I wanted something different for my wife than the usual dozen red roses for Valentines Day. She typically prefers more varied and non-typical flowers. I asked around some friends and family, and Gatherings was among the recommended options. I sent in a note indicating my wife likes, "loose, organic looking arrangements with some unusual flowers." The next day, I got a call from Lisa. She was more than happy to help. She asked if I had any more requests, and I just asked her to make something that she herself would like. When the arrangement arrived, my wife could not have been more thrilled. She loved the variety of flowers, and the feeling of a personal touch that had gone into selecting and arranging them. As a husband who isn't skilled himself at picking out flowers, I highly recommend Lisa and Gatherings. read more

Gatherings - Floral Designers Near Me - Wheaton, Illinois

For two years in a row, we've used Gatherings for high school functions like homecoming and Prom. I was impressed at the level of customer service Lisa extended towards me. She was organized and thoughtful and even asked me to text a picture of my daughters dress so she could have a visual. She was quick to respond to to questions and made the purchasing simple with just a few clicks to complete. For a small business, off the beaten path, I would 100 times recommend using them and discovering for yourself how amazing and caring Lisa and her team is at Gatherings. read more

We used Gatherings Design for our wedding in June of 2022. They provided centerpieces, wedding party flowers and boutonnieres, arch flowers, bride and groom flowers, various arrangements for tables, and various candles/lanterns for decor. We worked with Lisa and fell in love from day one. We planned our wedding from out of town and she made it incredibly easy. During the planning phase, Lisa was able to take several FaceTime calls and help us pick our flowers and colors. Her expertise in understanding flower choice and how it would react to direct sunlight and time off-stem was helpful in the longevity of our arrangements on wedding day. During trips back to Illinois, Lisa invited us to meet with her and discuss our ideas and provide updates on her designs. Lisa knew our schedule was difficult coming in from out of town and always made herself available for in-person meetings and shop visits when needed. Additionally, she helped us pick dual-use arrangements to be used during both ceremony and reception. This allowed us to stretch our dollar and reduce waste of flowers. On wedding day, Lisa and her team delivered flowers to the bridal suite and groom's house. All the flowers arrived well packaged and labeled for each person. At the venue, her team worked seamlessly with our coordinator to place arrangements and keep on schedule. After the ceremony, her team expeditiously rearranged the floral arrangements for the reception and dinner. Unfortunately, the weather during our ceremony was unfavorable. Her team was able to quickly adapt to our rain location and utilize their arch for our arrangement. All the flowers and arrangements Lisa and her team provided were stunning. Every color and flower choice in each arrangement worked harmoniously and complemented our wedding colors and theme flawlessly. Lisa provided lanterns and candles to frame our ceremony aisle and centerpieces. We were happy with all our vendors, but Gatherings Design truly blew us away! read more

My husband and I cannot recommend Lisa and Gatherings Design highly enough. She grasped our concept and vision of masculine elegance from the first meeting, was extremely easy to work with, and ran with our aesthetic to create arrangements, bouquets and personal flowers that truly wowed our guests and attendants. She also embraced our plan to offer wreaths as favors, and did an outstanding job weaving our colorway into festive holiday decor. She also represented tremendous value compared with other designers whom we interviewed. Perfection all around. read more
