Swanson's Ashland Addison Florist - Staff-Picked Arrangement - Florists Near Me - Deerfield, Illinois

My sister started a new job after 10 years at Kraft today, so I wanted to send a little something to let her know we were thinking of her... Since her new company (Beam Suntory) is located in Deerfield, I went to Yelp to find a florist that would deliver. I made a few phone calls before deciding to go with Swanson's. And even though I typically call and order on the phone when ordering flowers, I went with ordering online this time... I'm pleased to say that the online ordering was easy, the special instructions I had were to deliver it in the morning, and despite no human interaction, this worked out just fine. The arrangement arrived looking beautiful (see the pic my sis texted me and I posted on Yelp), and I even had a confirmation email once the arrangement was delivered. Five stars for Swanson's Blossoms; They are a bit pricey, but from my experience, it seems you get what you pay for. I'd definitely use this company (and specifically their website) to order flowers for friends and family in the Deerfield area again! read more

Swanson's Ashland Addison Florist - The flowers we sent to Aubrey E on her 1st day at her new job... "Teleflora's uniquely chic" - they brightened up her day! - Florists Near Me - Deerfield, Illinois

I've used Swanson's before, but I won't be calling them again. I've never had such a hard time trying to get the lady on the phone to stop interrupting me and talking so I could try to give her an order to give them business. It was unbelievable! I tried via multiple calls with her. I tried to keep it short. I asked her repeatedly to please let me finish my sentence, to please let me tell her what I want but she kept talking over me, interrupting me, etc. read more

Swanson's Ashland Addison Florist - Valentines Day 2016 - Florists Near Me - Deerfield, Illinois

My mother-in-law (can you tell by now she was REALLY involved in our wedding planning?) has been going to Swanson's Blossom shop forever. So of course, they did our wedding flowers. Michael, her florist, is truly an artist. You can tell he's the kind of person who gets inspired and creates. My MIL agrees with the previous review that you need to be explicit about what you want. My MIL went through a few test-centerpieces before arriving at one she liked. From my perspective at the wedding, everything was visually spectacular. The centerpieces were three different heights and lit from inside with LED lights. For the boutonnieres, I asked Michael if he could do something with blue thistle. It just happened to be in the shop immediately to the left of the chair I was sitting in. He whipped something up, and it was just perfect on the first try. My bouquet took a second try (we did a test run a week earlier), but I partly blame myself for that. I originally picked flowers that were too bulky and didn't lay well. When I just told him what shape I wanted, the basic colors, and let Michael pick the best flowers, it was perfect. Michael himself was on site the day of the wedding setting up the tables and the flowers around the ceremony, making sure everything looked amazing. I know he even moved some pieces from the ceremony site to the sweet table (which I never even saw, let alone touched) in the reception area. Swanson's really does aim to please, and some are easier to please than others. But they don't read your mind. I would highly recommend their services. read more

My mother is in the hospital so I gave these folks a call in hopes of sending her a gift of flowers. They were very professional and helpful over the phone, suggesting a "colorful and cheerful" get-well soon bouquet and providing info on typical budgets. They delivered promptly the next day and my mom is BLOWN AWAY. She can't stop talking about how gorgeous they look and she honestly seems in better spirits than I've heard in days. I'm not saying these flowers "cured" her :-P -- but they certainly helped lift her spirits! Very satisfied with my purchase. Thank you! read more

I ordered an arrangement for delivery for a friend and thought it was a unique and beautiful arrangement for a reasonable price. I received a text from the recipient with a pic and what was delivered surpassed the featured photo on the web site. It was stunning! Highly recommend Swanson's read more

This will be short but that's what happens when you have a perfect experience. Fiancé got a new job in Deerfield. Looked up this shop and had flowers delivered. They arrived a few hours later and are gorgeous. Thank you! I've had nightmare experiences ordering flowers this was not one of them. read more

Needed flowers for the funeral of a friend's mother. Looked at several florists near the funeral home, but none suited, so I went to Swanson's near my house. They did not disappoint. The flowers were purchased sight unseen and I relied on friends to take pictures. They were indeed beautiful and the deceased's daughter said"they were truly amazing. They were one of my favorite remembrances." I would highly recomend Swanson's Blossom Shop for your floral needs. Thank you for a job well done. read more

So I went into Swanson's shop today to buy my gf some flowers to be delivered. I ask for an arrangement that has fall colors and some roses I paid $85.00 and she got an arrangement that was small and no roses. I will not buy any flowers from there again and suggest anyone else to see the arrangement before you leave the store... extremely disappointed with the flowers that she received. The only good thing is that my gf liked them (but what girl doesn't love flowers) anyway buyer beware!!! read more

