Hi 👋🏻 I’m Katherine!
I’m the proud Founder and Owner of 🌸 Fancy Flower Girls!
Years ago, I had a dream to work with flowers. I’ve always loved flowers and over the years, really started to rapidly increase my appreciation for florist quality flowers that you would usually only see at events like weddings. When I found out that a lot of these flowers are only available to florists, I wanted to create a company that could help bridge the gap for my local community and be able to provide flower lovers with access to these special, unique flower varieties.
I started by growing a lot of flowers in our Fancy Flower Girls local gardens in Palatine and over the past 5 years, I’ve grown roses, heirloom mums, peonies, dahlias, specialty tulips, lisianthus, zinnias, sunflowers, ranunculus, anemone and more!
I believe all flowers are beautiful, and also have a wonderful group of vendors that I love to work with who can source quality flowers for me from all over the world! 🌎
Running Fancy Flower Girls is not my full-time job. I’m also a Mom of two Beautiful Princesses 💕 and have been an IT professional for almost 20 years. As a Florist, I’m self taught and have followed countless master florists throughout the years to pickup the floral craft.
Not only am I a florist - I’m a website designer, order gatherer, customer service agent, main point of contact, procurement specialist, logistics coordinator, organizer, planner, contract manager, billing specialist, marketing guru, social media lead, relationship builder, and so much more!
Over the years, I’ve built a small team to work with with me through busy times - like events, flower workshops, picking thousands of tulips!
I don’t operate like normal florists, where I have giant coolers filled with flowers every week. I’m a home based business and work with customers on custom requests! 💗
If you’d like to work with me, the best place to start is to send me a message! If you’re looking to plan an event, reach out to me so that I can get you on our busy schedule!
Thank you for supporting my Flower Dream! 🌸
