I picked up floral arrangement for a dear friend who will be celebrating her 100th birthday. Addy (salesman) brought out the most BEAUTIFUL arrangement which included all of the personal touches required. In the 35 years that I have lived in Bolingbrook, I have never been disappointed in Karen's Florist. Flowers last a long time. If I spritz the buds with cool water every couple of days. Thank you Addy for the EXCELLENT customer service. read more

Do not order flowers from this place; they do the screw-you kind of flower arrangement. My husband spent $168 on flowers sent to me, but they looked like $30 flowers from Jewel Osco. For the price, I expected a nicer bouquet, and the hidden wire transfer fee was ridiculous. read more

Karen's Floral Expression - This is not $168 flowers. Totally ridiculous. Do not go to this place. - Florists Near Me - Bolingbrook, Illinois

I live in California and my 95 year old mom lives close to Karen's Floral so I called them and ordered an arrangement to be delivered today on Saturday and was told I would get an email confirmation. About 15 minutes before their closing I still hadn't got an email so I called and was told they attempted delivery at 11:45 and nobody was home. Turns out she was home, but her hearing is not so good. Their employee Julie, was professional, helpful, and had the driver even after their closing time re-deliver them today. My mom loved them, and I am impressed with the great service and caring difference this business made. My mom's caretakers were in Indiana, because his father has just died. My brother who was supposed to be there was delayed and not there when the first delivery attempt was made. Bottom line, is a business that cares like this one will continue to get my business and I hope your business continues to thrive and continues offering this great customer service. read more

Karen's staff did a great job on a last minute order. Everyone was professional and courteous. I will definitely use them again for all my floral needs. read more

Flowers were great. However the "chocolates" could use some more detailed description or options on their online ordering. $18 down the drain ordering a "large chocolates" which turned out to be PECAN NUT and having a significant other w/ a nut allergy. Thanks! read more

I ordered a bouquet of flowers as a 'get well' gift for a loved one. I used their web site (https://www.karensfloral.com/) in lieu of using FTD.com or 1-800-flowers. Their website had a timer for same-day delivery ... I placed an order for a 'Deluxe' arrangement at around 11:15 am, which was shortly before the timer ran out. About an hour later, I was surprised by a text from the recipient that they already received their flowers!! Talk about same-day delivery - my order was delivered by 12:30pm!!! Needless to say, I am very happy with their service and turn around for my order. I will be using their services again. read more

I had their flowers delivered sooooo many many times - I also used Karen's floral to deliver flowers to others. Never been disappointed- always beautiful fresh flowers - delivery personnel been very friendly - highly recommend this place. Their imagination is beyond vivid. I'm attaching bunch of pictures that I saved over the years - judge yourself. read more

Extremely friendly staff. Everything was delivered exactly as promised. I would definitely use Karen's again and recommend them to anyone else. The recipient wasn't home for delivery so the flowers were brought back to the shop. I called late that day and asked about the missed delivery and they were very helpful and explained the situation to me. The next day they called and said that the flowers weren't looking so good and if I would mind a new arrangement of a slightly different color at no charge. Amazing service. read more

I along with a group of friends, ordered a funeral wreath with a sash. What was delivered, was in fact, a wreath, but without the sash that actually was the main component of the floral arrangement. The wreath was very small, and when we called to complain about the size, they told us it was standard however, there is nothing on the website that states the size. That needs to be fixed. We were not offered any kind of discount or any compensation for the mistake about the sash. It would be nice if this business would reach out to us and offer some kind of compensation. Like flowers to the widow. Very disappointed. read more

I ordered a mother's day bouquet from Karen's Floral Expressions in the past, I chose the top tier option and the product that was delivered had less roses than the lowest tiered option pictured. I used 1-800 flowers for this order, they were quick in addressing the issue by offering to refund me a portion of the cost which i accepted...except that Karen's Floral decided to stop by my mother's home unannounced and take back the floral arrangement. How RUDE! They didnt even bother to inform my mother why or notify me, the purchaser. I learned about it from my mother. Thanks for ruining mother's day Karen's Floral. LISTEN to all the negative reviews, STAY AWAY. Don't waste your time or money using them. read more

I ordered the white flowers I didn't get what I wanted I wish I could put the picture on here of what they sent I could have did a better job at Jewels with a $5 bouquet and made my own I wish I could put the pictures on here of what I actually received and what I was supposed to receive all the flowers were not in there complete difference run away from this place read more

