Garland has been my go to florist for years and has never disappointed us. Until today. What was to be a little nicer than usual bouquet for our anniversary for $100 (with tax and delivery to be fair, $75 to start) ended up being an adorable 9 x 12 arrangement not the 16 x 16 arrangement advertised. A good rule of thumb is when you advertise 16 x 16, make it slightly bigger and exceed your repeat customer's expectations. Not the end of the world. Just flowers. $100 should result in something more than "awww, it's adorable!" I was hoping for "wow! It's gorgeous." Update: I left a message after they had closed that I was disappointed. Got a return call from the owner the next day and a new and improved bouquet on our doorstep. This is why I shop locally. read more

Garland Flowers owner just did a 2 hour turn around on a floral delivery - above and beyond in customer service. Many thanks !

My fiancé and I ordered flowers to be delivered to my mom on Mother's Day. I completely forgot to tell my mom to be home to accept the delivery, and so she wasn't home when it arrived. The delivery person very kindly called me. I was worried about him leaving it at the door, so he brought it back to the shop and my dad picked up the flowers later that day. It worked out perfectly. I really appreciate their flexibility and communication, rather than just leaving the flowers somewhere where they could be taken. The flowers themselves are absolutely beautiful. We got my mom her favorite -- orchids -- and she's never been more pleased with a gift! We will absolutely be ordering from here again. Excellent quality and customer service read more

We worked with Therese to put together a couple bouquets (one large for me & a mini for our daughter) and boutonnieres (one large for my husband & 3 mini for our sons) for our wedding. We wanted fall flowers, in a purple theme, featuring thistle and craspedia. What Therese created for us was so unique, beautiful, and also extremely affordable. I highly recommend Garland Flowers! read more

A really didn't think florists like this still existed, but as usual, Oak Park continues to surprise me. This is a splendid floral boutique that specializes in small and large arrangements, prom/wedding flowers, or just a couple or daisies for your partner. I stopped in to just get a bunch of poms, and left with a staggeringly beautiful and customized arrangement (that was balanced with sweet-swelling eucalyptus). And it only cost $25, but looks like a work of art. Will be coming back again and again. Stop buying flowers at the grocery store! read more

Therese is an artist and the kindest soul. My spouse and I wanted a wedding bouquet and boutonnière and she listened thoughtfully to our half-baked ideas to create the most incredible unique late summer bouquet. I was not a flower person before this moment- but I cried when I saw it. I even changed my dress last minute and she made it a perfect complement. The quality was sublime and the price extremely reasonable- and meeting Therese was a joy. I will never get flowers anywhere else. Thank you!!! read more

The flowers were beautiful and this shop would get 5 stars, except the card to my wife for our anniversary that says who sent it to her was missing, it was the little card that says happy anniversary read more

The service and quality of Garland is exceptional! I have worked with them personally and professionally with great success. The owner and staff create beautiful arrangements and handpick only the best plants from local greenhouses. They have worked to meet a variety of my budgets and always been easy to consult for ideas. No job too big or too small; love supporting local, family-owned businesses! read more

We used Garland Flowers for our wedding day and we were beyond thrilled with the work they did! Therese and her team provided great service and were wonderful to work with. I gave a couple of general ideas of what kind of bouquets we wanted and Garland came up with an amazing arrangement that really popped in all of our photos and pulled the look of our wedding together. Their prices were also really reasonable. I can't recommend Garland enough! read more

Another good little flower shop, this one is a little more traditional than Kabloom, but around here, there's room for a couple flower shops that sort of fill slightly different niches. read more

We used Garland Flowers for my son's wedding May 19,2012. Therese was very easy to work with and met with us as needed. Since we weren't quite sure what we wanted, she took the time to show us photos from other weddings. We picked a few we liked and she immediately walked around her shop and created a "sample" bouquet. My future daughter-in-law worked to Therese, discussing flowers and colors she liked, using the bouquet as inspiration. We then discussed the budget - and believe me our budget was very small. But with all that, we were done. Not sure exactly what we were getting, we still felt confident Therese would give us something spectacular. On the day of the wedding, Nato and all, our flowers were delived at the scheduled time. When we opened the box and saw the bouquets we were "WOWED". She totally got what the bride wanted. The flowers were fresh and the colors so vibrant. We loved them!! We highly recommend Garland Flowers. Therese worked within our budget and did a spectacular job! read more

What a gem hidden just south of the oak park avenue and south blvd intersection. Just picked up a boutonnière and matching blooms my daughter's hair for homecoming. Ordered in person on Thursday with such a charming and helpful lady. Treated me like I was a personal friend. When we picked up today, Saturday, we asked if they could make the matching flowers for her hair and they said absolutely no problem. Very pretty and just perfect for the dance. Worth looking for. read more

