The florals were beautiful for the price that we paid and would recommend them to anyone looking for a florist for their Chicago wedding or just looking for a beautiful bouquet. I'm sad they're far away from where we live in Chicago, but will definitely be back there soon!

I ordered the "lavish long and low" centerpiece arrangement for Thanksgiving, expecting something…read moreactually full and lavish like the pictures shown on the website. The cost was $180, with tax and delivery bringing the total cost to $213. The flowers were nice quality, but the arrangement was very, very small (10 inches long by 5 inches high) and compact, especially for this price and for a table centerpiece. Given that this was a gift for the host, I was very embarrassed. There were 13 flowers (5 roses, 3 kale, 3 anemometers, 2 protea) plus some pedestrian eucalyptus filler. I called to ask if the wrong arrangement had possibly been delivered, and was told that this was a high quality arrangement. Quality was fine, value for the $$ was very poor.

It was such a refreshing, personal touch. A full week later, the flowers still looked as if they had just been delivered.

All I knew was that I didn't want tall centerpieces, but rather something that was small, classic, and elegant. Lovely and my best friend put their magic together and came up with an amazing vision for the wedding. Lovely created the most beautiful bouquets and centerpieces for our big day, and I literally couldn't be happier. The flowers looked so fresh and guests raved about "how open they looked". My bouquet was the perfect size and mix of wedding colors. On top of being a creative genius, she was so easy to work with, and even did a sample for my wedding planner and myself to critique ahead of time. Communication was always super quick, and Lovely was so accommodating. She even came to the venue early to bring our bouquets for pictures and set up. Lovely, I really can't thank you enough for making our day so perfect!

I found Fleur de Lis on Yelp and was wowed by all the 5 star ratings! I am so thankful for Ryan and his team! Ryan and I had a meeting over the phone to discuss what I was envisioning for the big day, and my budget. I sent over a few Pinterest photos, and the rest was history! It was truly that easy! Ryan communicated every step of the way and was very responsive! The bouquets were delivered directly to the hotel in glass vases (complimentary), which we were able to use as table centerpieces for the wedding reception. I received a TON of compliments on the bridal bouquets and boutonnières! The flowers lasted all day in the heat, and according to my bridesmaids their bouquets are still nice and green 4 days later! Thank you Fleur de Lis!
