K L A Design

We had the good fortune to be introduced to KLA designs by our wedding planner Chrissy at Big city brides Kate was amazing she got our thoughts right away the romantic wedding for our daughter. Every detail was fabulous from the tree holding the place cards to the orchid trees to the eclectic table designs. The wedding was held in the same venue so the wedding had a piece of art as our back drop a flower wall made of paper and moss. Magical! All of her staff were great. The bouquets were even changeable down to the last hour. I highly recommend Kate at KLA they were the best

My husband and I used Kate for our wedding sept 14, 2013 at the Chicago History Museum. Kate did an absolutely fabulous job. She came at the recommendation of our wedding planner, Chrissy, from Big City Bride. Kate knew that I wanted a country/​rustic theme to be carried out through cocktail hour and the reception.
She created chic and elegant couches out of hay (yes out of hay), cocktail tables out of old window frames and barn doors, and end tables out of old whiskey barrels. It was quite an amazing sight to see a country lounge in the middle of north ave and clark downtown Chicago. She carried out our vision on the inside with the florals for the reception as well. I will upload some pictures, because words do not do it justice. Thank you Kate for all of your hard work. You deserve 5 stars.

DO NOT LET THE SMALL AMOUNT OF REVIEWS FOOL YOU… Kate is AMAZING!!! Our wedding planner introduced us to Kate, and I could not be more pleased. She is a pleasure to work with and you can tell that not only is she great at her craft, but she truly listens to what you want and works with your vision. The showing we had was almost spot on to the ideas that we had discussed, and she used our comments to create exactly what we wanted for our Wedding. The morning after my dad said «One lady I never really got to know was the florist, what a shame because she did an outstanding job»… I could not agree more. Our centerpieces were nothing less than spectacular. But more than that, she adorned our cake to make it look stunning! Also, due to the head, my husbands flower began to wilt; no worries, Kate was there to change it so it was fresh and gorgeous for the reception! She also provided a flower for my hair, a bouquet to toss so I could keep mine and small yet perfect flowers for the cocktail hour area and the washroom. I have been staring at our pictures and am still in awe that those pictures of the centerpieces aren’t from some magazine, but are the ones Kate specifically designed for us. Thank you so much Kate!

Kate came highly recommended to us by our wedding planner, and we could not have been more thrilled. From the very first time my husband and our moms visited her studio, I knew we were in extremely capable hands. To be honest, at that point I’d be hard pressed to point out the difference between a peony and a hydrangea, and had never even heard of succulents and scabiosa pods. I brought in a few of photos that I thought were «pretty» and not only did Kate listen patiently as I tried to articulate (or more like fumbled around) the «feel» that we were trying to go for, but she was able to make that vision come true while being respectful of our budget.
Kate beautifully arranged three different style centerpieces (of varying heights and materials), bouquets for 8 bridesmaids and me, all the personal flowers for the groomsmen and family members, as well as all the detail pieces scattered throughout the ceremony and reception at the Chicago Cultural Center. Her work was incredibly stunning, honestly more than we could have hoped for! But more than that — as most brides can attest to — what differentiates the good from great vendors is the level of professionalism. Our wedding took place the same weekend that the City of Chicago hosted the NATO summit and we were more than anxious about what kinds of trouble we were going to encounter logistically. But Kate and her team arrived early, tracked down everyone to make sure they had whichever pieces they need, and worked flawlessly with our venue and other vendor. It was really a joy to have Kate on board and would highly recommend her services.

With the help of our wedding planner Lindsay Stein Cohen from Designer Event Chicago, we found Kate with K. LA design for our florist. I can’t possibly tell you how beautiful everything truly was. I went into our first appointment, not exactly sure what I wanted, but showed Kate some general pictures. I didn’t even have colors picked out at the first appointment. All I really knew for sure is that I wanted succulents incorporated somehow. She helped me nail down our wedding colors and provided us with the perfect flowers for our wedding day. She also stuck to our budget and gave us everything we wanted and more.
