Breanne Fuelling

I am the owner of Floral Excellence!

My name is Breanne Fuelling and I adore flowers. I come from a long line of flower lovers. I was born into Southern California and have grown up in the Bartlett area most of my life. I'm a wife for a decade plus to Michael Fuelling, Lead Pastor of Village Church of Bartlett. I'm a mom to three wonderful children for 9 years! I'm a licensed clinical professional counselor and have used the art of counseling and continue to help people bring beauty into their own hearts and lives for 10 years. I'm a wedding and event coordinator for 13 years and have loved working alongside clients to reveal the beauty of their moments. AND NOW I am the OWNER of Floral Excellence!

Owning a floral shop has always been on my agenda for my retirement. Thanks to Jamie, I'm starting early (without the retirement). I believe beauty and redemption are all around us. Flowers and gifts are the happiest of reminders of this truth no matter the day.

Our goal at Floral Excellence is to help you flourish and bring beauty to your every day. For your happy times. For your sad times. For your 'I love yous'. For your 'I'm sorrys'. For every day.

We can't wait to meet so many of you, hear your stories, and create something beautiful for you.

Jamie Best
Shop Manager, Lead Designer

Hello! My name is Jamie Best and I am truly excited to be Lead Floral Designer! Floral design is a true passion for me, a place of peace, creativity and joy while I arrange, design and envision.

I love everything floral! The different colors, textures, shapes and fragrances along with combining natural elements. It is my goal in design that each one tell their own story, express the sender’s emotions which create lasting impressions for the recipients. The impact of a vase of daisies or a bouquet of roses during a bad day can remind one they are loved and thought of.

In my years of experience, my range of work spans from weddings to corporate, philanthropic events along with retail, spas and restaurant spaces. From conception to delivery, our focus remains on quality, beauty and ingenuity.

Bringing beauty to your everyday! In just one year, Breanne has taken us from a small design studio to our newest storefront location where we have enjoyed meeting our new neighbors, partnering with local businesses and the workshops we both host at our shop or bring to the assisted living communities. I’m very excited to see what’s to come as we continue to grow!

I am a proud graduate of The Chicago School of Floral Design, both General and Master’s certified, taught and mentored by Michael Gaffney "florist to the stars".

Last, but certainly not least, I have a most wonderful husband, Mike and together we have a beautifully blended family of 5 wonderful children from 24 to 10 years old along with two precious grandsons who have taken over our hearts (and most of our home)!

Thank you for taking the time to get to know us here at Floral Excellence and we look forward telling your story through your next order!

Tiah Ciganek
Designer

My name is Tiah Ciganek. I absolutely love flowers and creating arrangements that bring joy to people. I grew up in a small town in Indiana, but in 2012 my husband Robby and I moved to Illinois and we have loved our town and community ever since.

My background is in public relations, event planning, marketing and sales. Being a part of Floral Excellence has given me the opportunity create beautiful arrangements that put a smile on anyone's face no matter what they are going through.

I have always wanted to work at a flower shop because flowers have always brought life to my soul. Floral Excellence has given me an excitement and zeal to work hard and create and environment that brings joy to everyone who walks in or orders one of our incredible arrangements.
