    Bouquet
    Sarah M.

    Primrose is my new favorite place to get flowers. I will happily come here instead of getting flowers from Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. I stopped in and told them the price point for a bouquet I wanted and worked with me on finding the right flowers and for me to my price point. They didn't like the way one of the flowers looked so replaced it with a more healthy looking flower. Exceptional service , kind staff and excellent selection. Will come back!

    Going to make this review short and sweet. Thank you so much Abby for making me a sweet and simple flower crown for my October cemetery shoot! I came here with my dog in late October because I wanted a tiny and simple flower crown for my hair. I stated I wanted the flowers to be dark or black and Abby ordered the perfect floral arrangement with my specific corpse bride request. I'm now patiently waiting for the flowers to dry up so I can have it for a future project. The staff here gave me an extremely reasonable price on short notice and I also purchased a cute vase with three dead flowers that I included in my Day of the Dead themed cemetery shoot. I highly recommend this cute flower boutique and will use their services again without hesitation. I'm including two photo images of me at Graceland cemetery wearing the floral crown that was handcrafted by Abby herself

    Dog friendly!!

    Awesome local business on Southport!! You get the best of both worlds with Primrose - reasonable prices on high quality/healthy plants, and incredibly knowledgeable staff invested in helping you make the right choice and keeping your plant healthy. Very happy to have found this spot! Bonus points for having reasonably priced pots and being dog friendly, too! I will be a repeat customer and highly recommend!

    Small plant shop, with some houseplants as well as a lot of floral stuff; I'd say it seems to lean more heavily toward the floral direction. They also have a decent collection of pots as well; nothing unusual really, but a variety of sizes and colors. When I stopped in I didn't see anyone in the shop, though I know there had to have been because the doors were open and plants out front on the sidewalk. I didn't leave with any plants but I'd stop in again if I was looking for a floral arrangement.

    Here are a few pictures! (Note that I asked Primrose to arrange a bouquet for me made up of greenery only, since green is my favorite color.) They did an incredible job, prioritizing asymmetry and "wildness" and lushness, just as I hoped they would!

    It's the arrangement in the far left (the yellow and white one).  The other one came from shop in the west loop.

    I ordered an arrangement today as a gift. The order was for $100 (plus $30 in tax and delivery). It was delivered as requested but the arrangement looked sickly. I contacted the shop and they informed me that that I was looking at the back (with one unfortunately broken off flower). I'm embarrassed that a $130 gift looked so terrible. The shop insisted I couldn't see the front (by the photo sent)....and that it had all sorts of flowers I couldn't see. Needless to say I won't be ordering from them again. I order from this shop based on the reviews. Maybe if you go in (in person) you get a better arrangement or better service.

    I've visited this plant store several times during this last year when I got into indoor perennials. They have a wide selection of foliage, aroids and large standing plants. I definitely needed help at first with selecting the right plants for my north facing home and they were extremely patient and instructive! Not to mention their store pup, who was as welcoming as the owners are. They have occasional thematic sales that I find really cute, for Harry Potter week they were selling the birds nest fern as gillyweeds which was hilarious. They're now selling Hoya kereii for Valentine's! They also have a new selection of terracota and glazed pots in the back. Smaller selection than most but they are happy to help drill a drainage hole for any pot which is a huge help! I've picked out two beautiful round 6 to 8 inch pots from their collection. Overall lovely shop for beginners and plant lovers alike!

    As usual, my Yelp peeps came through and truly delivered. I was looking for a florist in Lakeview to buy my sister and brother-in-law a bouquet for their wedding anniversary and truly did not want to resort to Jewel/Whole Foods for flowers. This place is a gem. They have several freshly-made bouquets, which can be purchased with or without a $6 vase, or the staff will build a flower arrangement based on your need/ price point/ occasion. This place just gives off a great vibe - small, amenable, professional, and pretty quick. I will definitely return. Oh, and even though Southport can be busy, I find there is plenty of parking on the nearby streets. Just have the Chicago Parking app handy.

    Primrose Chicago is fantastic for weddings! Leah was so kind and patient in working with us to find a decor solution that fit within our budget. One of our favorite wedding planning memories was designing the bridal bouquets together with Leah - she's a pleasure to be around! She and her team provided a nice arch with beautiful flowers, centerpieces, and all the other wedding decor we needed. 10/10 would recommend Primrose Chicago as your wedding florist!

