Lake Forest Flowers — Attraction in Lake Forest

As someone who knows close to nothing about flowers, but still blissfully loves them and wanted to have gorgeous flowers for her wedding, I am so lucky that my mother in law recommended I work with Eileen at Lake Forest Flowers!

A quick look at their website, Facebook page, or Instagram will show you what I can’t in words—Eileen’s arrangements are thoughtful, beautiful, unique, and timeless! What I can tell you beyond the photos is that Eileen really cares about the vision you have for your wedding. She was patient and helpful during our in-person floral meeting and able to imagine the things I had in mind despite my not knowing the words for anything. She also kept my husband’s preferences in mind despite his being a typical guy just trying to avoid any frou-frouness. :-P

Budget was an important point for us and Eileen made every cost very clear in her floral proposal, adjusting and readjusting as we decided against certain points while adding others later. She allowed additional flexibility with my mother in law and her friend kindly opting to deliver and set up flowers on the actual wedding day.

Our desired look in the end was very simple with white and soft pink flowers and lots of greenery. We had lantern centerpieces for our tables with greenery and flowers instead of large floral arrangements. Everything was beautiful and unified across her every creation. We also had baby’s breath for my hair and bridesmaids’ hair which everyone loved. Also, I requested to have eucalyptus throughout everything, which she truly honored, and I think this added a wonderful soft fragrance to the entire day! Also, I was able to have peonies in my bouquet which are my FAVORITE but not at all in season!

In the end, Eileen made a potentially stressful part of wedding planning SO easy and rewarding. She is such a talented and kind florist who will truly help to make your wedding as beautiful as you could dream. We are so lucky to have...

Of all the vendors I worked with for my wedding, Eileen truly stood out the most. She is so clearly passionate about what she does—you can hear her smile over the phone. She is warm, pleasant, and an absolute joy to work with. Her communication is excellent, and she responds to emails quickly, which gave me so much peace of mind during planning.

What impressed me most about working with Eileen was how she helped me achieve my full vision without feeling like I had to compromise because of cost. Other florists gave me sky-high quotes that forced me to cut things I really wanted, but Eileen was different. She worked with me to prioritize my focal pieces so they could be big and beautiful, and then we adjusted other areas to make everything fit within a price I was comfortable with. I never felt like I had to sacrifice my vision—she was flexible, creative, and thoughtful in every suggestion.

She also went above and beyond by personally being on-site for both set-up and take-down. That level of commitment and care meant so much and showed how dedicated she is to her clients. She even pointed out areas of our venue I hadn’t considered adding floral to, and her suggestions made the overall design even more stunning.

My only constructive feedback is that I wish credit card payments didn’t come with a fee. That aside, I could not have been happier. I would recommend Eileen again and again to any bride—she is truly amazing at...

I recently took a flower arranging class at Lake Forest Flowers with Eileen Weber and had to share my great experience! Not only did I walk away with a gorgeously fresh arrangement for my home that I did myself, I left with several useful tips and tricks that I will remember the next time I find myself arranging flowers. I was so impressed with Eileen in her ability to break down such a complicated process in a way we could all understand and could execute ourselves, in our own unique way. The class was more than just arranging flowers; I enjoyed learning about the various blooms we were using, the different parts of the world they shipped from, and how best to care for them. Eileen was engaging and professional throughout the class and made it a really fun evening for our group. Her passion for her work, her education, and her experience in all aspects of the industry was evident. I highly recommend Lake Forest Flowers if you are looking for high quality flowers and service, or if you ever are interested in attending a workshop. You won’t be...
