I ordered a bouquet for my mom for Mother's Day. My mom is the most incredible and selfless woman in the world, so my brothers and I wanted to treat her to a nice flower arrangement that we thought she'd really love. I scoured local shops until I found the perfect arrangement here. It was exactly what I knew my mom would love. In fact, I paid EXTRA to ensure that the arrangement was EXACTLY like the photo. I've attached a photo of what I ordered compared to what I received. My heart sunk when I saw it. I actually ordered 2 of them (one for my mother-in-law) but I ended up throwing the second away because they were wilted and I had time to go get a different bouquet unlike the one I gave to my mom. My mom is so sweet, and was happy to receive ANYTHING, but my brothers and I were so disappointed. Kitty was nice enough to offer me the money back on one of the bouquets, which I appreciated. However, I had a very hard time accepting the fact that this bouquet was designed this way "because the flowers they included costed more than the ones in the original photo"... I ordered that exact arrangement for a reason. Yes, I am appreciative that I got the amount back that I did, but this never should have been an issue to begin with. I struggle financially, so this was a triple blow to me. I've learned my lesson to never order flowers online. Always go in to a store. I strongly advise you to do the same.

"Heck yah" I replied while I wondered who they were from. About 20-30 minutes later this cute older flower delivery man buzzed my apartment and delivered the most bountiful beautiful bouquet of flowers in a really cool silver-crackled vase. The flowers consisted of: white roses, purple iris, pink snap dragons, some yellow thing, and some fluffy flower that looks like a sea anemone. The flowers were from my parents wishing me "luck" on my new job. Yup - they are good eggs. If you are looking for a North side flower delivery service, definitely try Maria's Flower Boutique.

Avant Gardenia was referred to me by the store in which I got my wedding dress. We were in the…read morethick of the pandemic on lock down in January/February. Jenna was the only florist I interviewed due to her professionalism and helpfulness during our first meeting. My wedding went from a formal dinner to a small 65 person wedding. Jenna didn't skip a beat throughout the entire process. She not only helped with my flower design, but also may chairs/linens/chargers. We clicked immediately and I can't thank her enough for transforming my day into something magical with her talent. Anyone who says flowers don't matter at a wedding haven't hired Avant Gardenia! Thank you so much!

I'm so glad my planner introduced me to Avant Gardenia. From the moment I met Jenna, I felt like…read moreshe was someone who understood my vision, likes and dislikes and could transform them from concepts into reality, someone who could create a tasteful rendition within our budget. Our decor sample was great. Both Jenna and my planner worked with our schedules since I was in my final year of medical school and my now husband was in business school. Jenna got up at the crack of dawn (probably earlier, honestly) to get to our location early and sort and prepare everything for us. I literally had no changes to make to any of her work, and I could trust her for her thoughts on our tablecloths that went with the rest of her work. I was a little worried it might seem like I didn't care, since I literally had nothing to change with her flowers, but honestly it was just that beautiful a representation of our ideas for the day. My bouquet was absolutely stunning, by all accounts. I'm not one of those people who dreamt of their wedding day growing up. But one thing I did know growing up is that I love orchids. I have family in Hawaii and would visit them regularly each year, and every year I just fell more and more in love with the orchids around us. Dendrobium, Phalaenopsis, Cymbidium, didn't matter, I love it all. And when I first met Jenna I told her that. Her orchid bouquet for me was the most perfect one possible for me: simple, delicate and classic, yet luxurious and lush all at the same time. The flower wands and bouquets for the bridesmaids were also flawless interpretations of my vision. Our site didn't allow flower petals to be thrown. Given the ages of our four flower girls (3-5), we decided wands would be the best thing for them to hold. They were darling. The bridesmaids bouquets were truly gorgeous, and with barely any discussion or input necessary from me going into that final decision. I just trusted her to create something magical that I would love, and she did, all on her own. Last but not least, I wanted the flowers after the big day to go somewhere to be appreciated by people and mentioned it to my planner, who reassured me that Jenna always takes care of that. What seamless work. I think being able to trust your team and their taste and ability to execute is how you get their best work. If they're excited about what they do, it shows. Jenna is someone who clearly loves her work, was very thrilled about our wedding, and it showed in every beautiful bloom and blossom her magical fingers touched. Thank you again for your expertise, your class and your thoroughness in creating our decor!!

He…read morecompletely brought my vision of pink ombre, tropical flowers to life, without breaking the bank! He had a knack for understanding exactly what I wanted, then exceeding my expectations. For example, instead of putting the tall floral arrangements in plain old vases, he used vases with rhinestone accents and ambient lighting in the base. Travis also showed my husband and me free sample floral and candle arrangements before the wedding, and even let me keep my sample bouquet, which lasted for over a week. On the wedding day, the staff promptly delivered the arrangements, bouquets, and boutonnieres to three different venues (my house, the church, and the Adler planetarium) without a hitch!

At our first meeting with her, I came with a…read morehodge-podge of pictures and ideas and Esther sat with us for a good 3 hours sifting through everything to wittle down the ideas and come up with a plan. I wanted something different and centerpieces that wouldn't "compete" with our venue (the Chicago Cultural Center) - Esther really understood my vision even though I couldn't find the words to articulate it sometimes. She was very responsive to emails and invited us into the studio to go over the revised plan when I decided to change the centerpieces. She is a true artist and you can tell that she has a fantastic eye - in many of my emails back and forth with her, I couldn't make decisions on things, so I'd just say, "please do what you think looks best, I trust you." I could not have been more pleased with my flowers on our wedding. I actually started to tear up when I saw my bouquet and my BM's bouquets and my eyes welled up again when I saw the reception room for the first time. Every single thing was executed perfectly and we're still receiving compliments from guests that our flowers were some of the best people have ever seen.

I needed a flower wrist corsage for my mom and I needed it quick for her birthday…read more I did a Yelp search for a local florist and found this close to my place. I called them first and the ladies on the phone didn't speak English too well (European), but they told me to send them a text of a google picture of what I'm looking for and they said they can make it! I was able to get it within 2 hours! It was a bit pricey $25.00, but I believe that's the going price for fresh flowers corsage? Or cause it was a rush order? When we arrived to the address, it's in a strip mall and when I entered I was greeted by a nice young woman, the place is small and simple nothing fancy. I did see some fresh flowers in their case and some orchid plants display on a table for sale too. Overall it was a good experience I called, ordered, pickup and go. If you are in a pinch for some fresh flowers call or check out their display of what they have in stock. If my mom likes it, I'll order here again.

I placed an order for a same-day flowers delivery to a friend (her grandmother passed away, but the…read morefuneral was in Poland so I wanted to send something to her so she knew I was thinking about her and her family), and thought I was getting a great deal from Mount Prospect Flowers. If I placed my order that morning, they would deliver that day for free. Well, they were successfully delivered same day (Friday), but unfortunately, the flowers were completely wilted and dead by Monday (3 days later). I know flowers have an expiration date, but I thought they might last a few more days than that. My friend told me they were sad and wilted looking by Saturday morning, and now completely dead today (Monday). Just something to keep in mind when placing an order online with this business. Maybe it was a bad batch of flowers, or old ones used for the arrangement, but either way, it's disappointing.
