Originally hailing from New Jersey, Adina moved to Chicago after college and tried her hand as a baker, book seller and copy editor before finding a new home at her favorite floral shop, Asrai Garden. There, she learned that flower design can be more than roses and carnations (though we love those, too!), and she found her calling.

Over the next 10 years, she honed her skills as a designer, floral buyer and large-scale event coordinator. Her approach to floral design is fluid and natural, allowing the materials themselves to help dictate the shape of each arrangement.

Through unexpected floral combinations and an editorial eye, she strives to surprise and delight by interpreting your vision through her unique perspective.

Eddie May, a Chicagoland native, has had a passion for Hospitality for as long as he can remember. Over the years, he has seen and mastered a little bit of everything, from managing bars to consulting on restaurant openings and contributing to cocktail menus at some of the best spots in the city.

Eddie has his ear to the pulse of what is new and fresh in the cocktail world, and he’s always pushing boundaries with exciting and unique flavor combinations.

He enjoys making things from any and all spirits but has a soft spot for anything agave! Maybe you just need a batch of really good margaritas for a friend's birthday, or maybe it’s an entire bar program for your wedding— Eddie is here to help take your event to the next level.

In 2018, Adina and Eddie combined their passions to form Bottles & Bouquets. Since then, they’ve executed events in Chicago, New Jersey, Western Illinois, Vermont and Colorado.

No matter the event, Adina and Eddie approach their work collaboratively. You can find Eddie on top of a ladder installing floral arrangements in hard-to-reach places, and catch Adina behind the bar, prepping glassware and garnishes at late night events.

Together, they are unstoppable– as pool co-champions, puppy parents, home owners and life partners. And of course, as designers and co-founders of Bottles & Bouquets.