I was visiting Bolingbrook and in need of a floral bouquet for a loved one. I live in New York City and have a wealth of florists available; unfortunately, I was unable to place an order before my flight; I assumed I could find a decent florist in town. Though apprehensive when looking at the sub-standard flowers in Karen's Floral Expressions, I decided to support a local business and hope for the best. I hoped for the best and received THE WORST bouquet of daisies. Daisies? Yes, daisies...they were the best-looking flowers in the case. With yellowed petals, the woman told me they'd "grow" and turn white like the others. Grow? Cut stems in water? I warily removed my doubt trusting her "expertise". I went to the car for my wallet, hoping for a Christmas-in-January miracle. I came back to a semi-withered bouquet of daisies in a daisy vase. She insisted the wilted flowers would open. The next day, I was unable to present the dead flowers to anyone (let alone a loved one). I had to head back to New York City right after that or I would have certainly returned to Karen's Floral Expressions with the dead daisies in tow. So yeah, I paid $50 for a vase with painted daisies on it. I'm disappointed by Karen's Floral Expressions' lack of ethics; if your business isn't equipped to handle an order, you need to be forthright. Also, I was charged $50 for DAISIES. I found out too late that there are other florists in the area that had better flowers. And by "florists", I mean the supermarket. read more

If I could give this store no stars, I would. I came here to inquire about wedding flowers (we have a HUGE wedding party, 16 bridesmaids and groomsmen) I set an appointment earlier in the week. When we came in, after waiting for about 10 minutes for someone to come greet us I explained that I was here for an appointment. The employee told me to "go sit at the front table and look at the books to see what you like, I will be there in a few minutes" Thirty minutes later the employee finally came over with a pad of paper and a pen and said "well what do you want to order" I explained that I knew nothing about flowers and was hoping for some guidance. She asked me what kind of flowers I liked and what colors. I explained to her my wedding colors were silver and a dark blue. She gave me absolutely no information or direction at all, my sister in law used to work for a florist YEARS ago and explained the books they had out were the same book she used many years before. The woman who assisted is was not helpful and once we had gone through and picked some basic flowers that she wrote down, she never even showed me samples when I asked. Not only that but the prices she quoted me were almost twice as much as other florists we had been too. I received absolutely terrible customer service and would not suggest this place to anyone, especially when looking for flowers for your special day, wedding or not. read more

First and last time I use their service. The floral arrangement sent to my mother did not look anything like the one I picked online. This was the first time I was missing my moms birthday. My fiancé is in the military and we are stationed in another state. I thought it would cheer her up to be surprised with a floral arrangement, but the picture she sent me made me feel like I wasted my money and it didn't get the response I was hoping for. I emailed the company complaining about the arrangement and they responded with an explanation as to how they felt it was of equal value. Then asking me how they could make me happy. Nice, right? Well, I requested for at least a 50% refund and then never heard from them again. Overall disappointed. read more

Not sure what the others are complaining about other than the occasion in which flowers die en route, which is rare. Floral arrangement PICTURES are rarely what you get exactly...ANYWHERE......it's meant to be representative of the picture. If you don't know that then the problem in this equation is certainly the uninformed. These complaints are people that can't be pleased so who needs 'em! Now, I live in the area for 14 years and stumbled on Karen's about 2 years ago. They have TOTALLY ACCOMMODATED ME a couple times with last minute this or that. Granted, I'm well aware that the selection dwindles when you do last minute but I'm not registering complaints on the biased site that is Yelp like others are about petty stuff like that. Karen's has gone out of the way for me. Arrangements have been BEAUTIFUL and lasting 2 weeks or more always. I even asked them to do a Halloween arrangement and use their own creativity with a little of my desires and it was GOD-given perfect. Try Karen's! Based on my experiences, you won't be disappointed. read more

It is unfortunate my first review on Yelp is a bad one. Karen's Floral Expression shouldn't be in the business of special occasions florists. I ordered orchids for my mother-in-law's mother wake, and they were never delivered. Furthermore, rather than being apologetic and accommodating, they were defensive and completely unprepared in how to deal with mishaps and processes of their own business! For example: Delivery etiquette: Using the garage door, instead of the front door to deliver flowers! Refund Policy: Not knowing the processes for their payment servicer, in this case, PayPal Customer Service: Arguing with the client, and stating their side of the mishap multiple times without listening to the customer's experience or providing alternative solutions and ways for moving forward. I will not be using Karen's Floral Expression in the future and recommend only people to use their services if they are willing to hand-hold them through the customer service experience and delivery process. Definately, not a good service provider, especially during a time of mourning and grief. read more

