Flowers for Dreams















Ann Taylor Trench Dress (currently 50% full-priced styles!) || J.Crew Gingham Button Down || Banana Republic Ankle Zip Pants || J.Crew Felt Hat || Tory Burch Robinson Tote || Ann Taylor Ankle Strap Sandals || David Yurman Bracelets || David Yurman Ring

Happy Monday, all!  I hope everyone had a great weekend.  

Friday afternoon, I had the opportunity to spend the day with my friends at Flowers for Dreams to view their new loft space in the city and watch them curate some fabulous bouquets for a weeding taking place this weekend. If you're not familiar with Flowers for Dreams, let me take a moment to fill you in 'cause they're pretty spectacular.  

Flowers for Dreams is a Chicago-based florist on a mission to bring you beautiful, handcrafted, modern bouquets and an affordable price.  All bouquets start at $35 (yep, you heard me, $35.  No gimmicks).  Their stems are hand-curated at local Chicago markets to create fresh, unique designs for every customer.  Everything is sources, designed, and delivered by them right here in Chicago to ensure unprecedented levels of quality control.  

Bouquets come wrapped in recycled coffee burlap and cases range from reclaimed wood to vintage tins.  Not to mention, they hand deliver for free in the Chicagoland area.  And when I say hand deliver, I mean by real people, on the cutest bike rain or shine.  Get to know you're courier, too, as you might see him or her often and if you're nice, they may even surprise you with a bottle of wine or case of beer.  What's not to love?  And yes, that has actually happened. :) 

As if all of that isn't amazing enough, a portion of the proceeds from each Flowers for Dreams purchase is donated to a local Chicago charity.  Visit them on Instagram as well to view more of their incredible work.  Enjoy!  

XOXO, 
Anna
