Life long customer if I'm ever in the area!! I ordered an arrangement for a funeral SO last second and Flowers By Cathe came through with this beautiful creation!! I don't normally do things last second, but I had originally ordered flowers through Florist One (AWFUL) and they informed me literally two hours before the viewing that my order couldn't be delivered... in fact, they hadn't even started on our order. I was so panicked, especially since I live on the other side of the country! I called a friend that lives in Chicago, he popped in Flowers By Cathe and she had this arrangement done in less than an hour. He picked it up and hand delivered it to the funeral himself. I am so thankful and loved how it came out! read more

1. Called Friday to place my order. Lady tells me she'll call me back because she was with another customer. Didn't get a phone call (that should've been my clue). I still went ahead and placed my order online 2. Called Saturday to confirm my order, got this snobby attitude from the man who answered the phone, but got my order confirmed. 3. The arrangement my friend received was so disappointing and sad. The colors didn't harmonized at all. It looks like they got a bunch of flowers that they had left over and put them in a vase. I was quite embarrassed when my friend shared the picture of the arrangement. None of the pictures of their website show the color combination they choose for my friend's arrangement, why? Because it was clearly a poor choice or color/flower combination. 100% dissatisfaction. read more

UPDATE: I did order another arrangement and it was beautiful. However, it was more then what I thought I was spending. They were never clear on what I was actually spending. When I saw the charge hit my account I was taken aback. Plus their delivery fee is pretty high. I'll be trying a different shop for my next arrangement next week. read more

Avoid this business at all costs. They have ruined multiple funerals and other events due to their cheap and substandard products. Wilted, dying flowers , forgetting to put names on ribbons for caskets, plastic flowers with perfume sprayed on them, cheap floral baskets with the dollar store style tag still on them.. they have caused us a lot of embarrassment. Please avoid using this business. They used to be good but have totally tanked in recent years. Save yourself the heartache and embarrassment we have endured due to their lack of professionalism or quality of product read more

Flowers By Cathe' - Birthday Arrangement - Florists Near Me - Blue Island, Illinois

Cathé was a total doll! We were given her card by our funeral director after we opted not to use the in-house florist. It had been a long day of arrangement-making and planning for our dad's funeral. We were tired and sad, but resolutely trying to get everything taken care of. On our way home to finally eat, we called to inquire about the availability of certain exotics, and learned that they were about to close. Cathe', being the wonderful lady she is, agreed to wait for us to get there. We grabbed a quick bite, and headed out. My sister had a vision in mind for the arrangements, colors, and flowers we wanted, so she was the point (wo)man for the details. Cathe' showed us catalogs of options and listened when she outlined her wishes. Cathe' was so pleasant to work with, taking my sister's particularities in stride, and reassuring us that she had caught the vision, that we were able to come to a decision fairly quickly. The day of, flowers were the last this on my mind, but when we saw them we were pleased with them, down to the ribbon on the easel arrangements "not hanging limply", but having having a "full look, but not a curl" to them. Job well done, Cathe'! read more

Marcy was a miracle making saver for me today!!! I needed flowers sent in less then 1 hour and she made it happen! Marcy girl!!...You are a flower shop Queen! read more

In one of my earlier reviews, I mentioned that customer service is a huge thing for me. Flowers by Cathe delivers that in spades. They have created some excellent arrangements and even a bouquet that my mother has enjoyed over the years. The other thing is that the flowers last a very long time (My mother almost got a month out of an arrangement) without losing any color or aroma. The bonus is that this shop is close to my old neighborhood in Chicago. Rest assured, I will continue to use them. read more

Ordered a last minute bouquet for mother's day delivery and they honored the last minute request just in time.

I reached out to them in desperate need because another florist had messed up my mom's birthday surprise and never delivered! I called Flowers By Cathe' to please come through and they SHOWED Up and SHOWED OUT!! When I spoke with the lady over the phone she was empathetic and caring about what just happened and immediately delivered a beautiful arrangement that My mom simply LOVED! Thank you sooooooo much for going above & beyond and making a connection for life!! read more

I ordered flowers and balloon for my mothers birthday. It was there same day and super fast. This place is 5 stars!

Hidden gem on the southside. After doing some shopping around w/ my fiance (now wife), I came back to a business that has been in Blue Island for 20 years. Cathe gave us a great deal and the wedding party's flowers looked great. The bride was very happy! They were on time the day of the wedding and even decorated the church w/ a runner and some bows to boot. Stop by and pick up your next flower arangement at Flowers by Cathe. FYI- it is located in a historic Hart's Drug Store building. Lot's of history there. read more

My mother-in-law absolutely loved the flowers she received on Easter. The personal service was exceptional.

I prefer to call a local florist instead of dealing with FTD.com when I need to send flowers to family/friends across the country. I've ordered from Flowers by Cathe twice because they're close to MetroSouth Medical Center and they're easy to work with. read more
