Valerie is wonderful and extremely talented. If you are looking for STUNNING flowers, go with Valerie! She only does weddings and does 2 weddings a weekend, so she can fully concentrate on your wedding. Our centerpieces were knock-outs and the flowers were absolutely beautiful. She has such an eye for matching things and really listened to my vision and made it WAY more beautiful than I had ever imagined. Thank you so much Valerie!!!

I bought the large garland for our Thanksgiving Celebration and I have never seen anything like it! It was so beautiful and well crafted my guests were in shock. The quality was impressive and the staff incredibly caring and truly interested in making sure my ordered arrived in time!

Valerie was awesome to work with. Her ideas were great. We had our service and the reception at the same place. Valerie was there to make sure everyone had the right flowers. The rooms looked beautiful, I loved the flowers in my cake. The professionalism was the best, she is such a pleasure to work with. I would definately refer Valerie to friends. All of my guests were telling me how much they loved the flowers/center pieces. She made the table center pieces so that the flowers could be lifted out of the tall vases and taken home.
Loved all the flowers. Couldn't have made it look so beautiful without Valerie.

Valerie is the most amazing florist! We met with her at her Schaumburg office 3 months before our wedding. She had tons of great ideas, and worked with our budget. She even gave the price quote on the spot. I was really excited after our meeting, but nothing could have prepared me for the beauty that she created on my wedding day! Valerie made gorgeous arrangements down the aisle that she used later on some of the reception tables. This was gorgeous, and a great way to stay on budget! She also worked extremely well with my vendor, and helped get my bridesmaids down the aisle on time. EVERYONE loved our arrangements! We had soooooo many compliments! I wish I could attach some photos! Valerie only does wedding flowers, which is what makes her such an expert. Her attention to detail is amazing! Thank you, Valerie, for making our wedding unforgettable!

I could not be happier with the service Valerie provided! All of our flowers were perfect! I did not expect them to be as gorgeous as they were. Everything was done before we arrived at the venue and they hand delivered all of our bouquets and boutonnieres to our hotel so that we could do our photos with them before the ceremony. We are still getting compliments on our centerpieces and we actually had some guests taking them because they liked them so much! We still have a centerpiece in our kitchen that looks beautiful and the wedding was about 3 weeks ago!!! Thanks so much for the excellent service!!!

Valerie did an absolutely amazing job with the flowers for our wedding!! She was able to create the look I had envisioned without actually ever having met her. We live out of town which made planning a wedding a bit more difficult, but Valerie made things very easy!! She spent a lot of time on the phone with me making sure everything was just as I pictured it. We would hire her again in a heartbeat!!

You don't need to waste time shopping around for a florist- seriously! Val from Artistic Design was amazing! I have never been to a wedding where people (including the catering staff) raved about the flowers and the look of the room so much. Anyone who took home flowers said they lasted over two weeks at home! Everything was done to perfection and well within budget- which is something every bride strives for.

I have to say that Valerie from the Artistic FLower Design Inc. was remarkable. I ordered a blue delphinium aisle runner from her. She always answered any emails I had. She sent many different swatches, even more than I asked. I even sent her pictures of my wedding location to see if what she thought about the aisle runner being placed where it I want it for the ceremony.
The delphinium blue color I wanted had an additional blue color added to the aisle runners, after I placed my order. Valerie called me to let me know that she was sending me swatches of the delphinium blue I originally ordered, along with the newer blue. She wanted to make sure I saw the new color before she went through with the order; to see if I liked the newer color blue better. She was a sweetheart.
My order did have a slight problem, in that the aisle runner she had ordered in my color came with frayed edges; when it should be sewn. The reason I still give Artistic Floral Design 5 stars is because Valerie called me immediately and also emailed me. She wanted my wedding to be perfect. She gave me the option of keeping the edges frayed if I liked they style, or having it brought to a professional person she works with to be sewn. It would have been rushed for me. Many companies would not have even called a customer, before sending an item. Valerie inspected the aisle runner before she attempted to mail it. It ended up that a new delphinium blue aisle runner came in, that did not have fray edges. Valerie sent me a sample of it to make sure I 100% loved the color blue. She also sent me free double sided tape to hold the aisle runner down, due to having the original runner come the way it did.
If I could give Artistic Floral Design 10 stars on responsiveness, flexibility, professionalism, and quality of service I truly would. When I got my aisle runner in the mail, the quality of the aisle runner was spectacular. It was worth the price. I cannot wait for my wedding, just to see the beautiful aisle runner laying outside for the ceremony.

