I heard about Vale of Enna through a friend that got married a year before me and she had said how upset she was that she wasn't able to get get Vale of Enna as her florist. I contacted them over a year in advance of my wedding and was so thrilled that I made that call. Grace was a total pleasure to work with and completely got my taste and what I was looking for all from one sit down meeting in which I was all over the place. The night of my wedding, I walked into the reception area by myself to find Grace and her assistant still setting up and she was able to put arrange extra flowers in areas I hadn't even thought of. I was so moved at how beautiful the room looked and it was all because of the thought and care that Grace put into our event. I never once worried that something wouldn't look as I had expected. I HIGHLY recommend Vale of Enna and already have to several of my friends getting married.

Grace did such an awesome job making our flower arrangements. They were simply breath taking. The bouquets are huge for the price u pay. The alter arrangements were so beautiful and really brightened up the church. I would recommend doing the flower trial before hand, because it allows you to adjust any issues you may have, and allows Grace to fix what you may not consider perfect because this girl strives to make sure your flowers are perfect. Grace is very easy to work with, and responds to your emails quickly. Her pricing cannot be beat for the quality you receive. Flowers were beautiful got many complements on how my centerpieces and alter arrangements looked. The flowers were extremely fresh looking and lasted throughout the entire day. Will recommend, a must have!!!

Grace is sooooo talented. I had seen her work from a past bride and was sold on the pictures before I even met Grace. She was a dream to work with and is such a sweet person. She made sure that all of the little details I wanted came to life and was very good about coming up with creative ideas to go above and beyond. My bouquet and my bridesmaid's flowers turned out to be the best I have ever seen. I will have the pictures forever and will never forget how amazing Grace and her team are. I recommend Grace with highest regards.

Grace, the owner of Vale of Enna is amazing! She was the very first vendor I booked after I got engaged. I was familiar with her work because two of my girlfriends had used her for their weddings and had spoke very highly of Grace. And once I had seen their beautiful arrangements and bouquets, I knew I had to hire Grace for my wedding too! She was so easy to work with and responsive to all my emails. She even did a mock up centerpiece for me to see a few weeks before my wedding to make sure I LOVE it (which I did). On the day of my wedding, all the flowers were absolultey gorgeous. Grace really listens to you and will make sure your vision comes to life!

My husband and I could not have been more happier with choosing Vale of Enna to do our flowers and decor. Grace, the owner, did a fantastic job of bringing to life our vision for the day. Even the most aloof of the groomsmen took note of the beautiful archway Grace had created with branches and flowers intertwined for our ceremony. Even weeks after the ceremony I am still hearing about how beautiful everything was. Grace was always so patient with me as I changed my mind several times on centerpieces, colors, and candles. She's very attentive to detail which makes for perfection! I truly believe no bride can go wrong when choosing Grace because she will work with your budget to produce the most luxurious and beautiful creations and can bring any venue to life. Many thanks to Vale of Enna in making our special day absolutely stunning!

Grace and Vale of Enna were amazing! The flowers were absolutely beautiful and working with her was a breeze. Grace took the time to get an idea of what we were looking for and incorporated some special details of her own to make it all the more impressive. Overall it was a wonderful experience and very reasonable for top notch design and flowers- we'd recommend her to everyone!

Grace, at Vale of Enna, made the most beautiful flower bouquet I have ever seen!!! I absolutely LOVED my flowers and my bridesmaids flowers. I was blown away when I first saw them. It was better than anything I could have imagined!! She did am AMAZING job!!! They were gorgeous! I even got compliments from strangers on how beautiful they were! I have them in a vase on the counter and I wish I could take them on my honeymoon with me!
Grace did an excellent job and really worked within my budget! I can't believe how gorgeous the flowers were and how affordable they were. She gave me better pricing than any other flower company I got a quote from.
Thank you again. The flowers were stunning and affordable!!! It made my wedding day so spectacular and I would HIGHLY recommend Vale of Enna to everyone!!

Grace exceeded my expectations. The flowers were my favorite part of the wedding. She went above and beyond in her attention to detail. Not to mention, she is the nicest person. She is well worth it.

I chose Vale of Enna through a recommendation of a good friend. I knew I had made the right choice when I saw how delicate, unique, and classic her style was. Grace made stunning center pieces with flowers/branches/candles that are in season during my wedding month, and was creative with ideas that were cost friendly. I didn't have an idea of what I wanted for my wedding (bouquets, center pieces, etc), but I was thankful for the way Grace was able to help me pick a style that fit my personality. Grace was patient and paid exquisite attention to detail. I would recommend Vale of Enna to any future bride. Vale of Enna helped make my wedding planning a success!

