Jessica from Anemone was an incredibly creative and personable vendor. After visiting 3 other florists prior to her, I was struggling to find someone who could articulate my vision and meet my budget. There were also a few different interest groups involved in the wedding that had visions that didn't exactly mesh well together. Jessica took the time to get to know me, listen to my concerns and needs, and find specific flowers that fit the look and feel of our unique venue and preferences. She also found a way to bring together the vastly different visions of my mom, myself, and my now-husband. She put together a sample during quite a busy season, and she was flexible with replacing specific foliages and flowers, adjusting things with ease and actually coming in slightly below the originally quoted price. I chose to have 4 different colors for my bridesmaids, and the flowers were critical in bring together the look of the bridal party. While never seeing the exact colors of the bridesmaids' dresses, she seamlessly was able to bring together the colors with beautiful fall tones. The pictures were breathtaking, and I received a number of compliments including some from some really hard to please relatives. She went above and beyond in helping me decorate the venue and incorporating some last minute touches like a few dozen family candle votives. Also, she gave some budget friendly recommendations for linen lines that matched the tone of our palette. read more

I would recommend Jessica and her Anemone team to any couples looking to realize their wedding day dreams! For our fall wedding, we had a specific vision, where we wanted the florals to be elegant but simple, because our wedding venue was already very ornate; we also wanted to incorporate fruits into our centerpieces and garlands because they add a pop of color and different textures, as well as rich meanings in our cultures. The romantic and natural style of Jessica's works on her website caught my eye. When Jessica and I first spoke on the phone, we immediately hit it off over our common passion for art - she had lived in Europe and is now teaching art history. I knew right away that she has not only the skills but also the eye for beauty. During the proposal creation process, Jessica was exceedingly patient and accommodating to our many ideas and adjustments, making sure to help us maximize our budget. For example, when I asked to pay for a "floral tasting", she actually suggested not to do it so that we can put that money to use on the actual wedding day. We can't thank Jessica enough for her beautiful arrangements and timely delivery. It felt like magic when the 1-hour room flip, our reception space was completely transformed. 5 stars! read more

I can't tell you how stunningly gorgeous I thought our wedding flowers were! To say they surpassed my expectations is a gross understatement. When I was getting my makeup done and she texted the picture of my bouquet I literally gasped and started bouncing up and down in my chair! The bridesmaids' bouquets were gorgeous as well, as were all the centerpieces and the arch. The head table was so beautiful, and I so appreciated that she took the time to make it look so lovely even though that was a freebie she threw in. Ditto with the cake flowers. She also went to a lot of extra trouble and expense to get me the peonies for my bouquet. They're my favorite flower and I had always dreamed of having them as part of my bouquet but because of the weather we had that spring they were extremely hard to acquire. Jessica went above and beyond to make my dream of having peonies a reality. The ranunculus and anemones were also stunning. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jessica/Anemone Creative to any and all brides. The flowers tied everything together at the venue and were one of my favorite parts of the wedding! I also received numerous compliments on the flowers. Jessica is the absolute best! read more

Jessica is amazing! Her excitement and personality is infectious - and that makes her all the more fun to work with. During the initial consultation, we looked at some Pins she put together on a Pinterest board (loved that) and included images of our venue from other weddings that I hadn't seen. We basically just told her our colors, basic idea of what we had in mind, which Pins we liked and she made it AMAZING. She also found really awesome ways to reuse flowers from the ceremony for the reception, which was a huge plus for us. Everyone told us how beautiful everything was and we owe it to Jessica. Our photographer told us she barely made any photos black & white because our colors were so great. As a bonus, we were able to take the succulents out of the bridal bouquet and save them - so special to have a piece of the big day live on. Everything from start to finish was wonderful - I would recommend Anemone to anyone looking for a florist. Jessica is truly passionate about what she does and that comes through in her creativity and dedication to making your day beautiful! read more

I don't even know where to start this review. I can't even understand how Anemone Creative isn't everyone's go-to! After meeting with several well known and supposedly affordable florist we were told that the minimum budget to even work with these places was $6,000. And that just included the basics. When I found Anemone Creative I couldn't believe how organized, detailed, and budget-friendly it was! Jessica is amazing to work with. Right from the start, I sent her several inspiration photos and she put a detailed estimate together for us. I love color and wanted lots of it from the florals since our wedding venue was stark white. Jessica was excited and really came through on the day of with all the color!! She was also able to create a beautiful hanging arch that we got married under, a couple of wall decorations, a welcome table piece, and a minimal/eclectic reception tablescape. Everything was so beautiful! I would recommend her services to anyone!! read more

When we first got engaged we thought about going the diy route with the florals for our July 2019 wedding. We were pretty serious about the idea and bought all the vases and other decorations. I watched some youtube videos and quickly realized what a foolish idea this was for us for a variety of reasons. I literally know nothing about florals. I found Anemone through our venue's vendor recommendations list and reached out. Jessica was quick to respond and when I met her later that week I knew she was the one for us. I showed her some inspiration photos that I really liked for our florals and asked her a ton of questions. She made the whole process painless and stress free. Jessica knows her stuff and is worth her weight in gold as a wedding vendor. She created the most beautiful arrangements for our wedding day and her team was such a joy to work with. I can't say enough great things about her and highly recommend you book her for your wedding. read more

