Geneva and Hannah were an absolute delight to work with. They had a magical fiddle leaf fig in the store but I was worried about the size of the plant. They made it work and cut down the tree to the size I requested, sending me pictures along the way to make sure it was too my liking! I will definitely be ordering from them anytime I need to get flowers/plants for my family and friends in Chicago! Thank you ladies! read more

This flower shop is great. The staff and owner were very knowledgeable and friendly, and gave just the right amount of service. The prices were very reasonable - very good for the quality of plants we received. I'm definitely going to come back here for all of my florist needs! read more

Placed a last-minute phone order for flowers for my daughter's birthday that that needed to be delivered as quickly as possible. The owner and her assistant were extremely helpful. I gave them a budget and a rough idea for the types of flowers to send. Within two hours, flowers were delivered and the arrangement exceeded my expectations. read more

I found Geneva through Yelp and am very pleased. She was so polite and helpful without being pushy. Geneva was understanding of my price limitations and helpful with understanding the different options of flowers. I'm kind of dumb about this and didn't realize that some plants are more green and don't have flowers. I can't understand why people wouldn't want their plant to have flowers...but moving on, Geneva was very helpful and lead me in the right direction for 2 separate flower options with two different occasions. read more

Beautiful personalised arrangement at short notice. Thank you Geneva! read more

Halsted Flowers - Florists Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've worked with Halsted Flowers a couple times, and will not work with anyone else as long as I'm in the Chicago area. In a space that is crowded with one-size fits all inventory, varying quality, and poor customer service; Geneva shines by differentiating on all of those points. Not only is Geneva extremely friendly and customer focused, her ability to take some loose direction in what I'm looking for and turn it into exactly what I had in mind is uncanny. All of this offered at a fair price point can't be beat. read more

Excellent customer service and a pleasure to do business with. Geneva is very friendly and exemplifies why you should go with local small business owners. Both she and her employees have the personal touch. Would highly recommend. read more

Halsted Flowers is a great flower shop. Recently a friend asked me for the name of a great place to get flowers for his Mom for this past Mother's Day. I gave him Geneva's shop # and Geneva put together a gorgeous arrangement for him. How do I know this? Because his Mom loved them so much she called me to thank me for telling her son about Geneva's shop! The arrangement was that beautiful. Geneva has a special touch with flowers, and she listens to what you want. We call Geneva a lot for ordering flowers for our office as well as for flowers for special occasions. This past Christmas she made me two gorgeous holiday wreaths that I gave as business gifts. They were stunning. Geneva does a great job. read more

Hello all, I had to write a review for Geneva and Hannah, these women are incredible and understand the true meaning of what it means to provide Customer Service!! I am in the Milwaukee area and needed to send flowers to a funeral service for one of our employees on behalf of the company. Reading the reviews here I could not have made a better choice!! Geneva and Hannah made sure EVERY detail was taken care of, especially with the short notice and the challenge of getting in contact with the church...the arrangement was gorgeous!!! I believe in sending cheerful and uplifting arrangements, this was exactly what my vision was, Geneva is an incredible artist!!! If you chose Halsted Flowers you will have made the right choice. Best Regards. Amy read more

I have ordered flowers maybe 3 times from Halsted Flowers. Everyone here is so helpful. Geneva always goes above and beyond to accommodate any special request. My girlfriend raves about the arrangements too. read more

Just got off the phone with the owner who could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Very pleasant experience and would recommend this floral shop. Always good to deal with a small business owner.Dennis read more

This weekend is my birthday and our anniversary. We received flowers from my parents from this Florist. We had some friends over and they were surprised that many of the flowers were dying / flopped over. Some of the filler leaves were also torn. I called the florist/owner (Geneva?) -- she was surprised and told me to bring them back in so she can inspect them and possibly replace them. I felt that was not appropriate. She then said she would send a driver (uber) to pick up the flowers. The driver showed up --- also agreed the flowers did not look right --- took them. The owner called soon after and said the flowers looked great to her and she resold them right away -- made us feel bad -- with no apology. She then said she will send a 'more expensive' arrangement. The arrangement we got however, had less flowers and more green filler -- mostly small simple flowers, no roses. We talked to our parents today who sent the flowers --- not known to us, but the florist had also called them and told them we were not happy with their floral arrangement --- and the florist would be sending us a 'more expensive' arrangement. Completely inappropriate, again. Basically, this florist/owner has no concept of customer service. She did a good job of making both us and our parents feel bad. Wasted a lot of our time and messed up what was supposed to be a happy day/occasion. read more

