Kio Kreations, LLC

Kristen is an amazing creative florist! I wanted a simple yet colorful flower theme for my wedding and Kristen delivered. I told her what types of colors and flowers I liked, and she gave me the exact whimsical simplicity I envisioned. She even suggested the perfect fresh flowers to wear in my hair - white gardenias :) From the very beginning, Kristen was very professional, flexible, and easy to work with. A few months before my wedding, I told her I needed 25 family bouts for our extended family (it was a Filipino/Vietnamese wedding), and she knew exactly what to do. She was also good about reusing church flowers for cocktail hour and the reception. Check out her blog and facebook page - her floral arrangements definitely speak for themselves :)

Wow, I don't even know what to say about Kristen at Kio Kreations. I am a bride who knows what she wants and knew exactly what I wanted, but I was apprehensive about how it would all come together and what I would get for my money. When I met with Kristen in person I had different wedding colors and absolutely no theme. When I changed my wedding colors and gave it a nautical twist, I was worried that I would be giving complete control over to Kristen to create something beautiful. All I can say in response to that is, I was 110% right to put my faith in Kristen. While my venue was beautiful by itself, the flowers that Kristen created for my spring time nautical themed wedding were breathtaking. I received tons of compliments about my flowers and we didn't leave a single stem to die. Family and friends continued to enjoy my gorgeous blooms for days after the wedding. I am positive that if I had chosen a different vendor for my flowers, my wedding wouldn't have been nearly as beautiful as it was with Kio providing my flowers. I just can't say enough about the beautiful blooms she put together!!!

Kristen and Kio Kreations were absolutely wonderful! Not only were the flowers for my March 10th wedding absolutely gorgeous, but the entire process was easy and I had complete confidence through the entire planning process that I was going to be happy I chose them. She even handled my nervous stepdad's phone calls about the wedding flowers with ease (and let me tell you - that is quite an accomplishment). I had to make several changes to our original plan for the flowers due to a smaller wedding guest list than anticipated, and Kristen was so accommodating. I would without a doubt recommend her and her company to anyone looking for affordable, magnificent flowers in the Chicagoland area.

Flowers were absolutely gorgeous! Kristen is well versed in flowers, colors, and seasonal availability. I had no idea what I wanted and she had amazing suggestions. I couldn't wait to see all the flowers on our wedding day. Each piece was more beautiful than the next! Kristen knows Arrowhead's set up and works well with the staff to provide floral masterpieces.

I cannot say enough wondering things about our florist. Kristen is top notch and has an amazing talent. Our flowers were gorgeous and she really listened to what we wanted for our wedding. It was so much fun! She really took her time with us and she really paid attention to all the details. We had the most amazing flowers and she works with your budget in mind as well. You can tell that she loves what she does and takes pride in all the details for your special day.

Kio Kreations did a fantastic job at our wedding. The flower arrangements were amazing! They took care of everything and it looked wonderful. My mom and I described what we were looking for and they really brought it to life. I couldn't imagine it being any better!

I was beyond thrilled with all of our flowers!!! Kristen is a genious!!!

Kristen and Kio Kreations put together the most beautiful flowers for my wedding. She incorporated all of my fall colors and even leaves to fit the fall theme. Kristen is easy to work with and is interested in making arrangements that enhance the altar, dinner tables, or wherever they are placed. She sees the big picture and very creative so your wedding is your own, no cookie cutter flowers.

Kristen was excellent throughout the entire planning process and her product quality was exceptional. She was very quick to respond to most emails. I believe the longest I ever waited for a response was less than 2 days, but generally she got back to me within the day I emailed her. Kristen did all our flowers and she provided our candy buffet containers and signs. She also provided our aisle runner, and made our escort card display. She also provided other details like an arch for our cermony room, which she decorated to go with our theme, stands for the ceremony flowers along the aisle, a bird cage for our cards, and a bird cage for guests to give us advice. We had our ceremony in a fairly boring room, so we added more flowers for the ceremony, and Kristen made the room look amazing. The arch was beautiful. Our reception room also looked incredible. All the centerpieces, but especially the tall centerpieces, were very pretty. Kristen adds a lot of small details to the centerpieces, bouquets, etc that just make them even better. The bridal bouquet was exactly what I wanted, and the bridesmaids loved their bouquets. Kristen never told me she couldn't do anything I asked her to do. She was very willing to do anything, and she understood my vision from the first day we met. She worked with my vision and made some recommendations to make it ever better. My wedding was over a year from our first meeting and I was amazed how true she stayed to my vision. Also, I used her website to find other vendors who I used and they were also excellent.