Grace is absolutely THE best!!! We did a long, exhaustive search for a florist and we are just so glad we finally stumbled upon Vale Of Enna. We had florists who didn't return our calls, florists who took 6 weeks to get us a quote, florists who literally had only one idea, and florists who gasped at the idea of black satin ribbon for our bridesmaids because it was "too stark." After reading about Grace on a wedding chat board, I contacted her and received an immediate, warm reposnse. It was great communication from the start. Meeting her was even better, as she appreciated our desire for simplicity and never tried to push us on anything. Being younger, she has a great sense of style and isn't afraid to try things that your mom's florist might freak out about! She did such an amazing job working with our budget, but on the day of our wedding, you would not guess these flowers were as affordable as they were! Just big, beautiful blooms that were GORGEOUS! Grace went over and above what we asked for, by adding some really cool arrangements to our guest book table, and by staying a little longer at my mom's house to add some feathers that I had bought to our bouquets! Wonderful experience all around! Thanks Grace!

Grace, you brought my visions to life for our peacock themed wedding. Even though I lived and planned the wedding out in Toronto, I always felt at ease since you were always so quick to respond to my many questions. I really appreciated the fact that you were so flexible and patient with us...especially since there were so many of us. My bridal bouquet was beautiful and held such a touch of elegance...and the bridesmaids bouquets were fun and perfect. My flower girls were precious with their matching ribbons. The centerpieces in the reception hall took my breath away as I walked in for the first time. I trusted you and you really came through for us. Thank you

Grace is incredibly talented and was great to work with. I must have changed my mind on centerpieces at least three times and she never got annoyed. When the centerpiece that I requested came in over budget on my quotation, she sent me pictures of more affordable ideas and surprisingly I liked one of those even better than what I had asked for. From what I hear, she can book up pretty quickly but I booked her a year and half out so I had no problems. I didn't have a huge budget but I was able to really stretch it without having to compromise the quality of the flowers or having to have really small centerpieces. Vale of Enna was one of my favorite vendors to work with when I was wedding planning!

Grace and her employees were ridiculously awesome. So easy to communicate with and extremely sweet. Her work is so beautiful and creative. It's great quality. The flowers are so fresh, colorful, and stricking in many ways. Many guests of mine gave such positive comments about my flowers and decore. The Hyatt in Oak Brook even thought her work was terrific. Vale of Enna was strongly recommended to me by a close friend and I will strongly recommend her to any and everyone.

Vale of Enna's owner, Grace, is very creative. I absolutely loved my bouquet! Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! The quality of the work she did for us was impressive. We received lots of positive comments about the flowers from our guests as well. if there is any opportunity in the future for me to employ Vale of Enna again, I will without any hesitation. Everything was so beautiful!

Grace came highly recommended by my wedding coordinator Charlene Liang of Sweetchic Events. After seeing Grace's work online and meeting her in person, I didn't need to meet with anyone else. She was very personable and easy to work with. Grace happened to have two weddings already scheduled for our day, but she luckily agreed to do our personal flowers (bouquet, boutonnieres, corsages). I provided Grace a photo of a bouquet that I saw and fell in love with, and Grace re-created the bouquet beautifully while adding her own personal touch to it. Additionally, I had planned to do my own centerpieces and was wondering how I would find the flowers I needed, and Grace was generous enough to allow me to place an order of flowers through her, which saved us a lot of time and money - two things that are always in short supply when dealing with weddings. I had a very positive experience with Grace and I would have no reservations recommending her!

Vale of Enna was fantastic from start to finish. The flowers were gorgeous, the service was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. I would use them again in a heartbeat.
The flowers were very important to my daughter at her wedding and she was very, very pleased as was I. They were unique and lovely. All of the guests commented on how beautiful they were and inquired as to who did them.

I would give Grace with Vale of Enna more stars than 5 if possible! She was absolutely fantastic to work with, does gorgeous work and is at least 1/3 cheaper than every other Chicago florist I looked at. In addition, she spends a lot of time trying to understand your vision and create exactly the look you are going for. She is also very creative and provided the freshest most beautiful flowers for my wedding day. Truly, the only time I shed a happy tear on my wedding day was when I saw my bouquet. It was literally exactly what I had hoped for the flowers were so fresh and bright! Grace is also an extremely nice and good person and it always feels good to give business to nice people! Vale of Enna is beyond exceptional!
