Honored to support the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab Art in Motion fundraiser once again. This night is always a reminder of the power of resilience, innovation, and community. Grateful to play even a small part in helping people rebuild their lives and reach new possibilities.

Sometimes, all you need is storied architecture and an unapologetically abundant composition.

Set against carved stone and timeworn detail, this arrangement leans into movement, texture, and a painterly palette, where sculptural alliums, trailing greens, and sun-washed blooms spill effortlessly from a classical fountain.

Soft. Unrushed. Effortless in a way you can’t quite recreate, only curate.

The entire day moved with intention but never felt overworked. Nothing competing, nothing overwhelming. Just a quiet kind of beauty that settles in and stays with you.

This is the shift:
from more → to meaningful
from styled → to felt

The kind of atmosphere your guests remember long after.

Save this if this is your wedding energy.

An exercise in atmosphere, where classical florals are steeped in shadow, and tradition is reimagined through an organic, moody lens.

Set within a space rich with history, this was never about filling a room but transforming it. Candlelight flickers against stone, florals spill and climb with quiet abandon, and every detail is composed to feel both effortless and exacting.
There is a sense of arrival here. Of stepping into something hushed, cinematic… almost otherworldly.

A world where beauty feels infinite, wonder lingers in every corner, and love is not just present but enveloping.

Not florals, but feeling.
Not decor, but dimension.
Not a moment, but a world.

Sculptural. Unexpected. Intentionally undone.

An es**rt card table reimagined as a living composition; cascading amaranthus, inky calla lilies, playful orchids, and expressive, architectural movement. Each stem placed to intrigue, to invite pause, to set the tone before the evening unfolds.

For those who favor nuance over convention.

Where modern romance meets iconic Chicago views

This effortlessly chic couple said “I do” in the heart of downtown, surrounded by cascading floral installations and lush native hydrangea that transformed into a dreamscape of elegance and intimacy. Every detail was refined, intentional, unforgettable.

From the glow of the city skyline to the artful layering of textures and blooms, this celebration was the perfect balance of sophistication and warmth.

A true masterpiece brought to life by the incredible planning team and your vision, flawlessly executed.

CHEERS!!! 🎉✨ Today we celebrate 8 YEARS of Florist & Hound Design!
This past weekend we wrapped up our 7th season, and I am absolutely in awe. My heart is overflowing with gratitude.
To our incredible clients, thank you for trusting us with your visions and letting us bring your dreams to life. I am forever grateful for you.

To our powerhouse teams, you worked your hearts out and poured everything into creating these stunning, unforgettable days. None of this would be possible without you.

To our wonderful vendor partners; planners, logistics, suppliers, lighting + production, cake + catering teams, your talent inspires me endlessly. Thank you for supporting us and creating alongside us!

I started F&HD just a few days before my 23rd birthday and the thing about being 23 is you have HUGE dreams and zero idea how to make them real. In a few days I’ll turn 30, and that little baby business-owner-to-be would be speechless knowing what we’ve built. Today, I’m celebrating Florist & Hound, everyone who has worked with us, and every single lesson learned along the way (still learning plenty every day!).

This past year we didn’t just create magical settings, we also launched our fabrication division and officially outgrew our studio! For the 2026 season, we’re gearing up for some truly unreal projects and a move into a BRAND NEW space. We can’t wait to grow our team and keep collaborating with the vendors we adore, and new friends, too.

My heart is so incredibly full today. I cannot WAIT to dive into 2026!!! With all my love and endless gratitude… CHEERS!!! 🥂

✨ The rulebook? Tossed. This wedding was all about vision, creativity, and a party no one will forget.

From 20+ suspended floral installations, to tablescapes inspired by Alice in Wonderland (🍄 and all), to a surprise rock show, Lauren and Brad really know how to put on one hell of a party!!
