I can't tell you how much I love this flower shop! You will never want to purchase flowers anywhere else after you have been here. You may not even want to leave the shop! Marc and his crew created the most flowers for our wedding party. I also purchased flowers the day before the wedding because I wanted to put something together myself for the reception. We purchased victorian roses which are miniature looking. They smell wonderful! I went with my sister in law who is having her wedding in Boston next year. She has now chosen her flower of choice since seeing it at the shop. Marc also brought the flowers to the church and while my wedding party and myself were late, he waited to pin all the flowers on everyone and give the bridal party their bouquets. All the flowers were delivered in a lovely presentation. Marc, thank you so much to you and your staff. You have a great shop. I will purchase my flowers from Bunches from now on. I highly recommend stopping in to see for yourself. read more

Hired Marc and Bunches for my wedding. While it was a simple wedding, they did an outstanding job on wedding party flowers and reception centerpieces. Above and beyond what I expected. Simple elegance. PERFECT!! The beauty of this business was they actually listened to what I wanted. As a bride, that is what you need! I have done many special events and been disappointed with arrangements, from now on, I will recommend Bunches, guaranteed beauty. read more

Love this local shop! Super friendly staff. They have a great selection of flowers and make the most beautiful arrangements. Even more, they have free plants that you can adopt with purchase. I would highly recommend checking them out! read more

Marc and Carole created the most beautiful and touching arrangement for a child's memorial service. It was graceful and lovely with just the right amount of whimsy and playfulness to perfectly convey our sentiments. We cannot thank them enough for all of the extra effort they went through to meet our specific (and rather unique) requests, while also adding in their expertise to make the creation so perfectly beautiful. We are truly grateful that they cared so much and went the extra mile for us. We would use them again in the future without hesitation. read more

Through my job, we were planning a large meeting (over 1300 attendees!) from out of town at the Hilton Chicago. When it came time to look for a florist, I had explored my options and chose to work with Bunches and I am so glad I did! With our meeting we had so many moving pieces, parts and stakeholders to manage, and Bunches exceeded the expectations with all of these. Jason and his team ensured that our meal centerpieces were set up well in advance, that our room drops were dropped off through the hotel, and also ensured that all of our requests were met. The arrangements were absolutely gorgeous and our attendees were huge fans! Additionally, Bunches paid great attention to our details to ensure our specific needs were met. I hope that one day I get to work with them again if I ever find myself in Chicago for another event. Highly recommended! read more

Wavered between a 4 and 5 star review here but went with 5 because they were so quick and helpful and were able to help me get something lovely for my girlfriend! The downside to it being quick was that I did feel a bit rushed, but I'm sure if I had asked for more time I'd have been helped with the same friendly helpfulness! Now, about Bunches - this isn't a real traditional flower shop where you walk in and there are random arrangements of flowers ready to go. So, for just stopping to grab some flowers for someone, this isn't what many are used to thinking of. They charge for flowers by the stem and you can basically pick stems of whatever flowers you want and make your own arrangement. They're super helpful, however, so if you go in with an idea of what you want (fall colors, a specific flower type, occasion) they'll be able to help you without a doubt. Just don't go in expecting to just grab a bouquet and be done with it - but the slightly extra effort is well worth it! read more

I ordered a bouquet from their website for my partner, and Marc (the owner) exceeded my expectations! The orchids and lilies Marc chose for the arrangement were so vibrant and alive that they literally brought my partner to tears. Not only that, but Marc arranged the flowers so artistically that my partner claims she couldn't have done a better job herself (and that's saying something cause she works in the arts!). Overall, it was a smooth, easy experience for an order that was masterfully executed. Definitely will order from Marc again. read more

"NO" to Bunches A Flower Shop for funeral flower wreath. The final result was hurtful and disappointing. The size of the wreath was painfully too small! The small family wreath, not the size we discussed in the salon, not the size I agreed to, not the size I ordered, was displayed in the funeral home. The cream ribbon covered in impossible to comprehend melange of gold writing was unreadable and unsuited for a funeral. I came in to this beautiful flower shop Friday morning to order a funeral flower arrangment for my mother-in-law's funeral scheduled for Monday morning. The gentleman who was assisting me was very helpful and pointed out a beautiful rose wreath design, which I considered to be too small. He introduced a bigger in diameter option, which we agreed on. He also assisted me with the appropriate ribbon quote selections. read more

