My little brother and I went out to do some nice things in St. Charles and Geneva today. We worked with Paragon flowers to put together some nice arrangements that we could give to the ER staff at Delnor Hospital. The Paragon staff was easy to work with and they did a great job. The arrangements were great, and was everything I could ask for. Thanks for your help!! read more

I called Paragon Flowers on Monday afternoon hoping to get an arrangement to the funeral home by the next morning. I was told they they could get the job done, which I was thrilled to hear. Unfortunately, this positive vibe quickly ended when I got to the funeral home and saw the pathetic substitute that had been delivered. As you can see from the attached photos, what I wanted and what was received greatly differed. Now, I do have to say that I was told that the flowers (blue) in the picture were not available, but that they would put some blue in arrangement. Allow me to explain one of the reasons why I am so upset with the whole blue, or lack thereof, prompted me to call and complain to Paragon. My best friend's Mother died and I helped my friend pick out the dress that Mom was to be buried in, a beautiful blue dress. I wanted to send her off with a flower from me, a blue one to match her dress. I ended up plucking a blue flower from someone else's bouquet and giving that to her. (Perhaps this is too much information, but it's what I was thinking.) Now, what pushed me to write this awful review is what happened when I called the next day to see how this could be rectified. Michael at Paragon Flowers answered the phone and he quickly acknowledged the order I had placed. When I told him the whole story as to why I was upset, he said "What do you want me to do about it?" I asked for a refund, or at least half. It was $100, which really isn't in my budget, but it was a necessary expense. Michael refused to work with me. He said things like, "Well, you asked for cream roses, but all I had was white, so that's why there were no roses." I could go on with his snide comments to me, but you've read enough, and I thank you for that. I don't want anyone else to have to deal with this kind of customer service. Things are difficult enough in life. Why does something so simple to fix have to turn into something nasty? read more

Paragon Flowers is my favorite florist. I have now used them for several occasions and every time the person receives them they tell me how beautiful they are. They are great to work with and very responsive. The flowers are always fresh. Highly recommend them! read more

My boyfriend wanted a "pocket boutonnière" for prom which is basically flowers sticking out of the pocket square. I called about 5 different florist who wouldn't even hear me out and just said no we can't but then I called Paragon and I talked with Shannon (who was super nice!!) and she asked me to explain and then that she would call me back after talking with her boss. She called me back in about 10 mins which was amazing and said they could do it! I was so grateful for them giving it a try and it turned out AMAZING!!!! Like even better then what I pictured in my head! The communication for sending measurements, inspo pics and pick up time was so easy!! I would 1000% go back! read more

Paragon Flowers - How it turned out!! - Florists Near Me - Saint Charles, Illinois

I gave this place one start, this was my daughter's birthday, I called and explained them that I wanted to order a big arrangement for my daughter. This was my second time requesting to make the flower arrangement bigger, they overcharged me and the arrangement was so small the smallest I have ever seeing for a half of the price. They don't understand that there are more competitive places. They overcharged me, and the arrangement was the smallest one my daughter received. My bad for tried twice, and their bad for losing a great customer, I'm always sending flowers arrangements to my loved ones... be care full try to go to another place, where your money will be worthy .... read more

Michael is a gem. As a person. As an artist. Clearly everyone raves about his work. It's all that plus some. But it's who he is as a person that really shines and comes to life in his creations. He came to the hotel to hand deliver a blue flower for my bouquet. You don't find many people like Michael in this world. And certainly not many that can compare to his work. read more

Could not choose a better place to go for all your flower needs! Michael took my order and made the most perfect arrangement. He went above and beyond by calling me later to tell me about the arrangement and give me an update on the status of the delivery. Extremely personable, genuine, and a true joy to work with. Love supporting kind hearted people and I'll absolutely be back to Paragon! read more

