Bloom Bar & Flower Cart Rental in Chicago
Chicago Bloom
Bar Experience
A guest-led bouquet activity: guests choose flowers and make a take-home bouquet. Planning starts with your guest count, floral palette and how the activity fits your event schedule.
Florals are separate from the rental and can be sourced by you or discussed for ordering through our wholesale partners. Delivery is an additional charge; confirm staffing and setup responsibilities in your quote.

Plan the Guest Experience
Start With Your Event Flow
Share an estimated guest count and when people are likely to visit the station. That helps shape a practical bouquet flow and a floral quantity conversation; the right plan depends on your schedule and how many guests are expected to make a bouquet.
Bring a palette, event colors or a few visual references. Florals are not included in the cart rental: you can source them separately, or ask about help ordering through wholesale partners. Flower varieties and quantities should be confirmed for your event rather than assumed from a fixed stem recommendation.
Decide whether guests will visit all at once or throughout the event, and who will guide the station. Any florist coordination, attendant or other staffing responsibilities must be confirmed in the quote.
A Planning Conversation
Map the Bouquet Flow
Estimate participation
Share your guest count and whether everyone is expected to take part. Confirm how many bouquets and bags to plan for.
Choose a palette
Describe your event colors and preferences. Confirm floral sourcing, selection and quantities separately from the cart rental.
Set the timing
Decide when the station is open and how guests move through it. Confirm any florist, setup or attendant responsibilities in the quote.
Flowers & Palette
Plan the Florals Separately
The cart is the guest-facing station for selecting stems. Florals are not included in the rental, so decide who will source them: you may bring flowers from your florist or ask about ordering through our wholesale partners.
Share a preferred palette, any flower preferences and your estimated participant count when requesting a quote. Floral sourcing and quantity are separately discussed and priced; no fixed stem count is assumed here.
If another florist is supplying the stems, confirm who will receive, condition, arrange and replenish them, and when. Responsibilities for florals and station staffing should be documented in the quote.
Venue & Access
Make Room for the Activity
Choose a location where guests can approach, select a bag, make a bouquet and leave without blocking an entrance, service route or other event activity. Share the venue floor plan or a marked placement photo if available.
Include the venue address, access window, load-in route, stairs or elevator, parking and any delivery restrictions in your planning notes. Confirm delivery timing, setup and breakdown responsibilities directly in the quote.
Check with the venue about access, floor protection and where equipment may be staged. Delivery is charged separately; its availability and logistics depend on the event details.

Venue & Operations
Confirm the Practical Details
Before the event, confirm where the station can be placed and how guests will approach and exit it. For a busy program, consider when the station should open and whether visits should be staggered.
Ask the venue about the delivery window, loading access, parking, stairs or elevator, and any restrictions on deliveries or setup. A clear route and placement plan helps the team confirm what can be arranged.
Delivery is charged separately. Confirm the delivery address, timing, setup and breakdown arrangements in the quote. If a florist or event attendant is involved, clarify who handles each task; staffing scope must be confirmed rather than assumed.

Bloom bars and flower carts: planning answers
Is the flower cart the same as a complete bouquet-making package?
The cart is the physical display; a bouquet-making activity also needs flowers, supplies and a plan for guest use. Confirm what is supplied in your selected quote. Different page descriptions do not by themselves establish separate staffed or unstaffed packages.
What helps you plan flowers for a bloom bar?
Share the guest count, activity timing, color ideas and venue layout. Ask about flower sourcing, bouquet supplies, replenishment and staffing. Flowers and delivery must not be assumed to be included in a base cart rental.
