Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes, we specialize in custom silk floral arrangements for both home decor and cemetery or memorial settings. Custom orders start at tiered price points depending on size, botanical selections, and overall design. We work with you individually - either closely step-by-step or fully independently based on your preference - to select the perfect flower types and color palettes for your space or tribute. To get started, visit our dedicated Custom Orders page to submit your request.
-
Yes, we design durable, weather-resistant silk floral arrangements specifically tailored for cemetery headstones, saddles, and grave site vases. Built with sturdy, non-glass bases, our arrangements hold up beautifully outdoors across changing seasons without fading or requiring maintenance.
-
Yes, we ship directly to hospitals and offer local hand-delivery. Because our silk arrangements are 100% pollen-free, hypoallergenic, and crafted in shatterproof bases, they comply with most ICU and hospital safety policies.
Direct Shipping & Timing: We ship via USPS Ground or UPs Ground (5-7 business days transit). Custom designs typically require 7-10 days, though we aim to craft and ship within 24-48 hours whenever possible. Please include the hospital address, recipient’s full name, and room number at checkout.
Hospital Acceptance Disclaimer: Each hospital, ICU, and specific unit floor enforces its own visitation and gift policies. We strongly encourage checking with hospital staff, a charge nurse, or family members prior to ordering to ensure deliveries are accepted on that specific floor. KMT Flowers is not responsible for arrangements turned away by facility staff.
Local Hand-Delivery (Aurora Area): Hand-delivery is available for $15 within 20 miles of Aurora, IL.
Chicagoland Group Delivery Option: We provide free hand-delivery to any single hospital facility in the Chicagoland area for group or bundle orders of 10 or more arrangements.
-
Yes! Because our arrangements are crafted using high-quality artificial silk botanicals, the flowers themselves contain zero natural plant pollen or floral scents. They provide a beautiful, long-lasting alternative to fresh blooms for individuals with severe pollen allergies, asthma, or respiratory sensitivities, and are fully compliant with hospital and ICU safety rules where real flowers are restricted.

KMT Flowers was born out of deep love, personal experience, and purpose. KMT stands for Kayden Michele Tanner - my daughter.
As a heart mom, I spent years sleeping on ICU couches during Kayden’s heart transplant journey and spent over a decade navigating immunocompromised care. I managed central lines, IVs, and critical medical care, earning deep trust of hospital medical staff. I spent my life within those hospital walls, protecting my child with everything I had.
That exact level of care, devotion, and attention to detail goes into every single arrangement we make:
Built on Real ICU & Allergy Experience: Having lived in hospital settings, I understand firsthand the strict safety needs, infection controls, and emotional toll of hospital stays. Every silk floral design is crafted to be hypoallergenic, pollen-free, and safe in rooms where real flowers aren’t permitted.
A Mission to Bring Light: KMT Flowers is my love, my grief, and my daughter’s memory made visible. My goal is simple: to lighten heavy moments, bring a piece of sunshine to families navigating difficult seasons, and let Kayden’s light shine bright so everyone can see it.
When you purchase from KMT Flowers, you aren’t just buying decor - you are receiving an arrangement made with genuine heart, care, and understanding of someone who has walked a similar path.