I order from this place when I can (for local deliveries), and they have been pretty good. I usually have to make sure to be explicit in my requests - down to the last detail. If I want "more daisies than tulips" in the arrangement, I better be sure to say "10 daisies, 7 tulips". The customer service is above-board, however there have been a couple of times when I was told I'd received a return phone call (after asking a question that the arranger didn't know the immediate answer to) and I've had to call them back because they've forgotten to call me. The prices are pretty competitive, but I think the quality is above average as well. Only one time did I receive a bouquet from them that showed signs of dying within 2 days of delivery. When I called to complain, my husband was issued an immediate and full refund - no hassle at all. Overall a good florist. Just be sure to be completely thorough when placing an order, unless you don't care all that much about design. read more

I have lived here for thirty-five years. Swanson's has always been a pleasure to work with. I have used other florists, however Swanson's is always reliable , dependable and on time. I intend to send my sister flowers for her birthday this month as she, like so many others, is working at home. read more

I sent flowers to a friend and she absolutely loved them. Melinda and her team did a great job pulling the arrangement together and were super easy to work with. One of the benefits of dealing with a local florist vs. a big online company is that you get the personal touch you can't get with the bigger guys. Definitely recommend them. read more

They made my wedding bouquets and from the every beginning they took care of me. I told them I had a very small tight budget and they worked with what I could afford. Micheal suggested unique details like using Blue Thistle to make my white Hydranga bouquets pop! They were exactly what I wanted and I could not have asked for anything more. Thank you Swansons for making my wedding beautiful with your time and creative detail. read more

We have used Swanson's Blossom shop for the past 15 years , for all of my daughters bat mitzvah's and this past Sunday just confirmed why we keep using them as our florist!!! Our oldest daughter just got married on Sunday and we hired Swanson's to do their magic. Michael, their floral designer, transformed the Metropolis Ballroom with it's big soaring vaulted ceiling and vast open space to a warm, cozy, and magical setting! My daughter and I met with Michael to discuss what type of floral arrangements, colors, candles, etc.that we wanted and he took it from there. He understood exactly the mood and setting we wanted and he didn't disappoint!! Using different shades of purple, white and magenta flowers, different size vases, and candles, each table was a unique and breathtaking masterpiece!!! My friends especially loved the floating candles in the vases with submersed orchids and so did I!! The magician (Michael) , had repurposed these flowers from the table for the runner that lead to the chuppah. The runner was sprinkled with soft pink rose petals and lined with floating candles and flowers. He also used the flowers to decorate the chuppah and either end of the walkway. From the bouquets, to the chuppah, tables and wedding cake, it was all BEAUTIFUL!! This family owned local business was easy to work with and very accommodating! I will, of course, be back for them to do their magic once again! Thank you Swanson's Blossom Shop, you're the best!! read more

It was my daughter's 21st birthday today. I decided on a whim to "see" if I might be able to have a bouquet sent to her at school- Trinity International University. I called this florist at 10am California time expecting to be told it couldn't be done on such short notice. Well, much to my surprise, the lovely voice on the other end told me she'd take care of my daughter...and she did!!! 2 hours later I received a text from my birthday girl thanking me for her beautiful flowers. Thank you, Melinda, for your kind customer service and the gorgeous arrangement. - A very thankful momma in California. read more

My office orders from Swanson's Blossom Shop on a weekly basis. They put together beautiful and unique arrangements each and every week. I understand that the price is fair and they are timely in their delivery. I would recommend this flower shop! read more

This is my second Yelp review and my first bad internet review of any business, ever. I chose this florist based on positive Yelp reviews. I called Swansons from NY to inquire about a same-day delivery in the Deerfield area. The woman who answered my call was extremely pleasant and accommodating, but she needed to have her manager call me back with a price quote, which was not a problem. She gets five stars. Michael called back in short order and quoted a price that was much higher than I anticipated (and was unable to pay), but IN NO WAY did I think that his quote was unreasonable, and said so more than once. I asked if there were other rose options available besides the variety he had quoted. He immediately became defensive, demanded to know what I DID expect to pay, and cited all of the various price drivers for roses in May. All very fair points, but delivered with such disdain and contempt that I quickly concluded the call with no purchase. He gets no stars. I had every intention of ordering something besides my original rose request (which he didn't even suggest), but not after being treated so poorly. read more

