About VÉRA ELITE GROUP

Traci

Creative Director

VÉRA Elite Group is a Chicago-based wedding planning, floral design, and event décor studio creating celebrations that feel personal, intentional, and completely original. With 25+ years of experience, we design the entire environment—from planning and floor plans to florals, installations, tablescapes, furniture, lighting, and final styling. We start with how you want the day to feel, then build every detail around you. Whether you need full-service planning, floral and décor design, or complete venue transformation, VÉRA brings the vision, strategy, and production experience to make it unforgettable.

What sets VÉRA apart is that we don’t see your wedding as separate pieces—we see the entire experience. With over 25 years in planning, floral, beauty, hospitality, and event production, I understand how every decision impacts the room, the timeline, the budget, and ultimately your guests. I can walk into a blank space and bring the vision to life: floor plan, florals, furniture, lighting, tablescapes, installations, and flow. I’m fiercely budget-conscious, knowing where to invest and scale back to create maximum impact. No cookie-cutter weddings. No design for design’s sake. Everything starts with you.

1000/10
From our very first conversation, Traci understood what I was trying to create—even when I couldn’t completely explain it myself. I had inspiration photos, random ideas, colors I loved, and absolutely no idea how to pull everything together. Somehow, she took all of it and turned it into something even more beautiful than what I had imagined. What makes Vera different is that they don’t just think about flowers. Traci sees the entire room—the florals, candlelight, tables, ceremony, placement, scale, flow and all of those little details you don’t realize matter until you see everything together. Walking into our reception for the first time honestly took my breath away. It felt like us, just elevated beyond anything we could have created ourselves. Our guests kept asking who designed everything, and the flowers were absolutely unreal. Traci also understands weddings from the production side, which made such a difference. She anticipated things we never would have thought about, worked seamlessly with our other vendors, and handled the details so we could actually enjoy our wedding instead of worrying about what was happening behind the scenes. If you’re looking for someone who will simply copy a Pinterest picture, VERA/GWE probably isn’t for you. If you want someone who will listen to you, understand your vision, and then create something completely personal and unforgettable—hire VERA. I would choose them again without hesitation.

Magical
From our first conversation with Tracy at Véra Elite Group Chicago, we knew we had found the right florist. She responded quickly to every question and really understood what we were looking for, even when we had very specific requests. Tracy didn't just create the flowers we wanted – she thought about the lighting and overall feel of the space to make sure everything worked together perfectly. The ambience on our wedding day was better than we could have imagined, and that was because of her attention to detail. We also appreciated that she limits her client list so she can give each couple the time and care they deserve. The quality of her work was absolutely worth the investment, and we can't recommend her enough.

10/10 — gave us the wedding of our dreams.
We got married at a planetarium, and VÉRA made it absolutely magical. From the start, they were incredible. We basically just gave them a mood board, and they took care of everything else—every detail, every vendor, every design choice. We didn’t have to worry about literally anything. It was completely stress-free. The planetarium setting was already amazing, but what they did with the floral design and lighting was stunning. They customized everything to fit us perfectly, and it felt so personal. And then Ed Sheeran showed up—it was so lovely and surreal. Our guests are still talking about it. If you’re looking for a team that will make your wedding effortless, beautiful, and unforgettable, hire VÉRA. Totally worth the price. They can customize everything, and she even handles floral design and lighting. Absolutely amazing.

VÉRA ELITE the Team You Want Behind Your Wedding
I originally knew Traci through her old company and seeing what she has built with VÉRA ELITE GROUP makes complete sense. She has always been so much more than a wedding planner. Traci is the person you want behind the scenes on your wedding day. She sees everything—the design, florals, timeline, vendors, setup, production, budget, and all of those tiny details you don’t even realize need to be handled. She anticipates problems before they become problems and somehow keeps everything moving while making you feel like everything is completely under control. What makes her different is how invested she becomes in the entire experience. You never feel like you’re just another wedding on her calendar. She listens, remembers what matters to you, advocates for you, and will figure something out when everyone else is telling you it can’t be done. Now with VÉRA ELITE GROUP, she has brought planning, design, floral, beauty, and event production together, which honestly feels like what she was meant to be doing all along. Instead of hiring people who only understand their individual piece of the wedding, you have someone overseeing how the entire experience comes together. If you’re considering VÉRA ELITE for your wedding, event, florals, or production, hire them. Having Traci in your corner is one of those decisions you’ll be grateful you made long after the wedding is over.
