Patty truly is a fairy godmother. She just handled my wedding this past weekend and of all of the elements of my wedding, the flowers and décor was the star of the show. I was having a smaller wedding and honestly, my goal was to spend as little money as possible on flowers because I didn’t feel like they would make much of a difference in a wedding as small as mine. Patty set me straight and showed me how much these things can make a difference especially in a wedding like mine.
I spent more than I had originally intended, but I will tell you that the end result was worth every penny. Patty had some great ideas and is extremely creative. I met with her to plan everything and gave her some basic ideas such as colors and themes and she turned that into the most beautiful wedding I could ever imagine. So many of our guests complimented us on the décor and flowers and we gave away the centerpieces because we hated to see them go to waste. Everything was just perfect the day of too. I had to worry about nothing and all of the other vendors commented on how great she was to work with.
I would definitely recommend Patty and use her again. She was a pleasure to work with and she is not only florist, but really an event designer who will make yours shine. One note is that they do not take credit cards, but they were very flexible with payment scheduling.

Patty handled our flowers and décor for our wedding last weekend at the Cheney Mansion. She is a joy to work with, and her ideas and creations spot on. She truly embraced our vision, complete with mini bottles of Maker’s Mark bourbon as table gifts. Look no further for your wedding– Patty is the real deal!

Patty did a great job with the flowers for my wedding. Planning was very easy and the flowers looked amazing! She was a huge help the day of the wedding and set everything up and found all the family members that needed flowers without any assistance from me. I highly recommend her!

We could not have been happier with Patty and Fairy Godmothers support and service in our wedding planning and their work on our wedding day. From our first meeting over tea in her sweet workshop I knew we could trust her and she wasn’t like other pushy vendors we had met. Patty took in all of our ideas and the idiosyncrasies of what we wanted and delivered better than we could have even imagined. We received so many compliments and more than one person told me it was «magical.» In addition to her knowledge of the best seasonal product and her skillful delivery of beautiful arrangements, Patty was also a trusted coordinator for all of the extras, like transporting our delicate vintage cake topper and placing it expertly with the fresh flowers on the cake, or hauling our place cards and other knickknacks so we wouldn’t have to stress about making sure those got out in time or anything was forgotten during the hubbub of the big day. I was at ease knowing that she could handle everything with our venues and other vendors professionally. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

Very happy with my wedding flowers.
I had a great time planning flower arrangements with Patty for my wedding. She was very understanding, seemed very knowledgeable and skillful. Both bouquets for my bridesmaids and myself were gorgeous, and centerpieces were exactly what I wanted. The bouquets were a mix of light green hydrangeas and vendella ivory roses. The centerpieces were two dozen of vendella roses with some greenery. And most importantly it was reasonably priced. She even suggested and tastefully added a little bling to the ribbons on the centerpiece vases.
One thing during the process, I wish Patty had more pictures from her previous weddings, so it would be easier for me to pick and choose and feel more confident that I will get exactly what I envision. But we did a sample centerpiece before the wedding, tweaked a few things and it was great!

We went with Patty for our March wedding. I’m not a big flower person, but I knew exactly what I wanted. We wanted a clean and modern look… did we get that? Not exactly. Our centerpieces were nothing like what we wanted. All we wanted was gerbera daisies in pink and yellow with lemons… what we got, I couldn’t even tell you what most of the flowers were. Were things beautiful? Yes. My mother in law, who is a big time gardener, loved the arrangements and bouquets.
Why so many stars then, when I didn’t get exactly what I wanted? Patty is super nice and truly puts you at ease, even when you don’t know a thing about flowers. She knows what she is doing. She made a makeshift bouquet for my flower girl when she was so upset she had a basket and not a bouquet.

Fairy Godmothers recently provided the flowers for my wedding in downtown Chicago and I have nothing but great things to say about Patty and her staff. Our Reception was in the Rookery building and I can’t count how many people made a point of saying how great the flowers looked throughout the night. Patty was extremely helpful in taking the vision I had for the flowers and turning it into a reality. In addition to the flowers, Patty acted as a day of planner /​coordinator on my Wedding Day and made my day considerably less stressful. I can’t stress enough how happy my Husband and I were with Patty and her entire team. We would highly recommend Fairy Godmothers to other couples and we look forward to working with her in the future.

Patty is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! From the very moment we met her, we felt at ease. She listened to our needs, gave us great advice and truly collaborated on an absolutely stunning day. She went WAY above and beyond the call of duty. We felt completely taken care of. Every little detail was handled by Patty, with grace and charm. She took our ideas, our visions, and turned them into something better than we could have ever imagined. Her floral and décor arrangements were stunning. The bridal bouquet, with it’s special touches (including antique crystals from my mother-​in-​law (i.e. something borrowed) and charm sized photographs of our loved ones who couldn’t be with us (i.e. my something old)) was not to be believed. People are STILL talking about it! Thank you, Patty! You’re AMAZING!
