Lovely Bastian, Owner and Lead Designer (she/her/hers)
Since launching May Floral in 2014, our priorities have been attention to detail, creativity and professionalism. My approach is friendly and collaborative, and our floral designs strive to find the delicate balance of being natural and whimsical while also feeling refined and elegant.
I consider it a privilege to be a part of some of life’s most cherished moments. I take on a limited number of events each year with the goal of exceeding expectations and providing our clients (and their guests) memorable, beautiful floral designs. I am personally involved in all steps of the floral planning process from the consultation, to the sourcing of your flowers and supplies from around the world, to the setting of tables.
In my free time, I love to travel, read, try new restaurants and visit gardens and museums. I live in Evanston with my spouse and rescue dog, Reba.
I hope to be a part of your celebration!

Our Process
simple yet individualized steps to flowers that set the celebratory mood of your wedding day
-
Provide basic information about your wedding (date, location, etc.) by completing our inquiry form. Within 24 hours, you will receive an email response.
-
We schedule a virtual or in person meeting to discuss your vision, requirements and ideas and answer any questions you may have.
-
After our consultation, we create and send a personalized proposal that includes mood boards, pricing and description of services.
-
Upon your approval of the proposal, we sign an agreement and send you an invoice for a 25% deposit to reserve your wedding date.
-
Four to 6 weeks prior to your wedding date, we meet again to confirm final details (e.g., delivery times, table counts) and provide you with a final floral plan and an invoice for your final balance.
-
Finally, during the week of your wedding, we work to bring your vision to life. We handle the delivery, set up of ceremony and reception, and return for late night pick up of all of the rentals.
