Branching Out is a bespoke floral design team based in the Chicago suburbs serving all of Chicagoland and beyond.
Specializing in weddings, and social occasions, our talented design team brings a casual, understated elegance to everything we touch. From high-style to rustic and laid back, let us take your vision and make it a fabulous reality. Whether you are planning a wedding for 30 or 300, or the most luxe Gala our goal is always the same:
We leave your guests raving about the look and you delighted by our service.
As an event florist, we are there for you every step of the way. We will guide you through the design process to make sure that you get the look and feel that you have in mind while paying attention to your budget. The team personally sets up your event from the entry to the dessert buffet then comes back to make it all disappear when your event is over.
You dream it, we make it happen!
Christine
She is the force behind all this. For 30 years Christine has been tracking the trends in weddings as the irreverent voice of Think Like A Bride. Possessed by a love of beauty and an eye for design she turned her thoughts and life to flowers 15 years ago and never looked back.
Her relaxed Southern style instantly puts brides at ease. Bring her your vision and she can make your dreams come true.
Kevin
Well, he rules the back office. Kevin is our very own Blooming Nerd and co-owner with Christine. Looking for a simpler life, after 40 years running IT for Fortune 500 companies, he made the leap to business owner. He is also a big part of our fabrication team. If we need it, he and Justin can probably build it.

Christie
I don’t think Christie would know what to do if flowers weren’t a part of her life! Since high school, she has been working in floral design in the Chicago area. Christie left a long career working as a retail florist to have more time with her kiddos. If there is anything she doesn’t know about flowers, she knows where to find it. As lead designer and manager she keeps us all on track.
~she would have a hobby but she has a son in high school and a daughter in grade school, so mostly she just drives
Justin
Our propmaster! Creative and inventive, Justin thinks outside of the box. If we need it built, figured out, or crafted, Justin will find a way. His organization and perfectionist attention to detail guarantees we never arrive on site without exactly what we need.
