The boutique is beautiful inside and smells incredible. I let them know I wanted a bouquet and what my budget was and they were very helpful about colors, types, any favorites. I watched the young lady put together an absolutely gorgeous bunch of flowers and could tell she was very invested in making sure everything was perfect. The end result was amazing and the flowers didn't die right away like some other places. My girlfriend is very picky when it comes to flowers but she loved them. I highly recommend at least stepping in and taking a look around. I'm sure you'll want to keep going back like I do.

I really just wish I could have brought all the flowers (especially our arch) home with me and keep it forever.

I was a bit shocked by the price tag - $75 is a starting point for their bouquets, so I asked for one right around that price. But, considering it was last minute, I had to do what I had to do. The bouquet was lovely, and they bagged/boxed it up very nicely for transport, and in a cute vase/jar as well. Overall it was a nice experience, just felt like a bit of a splurge.

While the arrangement was pretty, it did not look like the photo of the arrangement on their website. When I reached out to the business, they directed me to their fine print on their website: 'As this is a Designers Choice arrangement, the flowers, colors, and design will vary with the season and availability. This means every arrangement is one of a kind, thoughtfully created by our designers.' It seems that almost all of their flower arrangements are a 'designers choice' arrangement, thereby allowing them to take liberties in picking flowers for your arrangement, and allowing them to get away with not making the arrangement as pictured on the website. I now see that other customers have had the same problem. I will not be using this florist again.

I would describe this botanica as having an assortment of old and new. By this I mean that they…read morehave quite a few of your classic plaster statues of Catholic saints and spirits used in Espiritismo but they also have a selection of resin statues that are more common today. In addition to statues, they also have a decent selection of votive candles along with oils and incense. As far as items in the Santeria tradition, I was only able to see a selection of elekes but I didn't see any other items. I could be mistaken so it might be a good idea to call ahead if you need a cauldron or any other hard-to-find items. The herb selection was not as abundant but there were enough to meet most needs. The woman that worked there was very friendly and approachable. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

I know quite a few people that have gone to this business of different races and everyone has nothing but good things to say. As far as their knowledge on candles, saints and other items, they were very knowledgeable. I read a review on here that said otherwise and that is really hard to believe. These are good people with over 30 years years of experience and are very good at what they do. Please take the time to visit this business and you will also be impressed with their kindness and excellent service. I am a regular.

Florals for spring? Absolutely!! Ordered flowers online…read more(for delivery) from Stella Grey Blooms. The flowers were for a surprise (Mother's Day) to just celebrate my mom and sister. Hopefully they feel the appreciation all year, but it was nice that the delivery was as promised and the arrangement was exactly as advertised on the website. I'm not a Chicago native but spend a lot of time in the city when I visit my sister. I don't really send flowers all that often, but I'm glad to know I have a "go to" place when I need it for special occasions and their website ordering was super easy. Probably will find people have strong opinions on flowers and the value of gifting them, but (in my opinion) life doesn't last forever so we should take advantage of making the most of things. Yes- flowers aren't meant to last forever, but bringing joy and feelings when looking at beautiful flowers are priceless.

I also was looking for smaller floral arrangements and bouquets. We had met with several others who seemed ok, but when we met with Sally, she seemed to understand our vision immediately! On the spot, she made a small boutonniere for my now-husband to show how she was understanding our taste and it was perfect! We had very little communication -- one initial meeting and one check in a few weeks before the wedding. I will admit that I was a little nervous the week-of, having no real idea how my bouquet would turn out, but it was EXACTLY what I wanted! The space at the venue also completely met our vision!