I'm writing the review as I finish up my order. Great shop with an awesome vibe with considerate and friendly staff. And the product is absolute quality. read more

Swanson's did my wedding flowers on pretty short notice (the first florist I booked flaked), and they did a lovely job. They were friendly and helpful when we met with them. They did a fantastic job of listening to us and creating floral arrangements that reflected what we'd asked for. They also helped us to set up other elements of our wedding decor when they came to set up the flowers on the day of the ceremony. Between the lovely flowers and awesome customer service, I'd recommend them to anyone. read more

Ordered a specific Teleflora arrangement and what came looked nothing like what I ordered. Creativity wasn't the issue here, since the arrangement I ordered is pictured on the website, and the flowers aren't uncommon. Won't be going back. read more

We got our flowers from Swanson's for our wedding in July and they came highly recommended by a friend of ours. I can see why. They did an amazing job with the centerpieces, altar flowers, the pews, the bouquets, etc. The flowers were gorgeous and stayed fresh for several days. I would use them in a heartbeat for another special occasion. We were so pleased and everyone at the wedding was talking about how stunning the flowers were. Michael helped me pick all my flowers and he was very helpful. He was even there on our wedding day delivering the flowers and setting up the pews bows for the church! read more

On Saturday we hosted a wedding shower at a pretty restaurant with beautiful windows. We were so lucky to have a sunny day to enjoy them. We went to see Michael at Swansons to see about the centerpieces. After talking to him about what we wanted and our budget he didn't think he could help us. As we were leaving Michael came up with a beautiful floral arrangement that worked perfectly for us and fit in our budget! When we actually put them in the room they even more beautiful than we anticipated and the tables were beautiful. Michaels talent and creativity truly transformed our room into a winter garden. We can't thank Michael enough for his great work and adding so much to the party!! read more

I recently purchased my wedding flowers from Swanson's Blossom Shop and couldn't have been more pleased with both their creations and their reasonable pricing. I had contacted a couple of other well-reviewed florists who, for whatever their reasons, decided not to follow up with me. Too busy perhaps, or perhaps my intended budget wasn't big enough. Feeling somewhat wary of being ignored after these snubs, I walked in to Swanson's, a local establishment, and briefly met with Renee, who arranged a time for us to meet and talk over what was needed. And that was the start of an enjoyable and satisfying collaboration. Apparently I had finally found the right people! I had an energetic and fun discussion with Michael Hosman, floral designer, who listened very carefully as I expressed my wishes for specific colors, varying textures and for my flowers not to look like traditional wedding flowers. Michael was great to work with because, although he is a designer and artist himself, he respected the fact that I am a graphic designer with a very particular vision of how the flowers would fit into the overall visual plan. He was patient in letting me make suggestions and ask questions, and he was creative in offering alternatives and trying things out until we arrived at a floral design that we both thought would work great. I left the meeting feeling confident that Michael knew what I was going for and could make it happen. The flowers that arrived on the wedding day were exactly as I had hoped they'd be. Truly gorgeous, creatively combined and vibrant, very textural and lovely. It was obvious that Michael had really taken my input to heart and done his very best to make the flowers match my vision. I SO appreciate that, and I'd recommend Swanson's Blossom Shop to any person considering flowers for their wedding, whether they have clear ideas of what they want, or whether they need guidance in arriving at the right thing. You'll be happy! read more

We are so happy to highly recommend Swansons Blossom Shop to anyone planning a wedding. Michael is a true artist and created beautiful ceremony and reception arrangements as well as bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages. He was so helpful with the design and planning as well as during set up. The staff at the shop were easy to work with and made our experience a pleasurable one. We greatly appreciate all that was done for my daughter's 8/14/15 wedding and received many complements from our guests. read more

Ordered a bouquet for my mother's 65 birthday and was disapointed. Because I am out of town I had to place order over the phone and was specific on the types of flowers I wanted in the arrangment, however upon receiving a picture of the bouquet that was delivered it was very odd looking. The tulips I wanted in the bouquet stuck out 5-6 inches higher so they looked weird. Also, even though they are only 2 or 3 doors down from where the bouquet was delivered they charged me a delivery fee which is ridiculous! It took a whole 5 minutes to walk on the sidewalk practically next door. I order a bouquet for my mom for her birthday practically every year and I think I will look for another florist based on this last experience. The sadest part of it all is my mother is a controller of a church and orders a ton of flowers from this shop. You would think with the amount of business they have received from her alone they would have made her bouquet spectacular and my experience flawless!! read more
