As we prepare for thanksgiving this coming Thursday, Tim and I are particularly thankful for our incredibly talented team! This year our team produced a mountain of gorgeous work and we literally couldn’t have done it without the help of each and every member of our team. Everyone pitched in and played their part and the positive vibes throughout our design studio made working long hard hours all the more enjoyable. For this, we are extremely #thankful!

Our team spent most of this week reviewing and considering ways of improving our overall client experience. It was a lot to cover as the client experience starts with the initial inquiry and lasts beyond the big day! We really took ourselves through the client journey making sure that every step of the way was clear and easy but also enjoyable and ultimately lead to our clients getting the most out of us. Fun questions we pushed ourselves to answer: 1) How do we get our clients to think outside the box and truly utilize our creative expertise versus wanting to just recreate another wedding they’ve seen? 2) How can we better create lasting relationships with our clients? 3) How can we make it even easier to fully understand the ‘next steps’ in the process? No matter how much you grow, it’s always imperative that you fine tune your process! #practicemakesperfect Photo: @rebeccahaleyphotography
We had been anxiously awaiting the opportunity to use our stage surround boxes as floral containers lining an aisle for quite some time now. So that’s exactly what we did for Emily and Heath’s wedding ceremony at the @langhamchicago! And shoutout to @seancookweddings for capturing such wonderful shots of the aisle set up!

Jenni and John’s wedding gave a whole new meaning to the phrase “green with envy”. I mean who WOULDN’T be envious of this stunning greenery piece that ran the entire length of their head table!? Photo: @ashleybosnick
It’s pretty remarkable how much can change in just a few short years. @artistrieco and I have been friends since the early years of Life In Bloom. We’ve done several weddings together and she has offered her time (and incredible talents) graciously many times over the years by photographing special moments along the way. About three and a half years ago she photographed me in, what was, my first official studio at the time. I was the sole employee at that time (with the exception of Tim who would help out on some weekend installs). Flash forward to today when I get to work side by side with these Two along with a support team of 10+ floral designers! I always had visions of a design studio that was cozy and inviting, and a place where I felt at home. We wanted it to feel light and airy. We wanted it to truly reflect our brand and overall design aesthetic. While that first studio definitely got the job done from a production standpoint, it lacked that cozy vibe that we had in mind. But with a little patience and a LOT of hard work, here we are in our dream studio, doing what we love! Photo: @artistrieco