Found this Florist on Yelp and decided to give them a try with a same day order to surprise my wife for her birthday. Michael took the call. I could hear in the background that they were very busy, but he was calm and courteous. He confirmed they were busy but assured me she would get them before noon, and he'd text me when delivered. I gave him a reasonable budget and asked him to "do his thing" An hour later he called - the flowers were delivered. Seconds after that my wife texted me saying they she'd just gotten the most beautiful bouquet ever! One week later, this is what they look like ... still STUNNING! Thank you so much, Paragon Flowers!! read more

Michael is amazing. The moment we met him, we knew we wanted him to do our wedding. He listened to us and had some great suggestions too. Some of his suggestions even turned out to be a cheaper solution for us than what we had asked for at first. Who would do that? Offer the couple a more affordable idea when he could have just done what they want and get more money? An honest person who loves his job, that's who. The result was amazing. He stuck around and fixed a couple of details on my bouquet before I walked down the aisle. We couldn't have been happier. Highly recommended! read more

I'm particular about what I order from florists for my mom in the Fox Valley. I think flowers are a language of their own, and Michael John just gets it. My mom is always delighted by his creations. Whether it's a delivered bouquet or a table centerpiece, Paragon's flowers are always tasteful, appropriate for the occasion, abundant, and high quality. And for delivery, they always shoot me a text or call to let me know the flowers were delivered and received. The citizens of St. Charles are lucky to have a real tradesman in the floral arts. read more

I started a Yelp account just to be able to write a review for Paragon Flowers. Michael worked with us from across the country to plan our wedding. He helped us keep things easy and simple in the planning process. He was easy to get ahold of, and responded quickly to inquiries. On the day of our wedding - he arrived with the single most beautiful delivery of flowers I have ever seen in my life. He lined the aisle, huppah, cocktail tables, dinner tables with such bright colors, beautiful contrasting textures and heights, and simply made the decor for our event perfect. He outfitted the whole wedding party according to what we described as our vision, and truly outdid any of our expectations, staying completely within our budget. Michael made the day more beautiful than I ever could have dreamed, and he did it in the most accommodating, kind, modest way possible. As someone who has worked very hard on other people's weddings, it just meant the world to me to have someone have such attention to detail, style, and beauty for ours. Although we live out of state, we will forever be recommending Paragon Flowers to anyone who will listen. read more

Fantastic customer service! Highly recommend! My husband ordered flowers for me for Valentine's Day, and they arrived the day before and were beautiful. Unfortunately after a few hours some flowers began to wilt. I called to explain what happened and they called right back and said they would have a new arrangement at my house tomorrow..which is Valentine's Day. Sure enough first thing in the morning, on their busiest day, a beautiful new arrangement arrived. Will definitely use them again! read more

What a disappointment!! Zero stars if I could!! I ordered flowers for my daughters birthday Wednesday to be delivered Friday morning. The flowers delivered were not like the picture on their website, I called and questioned why? Was told they were similar and I was given what I ordered. I asked that something be done to rectify the situation. Was told they would be picked up and fixed then redelivered. Michael picked up the flowers, no apology not. Was extremely curt with my daughter, then proceeded to leave me a vm that there's nothing to do I'll be getting a refund!! Not at all what I asked for, I wanted them fixed since I paid over $100 including delivery fee. Michael did "redo" the flowers-he took the originals out of the 1st vase, pulled some flowers out and put everything in a smaller vase!!!! Not at all a "FIX" and to be rude on top of that. He also said upon delivering the 2nd flowers, make sure you tell her to put some vodka in there!! Are you kidding!!??? If that's what is going to keep the flowers longer, add it before they are delivered!!! My gosh!!! What a debacle!!! Think twice before ordering here!!!! read more

Probably the most unhappy florist in the USA. Flowers are really hit and miss. Our first experience wasn't great, flowers died after 4 days, he did begrudgingly replace them and I assumed it was a one off. Christmas arrangement was nice but small, a little overpriced - you wouldn't mind that if he wasn't so mean spirited but our third and final experience resulted in us getting the wrong arrangement all together, but he didn't want to hear it. He was exceptionally rude and aggressive. Avoid the place, he doesn't deserve your money. read more