Karen's floral expressions is amazing! I had the most gorgeous flowers for my wedding and she made the whole process so easy. She helped me pick out the perfect floral arrangements for myself, my bridesmaids and the rest of the wedding party. My bouquet blew me away. I've received numerous complements about how amazing the flowers were. I highly recommend!!! read more

I choose Karen's to do my wedding in October 2017. My mother used her for her wedding many years prior. She is such a sweet lady. My flowers were beautiful.

I ordered an arrangement from their on-line shop at 10:30a. I phoned in my order to be assured they had all the exact flowers shown. They did, but did not have the white basket, so they substituted a brown one. No big deal. Flowers were delivered by 2:00p (same day). My friend said they were beautiful and fresh. This same arrangement was $20 more from a florist on Rt. 59 in Naperville (area staple florist). I'd definitely order from Karen's again. read more

My mom sends me flowers from Karen's for every holiday. They do truly beautiful work and I have never had an issue until this past Friday. I received my flowers at work but it appears the vase tipped over during delivery. There was water all inside the bag - hardly any in the vase and some of the flowers were damaged. I called Karen's and made them aware of the issue. After looking up the order, they immediately told me they would deliver another arrangement. Seeing as I work close to the store, I opted to just stop and pick them up. When I walked in, the store was pretty busy - being that it was Valentine's weekend but I was greeted immediately, told them who I was and they went to get my new arrangement. It was gorgeous! They explained they had a new delivery driver and apologized for how I received my original bouquet. I am extremely happy with the replacement. I will continue to recommend this florist - great customer service and beautiful arrangements! read more

Let's just say customer service is not Karen's Floral Expressions strong suit. I ordered a "get well" bouquet the day before my girlfriend went into surgery. The dream was to have the flowers at her parents house in Plainfield before she arrived home. I understand that Karen's Floral used a florist in Joliet to fill my order, so the chances that the flowers would be there at the time desired was probably out of my hands and not logical. My girlfriend arrived home from her surgery to no flowers. Ok, a little disappointing, but no big deal. Well, hours go by...still no flowers. I call Karen's at 2:45p to get a status on the delivery. I was told they flowers we're on the truck and that they would be delivered later. More time ticks away. At 8p I check in with the gf's family to see if they flowers had been delivered. NOTHING. I call Karen's and of course they are closed for the night. At this point I'm pretty upset. $8.95 delivery fee on top of the a $4.95 additional fee and a 5.95 wire fee all stacked up on what I actually paid for the arrangement...and NO FLOWERS. I called Karen's the next morning to figure out the situation. I asked for a manager and was connected with a very abrasive woman. I broke down the details for her and she informed me that the florist probably tried to deliver and no one was home. She then said that they probably left a note on the door and would re deliver today. She hung up with me and called the florist. She called me back even more abrasive at this point knowing she was dealing with an unhappy customer. She told me that they tried to deliver, but no one was home and they would try to deliver again at some point that day. I explained to her that I didn't understand why one of the two contact numbers I had supplied on the order were not called, or why a note was not left on the door. She said they don't call contact numbers because "they don't want to bother the sender." Umm..didn't I just lay down some decent money for flowers? Would I not be concerned about the status of the delivery? I told her that the surprise at this point was ruined and that my girlfriend was already home from her surgery. Her response...and I kid you not.."well sir, she's still recovering." My jaw dropped to the floor. No.."yes sir I understand" or "we're trying to deliver the flowers as fast as possible." NOPE. I'm given attitude. At that point I asked to cancel the order and a full refund. She spouted back "That's fine..we'll cancel the order and send a message to your girlfriend that you canceled her flowers." I couldn't figure out if she said this to shame me or not. I mean at that point, I seriously doubted they'd be capable of delivering anything. I then asked how I would receive confirmation of refund to my debit card. She snarked back "Sir, I've been doing this for 30 years..you'll have to just trust me." I thought at this point the "trust tree" had been chopped down. Finally, I asked for the name of the florist used so I could confirm that this lady was telling me the truth. She informed me that if I canceled my order she would not give me the name. I asked "If I keep my order can I have the name of the florist?" I was given a stern "No." Needless to say I canceled the order. I've never dealt with customer service as bad as Karen's Floral Expressions. It was dumb of me to go through a second party florist in the first place, but I certainly never expected to be treated like that. I recommend Karen's Floral Expressions to no one. read more

