Super long overdue review, but Polly's Petals is truly the best! Working with Polly to bring…read morewedding visions to life! From the small details, to the overall pictures - Polly really does it all! Polly is incredible to work with from talking through your budget and needs and finding ways to bring your vision to life. Her and her team go above and beyond to make sure that all of the details are taken care of, and are always on time if not early. While it's super easy to just go into a grocery store to purchase floral, there is nothing like the quality and care that goes into the ones you get from a small local business. If you're looking for a florist for any special occasion or just want to share the love with someone, Polly's is the place to go!

One of the reasons that I chose Polly's Petals was that it WAS NOT connected with FTD. My…read moreexperience with FTD has typically been disappointing...the flowers delivered never look like the picture. I would highly recommend this florist. I wanted to support a small business, and I couldn't have been happier with the plant/flowers that Polly created for me. In placing my order with Polly, the owner, she questioned what I was looking for and my budget, and then came up with suggestions and told me about the individual plants she thought would work well. Then Polly sent me a picture of the plants/flowers she sent!!! My friend loved them!

I am thrilled with Belles and Thistles, and will recommend them to all my friends! *photos courtesy of Revery Photo*

When I walked into the church and reception I was truly at awe at how magical it looked like. We kept getting so many compliments during the night and after the event.

Granted it was 6:15 pm and they are close to closing at 7pm. I really wanted to love this place…read moresince it is close to my home. There was no one in the reception area when we arrived so we were just browsing their pretty inventory. Then finally two older ladies came out of the back area- I announced my presence with a "hello" since I was browsing their aisles of flowers and tropical plants and did not want to startle them. They were both not very friendly and I immediately felt uncomfortable like I was interrupting them. I proceeded to ask her about bushes and one of the women acted like she didn't understand a word that I said while the other one just completely walked away. (I am a GenX Japanese American north side Chicagoan and my partner is a biracial black and white north side Chicagoan as well) she was extremely snotty and rude to me like she didn't understand what I was asking her so I took her outside to speak with my partner because I was already visibly upset-so then I asked her "are you Mary? " she's like "No Mary is inside." So Mary was the other rude lady peeking out the door. I'm like thanks but no thanks. Let's go. I asked my partner in the car if it was just me and he said "no these women are rude." So as a small business minority woman myself-who runs her own small business in the city of Chicago - I WILL NEVER GO BACK there it's was not a pleasant experience shop there at your own risk.

This is my first visit to Mary's and they've got some great flowers here! Lots of options I haven't seen shopping around the last few years at other places. We got some begonias that are stunning and holding up fantastic so far. We picked up a tropical bush as well, which Mary herself did advise me would likely not survive the winter. She did give me some advice on how to winterize it if I want to try and bring it inside, she seems knowledgeable and it's pretty cool that she offers plants like these. I always grab some veggies and herbs as well and she delivered on that with a few different herbs I'm excited to try. Boxwood basil is new to me but that's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. I do wish she had more variety of veggies available, I might have missed the boat on that. I did get a nice heirloom tomato plant, she had these in a back lot. It's a bit hard to get navigate back there and it's not a flat path so be prepared. To sum up, this is a smaller operation than some local competitors but that plant enthusiast charm goes a long way. I'd definitely recommend it for flowers, they've also got lots of cute outdoor decorations. It's a great spot to find something unique too! It COULD use some layout improvements and I found some things unlabeled as I was perusing. I'd say it's definitely worth checking out for either a seasoned gardener or a first timer!

It took a 5 minute phone call to describe the set up and color suggestions. They said they would deliver them the morning of the event to Birchwood directly, which was one thing off my plate. Sold. The flowers themselves were so pretty! We left the party with our arms full of gifts and umbrellas thanks to a very rainy night. When I called Birchwood the next morning to see if i could pick up the flowers to enjoy them a few more days they said they had disposed of them. This was super disappointing because the flowers were really beautiful, but of course this was no fault of ArtQuest. They were also pretty expensive, but that seems to be the case with most beautiful flowers these days. I appreciated ArtQuest making our bday dinner table extra pretty and plan to use them again for another event I have coming up in a few weeks!