First, let me say - by choosing Paragon Flowers you will not be let down. The work is absolutely beautiful and the quality is superior to others. In looking a florist for my wedding, I never thought I would find such a caring and understanding person. My vision was clear (so I thought) and I knew exactly what I wanted for the big day. It was important to me that the flowers had meaning and Michael made sure he incorporated every detail in the arrangements. He even helped make the groom's boutonniere very special and sentimental. His ideas were right in line with what we wanted: artsy and natural. About a week before my wedding I became unsure of my arrangement and was sure I had gotten it all wrong. Michael took the time to talk me through each flower, it's qualities and what I might be lacking in the bouquet. He made sure at the end of the conversation, I was happy and positive of the flowers we had chosen. Not many florists would take the time a week before the wedding to revamp the bride's bouquet. The day of my wedding he came in organized and quickly - making sure I knew everything was there. He was incredibly professional and everything was safely delivered. I received endless compliments on my arrangements the day of my wedding. I could not be happier with Paragon Flowers. I will be calling on Michael again for arrangements in the future. The only complaint I have - the flowers didn't last forever, I would love to have enjoyed them for many, many years. Thank you, Michael for your kindness and commitment to making each bouquet the very best. read more

I ordered two arrangements for our son's graduation party. They are absolutely beautiful and I received so many compliments on them during the party. The orange roses are gorgeous. Thank you so much! Can't wait to order again soon! :) read more

Great service from Paragon Flowers. I ordered a sympathy plant for my daughter-in-law when her brother passed away. I requested a specific time frame for delivery and they delivered within the time frame and when she wasn't home, they called her for instructions and then called me to let me know that they delivered according to those instructions. I would not hesitate to use Paragon again! read more

Michael was amazing to work with and he truly took our ideas and executed them perfectly for our wedding. He was also practical, and we appreciated his budget-friendly advice to get the most for our money. I am so pleased we chose him for our flowers! read more

I have worked with Michael from Paragon on two occasions. Both occasions came out perfect due to his attention to details, quality of flowers, and his understanding of what a client wants. Not only does he value his work - he is his work. He puts every inch of commitment and hard work into his floral arrangements. I worked with him on two weddings where I was the planner and he the florist. He was always a phone call or an email away - I never had an issue communicating with him. What I really loved is his understanding of the bride's vision. He really gets to know the bride and groom and knows how important his job is to their day. He also knows his product really well. He will tell you what works and will be honest if it doesn't. On both weddings, he was there on time and his execution was beautiful. Both my brides loved their florals and speak very highly of Michael. Michael is a wonderful person to have working on your flowers for any occasion. He gets his happiness from seeing his clients happy. He has this great sense of who you are and what you're looking for from his services. I was very lucky to get a chance to work with such a reliable and trustworthy vendor and hope this is only the beginning of many weddings/events together. read more

There simply could not be a better florist out there!!! Michael is amazing at his craft and is the most accommodating businessman I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. I have bought bouquet's monthly for the last 10 months, having them delivered locally to my gf, and they have always exceeded our expectations! The flowers are always fresh and beautiful as he shops at the markets in the mornings and they always last much longer than expected. I live 2000 miles away and he always knows who I am when I call to place an order. Today especially was a very time sensitive situation for an announcement that I had to make and he was able to put together a stunning arrangement in record time so that I could get my message delivered. It is customer service like this that will keep me a customer for life. (Especially now that I will be moving into the area;-) Thank you Michael. read more

Very friendly staff! Beautiful and fresh arrangement delivered to the most amazing person in the world. Thank you for stepping in and saving the day when another company dropped the ball. I will absolutely use your service going forward! read more

