Shelly Rothstein - Founder and Lead Event Planner
Creative ventures and event planning have always been my passion. I received my BS degree in Journalism & Mass Communications, and an MS in Integrated Marketing Communications. After my university years I joined Alloy Media & Marketing in Chicago (formerly CASS), the largest young adult marketing firm in the US. I launched youth marketing campaigns, nationwide events, spring break tours, college concerts, movie screenings and promotions for clients such as Wrigley, P&G brands, Qwest Communications, Discover Card, Panera, Chicago Tribune and Follett.

My love for floral design began in high school at a north suburban florist in Chicago. There I learned everything from processing flowers to designing bouquets. After high school, I headed to Arizona to study business and communications. While living out west, I became versed in a variety of design aesthetics as I worked alongside some of the most talented floral designers and event planners.
Naomi Lobatto - Partner, Fine Decor, Details and Event Planner
I'm originally from Amsterdam and relocated to the U.S. in 2006 with my husband and our two daughters. I have a degree in marketing & finance, and got into the planning business by working first for an event company and subsequently in marketing for the travel industry.
After living in New York for eight years, I moved to Chicago and instantly fell in love with the Windy City.