The owner of Halsted Flowers, Geneva Currin, previously lived in my hometown of Eureka Springs, Arkansas. I miss her and her beautiful flowers! Although her flower shop was approximately 40 miles away from where we live, I would occasionally be graced with flowers she arranged. I can still see every single one in my mind's eye and treasure the beauty they brought to my life! Guess I'll have to visit Chicago!! read more

The customer service is spectacular! Geneva was friendly and super helpful. I am located in North Carolina and wanted to send some of my friends in Chicago flowers, Geneva made the experience great. She wasn't rushed and walked me through the arrangements that would fit in my budget and time frame. read more

I was invited to a Passover Seder and didn't want to bring a food gift to the hostess cause I was worried it wouldn't be appropriate for Passover. Flowers were the answer, but they had to be really nice, not just standard FTD-style. I had never purchased from Halsted Flowers, but walked into the shop and was impressed by the bouquets they had on display. They put together for me a beautiful combination of spring flowers and some roses too, very artistic, and they packed it carefully because I had to drive with it to the suburbs. My hostess loved it so much she put it in the center of a dessert table for everyone to enjoy. read more

Thanks so much to the two wonderful women in the shop this morning who helped me out with two bouquets. I was in a hurry and they were efficient and arranged exactly what I needed quickly. Fabulous service, great flowers! read more

I brought a beautiful bouquet to give to a client as a thank you. Good price for the variety and quality of the flowers. Also, feels really good to support small local businesses where I live in Lincoln Park. read more

I am still in awe of how sweet and nice Geneva is. The Big City has a way of stripping the good customer service out of retail businesses, so it was truly refreshing to speak with her. We recently had our first child and my mother (from Nebraska) stumbles across this store online. Geneva spent 45 minutes on the phone with my mom talking about life/family AFTER the transaction was complete. My mom was so impressed, I called Geneva to ask a question about our plant just to see if my mom was being dramatic. She was not. Geneva and I spent 20+ minutes on the phone and she even remembered my new daughter's name! It suffices to say I will not buy a flower/plant anywhere else, in fact, I look forward to buying flowers just to get to work with Geneva. If you value friendly people who care about their/your business, this is a place you will appreciate! read more

The most horrific bad vibe shop lady ever! She started yelling at me because i was on the phone. When i walked in the shop i saw these quartz and thought of buying them for my friend who i was talking to on the phone because her father passed away. I thought ill come by tomorrow and get one. So i was leaving without buying anything and she lost it saying how it was rude to have conversations in the store. I was speaking in spanish so she had no idea what i was saying but i found it completely rude of her to send me such negative vibes. I told her to chill out and she kept venting. Comes to show that some people are going through battles and you never know who is going through what so always be nice to people. That being said i will never go in there again. read more

Incredibly helpful and I never set foot in the store! I reached out through the online contact form and Geneva emailed me back a day later. Given I had 3 weeks until my event, we agreed to touch base a few days later after the busy Easter weekend. Geneva called me back in a timely manner and asked a few questions to understand my needs. She wanted to know where the flowers would be placed, whether they would be viewed from all angles or up against a wall on one side, what the event was, all in order to create the best bouquet. I ended up ordering two arrangements given my price limitations. They were perfect. The pickup was easy - my husband stopped by before close, but they had offered to put the bouquets next door if we needed to get them after they closed. I am very happy with this shop and intend to use them for any future flower needs! read more

The service I received here was exceptional. They put together an arrangement for me on short notice, and I was very happy with it. I highly recommend. read more

Love love love Halsted Flowers! Go support your local florist, Geneva and her staff have always been so welcoming and helpful. Been coming here for years and they never disappoint. Their bouquet arrangements are top notch when it comes to quality and design! Won't go anywhere else to purchase flowers in Chicago. Highly recommend and will be coming back soon! read more

She knows flowers, but really messed up my wedding flowers and left me in a panic. Not a good biz woman. Such a shame because I love supporting small businesses, especially female owned. Cute shop though. read more

Geneva and the team from Halsted Flowers recently did the floral arrangements for my wedding. I must say they were one of the best vendors to work with. Geneva and I set up time for her to understand my vision and bounce ideas around on how it could come to life and within my budget. Geneva was engaged with me up until the day of my wedding,checking to ensure the color of the flowers and shape of bouquets were just as I had imagined. The end product was absolutely stunning. I nearly cried when I saw my bouquet...it was even more beautiful than I could have imagined and, just before my ceremony, I spent a quite moment alone in the reception hall to take in all the beauty my guests were about to see - the entire room looked like a dream - we even had several guests ask for contact details of our florist! The flowers held several days after the wedding so we could enjoy with family and friends just before our honeymoon. I would recommend Halsted Flowers to any bride! read more

