Darlene and her team at DLN Florist did an exceptional job for our daughter's wedding at Fishermen's Inn in Elburn, IL. From our first Zoom meeting through every call and email, Darlene was thoughtful, professional, and truly collaborative. She listened to our daughter's vision for a "rustic" formal barn wedding and incorporated her favorite flowers bringing it to life beautifully. Her flower and design suggestions perfectly complemented the venue and wedding party attire. She was also mindful of cost, repurposing arrangements from the ceremony for the reception. On the wedding day, Darlene and her assistant were attentive and flawlessly in command eliminating any stress related to the floral details. We felt completely confident in her care and couldn't recommend DLN Florist more highly. read more

This business does not even deserve 1 star. I live in Texas and am planning a wedding in Illinois. I emailed a bunch of florists last night to get quotes, as I have no knowledge of flower prices. I explained that I live in another state and cannot travel for an in-person consultation. I attached a few photos of what I envision and asked if we could discuss my wedding and come up with a rough quote (fully understanding that this is just a rough quote based on photos). I will attach a photo of the email I received as a reply, as well as insert the text into this review. I am completely amazed at the lack of customer service, understanding, and willingness to even work with me. Email: Hello Ashley! These are wonderful pictures but why are you sending them to me? If you are looking for a florist for a wedding, you need to let me know the date to see if I'm even available and than where is the wedding? I don't do quotes thru emails. You need to set up an appointment to meet with me to discuss your floral needs Thank you Darlene Nelson DLN Floral Creations 190 E 5th Avenue Suite 6 Naperville, IL 60563 630-717-6093 www.dlnfloral.com read more

Darlene is incredible. Absolutely. Every single time i have sent or received arrangements they have been absolutely exquisite. I recommend the designers choice custom - she is an amazing designer and will give you best picks of the day. Love this. She's special. read more

DLN was recommended to me by a friend and we were so beyond happy we hired them for our wedding! Darlene was very responsive, extremely fairly priced, and flexible on some changes we made. We were quoted almost triple with other florists...and they did not even include set-up and tear down. The bouquet she made me was absolutely stunning, and she took my vision and created exactly what I had in mind! Darlene also set up all of the centerpieces and décor we discussed, and even our sweetheart table with extra flowers that my bridesmaids were supposed to set up! She went above and beyond in every aspect. I couldn't imagine using anyone else for a wedding! She's the best!! read more

With little knowledge on how to articulate our wants and needs, Darlene was able to read our minds! All she needed was a couple photos and sentences on how we wanted things to feel/look and she knew exactly what we wanted. She is flexible, honest, kind, and most importantly good at what she does. She ran a smooth operation the day of our wedding as she relocated flowers from one venue to the next. She truly is the best around! read more

Could not recommend DNL more highly. This past Thursday evening, I placed a long distance order for a dear friend going through a very difficult time. The online ordering process was extremely user friendly. I was able to give information about the situation and style preferences. The arrangement was stunning and a great value for the size and quality of all the unique flowers (see Yelp photos) and most importantly our friend was thrilled. They not only impressed me with their unique and beautiful arrangement, but blew me away with their customer service. Long story short, when they went to deliver the arrangement the delivery person realized the recipient didn't live there anymore. DNL immediately tried to get in touch with me by email and phone. Unfortunately, I was away from home when they called to let me know that they had the wrong address. Apparently, I also gave them my home phone instead of my cell phone and I wasn't checking email that afternoon. It was a Friday afternoon and they had weddings the next day so retrying delivery on Saturday would have been challenging if not impossible. The delivery person ended up talking with a neighbor who contacted my friend by Facebook and got the new address. I didn't think this type of customer service existed anymore. Talk about going above and beyond. I sent them an email thanking them for helping brighten our friends day and making me smile to know they cared enough to go through such hoops to help them get to her that day. Thanks so much DNL!!! read more

Last week I needed to order flowers for a client who was recovering from an illness. Being from out-of-state, I didn't know who would be the best florist to call. I did some searching through Google, but also wanted to check out reviews on Yelp. The June 14th review for DLN caught my eye. It seems that DLN staff takes customer service seriously. The other reviews for the shop were positive as well, so I gave DLN a call. I'm glad I did! I placed my order with Darlene. She was very pleasant as we went over options, and I chose a "plant garden" arrangement. The cost she quoted was very fair, and the delivery to my client was made the same day. (I called mid-afternoon so that was a nice surprise - she moved quickly to get the order delivered!) My client told me that the arrangement was beautiful, and that she would be able to separate out the plants and keep them in her home. I was thrilled to hear that! Darlene also followed up with an email, not only to send me a copy of my receipt, but to ask about MY business. It's nice when business owners take a moment to get to know their customers. But wait, there's more! A few days later, I received a thank you card in the mail. Such a nice touch. DLN's business card has been added to my Rolodex and you can bet that the next time I need to order flowers in the area she serves, I'm calling Darlene at DLN. Keep up the SUPERB customer service! And thank you! read more

DLN Floral Creations - A few days later after DLN delivered flowers to my client, the florist sent me a nice thank you card. Great touch! - Florists Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

