This review is long overdue! My husband and I got married this past June, and we had the absolute…read morehonor of working with Casey and her incredible team at Flowers for Dreams. I came in with a very specific vision for every floral and décor detail, and Casey took that vision and ran with it. If they didn't already have something I was looking for, they went out of their way to source it. They respected our budget and were so patient and collaborative, always making me feel involved in the design process. I truly have one word for the work they did: GORGINA. My jaw completely dropped on our wedding day. Casey and her team went to the moon and back to achieve the exact look and feel we dreamed of. Every detail was thoughtfully executed, and the love, care, and artistry behind it all were absolutely breathtaking. Worth every penny. I genuinely enjoyed every call and meeting throughout the process. I cannot recommend Flowers for Dreams weddings enough. Seamless process, amazing people, and an overall magical experience!

2 stars. The…read morebusiness model is commendable, but the product is inferior and execution lacks merit. So, I ordered a plant for my friend's office to celebrate his promotion, thinking it would be a thoughtful and meaningful gift. Instead, he called me laughing and asked what it was supposed to be. Apparently, the "potted plant" was tiny and looked more like Charlie Brown's Christmas tree than a congratulatory gift. Good grief! Not only was it a complete waste of money... quite a bit of money because they are overpriced... but I was absolutely mortified. Thankfully, he understood that my heart was in the right place and never mentioned it again. And, oh! To add insult to injury, it died shortly after! Two thumbs down. Cannot recommend. It's the Temu of flower delivery - order at your own risk!

It is not hard to miss- 5000 Lincoln Ave. They have a myriad of selections of flowers ranging from ECUADOR to places all over the world! They are very knowledgeable with their flowers/roses/ and their craft and presentation before they sell it is more than amazing ( the presentation!). Most people may say flowers are overrated, but nahh I disagree wholeheartedly, its the thought that counts. Providing these is just one part. How you proceed in delivering it is what matters! Now the flowers tell a story! Prices are fair, but that doesn't even matter because the thought, the gift is all within your creativity! That's priceless. The florist here knows that. Go check em out!

I ordered flowers for my sister-in-law's birthday. The flowers themselves may have been beautiful,…read morebut unfortunately we'll never know because she never received them. The delivery driver left the flowers in the apartment lobby without the gift note. My brother even texted back asking if the driver could leave them in the mail room since their building doesn't have a front desk, but instead they were left unattended in the lobby. Because there was no note identifying who they were for, someone ended up taking them. This completely defeated the purpose of sending a birthday gift. I'm very disappointed with the delivery service and won't be ordering from here again.

I've now planned 2 bar mitzvahs and the planning process starts so early since you get the dates 3…read moreyears in advance. Sometimes the vendors you end up choosing end up moving businesses and that's exactly what happened with Kehoe. We met with 4 different decor companies for my son's recent bar mitzvah and opted to go with Kehoe because we absolutely loved Mal- her energy, her warmth and (most of all) her fresh ideas. She was lovely and easy to work with throughout the entire process so I was bummed to learn a month before our big event that she she had moved companies. However, my planner assured me that we were in very good hands because Tom Kehoe was taking over our event and that most of our event was already in production. I guess this is the benefit of going with a large company like Kehoe. I do think things were a little more chaotic in the few weeks leading up to the bar mitzvah as Tom and his team (we mostly worked with Sydney) got up to speed. We had to redirect with some proofs at the last minute, but the finished product was more amazing than I even expected. The tennis decor they designed was youthful, classy and absolutely breathtaking. Even big sister (my 15 year old daughter) who is tough to impress walked in and said "WOW- this is actually really cool." And while there were many amazing wow moments from the night the #1 comment I received over and over and over again was that decor was unbelievable. It was definitely pricey and tough to swallow spending what we spent on what's essentially a 13 year olds birthday party, but I gave the same budget to 3 other well known decor companies and the budget went further with Kehoe than any of the others. And I thought their ideas were also more innovative and appropriate for a 13 year old boy. Overall, I couldn't have been more pleased. I'm bummed that Mal herself moved on, but would definitely consider using Kehoe again providing there is another designer who is a creative and fun to work with.

From the very second we started speaking with Matt at Kehoe Designs, he completely understood my…read morevision and seamlessly brought it to life. The quality of everything was absolutely unbelievable. The flowers were fresh, vibrant, and stunning, and the decor and setup were so elegant and impeccably executed. Their planning and execution were truly some of the best I have ever experienced. What makes Matt so exceptional is his unique ability to take the ideas in your head and turn them into reality. He was genuinely excited for us as a couple and provided a white-glove level of service with thoughtful, custom care every step of the way. Black Oak, their lighting partner, also did a phenomenal job. The lighting perfectly highlighted the aisle and our centerpieces, and it truly made a world of difference. With Kehoe Designs, you absolutely get what you pay for. The attention to detail, quality, and sheer professionalism are unmatched. Matt and his team made our wedding day feel magical, effortless, and perfectly tailored to us. We couldn't recommend him more!

The boutique is beautiful inside and smells incredible. I let them know I wanted a bouquet and what my budget was and they were very helpful about colors, types, any favorites.

The end result was amazing and the flowers didn't die right away like some other places. My girlfriend is very picky when it comes to flowers but she loved them. I highly recommend at least stepping in and taking a look around. I'm sure you'll want to keep going back like I do.

The selection is stellar and I think they have something for everyone! Plus, their pretty pottery, books, and other accessories mean you can walk out with a cute plant AND a cute home for it. They're closed Sunday-Tuesday, so just make sure to check the hours before dropping by. They also seem to have a robust website & post new plants there, so that's another option if you're not comfortable with in-person shopping. As for covid, only 3 shoppers are allowed in at any time, masks must be worn at all times, hand sanitizer is provided at the door, and you can only touch what you intend to purchase. I can't wait to return!!

She incorporated all of the flowers I asked for in my bouquet and created the shape and effect I was looking for in the venue arrangements.

I'm attaching some photos but they don't even do it justice - my jaw dropped when I walked into the room and saw the magic they worked. I had a very specific vision in terms of colors and theme, but I left flower selection, shape, etc. all completely up to Jori and she designed and executed it all flawlessly. My husband just kept repeating how incredible the flowers looked as if he was in shock, but after interviewing over 15 other florists before choosing Jori, I was not one bit surprised at how perfect the florals were. Our venue is a lot of dark gray and glass, and can feel a little corporate and cold if the design doesn't intentionally warm it up. I had asked for monochrome blush-mauve-berry, but the actual shades Jori chose made the room feel bright and welcoming and cozy all at the same time. Everything Jori planned worked for both our ceremony during daylight and during the reception when it got dark, which I didn't realize would be so important when I was thinking about wedding planning. We also asked for a hanging installation that I imagine was difficult to create, and it was the perfect scale and design for the space. I can't end my review without also noting how lovely Jori was to work with. She was incredibly responsive throughout the planning process and is just an absolute joy and treasure of a person. There was no better choice of florist for our wedding and I promise that if you go with Romee Willow, you will be in good hands.