I grew up in the western suburbs and have since moved away. Far far away to California. I still have family and dear friends (who are the equivalent of family) living in St. Charles & Geneva. One of the things I've struggled with is finding a proper florist from afar to deliver high quality arrangements. I've set the bar very high for my requirements as far as the customer service and overall mix of flowers and arrangement (I do live in a place where we have great flower options year 'round). Honestly I've been so disappointed by the options and the lack of customer service that I've recently resorted to asking friends to simply pick up bouquets from Fresh Market or Orchids/Roses from Costco to deliver for me as a favor. Case in point, I found out late in the day today that a very dear family member was in the hospital and would likely be getting discharged tomorrow. She didn't want family to make a fuss so I didn't know sooner. I called a competing florist in Geneva (one I've ordered from before but didn't love) and asked if they could deliver today. Now, I know it's a Friday and it's 3:45pm but to be told that they were done delivering for the day and that they couldn't get it out until tomorrow was a HUGE disappointment. Enter Michael at Paragon. Thank goodness I found him. He was the third local florist I called. But from now on, he'll be on speed dial. From start to finish he was super accommodating and helpful and assured me he could and would deliver to Delnor by the end of day today. He selected the most gorgeous and amazing Oriental Lilies (which he has flown in) and successfully delivered before 6pm! He even called me to tell me they had arrived at the hospital (since he cannot have them taken directly to the room). I'm so happy there's a high quality - service oriented florist I can rely on from afar. I can't wait to meet Michael the next time I'm in town to thank him personally. A good florist is hard to come by - and worth every penny. My friends and family are going to be very spoiled with his arrangements in the very near future! read more

WOW!!! What a wonderful experience I just had working with Michael from Paragon Flowers. I called Michael this morning to order flowers for my wedding anniversary. I gave Michael a price range and a description of what I was looking for and I have to tell you that he blew away my expectations!! My wife called me at work to express your gratitude and she was gushing over the gorgeous bouquet of spring flowers Michael put together. I would absolutely use paragon flowers again read more

Michael was awesome to work with. I know very little about flowers and only had a vague idea of what I wanted for our wedding. I showed Michael pictures of my dress (which was colorful) and gave him an extremely vague idea of what I wanted. He took that small amount of information and came back to me with all sorts of great ideas. I really felt like I was in good hands. I told Michael my budget and he worked with me to make sure we were in that area. He offered ways to trim things here and there so I was comfortable with the price. On the day of my wedding he arrived exactly on time with my beautiful flowers and my special request flower and lollipop bouquet. Everything was perfect and amazing. We couldn't have been happier! read more

Thank you Paragon flowers for coming to my rescue in a pinch. I was out of town, for a funeral and told them my situation and budget. They helped me right away and made a beautiful small arrangement for a low rate. The flowers were fresh, smelled great and they even helped me to my car and strapped it in the seat belt. I can't thank you guys enough! read more

I called Paragon late on a Saturday morning and asked if I could order something to be delivered that day. I was surprised when Michael said that it wouldn't be a problem. I gave him a budget and told him to use his discretion. Needless to say, the recipient was thrilled with the bouquet and he even managed to guess her favorite color roses! She was absolutely thrilled and I am so glad that I called there and placed the order. Next occasion for me is Mother's Day. I will definitely call him in advance to place my order. Thanks Michael and staff for doing such a great job! read more

Gotta say disappointed isn't even the word. Offended at how Michael treated my future bride and mother-in-law. I am happy however in how rude you were to them because now we don't have to deal with you or pay you. I knew there was a reason your company was not on a vendor list at our venue. Remember this is customer service for the biggest and most important day in a couples lives. Try being a little more caring and compassionate. I'll be sure to let our venue and others in the area to blacklist you. Have a wonderful day. read more

I used Paragon flowers for my wedding this Sunday. The flowers turned out so beautiful. Michael really understood my vision for my big day and gave me the flowers of my dreams!

I highly recommended booking paragon flowers for your wedding day! read more

I flew in from out of town on a Friday morning to attend a celebration of life service. The family asked if I could find 48 red carnations and 12 purple roses for the service the next day -Saturday. Paragon Flowers came up on yelp and so I called. After telling Mike what I needed he made a phone call and within 5 minutes he called back stating he would have the order filled and I could pick them up when they opened the next morning!! Thank you Mike. I highly recommend Paragon as they delivered in a short time frame. read more