Valerie did a beautiful job with the flowers for my wedding. The bouquets for the bridesmaids were beautiful and my bouquet was absolutely stunning. The flowers at the church transformed my plain church into a beautiful wedding. The centerpieces at the reception were absolutely gorgeous. Many of our guests told us it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. Choosing to work with Valerie and Artistic Floral was a great decision!

Val was easily the best vendor of my wedding. I knew that she was going to show up on time and everything would look exactly as we discussed. She is extremely detail oriented and really took the time to understand my dream wedding. She was professional and creative the two times my mom and I met with her before the wedding and worked with me to get everything I wanted within my budget. A really great advantage to having Val as your florist is that she only does weddings so she really understands the business and is able to give you the full service that makes the day go so smoothly. It is also not a huge company that makes you feel like a number. Val was truly excited about my wedding and was available to answer questions and make changes easily. The flowers were so fresh and beautifully put together. I couldn’t have been happier. Thanks, Val!

The flowers and decorations were perfect, everything turned out better than I had pictured. Planning was extremely easy, after the initial meeting we planned through email and just a couple phone calls.
I will definitely refer Artistic to all my engaged friends.

Valerie was amazing and I couldn't have been happier. I never actually met her nor saw anything she created until the day of my wedding. Due to my schedule she had to do everything via phone calls and hope that I was happy with what she provided. When I saw what she created for our day I was completely amazed by her work.

For future brides, Valerie and her company, All of the bouquets and centerpieces she made were AMAZING, exquisite and elegant. I had at least 2 appointments and made changes at each, and Valerie was so kind to me. She understood how important my flowers were to me. She took the time to care about my needs and wants, and explained the differences between her and her competitors. She gave me a quote the first time we met. Valerie is professional, personable, and your flowers are extremely important to her. All of them were perfectly pieced together with EXTREME ATTENTION to DETAIL. She uses only the finest flowers. Valerie is a definite perfectionist and I was so overjoyed with the way everything turned out. I have never seen a bridal bouquet like mine before, it was a breath of Heaven, with pearls and crystals, and touch a peek-a-boo feathers, wrapped in ivory ribbon, with 2 diamond clustered bracelets. My girls buoquets were stunning. My mother-in-law and my mother said the flowers were so gorgeous, they cried. The centerpieces were gorgeous!
Valerie's kindness and patience during my wedding planning, I will always remember. Of all my vendors, she came out on top and exceeded all of my expectations. We received endless compliments!!! She has my highest reccomendation ; ) ~Kristyne Greco, wedding date 4-30-11

It was a true pleasure working with Valerie and Cheryl. I had planned/reserved everything far in advance but missed purchasing a runner. I looked at several places and to get something customized in the time we needed was way over our budget.
I reached out to Valerie in a panic and she immediately put me at ease. Not only was a able to get the size runner I needed but there was time for Cheryl to paint a customized cherry blossom design with our names and the date. She provided the tracking # so I could make sure to get it the day it arrived.
It was a perfect accent to our ceremony and now hangs on our wall!

Valerie was wonderful to work with for our wedding flowers. She was very receptive to our ideas and did a great job meeting our high expectations! Our flowers turned out exquisite!! I'll fondly remember my lovely bouquet always. Also, it was clear Valerie had several years of experience which resulted in flawless service and products. For example she recommended a renting cloth aisle runner; it made all the difference in our processional/aisle pictures. Having little wedding planning experience, her guidance was helpful.
Valerie knows her stuff. She provides high quality products, timely service, and delivers on meeting the needs of brides! Excellent on all counts!

Valerie was so incredibly helpful with everything I envisioned for the wedding and had so many helpful suggestions to make the day everything I had hoped for. I was definitely impressed with the flowers that she provided and everything exceeded my expectations. She was also very flexible with some last minute changes that I needed to do for the wedding and was always easily accessible by phone or email whenever I had questions. I would definitely recommend her to anyone getting married.