I have been using Karen for flowers in the Chicago area for over 10 years. I live in California, but have worked with her to get flowers delivered to friends/family in Chicago and other states. Recently (July) I used her business for flowers for my Mom's funeral/burial service in Oak Lawn. When I work with her, I know she will take care of me, and that's one less thing to worry about. Karen personally coordinated the flowers at my Mom's funeral AND at the graveside service, and helped make it very beautiful and moving and fitting of the lady it honored. Thanks Karen! read more

Another exceptional bouquet of flowers. I've been going to Karen's for years and have yet to be disappointed. It's true, her flowers aren't cheap but you get what you pay for! I got sick and tired of buying bargain flowers only to have them wilt in no time. Karen's flowers are long lasting and the aroma of her bouquets are incredible! These are not grocery store flowers, which can be a very nice bargain for a short lived impression. But, if you really want to make a statement that will last, go with Karen's read more

I ordered an arrangement for $60 + a mylar Happy Birthday balloon. They sent flowers that had all been "substituted" except for the daisies. It looked NOTHING like the picture. I could have purchased this at a grocery store for $15.99. Oh, and no balloon. They refused to re-deliver or send the missing balloon. Stay away! read more

I've received flowers twice from this florist and both times they left a card to call them. I'm not sure why, because I was home. On both occasions, the driver returned and abruptly handed me the flowers with no outer wrapping. I've never experienced delivery of flowers like this, very rude and tacky. We'll see how long these last, as the last time the roses were wilted the next day. read more

I rec'd flower delivery today...water was spilled out of the vase and into the bag. Looked like the flowers were in dissary and the card was wet. I called and spoke with woman with accent...I don't know if Karen is still the owner..she told me to fill it with tap water and will be okay. She didn't even ask my name to let the delivery driver know the error so it can be corrected....having doubts if I will order from this place again because it seemed she just wanted to get me off the phone and not listen to my concerns. Seems they don't care anymore....have been ordering from here for over 5 years. read more

I ordered a corsage for my son's date to a school dance. The corsage was disappointing for the price. For $8 extra, on top of the original $21, they added two flowers. I walked out unhappy and management allowed me to walk out unhappy. I will not use them again. I chose not to use Jewel's floral department because I wanted something special, and I thought Karen's could deliver. They didn't. read more

My girlfriend loved the roses i sent her using Karen's Floral. I was very optimistic on how everything was going to be handled with my order since i was ordering through the site and i made the order for the next day after they had closed.

I pre-ordered flowers for a wedding shower and paid $64.00 for (14) them. They came wilted and not usable. I was treated very rudely by the owner, Karen, who begrudgingly put wires on the flowers, which did not help the way they looked at all. She let me know that she really was going out of her way to help me because she had a wedding to get ready for and really did not have time. When I got home, I had to go to Jewel and buy roses. I would not recommend this shop to anyone. read more

If you are looking for someone that is unorganized and a hot mess, than go with Karen. She for one can't read her own handwriting and has told me that several times, she forgot to put in flowers for the brides and grooms parents. Which I scheduled a year before the wedding! While I was staring at my groom I notice that his boutonnière was falling apart during our ceremony, We asked from two white roses with baby's breath, and we got a baby white rose with a silver wrapping that looked like it was wrapped by a two year old! Every time I called her I could never get in touch with her, not including every time we called her employees said" I'm sorry but your info isn't in the system", which tells me she is dealing with a old system. I can over look all that but when I'm putting on my fathers boutonniere the flowers were so old, the rose fell off( which by the way wasn't what I ordered at all), and my mothers flower were so old that the tips were brown! My bridesmaids flowers fell apart in 30 after receiving the flowers, plus to top it off they guy that delivered the flowers was so rude and almost walked off before I signed for everything and made sure I had everything! I honestly strongly recommend going with ANYONE else then her! My husband and I spend $800 for old and falling apart roses, we could have gone to jewel for those flowers. To matters worse we wanted white roses and blush colored roses with our bouquets, and we got hot pink! I wish I would have known that before going with her, worst idea ever! I wish I could give ZERO stars! Came in a week before our wedding and she still messed everything! Thankfully we still enjoyed our day! Sincerely Sarah Houlahan PS.