    BEST FLORIST AND PLANT SHOP AROUND! Cant recommend Leah & her team more. They have great attention to detail and excellent customer service. I'm a repeat customer and they make a note to incorporate my favorite flowers into every arrangement! Thanks for always making my day!

    My fiancée and I stumbled across this place by pure coincidence after having brunch on Southport. Turns out we had been searching for a house plant for months since the start of the pandemic. We walked in and the woman who helped us could not have been nicer or more helpful. We've been looking for something both hearty and easy to care for and tried several places. Turns out fully grown house plants are expensive! Anyways, we found a fully grown money tree that we love! Everywhere else we have tried, this plant was $150 or more, so we were pleasantly surprised when she told us that the plant only cost $75. We left with the plant, a beautiful pot/tray combo, and they took care of the repotting for us for less than $130 all in. Friendly, helpful staff, great selection, and a cute friendly K9 helper - We will definitely come back!

    It's my goal to visit every personally owned plant shop. This was stop 6. This shop was busy with activity and shoppers on various levels. It was very tight and hard to move around but the spirit was kind enough that we all worked around each other. Nice shop. Plants were a little pricey. But this shop meets my expectations of a shop designed for those who love plants. I found a couple of plants that caught my eye. This store, though small, has a variety of plants.

    Above & Beyond. The owner, Leah, is super talented, sweet and truly is the kindest person who will really go the distance with customer service, reasonable prices and gorgeous floral designs. She genuinely cares about clients! She designed gorgeous floral (bouquet, boutonnières, wrist corsages & centerpiece) for our wedding November 3rd downtown Chicago. She made everything VERY easy to look at and guided us thru designs while collaborating with us. I called to confirm what we wanted and she calmed my nerves while asking how I was doing and feeling! Above & beyond. I even asked her to switch from darker red roses to red, red roses the week of the wedding. She did it!!! Delivery was extremely inexpensive and right on time up to my room. She also gave us a few complimentary boutonnières!!! If we could give 10 stars we would. This florist is thee best in Chicago.

    It's always weird to me when businesses don't let me spend my own money with them. I tried to buy…read moresome flowers but it was only $15. I went to pay and was told it was a $25 minimum. It's just weird at this point in time. Especially with fifty other flower shops to choose from.

    If you're looking for beautiful, long-lasting flowers..this is the place for you. If you are…read morelooking for customer service..RUN elsewhere. We stopped in Thursday before Mother's Day on a large last minute decoration request for our job. It was my first time there and I've never bought flowers in bulk so it took us some time asking questions and running numbers. The first interaction that left a bad taste in my mouth was a worker barking at me to stay away from the carnation buckets that another worker had said I could choose from. "There's nothing back there for little girls" was his way of telling me, a 33 yr old WOMAN, not to pick from the carnations. I wanted to immediately leave, but knew we needed these flowers and this may be the only place we can find a large amount last minute. Then, when we finally were ready to check out, the owner (or the man behind the desk) was adamant that our client's card numbers weren't going to work because he needed 16 digits. I explained AMEX only has 15. It seems their systems are dated, so the owner had to call the card reader vendor which held things up and a line began to form. We didn't want to cause stress for anyone so we assured him multiple times he can take other guests before us so they didn't need to wait. He declined and continued to insist that it was our fault we didn't have the correct card numbers, but continued to speak with the vendor (who later confirmed that AX only has 15 numbers...). None of the other customers were complaining at all..but the WORKERS started making unnecessary and rude comments about us and how long it was taking. I was on the phone with my boss trying to figure out another option while the owner was on the phone with the vendor and things were feeling really stressful already, let alone having staff talk about us in front of the entire store. "This has turned into so much of a nightmare." "This is ridiculous." I told one of them that we had offered for others to go ahead of us in line, but he said they couldn't because the car had been loaded already. Finally, I was so stressed that I put it on my personal credit card just to get out of there. Rushed out of there with my receipt only to see they had unloaded my car- so now I had to wait for them to reload...after they were rushing us! Never in my life have I been heckled at by the employees of a business where I am spending $1000...I was shocked and felt disrespected..like they thought we didn't have the money to cover our bill, and that just because we took longer than an average transaction, we were inconveniencing them. The only reason I decided to still purchase with them is because it was last minute and right before Mother's Day and our options were slim. But to choose to return...absolutely not.