I have had too many bad things happen here. I have gone so far as to tell the people here that there is a problem with customer service, but then today, well, maybe theres been a change of face?! I called today to let the team know that my flowers from valentines day died the next day, and the manager said, come by and get new flowers! I am so sorry!! Seriously, I was expecting some pull back, but she told me to come in and get new flowers... wow! problem is- they close at 5p. I work until 6p. I'll never get those flowers.... read more

Sometimes you want more than just a bouquet from a grocery store. That's what lead me to Garland Flowers. I pictured an arrangement of a variety of white flowers and my budget was only $30. The man ahead of me was paying $100 for his purchase, so I was doubtful that they'd be able to gvie me what I wanted. Well, they did! I walked out with exactly what I wanted - a beautiful bouquet that included a nice mix of white flowers - even roses - for $30. read more

I was really disappointed, with the delivery and the customer service. I placed an order on Friday for a Saturday delivery. The flowers were delivered on Tuesday. There was a specific reason I wanted the flowers delivered on Saturday -- I was told that a delivery attempt was made, but no one was home. Fair enough. But, the logical follow-up would have been to call me and let me know there was a delay & then give me an option of having the flowers delivered without a signature. Again, I wanted them delivered on a Saturday for a specific reason. I never got a call or any kind of explanation. read more

I feel like we mark every great occasion in our lives with Garland. 10 years ago Garland did my wedding flowers and we have used them for everything ever since. This year we gave my mother a bouquet from Garland every month. I was stunned each month at how long these lasted and how special each arrangement was. I get my Poinsettias from her every year too and love how long they last. Wonderful! read more

Super nice and very helpful. We had a great experience. They do close early on Saturday (3 pm) which is something to keep in mind. We used them for homecoming flowers. read more

Awesome service! Shana was great. I called from out of state asking about a seasonal vase arrangement for a friend that lives in OP. She was beyond helpful. It is no surprise as to why they have been in business for 69 years. Good on ya Garland Flowers and thank you! Matt - A VERY satisfied customer read more

I adore this floral shop and its owner. She is so nice and helpful and the flowers and houseplants I have purchased have always exceeded my expectations. So glad this amazing gem exists in Oak Park! read more

I've used Garland Flowers for a variety of things - from small flowering plants for my office to cut flowers to table centerpieces to our latest - a basket of flowers for our church altar in celebration of our son's wedding. The basket is terrific - we will enjoy it the rest of this week.They have always been easy to work with, especially with last minute orders. read more

Garland Flowers - Our latest arrangement from Garland - Florists Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

Buyer beware. There is a counter person who listens to your ideas takes notes agrees to the floral design and selected flowers. When you return to pick up arrangement the florist has not honored the agreement, flowers are missing and when asked to have the agreed flowers installed, the florist has the nerve to ask if the budget has increase- never mind they had already collected payment at the time the order was made. There are limited choices for a florist in Oak Park but this is one that should be avoided unless you welcome bait and switch. The owner did apologize for the staff's behavior which is notable but for the money you might want a more consumer friendly choice. read more

Best florist in the area! Flowers and plants are always in great shape and healthy/full. Arrangements are beautiful and tasteful. Staff is always pleasant, helpful, and are good people. Have been going for years and will keep doing so! read more

We could not have made a better choice than Garland for our wedding flowers. Although out budget was smaller than average for the area, Therese made great suggestions that sounded beautiful during out consultation. My bridal bouquet was stunning, as were all the other bouquets, corsages, and bouts. Our simple centerpieces were elegant and just beautiful. We ended up with flowers that matched exactly the spirit we wanted and were more beautiful than we had imagined they would be. As a bonus, the flowers were also long-lasting and Therese was very easy to work with. read more

Theresa is amazing! We booked them for our wedding flowers. We had a meeting with her to discuss flowers and she knows everything! She came up with red jamestory for the boutonnieres and they were beautiful!! One of my bridesmaids picked them up for me and she had everything completely ready and even offered buckets of water to keep them fresh. She is so sweet and we had so much fun with them! Everything was beautiful!! read more

Garland Florist arrangements are not just floral pieces but works of art. I had very specific ideas in mind when I ordered my husbands funeral pieces. The attention to detail and craftmanship humbled me. My sincere gratitude for going well above the norm. Nina read more

Huge disappointment! For $30, I got 2 sleeves of tulips, a vase and treated BADLY! I noticed the "OPEN" sign on the store front and rather than going to Jewel for flowers to take to a patient at Oak Park Hospital, I stopped in there. I assumed I would walk out with a presentable floral arrangement to take to the hospital. What I got was 2 sleeves of tulips and an empty glass vase. Water, initially, was not included! I got some water in the vase when I said "am I supposed to fill the vase in the hospital bathroom?" to which the not so nice lady replied "good idea". Reluctantly and with attitude, she put water in the vase but there, on the counter, I arranged the tulips in the vase. Never offered me a card or a ribbon a pair of scissors to trim the tulips or even thanked me for my purchase. The arrangement looked pitiful. HORRIBLE! Never, ever, again! read more
