Really disappointed in the arrangement for the amount it cost. Three roses, two carnations, three spider mums, three snap dragon spikes, and a few ferns for $100.00. Plus a $20.00 delivery charge for 1.2 miles. Won't order from them again. read more

Recently I needed assistance with a floral order for a funeral in DeKalb. I called Glidden Florist from out of state and they were able to find the perfect plants and accommodate several special requests. We loved the arrangements and all the kindness and attention to detail provided by the owner and assistant. I highly recommend this business! read more

The boutique that I ordered that was presented on the website was not even close to what was received. I'm very disappointed with what I received. I didn't care about the cost but expected better. read more

Glidden Florist - Florists Near Me - Dekalb, Illinois

I was trying to support a local business but this might be the worst floral shop ive been to... im not sure if there is a shortage on flowers or they are trying to take advantage of people that dont know about flowers. 100$ gets you about 3 roses, some leaves and few other flowers.... i would have been better off buying something at jewel for a fraction of the price and would have looked a-lot better.... Definitely did not being my vision to life This picture of flowers could have been been replicated at jewel for half the cost read more

Glidden Florist - 90$ flowers - Florists Near Me - Dekalb, Illinois

WORST FLORIST experience ever!!!! My husband wanted to send me flowers for our 22nd wedding anniversary. He wanted an extra special arrangement so he chose Daisies (significant to a loss I suffered) He paid $65 for these daisies. Out anniversary was on a Saturday and they close at 1:00 pm. We had dinner and theater plans that evening. At 3:00 he phoned to ask where they were, and was told the driver had been out for hours so they were not sure. The flower's finally arrived at 5:00 pm. My husband added a $12 tip thinking it was goh g to be so amazing for me, and was also charged a $16 delivery fee. We had to miss our dinner in order to make the theater. The next afternoon two flowers were already DEAD. On day 3 almost the entire bunch was gone. Online it says these should last 7-10 days. I phoned them to tell them how very upset I was and I was told that the late delivery was "basically " my husbands fault because he didn't specify a time. When they close at 1:00 the thought was it would be by that time. And as for the flower quality I was grilled as to where I placed them?? I replied on my table. She proceeded to ask if it was too dark or too light? I replied there was no instructions on placement for survival nor was this the first flowers I had ever received. My children gave me flowers on Mother's day a few weeks ago purchased from a grocery store and they are still alive and well. I mentioned that maybe they died because they sat in a hot car all day. She indicated they only keep one delivery in the truck at a time and go back for more, however when my husband phoned on delivery day at 3:00 to inquire where they were he was told the driver had been out for hours and they didn't know when he would arrive. So she lied to me. They were unwilling to refund any funds and only offered new flowers. The "special" moment was gone, the experience was not good. My husband had worried all day long which wasn't enjoyable. I would NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!!!!!! read more

See all

Flower pictures online are completely misleading. What I thought I was getting was nothing of what the photo resembled. Won't be ordering from here again. Plus side owners nice enough to give refund without arguing. read more

Owners a really great guy! It's such a cute shop with local artists featured, beautiful arrangements for any occasion. great for prom too !!!! read more

Really disappointed with this place. I placed an order for flowers to be delivered on my mom's birthday, and turns out they never delivered them. They had more than 24 hours notice too and I got the confirmation e-mail and everything. If you aren't going to deliver something when we put down we want to get it delivered, then INFORM US please. Staying away from using them in the future. read more

This is the best florist in Dekalb! They make the most amazing arrangements and the people who work there are warm and competent. They will give your flowers the personal touch the supermarkets can't. read more

Not only was our order even more beautiful than the photo on the website, the fellow who delivered it was so personable, personally wishing by bride of almost four decades (who had to be away tending to her mom after surgery) a enthusiast, "Happy Anniversary!" Thank you for making this special. read more

The good: they were able to quickly put together 2 bouquets for me when I was under a time crunch. They looked beautiful and I was surprised that they were able to approximate a bouquet listed on their website so well. The bad: They are very pricey. I wanted to add 3 white roses to a bouquet and they charged me an extra $15. If you are looking for a good deal, try a different flower shop. read more

Been using glidden for years. They are great! Used them for prom, and still use them for occasional gifts to mother! They've always been great for making recommendations and helping to put together an arrangement. Every time it comes out absolutely beautiful! highly recommended. read more

I've ordered several arrangements from Glidden Campus Florist. One of which was an order to pickup at their location, and another one to be delivered for my anniversary. Both times, the designers did a fantastic job with the flowers, and I could tell they have a great attention to detail. I'm an artist by trade, so I appreciate the symmetry and style they use. My wife remarked "These are the most beautiful flowers I've ever seen!" (it was a rather large display with a fancy modern vase). Thank you everyone at Glidden for giving my wife an anniversary to remember! read more

After a missed delivery, they went back after hours to deliver for a birthday arrangement! Appreciate the customer service!

I went there not knowing exactly what I wanted. I gave them an idea for colors and they created something that was perfect! I was in and out of there within 15 minutes. The prices were affordable and the service was amazing. I am not in DeKalb that often but I plan on returning in the future! read more

These people are horrible. We ordered an arrangement for Mother's Day and even paid premium to upgrade and they sent an ugly bouquet w three roses and not even remotely close to what we ordered. When I sent them the pics he tries to tell me that's a bad angle! This was from our family and what was supposed to be a nice surprise turned into an embarrassment.so sad! read more

I used this florist shop for my daughter's graduation bouquet and her party flowers. They did a great job with the bouquet! I asked to leave the party floors at the shop until after lunch but by the time my family got done with a long lunch they were closed. I thought I was doomed and would not be able to get the flowers. Sunday morning the owner called and told me he would leave the flowers set out for me to grab before the party, what a life saver! read more

For me, Glidden Florist has been THE place in DeKalb for flowers for over thirty years. The friendly staff always knows exactly how to help me pick out the best arrangement. It's also one of my go-to places for birthdays, Christmas gifts, and Mother's Day. in addition to the flowers, they have a nice gift shop. The tastefully curated selection of unique, artisan-crafted gifts means I'll never walk out of there empty handed. I like to support stores that are high quality and that serve the needs of my community. Highly recommended for excellent service and choice selection! read more

As an owner of a flower shop, I can appreciate giving the designers their freedom to create something beautiful with little direction, and when my mother sent me a photo of her flowers she received today- I was thrilled! The customer service was on point and my parents even complimented the same thing with their delivery person. All around excellent and will call and order again from out of state! Cheers! read more

I had a graduation on May 8, my boyfriend waited until the day of to buy flowers (lilac roses). I'm glad he did because they were in the trash within the week. I had another graduation on May 23 and again he waited until the day of to purchase flowers. They had slim pickings to say the least. (The owner told me she was letting her supply run down. Despite the fact that it was a graduation day?) We ended up leaving with a bouqut consisting of a wide variety of things (a lily, carnations, a daisy, etc). Again, it has not even been a week and the flowers are trash. I have had grocery store bouquets last longer than both sets combined! Next time, I'll tell my boyfriend Schnucks is a better option. read more

I love their selection of flowers. And their prices are amazing. I will recommend this florist to anyone.

Ordered flowers for my girlfriend for our anniversary. They lost the order and they never got delivered. They offered to take them the next day but kinda defeats the purpose. Didn't offer a discount or anything for screwing up. read more