Bunches - They built my arrangement around this beautiful flower!!! - Florists Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Picked up an anniversary arrangement for my wife. They Did a really nice job and arrangement was beautiful and aromatic All great until flowers had basically died off 4 days later. For 140$ would have hoped for ha bit more life to it. Typically arrangements like this typically run 7-10 days. Not sure why but was disappointed read more

The staff was so kind and attentive. Really took time to help us pick out a plant, replanted it for us in a different pot and made sure it was perfect! Will definitely be going back! 100% recommend! read more

By far this is the best floral shop in Chicago. The staff is wonderful, and Jim is a delight to work with. He is going to do the flowers for my wedding this October. Everything I have seen is so beautiful. It's worth the trip into the store. Update...the flowers for my wedding were awesome. They made the room look so wonderful. All of my guests commented on how long the flowers stayed alive long after the wedding. And I might say, ask for the monkey tails, they were a huge hit, and add a great touch to a fall wedding!!! Best place to get flowers in all of Chicago!!! read more

Great service! In and out quickly. The staff was able to pick out an assortment that made my girl smile. That's all that matters.....

I love their flowers and the owners are great. They have a gift for colorful, unusual floral creations and I think their prices are reasonable as florists go. read more

Jason did the flowers for our wedding last week and we are so impressed by his amazing work! He was extremely pleasant to work with and was very accommodating to our ideas. We changed our mind about our center pieces halfway through the planning process and Jason embraced our new idea and created beautiful arrangements on our wedding day. Not only were our centerpieces breathtaking, all our bouquets were just as amazing! They had the perfect balance of variety and color, and were the perfect compliment to our dresses! We would recommend Jason and Bunches to anyone for any occasion! read more

Don't bother going somewhere else for flowers. I have been using Bunches for my floral needs for years. Phillip is an amazing person that really helps you get the most for your buck by creating the most beautiful arrangements. They specialize in whatever you need as well from wreaths to corsages. read more

omgosh, if you haven't been here, go! marc is the owner, and he's about as fabulous as they come. the only thing *more* fabulous are the flowers, and the way he arranges them. it makes you want to buy his entire inventory and smother your every square foot of home w/flowers. no joke. i live in the neighborhood, so i like to stop in on my walks (my little dogs are always welcome, which they love - so much to smell!) and get something colorful for the house. my very favorite, though, is when the hubs wanders in. usually to be sweet, but even if it's to say he's sorry, i won't lie: the fight was usually worth it when i get the beautiful flowers from bunches @ the end. and, he feels like a pro because he picks out the flowers he likes, and marc or one of his awesome florists turns his choices into the most beautiful bouquet ever - a win for all. i'll say it bunches of times - go to bunches! read more

We rarely keep flowers at home because often one of our birds will eat them. So when my sisters' daughter was born and I saw Bunches on the way there I had to stop in. I found the place to be slightly higher priced than other florists in the city, but the service was incredible. They even tracked down my sisters hospital room number! read more

My husband, then boyfriend ordered me a dozen roses from here for Valentine's Day and there were only 11 roses in the bouquet. He picked up the flowers later in the day so they had obviously run out and were trying to get away with it. When we called to complain, they delivered a peach colored rose. Beyond that, the arrangement itself was nothing special. read more

I looked onine for a local florist in the Lincoln Park area - and found Bunches. I sent a "Congrats" bouquet to a friend. The only direction I gave them was the $ amount & the fact that the Bunches flower arranger could be creative, because my friend is a designer type. I thought the pricing was more than fair, they were easy to work with & the bouquet (my friend sent me a pic of it) was GORGEOUS. Good job Bunches! read more

Stopped in yesterday as a friend and I were walking by. The place is beautiful and we were lured in by the GORGEOUS $12.99 bouquets on the sidewalk. I will be thinking of a reason to use them in the future! read more

Bunches is a lovely flower shop! Their selection is so unique and amazing quality. Every time I go in they help me put together something really special. They are always happy to answer questions and help me pick something beautiful. Love this place!! read more

Got my Valentines Day Flowers from Marc, and realized I gave a 4 star review...well, I'm upgrading that. This place is the best!