Geneva was an absolute gem to work with. Our cocktail party for 60 - Greek themed- was beautifully complemented with the buffet center pieces and round table pieces that she put together. I was lucky enough to take these gorgeous center pieces home with me to enjoy for another week. Geneva is very easy to work with. She followed up with me a week before the event and also the day before the event to confirm everything. Delivery was on time. Halsted Flowers exceeded my expectations and was worth every penny. Thank you Geneva for making our event special with your stunning floral arrangements. read more

I just had a wonderful experience with Halsted Florists. I randomly picked the shop online due to its location and where I wanted flowers sent. Geneva was fantastic . I was calling from Gainesville,Fl , and she felt like a dear friend by the time the order was placed. I received a delighted thank you from the recipients as not only did they receive flowers but wonderful oil and vinegar products from Italy, read more

Halsted Flowers did the floral arrangements for my April wedding. From the moment I met Geneva, the passion and creativity she brings to her work was evident. Flowers for her are clearly a labor of love. Geneva listened to all of my ideas and added her creativity and expertise to create arrangements that really blew me away. Her attention to detail was impeccable. I can't say that I'm someone who knows a lot about flowers, but I did come to our first consultation with a lot of ideas. Geneva took the time to find images of all the flowers we discussed so that I could get a mental picture of what the arrangements would look like. It was when I talked to Geneva that I finally could picture what our wedding would look like. Even now, the strongest mental image I have of the wedding was looking around the room and seeing the candle ight flickering through the garden roses, freesia, and lilacs. Usually for me, a few days after the wedding I can hardly picture what the flowers looked like. But, I still have people coming up to me remarking on how gorgeous and fragrant the flowers were. They truly stole the show. If you are thinking about hiring Geneva for your wedding, do it!! read more

We bought our flowers from Geneva and Hannah for our June 14,2014 wedding. They were fantastic. The bouquets for the bridesmaids and bride graced our porch for 10 days after the wedding! We loved our topiary myrtal centerpieces. Geneva helped us plant them and had creative display ideas. Halstead Flowers went beyond our expectations! Our family and friends were very impressed by the beauty of pianese and hydrangea arrangement bouquets. Geneva is very down to earth, knows the language of flowers , and is a delight to work with on wedding flowers,! Kudos to Geneva for making our wedding flowers so special! read more

I seldom order flowers from afar and tend to be intimidated by prices and process. But I needed flowers delivered to our son for a very special occasion. After reading reviews of Halsted Flowers, I knew this was the place. When I called, Geneva answered and could not have been more helpful. The arrangements were easily made and the price was in my range. The arrangement was delivered on time and pictures show the flowers were beautiful. I would highly recommend this establishment. Hope to visit in person the next time we are in Chicago. Nancy P. Victoria KS read more

This shop is like a lost art! It seems almost impossible to find the type of topiaries and French inspired plants in this city. I walked in to this place a couple years back and was in love. The staff is amazing and the scents and feeling when you walk in are unbelievable. In my past I was a SM at Smith & Hawken- and when we closed, I thought there needs to be someone that has the same aesthetic and appreciation for topiary and quality. I was so happy to find this place. Recently, my partner put in a request with the owner (I assume) for a string of pearls plant; which we could not find anywhere. After a couple of weeks, and forgetting about the request-we get a call letting us know they have some plants for us to come and look at. And just today-they knew we were interested in a Fiddle Leaf Fig and took the time to call us about one that they have gotten in stock. Talk about customer service all day-but this was above and beyond- once again "a lost art" in retail world. Great Job Ladies! read more

I found my florist! This was the first time I used Halsted Flowers! I found their name on Angie's List & Google! Geneva is the owner and is amazing! She took her time with me on the phone to choose the perfect arrangement for one of my closest friends who is needs a bit of cheer! I typically like monochromatic designs or a range of the same color however, Geneva suggested these colors and I couldn't be happier. I know my friend will be thrilled! Geneva was very busy however, she was patient none-the-less until we found the perfect combination! I said Whimsy and fairy dust for a light and fun feel and she had the answer! Thank you so very much for working quickly, although the arrangement looks like it took a lot of time and thought, which I know it did. Thank you so very much! I will be back and will refer Halsted Flowers! A++ Thank you Geneva & anyone else who helped. P.S. My friend just received the flowers and loves them. She said they were "beautiful"! read more
