Flowers with purpose.
Beautiful, custom arrangements — handcrafted by adults with developmental disabilities who are learning, working, and shining. Every bouquet you order helps write someone's story.
Made with heart 🌿
How It Works
Custom-made, just for you
We're not a grab-and-go shop. We're a custom-order studio — so every arrangement is created fresh, with care, after we confirm your vision.
Tell us your vision
Submit a quick order request — colors, occasion, budget, and pickup or delivery.
We approve & create
Our team reviews your request and confirms the details. Only then do we buy fresh flowers and begin designing — so nothing is wasted and everything is made just for you.
Joy, delivered
Pick up your arrangement or have it delivered locally — made by hands that are proud of every petal.
Our team runs the whole shoppe, front to back — taking your order, choosing the flowers, designing the arrangement, and hand-lettering your message card. Every order also comes with a personalized thank-you card. 💛
Made by Our Team
The girls make every arrangement 💛
This isn't a factory or a wholesaler. Every bouquet is created — start to finish — by adults with developmental disabilities, working alongside our support staff. They choose the flowers, trim the stems, build the design, and hand-letter your card. When you order, this is who you're cheering on.
Our Flowers
What we love to make 💐
Starting prices reflect a standard size in seasonal flowers. Most everyday orders are designer's choice — you share the colors and the feeling you want, and we surprise you with something one-of-a-kind from the freshest blooms that day. Don't see exactly what you imagined? That's our favorite kind of order.

About Our Mission
Every bouquet tells a story
Be Yourself Flower Shoppe is a product of The Be Yourself Group and the Forever Friends Foundation — and it exists because of Forever Friends Foundation, whose support makes a venture like this possible. Here, adults with developmental disabilities don't just spend the day — they run the whole shoppe, front to back. They take the orders, pick out the flowers, design every arrangement, and hand-letter every card. They earn experience, confidence, and a paycheck for real work.
And you receive something rare: flowers made entirely by hand — and entirely with heart. Give flowers. Grow futures.
Meet Our Floral Team
The hands behind the flowers
Behind every bouquet is a person who poured their heart into it. These are our designers at work — building skills, confidence, and pride with every arrangement. (Names & stories added with each person's and family's permission.)
Proud of every petal
From the first stem to the finished vase, our designers create each arrangement by hand — and beam with pride when it's done.
Every stem with care
Choosing colors, trimming stems, building the shape — real skills, learned and practiced on real orders for real customers.
Made with joy
This is meaningful, paid work — and it shows. Every order is a chance to grow, contribute, and shine.

Frequently asked questions
How does ordering work?
Submit an order request online. Our team reviews it, confirms the details and price with you, and only then purchases fresh flowers and begins designing. This keeps every arrangement custom and waste-free.
How much lead time do you need?
Please allow at least 3–5 days for standard arrangements and 4–8 weeks for weddings and large events. Need something sooner? Ask — we'll always try.
Do you deliver?
Yes — locally to Naperville, Aurora, Oswego, Plainfield, Montgomery, and surrounding areas, for a delivery fee based on distance. Pickup by appointment is always free.
How do I pay?
After we confirm your order, we'll send a secure payment link or invoice. Events require a deposit to reserve your date.
Who makes the arrangements?
Adults with developmental disabilities — our floral team — working alongside trained support staff and a lead designer. Your flowers are made with real skill and real heart.
Can I pick the exact flowers and vase?
For everyday orders — birthdays, anniversaries, "just because" — we design designer's choice. You tell us the colors and the feeling you're going for and where you want to end up, and our team creates something one-of-a-kind from the freshest flowers available that day. We can't promise a specific flower or vase every time — and honestly, that's part of what makes each arrangement special and fun. Of course, share any must-haves, please-avoids, and allergies and we'll do our best! (For weddings & events, we plan the specific details with you in advance.)
How can I support beyond buying flowers?
Volunteer, sponsor a designer, donate flowers, or give through Forever Friends Foundation. Every bit helps us grow.