I live in the neighborhood and from time to time pop in on my way home. They are willing to put together excellent arrangements on the spot while you wait. I would highly recommend Bunches to anyone looking for quality flower arrangements at a reasonable price. read more

The owner Marc was fantastic to work with when we were looking for florists for our August Wedding Reception! I am so glad we went with them. The orchids were a perfect blue color and they did a beautiful job with the presentation. read more

Marc is fabulous to work with, we got our wedding flowers from here. He worked within our budget, and had a huge book of suggestions, and tons of samples available. I wanted something classy, elegant, but with a little edge, and the bouquets and arrangements were unique and perfect. He is also very friendly, knows the local area (spice shops, etc), and stayed at the venue to make sure everything was set up correctly, even showed me the best way to hold my bouquet! Thanks! read more

I am a little embarrassed that this review is taking me over a year to write. Marc did the flowers for my wedding last summer and completely blew away my expectations!!! I would recommend Marc and his shop for any Bride-To-Be. When we first met Marc, I was not initially sold on using him as my florist. My fiancée and I (alright, my mother and I) had some grand ideas on what we wanted the flowers to look like; specifically, around the use of chocolate Calla Lilies. Our budget, while generous, was not grand. Marc plainly stated that I wasn't going to get what I wanted for what I was willing to pay. Let me tell you, the last thing a bride-to-be wants to hear during her wedding planning phase is that she is not going to get what she wants. Instantly, I decided not to use him. However, he did tell us he thought he could do some amazing arrangements that I would love within my budget. Not only this, but he was willing to build a sample center piece and bouquet for us to see, at no cost to us. Every other florist we spoke with charged for these sample builds. We decided to come back and see what he could do. In addition, we paid one other florist to build samples. THANK GOODNESS WE CAME BACK AND HAD SAMPLES MADE. We had a wonderful first meeting with the other florist, but were appalled at their representation of our vision. Marc's was amazing! I had never seen anything like it. More than that, it really captured the theme of what we wanted the wedding to be. Even my fiancée, who was trying his hardest but is not a flower guy, was in awe. We opted to hire Marc. The day of the wedding, we were not disappointed. Marc and his team delivered all of the ladies flowers to the hotel we were prepping at exactly on schedule. He had even made a baton of flowers and ribbon for my 18 month old flower girl as an extra surprise. Then, he went to the church, decorated and helped my fiancée and the groomsmen get ready. We had Marc design two large flower arrangements for the front of the church, which would be transported to the hotel after the ceremony and be used for decorations at the cocktail reception. Understandably, the only thing I saw for the first 10 minutes of my ceremony was my now husband. However, halfway through the service I looked up to the front of the church and looked at the floral arrangements. Marc had found a way to include my chocolate calla lilies into the arrangements and they were beyond beautiful. In addition, he had added them to the centerpieces at the reception. Working with Marc was a dream. He was always honest with me, he worked to understand and embrace my vision, and he was prompt, reliable and professional. Most importantly, he found little ways to pleasantly surprise my husband and me on the wedding day. I would recommend Marc and Bunches to everyone! read more

I had a wonderful experience with Bunches. I called Jason in the morning and asked if he could have a bouquet delivered to DePaul that afternoon. He was busy with another client, but called me back shortly after I made the initial call. I gave him few ideas and my budget. The recipient loved the bouquet. I would definitely give this flower shop more business. read more

We chose Bunches to be the florist for our wedding in September. We were extremely pleased with all of the flower arrangements on that day. Marc is such a knowledgeable and congenial man to work with. He completely understood my vision even though I wasn't very good at communicating it. Working with him was a delight and the results were beyond my expectations. read more

My #1 recommendation for a florist in Chicago. Called to order flowers delivered for a friend's birthday; I just gave them my budget and approximate idea of what I wanted, and they did the rest! The bouquet looked beautiful-- so much better than anything I could have ordered online-- and the delivery went smoothly. Even the handwriting on the card was gorgeous. read more

Bunches - Gorgeous birthday bouquet for $75 (including vase, tax and delivery). Highly recommend! - Florists Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

If they allowed 6 stars I think my wife would have given it. Bunches/Marc provided the flowers for the rehearsal dinner for our sons wedding. The arrangements were beautiful and coordinating from out of town was easy. Exceptional service and gorgeous flower arrangements. read more

We used Bunches this past weekend as our wedding florist. Marc was so friendly and patient and easy to work with. We held our reception at Salvatore's and they were the ones that recommended him to us - I'm so glad they did! Thank you Marc for making everything so easy and beautiful! Our flowers were stunning!! read more

Earlier this week I purchased two fresh flower bouquets for only $14 each, and for no additional charge Bunches made sure that the bouquets would remain fresh and wrapped them in nice paper with bows. While inside the store, I noticed that Bunches has a large and varied inventory of flowers, pots, wedding sample arrangements, etc.. What especially caught my eye were the cacti and orchids and the very interesting holders in which they were showcased. read more