Kristen and her team did an amazing job for my ceremony and reception. I was impressed by her creativity and out of the box thinking. Would highly recommend!!

Kristen and Kio Kreations did a wonderful job! She had so many great ideas, hepled us choose the most beautiful flowers and really showed how creative and how much expierence she has.

Kristen and her assistant created such a magical day for our wedding. She truly has a eye/gift as far as creating and listening to exactly what you want. My fiance and I knew we wanted fall colored flower for this time of year, thrown in with texture, etc., and thats exactly what we received. Everything was timely and picture perfect. Kristen was extremely wonderful to work with and affordable! I would definitely recommend and use again! Thank you

Kristen did a wonderful job on our wedding flowers, I couldn't have been more pleased!

AMAZING!!!! Kristen is a genius. When I met with her, I told her I wanted completely non-floral pieces because I really dislike flowers like roses, carnations, etc. After getting some info from me, Kristen says, "I know what you will love." Let me tell you, she was spot on. I had a succulent based wedding, and all of her designs were the most beautiful things I'd ever seen at a wedding. She is thrifty and creative (using my table pieces as ceremony decorations, absolutely beautiful), fast (we asked her the week of the wedding if she could do table numbers for us--done!), and most importantly, passionate. She truly loves what she does and you can see it in her work. She even told me how to plant the succulents from my bouquet so they can continue to grow. Thank you, thank you, thank you Kristen!!!

Kristen is absolutely amazing and talented. I had heard of her through a friend whose wedding I was in and was ecstatic when I was able to book Kristen for our September wedding. I had shopped around for florists quite a bit and was becoming discouraged because of the outrageous prices. When Kristen and I initially met I was so impressed with her professionalism. I had some very general ideas of what I imagined as far as colors and flower types, and Kristen spent a good 3 hours with me turning my vision into reality. She gave me a quote at the end of our meeting and it was well within our budget. Throughout the entire process Kristen was extremely easy to get a hold of despite her busy schedule. She met my mom and I at Kennicotts, the flower wholesaler to choose the specific flowers that would be used in my bouquet, my BM bouquets, centerpieces, etc. She also drove out to our venue, Biltmore Country Club, to get a feel for the club since she had not done a wedding there before. She shared her wonderful ideas of how to use the space and helped me once again bring my vision for flowers and decor to life. Kristen also put together our church programs, table cards, escort cards and other paper items for our wedding. Everything looked perfect and she did a great job incorporating our colors as well as our Miami University theme. When I saw the bouquets and center pieces on our wedding day everything looked more beautiful than I had ever imagined. I highly recommend Kio Kreations!!

Kristen from Kio Kreations was wonderful to work with. She was the only florist we met with and knew she was going to be able to pull off our vision while staying within budget. And she delivered perfectly! Our bouquets, centerpieces, and ceremony decor turned out stunning. When we saw our reception room for the first time it took our breath away. Kristen was promt about answering emails and even suggested many ideas of her own when I was unsure of what flowers or decor to use. She was a pleasure to work with and she helped make our special day absolutely perfect! Thank you Kio team!

Our flowers were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined, stood up shockingly well to the 105 (yes) degree heat, and were totally reasonably priced! Highly, highly recommend Kio!!

Amazing flowers and details! I loved working with Kristen at Meson Sabika. (I thought it was awesome she had my name and the same wedding venue herself!) I would suggest Kio Kreations for future brides!!!! :)

Kio Kreations does amazing work with florals. Kristen is very talented as a floral designer and a graphic designer. Kirsten was able to execute my vision for flowers and did it at a price that was well under what other florist quoted us for. We also hired her to do a hand drawn map for our invites which was a big hit with our guests!

The arrangements were unique. The combinations of flowers and colors were absolutely beautiful. Everyone complimented the arrangements and stated how pretty they were.
