Extremely poor communication from the office staff. I waited days before seeing replies in my…read moreemails; and when I finally had a call scheduled for a brief consultation, I was ghosted. I left a message on the office phone, cell phone of staff, and had emailed confirming the call, with no reply. Very unfortunate as their cooler has beautiful flowers. I understand they do not do arrangements, but guidance for a sufficient stem order was promised then not given. Heartbroken that I couldn't even hear back from this business for my wedding. DIY brides beware. You better already know everything and have your card ready. Extra assistance was NOT provided at all. Even though "valentine's day is a busy season," completely ghosting a customer is ridiculous.

Everything was beautiful - and I was so grateful to have my mom's veil wrap in photos now too. The tablescaping was perfect and I am so grateful for Fleur's team's communication with our planner and commitment to our shared vision! I really just wish I could have brought all the flowers (especially our arch) home with me and keep it forever.

Fleur came to my rescue when a couple days before thanksgiving I stopped by to see if they could…read moreproduce a bouquet for me to bring to our Thanksgiving hosts. I was a bit shocked by the price tag - $75 is a starting point for their bouquets, so I asked for one right around that price. But, considering it was last minute, I had to do what I had to do. The bouquet was lovely, and they bagged/boxed it up very nicely for transport, and in a cute vase/jar as well. Overall it was a nice experience, just felt like a bit of a splurge.

I am not from Chicago and needed it early-ish on a Monday morning after a weekend of proms, weddings, and graduations in the city (i.e. all occasions that call for flowers!) I walked to Secret Garden from my hotel. The owner was there waiting for a big delivery and didn't have much in stock, but she showed me what she had and replaced a few older flowers in the one I chose. The arrangement was beautiful and elegant - just what I needed! Thank you. Unfortunately, I didn't have the presence of mind to take a picture, but trust me when I tell you it was gorgeous- delicate shades of pink and caramel, roses and peonies and other lovely blooms.

PLEASE stay away from this shop that engages in false advertising. All they care about is making…read moremoney off of you by using beautiful pictures to bait and switch you - you will get cheap leftover flowers if you are ordering based on what the website shows you. You will get some garbage arrangement that only has carnations and mums, some of the cheapest stems you can get. I ordered a "You are the Best" bundle that included a "Bright and Cheery" arrangement - what was delivered (a surprise gift for an important milestone for my husband) was a garbage arrangement that looked nothing like what was advertised. In fact, Kate, the co-owner offered to send an actual "Bright and Cheery" bouquet to correct the situation - they clearly knew what they were sending wasn't what was advertised! They also didn't write the correct note that I requested in the card I purchased. And to further confirm this false advertising issue they completely changed the description of the product I purchased. Why change the description if I'm a dumb customer that didn't understand that the "You're the Best" bundle and the "Bright and Cheery" arrangement are completely two different products regardless of the cross reference? No need to remove the reference to the "Bright and Cheery" arrangement, don't you think? Please save your money and go elsewhere - we've had great experience with Halsted Flowers and I should have stuck with what I know is great.

From the moment I walked through the door, I was met with genuine warmth and care. As the owner created the bouquet, she turned the experience into a mini lesson, sharing thoughtful details about what makes an arrangement truly special and beautiful. It was such a refreshing, personal touch. A full week later, the flowers still looked as if they had just been delivered. I would recommend Ella to anyone with a listening ear and an appreciation for thoughtful service. Customer service, affordability, and selection, everything you need is here!

Originally, I was just going to buy a bouquet from Jewel or Whole Foods but last minute I decided to give Linda's Flowers a call to see if they could put together a fun bouquet for the event. SO glad I made that call. Not only, did Linda's Flowers put together the most gorgeous, fun bouquet but it was done with 24 hours' notice, and the staff I interacted with were SO KIND. I specifically worked with Monica, who gave me her personal cell in case I had any issues or questions - plus it was much easier to go back and forth texting versus a call each time. She rocks! Linda's flowers has a very large selection of beautiful flowers for every occasion. Additionally, the price was well worth the value. So glad I found a local florist that listened to my needs and MORE than delivered on them. Will be using Linda's Flowers for any floral need I have moving forward. Thanks again!