I just finished working with the team at Bunches for my wedding and I could not have been more happy with the service and final products. The team lead was very knowledgeable and creative. He listened to my ideas and used my budget guidelines to create the exact look I wanted. He patiently answered all of my questions throughout the planning process. The day of the wedding, he was there to set everything up himself and make sure it all looked right. I got married and had my reception outside. I used three different types of table decorations, including flowers, candles and mercury goblets. When I arrived at the ceremony, the flowers were absolutely perfect! When I came out to the reception, the table centerpieces were gorgeous. I received so many compliments! Also, Bunches donates any flowers that are not taken at the end of the reception, which I respect in a business partner. I strongly recommend Bunches for any floral or decorative projects. read more

Wow! Really impressed with the friendliness and knowledge of the gals that helped me. Came in to find a nice bouquet that would be worthy for my boyfriend and they got me just that in no time. I know where to go for flowers now! read more

I am disappointed in my purchase from Bunches. Although the customer service I received when I placed the order and the fresh wreath itself was fabulous....the same was not true when I expressed graciously that my delivered order died within days of delivery. The response I received was that "too many days had transpired since the delivery date and that the recipient should have called and let us know when it happened". The $60 wreath was delivered on 12/5/2014 and I called 12/17/2014. I did not expect a free replacement of the wreath...but rather I expected an attitude of "let me see what we can do to help you". I expressed that the response of "Sorry, we just cannot do anything" was short sighted because the fix was less expensive than potentially losing future business. After the first conversation was closed a subsequent call was made to me by the Manager of the shop. This was very thoughtful and I thought...okay maybe they do care......then the Manager asked me if the receiver "had a picture of the dead wreath" so he could send the picture to the supplier for a possible refund. Although this was not a ridiculous question, it sounded again like the burden of proof was on the receiver. AND, who in their right mind would take a picture of a dead wreath when it was a gift! The Manager did eventually offer to replace the order for free and deliver it that day but I decided against accepting the offer as I just was not feeling the love. Had the fix been stated first (free replacement today) rather than what I still needed to do (picture of the dead wreath) to get any assistance I would have accepted.....instead I decided to go and purchase another wreath for the recipient from a different company in the Lincoln Park area for delivery the next day. read more

We decided to try this place to "switch it up" from our normal place because it's new and nearby. I'm so glad we did! We needed a small boutique for a little girl and didn't want to spend a fortune but still wanted something beautiful. I find that those words usually scare florists away. But not ERIK! He priced something even lower than I was expecting and made such a beautiful bouquet, which is still alive and thriving, 4 days later. To top it off, Erik spent time walking my 2 year old son around the store, teaching him about the flowers and plants, and asking him to touch and describe them to him. My son loved it, but I loved it even more because now I know there is a flower shop my kids are welcome and invited. Also, special thanks to Renaldo who also spent time playing with my son. We will (both) be back! read more

THIS is our go-to florist, period! Bunches has done our wedding flowers, large arrangements for a couple funerals, boutonnieres and centerpieces for a few events, and through the years, many, many gorgeous bouquets! While they have roses in many colors and sizes, we can count on Bunches to have more than 'the usual' flowers and greens. Looking for unusual shapes and colors to delight your eyes? You will find alstroemerias, hydrangeas, wax flowers (NOT made of wax!), delphiniums, sunflowers, anthuriums, dahlias, orchids, and at least 4 or 5 different kinds of lilies. For greens, while they do have leatherleaf fern, they also have a couple different kinds of eucalyptus, pachysandra (often variegated as well as green), boxwood, as well as all kinds of things I just don't know the names of. In the spring they have bells of ireland, tulips, forsythia, pussywillow, and other budding branches starting to bloom! In the fall they have branches of colored leaves, strawflowers and other seasonal beauties. They also have beautiful and unusual containers (though if you bring your own, they're happy to sell you flowers to fill them)! I love to play what I call "pick and stick"--I "pick out" which flowers I want to have, and they "stick them in the container" for me. I end up with a gorgeous arrangement that's exactly what I chose. Every visit to the store is unique, since every day is a different selection of flowers and greens. The store itself is deceptively small--but they have the best selection of beautiful flowers around. If you have preferred colors, call a few days to a week ahead so they can get them in, make sure they have them for you. As my husband put it, "I never thought I'd say 'We have a florist'--but we do!" We have been using Bunches four decades, and cannot recommend them more highly! read more
