With 15 minutes notice, they whipped up a cute bouquet appropriate for a young lady. The price was right and I was in and out without a hassle. About a month ago, my son was headed to his sophomore homecoming. I called early in the week to order his date a wrist corsage. The call went fine except that the employee didn't know their hours on Saturdays. And didn't have any way to find out. That seemed weird. I mentioned it when I arrived on Saturday morning and learned that the hours vary because of weddings and other special events. This made a little more sense. The wrist corsage was very pretty, but cost a bit more than I would have liked to pay. Regardless, I don't spring for flowers often, so I guess it's okay.

If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would! I needed inexpensive floral centerpieces for an…read moreevent and I checked with so many florists in the area. It seemed the other florists didn't want to work with me and I think it was because of my low budget. Some said they would sell me flowers for me to make the centerpieces myself, but then they would say that the flowers I wanted wouldn't arrive in time--it was too late to get what I wanted by the date of my event. I resolved to the fact that I would just buy grocery store flowers, whatever they had in stock, and make the arrangements myself. But then I connected with Breanne, the owner of Floral Excellence in South Elgin, and I'm so glad I did! I told Breanne what my budget was, what I was looking for, and when I needed them, which was by the way, not a very high budget, and relatively last minute--within a couple weeks of my event. I expected her to give me the same story as the other florists, but Breanne basically said she WANTED to make this happen for me and she WOULD make it happen!!! When no other florists would! She came up with a lovely design for each centerpiece, it was the colors I wanted, it was within my budget, included the labor for them to arrange the flowers (not just me purchasing the flowers and making them myself), and they delivered them to my party venue! When I arrived at the venue for my event, her girl Eryn had set them up so pretty on all the guest tables and display tables and they were so lovely! They were perfect! When I felt that no other florist was interested in helping me, Floral Excellence WANTED to make my arrangements and did them so lovely! I would highly recommend them for any event, big or small. They clearly go above and beyond, they listen to what your needs are, and they make sure your event, no matter what it is, is a beautiful one! I will definitely use them again! Thank you Breanne and Eryn from Floral Excellence!!!

I wanted to publicly honor my client and friend of 29 years, Oleta Adams, on her final show as she was retiring. In all the years of touring, Oleta would often receive beautiful bouquets of live flowers that she would have to leave in her dressing room after the show. I wanted her to have something that could be sent home, for her to have a keepsake of her final show and her 55 years of touring. Laura made a gorgeous life-like bouquet that after I was able to hand to Oleta at her last performance, then she mailed the bouquet to safely arrive at Oleta's home. Laura is a class act, a wonderful artist in her own right, and a great business owner. I highly recommend her, her business and her work. Chévy Nash Artist Manager for Oleta Adams

Laura worked together with us to select a floral package that both matched our vision and was within our budget, and we're so grateful for her clear and timely communication and her incredible craftsmanship.

Peggy stayed at our venue throughout the wedding day and helped our wedding party and parents with their corsages/boutonnières, florals for our cake, moving florals from our arch to the sweetheart table, decorating the hanging wreath for our venue, etc. Peggy was so kind! We highly recommend her for your wedding!! :) P.S. All photos were taken by our photographer, John Foley.

I explained that I was getting married in two days time and wanted wildflowers, not formal flower arrangements, at my rustic-themed wedding. I was ready to buy whatever she had, but Jodie very kindly suggested that if I could drive to her farm the next day, she could provide me with however many bundles I needed, fresh. My maid of honor very quickly volunteered to pick them up. The next day, Jodie was ready with sixteen bundles of flowers, all prepared and wrapped with small bags of water. I hate to admit that we cleaned her out! She went above and beyond to find a great mix of flowers that went well with our color scheme. They were stunning, and exactly what we wanted! If you have the opportunity to meet Jodie at either the farmer's market or her farm, I strongly recommend that you do, as she is very willing to help, and has a beautiful selection of flowers.