When a florist does a great job, they don't just wow the customer. They wow the recipient as well. DLN did that and more. I ordered a custom Get Well bouquet for my mother using DLN's online ordering system. It was super easy. Only problem was it was to be delivered on the -40 degree day of "Chiberia." Darlene contacted me *right away* to apologize and let me know that delivery might have to wait a day due to the extreme weather. While the delivery did in fact have to wait, it didn't wait long. She made sure to delivery the bouquet at sunrise the very next day!!! My mom was surprised and thrilled. She sent me the most wonderful text, which is also a testament to DLN: "FLOWERS!!! What a great send off before I go under the knife. They are absolutely beautiful. The hospital staff even asked for her business card. It's huge and just beautiful." DLN's flowers and service impressed me, my mom and the hospital staff. As my mom said, "We have a new go-to florist!" Thank you, Darlene!! read more

Even though it's been more than a year since I've used DLN, I wanted to make sure I put a review in for this business. I used them for a Valentine's Day bouquet and it was perfect. I ordered it through their website, got a very prompt reply letting me know that they received my order and confirming when and where I wanted it delivered. When the flowers arrived they were much larger than I expected them to be and they were beautifully arranged. In terms of arrangement, I thought it was a wonderful combination of being a contemporary arrangement while still having all the traditional touches you see from a florist. I want to emphasis how large the arrangement was. The reason I'm mentioning this is, at first, I thought they were slightly higher in price than other florists. But, they completely over-delivered in terms of quality and arrangement. You might be able to get the same type of arrangement for a few dollars less elsewhere, but it's very obvious why they were $5-10 more than everyone else. The flowers were large, beautiful, and expertly arranged. Having used a number of florist in the Naperville area, after my previous experience with them, I'm sticking with the DLN from now on. read more

I could go on and on about DLN Floral Creations! Darlene did an AMAZING job for our Wedding! The floral arrangements were so beautiful and were exactly what I asked for! After the wedding, the flowers stayed fresh and beautiful for over a week. She did a great job during set-up and was so reliable and responsive! read more

This review is way over due. We got married on May 26, 2017 and I thought I left a review but didn't. So here it goes...Darlene you are amazing! We are so happy with how our wedding flowers turned out. The touch of greens with creams just made everything come together. Thank you for being transparent, full of suggestions, and completing a run through prior to our big day. All the center pieces looked beautiful super elegant without over doing it. Much thanks again! read more

My husband has used DLN for years to send me flowers for special occasions and they always do a fabulous job. They are so creative with their arrangements! This week we needed flowers for my Mom who underwent surgery; I told my husband to ask DLN for something bright and tropical to help cheer her up. They really outdid themselves; her arrangement is a true piece of art. She really loves it and anyone who comes in her room comments on how magnificent they are! Thank you DLN for helping during a tough time. read more

Although I haven't used DLN, I chose not to for my wedding based on their prices. Based on my research and meetings with other florists, most florists charge about a 10% fee for delivery and set up. DLN quoted me $800 for delivery and set up which was more like 30%. Either she is way overpriced for delivery and set up or she really didn't want my business. read more

Wow! Darlene from DLN Floral Creations was amazing! Her energy and excitement about my wedding was wonderful, and she was always available to answer questions or talk through ideas when I needed her. She took my vision for the flowers and centerpieces and made it more than I could have even imagined. The day of the wedding she delivered the flowers to my house early and made a second trip to drop off the boys flowers before setting up the reception centerpieces. My flowers were amazing, and even my photographer commented about how stunning my bouquet was. I was blown away by her attention to detail and I was absolutely in love with everything that she touched. read more

My husband bought me flowers for our anniversary from DLN Floral Creations, and had them delivered to our home in Downers Grove.

What a great experience all the way around. Highly recommend this florist! read more

When I started to look for a florist for my wedding, I asked for s recommendation. When the recommended florist was booked on my wedding day, they recommended Darlene at DLN. Wow, did we ever luck out! You want this woman doing your flowers! She got me exactly what I wanted, helped me make even better decisions than I would have on my own and also stayed well within our budget. Thank you Darlene and now I can say I have my own personal florist!! read more

Great flower people!! Easy to work with, very professional, extremely accommodating !!!

Darlene & DLN floral creations are amazing!! When it came time to book our wedding florist, I took a chance planning long-distance and went with DLN since our reception venue referred us to her. I had no idea what I was looking for, really didn't realize how important flowers are on your big day...after all, I thought, flowers just die after the day is over... and really had no idea what to expect. Darlene blew me away at our consultation. Without having any clue what I thought I wanted, Darlene was able to show me pictures of different floral arrangements and read my facial expression to pin-point exactly what I wanted. Her prices were reasonable for the amount of flowers we were ordering, and I felt completely confident in her ability to create something amazing when I left. Fast forward a few months to our big day and WOW! I have no idea how in the world she created something so perfectly "me" and so perfect for the style and mood of our day! We got so many compliments on our wedding flowers and now that we have our pictures to look at I realize how absolutely amazing they looked and how important the flowers are for setting the tone of any wedding. I would recommend DLN floral to anyone! Darlene and her employees are great, very warm and welcoming, and truly care about creating floral arrangements that are perfect for the customer. She was always easy to contact via phone or email, and I couldn't be more excited with how everything turned out! read more
