With over 20 years of experience as a floral designer, owner Megan Musschoot, decided it was time to carve out a space in the industry for something a little different, opening Pistil & Vine in early 2011. Taking subtle cues from her clients, she maintains a style that pushes the limits creatively with unexpected “in-the-moment” combinations and botanical elements that are sourced for the season. Her intuitive designs have landed most commonly in feature films, television set design, global incentive programs, intimate weddings and private residences. Focusing heavily on her relationships with local purveyors and the community in which she built her business, she finds value in offering her time and contributions to her peers and local charities such as Chicago Survivors, NAMI Chicago, Lakeview Pantry, The Greater Chicago Food Depository and The Night Ministry.
