Not only did she deliver great flowers, she is a wondeful, caring person that will not let you be unhappy. The prices were awesome too! I had a budget and she stuck to it unlike other vendors that tried to get me to exceed it. Thank you Prairie Baskets for being party of our wedding day. The flowers that we will have in our pictures will last a lifetime.

Candy did an excellent job with my flowers! I really had no idea what I was looking for and she did a great job of helping me pick out which flowers would work well with my colors. She was very affordable too and helped me pick things within my budget. Overall, I would highly recommend using Prairie Baskets!!

Candy is truly an artist. She will come up with floral arrangements that are far more beautiful and creative than anything you could imagine on your own. She uses flowers and other fillers that I have never heard of, and the result is always a masterpiece. Not only is Candy my first choice for all of my floral needs, but I can recommend her on another level. I am a wedding photographer, and I have seen her work at numerous weddings in the Chicago area. I am ALWAYS impressed.

Candy also has a heart of gold. She is so sweet and pleasant to work with. I couldn't recommend her enough.

My flowers from Prairie Basket Florist were everything I could have ever dreamed of for my wedding day. They were exactly what I wanted. I had a tropical theme and the flowers really made the day- there were even birds of paradise and pineapples to help set the theme.
