Four Finches, as seen on their website.
Recently, I met the creative folks at Four Finches, a flower shop in Evanston. Okay, to call it a flower shop is missing the point. Sarah, the owner, has transformed a warehouse space into an alluring oasis of flowers, antiques, gifts, birds, candy, and about a thousand other beautiful items. I could spend hours in there looking at the pretty things.
I’ve also worked with her on a wedding and loved her floral arrangements. I think part of the reason she can do such beautiful work is because she is committed to doing only one wedding or major event per weekend. I noticed when I first met her how focused she is on the wedding she is working on at the moment. She did not miss a detail. And, for all that, her prices are very competitive.
When I visited the shop, Sarah showed me some of the new flowers she is trying out, including a purple clematis and flowering amaranth. I expect to see original arrangements out of her shop because she is always trying out new things. For those who want sustainable flowers, it’s not her primary focus, but on request she will find local and organic flowers.
If you need flowers for an occasion (or nice cards or gifts or…), take a peek at Four Finches. Oh, and there really are finches in the shop, just usually more than four of them.
