love notes from our incredible couples
βFran, Iβm still not sure how you created my EXACT floral dreams and then some from only a few planning conversations. The flowers you grew and flawlessly put together created beautiful memories for us to enjoy far beyond our wedding day. Cannot recommend [your] design and kindness to people and the earth enough.β

βBeautiful flowers; grown in an ethical way; genuinely kind and down to Earth owner, Fran... BEST experience ever! I cannot recommend Heirloom Soul Florals enough. I had a general vision of what I wanted for my florals, and Fran made this vision come to life. The flowers at our wedding were beautiful and exceeded all expectations. She is truly a master of her craft! Thank you Fran!β

βMy husband and I got married at an old family home, and Fran made our wedding go from feeling βniceβ to feeling absolutely magical.
From our first phone consultation to the days leading up to our event, Fran was kind and creative and organized. She was easy to talk to about our very loose ideas of what we wanted and how to make full and creative use of our budget. She knows what sheβs doing, and weβre so happy we found and completely trusted her for our rehearsal dinner and wedding florals. Fran is the real deal! (Check out her Instagram to watch her flowers grow! So much work goes into all that beauty!)
On the day of our wedding, our centerpieces and the "flower wall" (an old stone barn wall Fran artfully decorated) behind us as we said our vows made our small celebration feel extremely special, and my bridal bouquet felt like βmeβ in a way thatβs difficult to describe. The more I looked at it, the more I loved it. If you love flowers and appreciate everything that goes into growing them, youβll adore Fran, and her wild arrangements will genuinely take your breath away. My great aunt's small town neighbors were stopping by the house to marvel at the flower wall long past its prime. (That tidbit probably makes Fran, who is the sweetest perfectionist you'll ever meet, cringe, but is a true testament to her ability to create beauty.)β

βWords can barely describe our excellent experience with Fran. From our first meeting in 2019 when we met and discussed our initial plan of everything, to the uncertainty surrounding the impending date of our wedding and the ever-evolving situation surrounding the pandemic, to the ultimate decision to re-plan everything entirely and start from scratch..SHE WAS FANTASTIC! We had the most beautiful day in [Delaware Park] at Hoyt Lake with her floral arrangements as the perfect accent. She was our saving grace and made our lives as stress free as possible with set-up and everything that went into getting us through the day. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a thoughtful and caring associate.β

βI would recommend Heirloom Soul Florals to anyone. Fran is a dream to work with! She is so thorough and thoughtful. Her work is gorgeous and she has the most adorable organic flower farm! All of the flowers are vibrant and she puts together the most unique and beautiful arrangements. She is very timely in responses and very organized. She supplied flowers for my wedding last month and I am using her again next year! Can't wait!β

βFran is so wonderful. She was completely booked on my wedding day and squeezed me in anyways. My flowers were absolutely beautiful and everyone commented on how unique they were. I heard about her through a friend who highly recommended her and I wasnβt disappointed. She took my colors and transformed them into handheld masterpieces. They were carefully packaged and she provided glass vases to hold them as well.β

βFran created my dream wedding bouquet & husband's boutonniΓ¨re for our small September 2020 wedding. When I came across @heirloomsoulflorals on Instagram, I couldn't get over the beautiful and unique floral designs Fran creates, and I have never seen anything like it. I sent Fran a few inspo pictures of what I had in mind, but I knew whatever she created would be incredible. She made the process so easy, and FUN! Not to mention, Fran is super sweet and so easy to work with! When I picked up our flowers, I was blown away by how STUNNING my bouquet was, I couldn't get over it and still can't to this day! I never wanted to put it down!...Words can't describe how amazing my bouquet & husband's boutonniΓ¨re turned out. I cannot wait to work again with Fran in the future. You can't go wrong here- Everything she creates is a pure WORK OF ART!!!! I cannot thank Fran enough.β

βFranβ¦I was blown away by the beauty of all the arrangements! I had no idea how to articulate colors to you but super trusted your aesthetic (....I literally refused to provide you with colors essentially, ha!....) and somehow you nailed it....more beautiful than I ever thought it could be [β¦] Thanks again for everything, you were wonderful!β

βA longer note is coming your way in the coming weeks - but in the meantime.....a huge THANK YOU for everything you did for us!! The flowers were seriously absolutely perfect. I was and still am obsessed with them.β

"Fran, believe it or not you seriously exceeded the expectations of your #1 fan! Your work was incredible at the wedding. The flowers were absolutely beautiful. The venue setup was above and beyond what I had imagined when we teamed up. The flowers for me and the bridesmaids were the most amazing that I have ever ever seen. You seriously made my wedding day complete and I couldnt be more grateful! Your talent and unique style is unmatched."

"Oh my god. The flowers were perfect. Better than I could have ever even hoped for. Literally perfect exactly what I wanted. Everyone was commenting on how beautiful they were. I can't thank you enough!!!"

βBrad and I cannot thank you enough for the most beautiful flowers. Honestly, the minute I saw the venue set up I was in tears. Everything was exactly how I imagined it! We love you so much and canβt wait for our friendship to flourish.β

"You are the kindest, most creative and incredible florist ever!!! The flowers for my wedding were stunning! I could not be happier! The centerpieces were magical and our bouquets were so lovely! The ceremony archway was breathtaking. I've gotten so many compliments on your floral arrangements. Thank you for making my day so beautiful and for everything you did!"

βFran provided us with gorgeous centerpieces, reception/ceremony decorations, and flowers for our cake. Everything was breathtaking and set the mood for our wedding. I have gotten so many compliments on how beautiful and inviting our spaces were, which is all thanks to Fran and her creative vision. She was so easy to work with as she took my ideas and opinions into consideration, while giving her own opinion on what would look best. I absolutely recommend!β