Jessica's creative and beautiful creations for our April 2022 wedding at the Woman's Club of Evanston were beyond what we could have ever dreamed. As people who are not very experienced with flowers ourselves, she took our initial, admittedly mostly vague, thoughts and turned them into a gorgeous vision. The floral arch she created not only was the centerpiece of the ceremony, it was so fantastic we used it as the backdrop for all of our posed family photos - and it looks great in each one! The beautiful centerpieces were the perfect size and style for our historic venue and incorporated our love of wildflowers and the season of Spring. The bouquets, corsages and boutineers were beautiful and looked great for the entire day. During our entire planning process, Jessica was kind, patient and a invaluable resource for sharing her many years of experience on what would look good for us and fit our venue and personality - and she was right! read more

Hands down, every bride should go with Anemone Creative for their wedding. Jessica was so amazing to work with. I know next to nothing about flowers and after a consultation with her I only had to describe my wedding colors, that I wanted Tiger Lilies in honor of my father, and she did all the rest. She showed me pictures and talked through ideas she had. I just knew walking out of her office that she was going to do an incredible job. And she is incredibly reasonably priced. I gave her my budget and she was able to accommodate it. I received so many compliments on my flower arrangements. They were absolutely breath taking. My wedding was perfect, but if I had to do it all over again I would totally have Jessica do my flowers again. All of these reviews are spot on with Jessica's attention to detail and creativity. Brides let out a sigh of relief because after multiple searches, you can be confident you found your florist!! read more

We couldn't be happier that we chose Anemone Creative for our wedding flowers. Jessica worked within our very tight budget and managed to create some absolutely lovely pieces for our wedding. She took our personal style and the overall vibe of our wedding and matched it so perfectly to the organic, natural beach setting of our venue. And she was so professional in the face of hiccups, too! A parade interrupted her route to our venue during delivery, and she was diligently keeping me and my bridesmaids updated on her arrival minute-by-minute, and made sure everyone in our bridal party had their flowers before pictures began. You would never know it by the perfect arrangements, but I know she hustled hard to make sure every arrangement was in place and that it all looked great. Vendors like this are what make weddings (an already crazy, confusing, stressful time) so much easier. read more

Anemone blew us away with their talent, creativity, and dedication to our wedding. My wife and I knew nothing about flowers but Jessica helped us through it all. She was able to talk us through our wants and needs and left us feeling confident in our decisions. When we had a semi-late change of color in the table cloths at the venue, Anemone rolled with it and and we figured something out together. They even went out and spray painted a vase in the middle of our meeting so we could see a different setup! As to the day of execution. Jessica was also able to transform our ceremony space into a magical wonderland. She created a flower installation that spanned an entire wall that had a cascade of flowers hanging from it. It seemed like it was something from our dreams! Our day was absolutely perfect and Anemone Creative played a big role in making it that way. read more

Jessica absolutely blew me away with the breathtakingly beautiful bouquets and arrangements she created for my wedding! When I first met with Jessica, we quickly connected and I hired her on the spot. She understood what I wanted and I had so much confidence in her that I actually had to ask her at one point if I needed to be doing something else. It was so comforting amid the craziness of wedding planning to be able to just trust her and worry about one less thing. And I'm so glad I did. Jessica captured my vision and created a dream wedding more beautiful than I could have imagined. She created the most magnificent bouquets, boutonnières, and table centerpieces, as well as sensational altar arrangements and flowers to adorn our wedding cake. People are STILL talking about my flowers even two months later. Thank you so much Jessica!! read more

My daughter and I met with several floral designers in the Green Alliance space and we selected Anemone. Jessica and her team were amazing to work with. She quickly understood my daughter's vision and vibe for her wedding and helped to refine it when necessary. She is fun to work with and her energy and passion for what she does shines through her floral arrangements. We really felt like she was fully invested in making our space as beautiful as we dreamed it would be. On several occasions Jessica went above and beyond what a typically florist would do in helping to create a beautiful environment in our industrial space. Wouldn't work with anyone else! read more

Working with Jessica at Anemone was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Jessica and Anemone Creative has been an overall complete pleasure to work with. When first meeting with Jessica, she knew exactly where we were headed in our explanation of what we wanted and DELIVERED in an awesome fashion!!

She was professional in how she put together our floral design so we could easily access it and she was responsive throughout the process to my many emails and questions.

When we saw the photos that Jessica posted, my daughter and I immediately loved them. As it turned out, we loved working with her just as much. She has an extensive art background, and took our ideas and refined them into a strikingly beautiful and cohesive plan for flowers and decor, along with suggesting some creative ideas for saving money. On the day of the wedding, Jessica and her staff worked very hard arranging, hanging and making sure all went smoothly. I'm confident Anemone is already one of Chicago's premier wedding vendors.
