I have ordered flowers from the flower cottage many time over the years, and they have always done an amazing job. Most recently, I ordered a funeral spray for my uncles funeral. I called them up and let them know what my price range was and asks if they would be able to put something together for me in Bears colors, since my uncle was a big Bears fan. They knocked it out of the park! I was very happy with what they put together and feel like I got a great value for what I paid. read more

I visited The Flower Cottage a week before my wedding and Kevin and Patty showed me some example bouquet, corsages, and boutonnieres. The bouquet comes with a small vase with some water at the bottom. They took the time to talk to me and I felt very comfortable working with them. Kevin accommodated our request for a few color substitutions which were requested for cultural reasons. The prices were very reasonable and more than competitive. Delivery was easy (only couple of miles from their store). read more

Excellent customer service, great value and beautiful flowers. Family owned since 1952

Stellar service! Walked in and asked for a pink and red flower arrangement. She was able to immediately customize one and did a fabulous job. Reasonably priced for the amazing quality. Hard to find a solid dependable florist but this shop delivers! read more

Don't let the size and location of this flower shop fool you. It may look small and independently owned but this is a great place to get those special customized orders from! My sister used this lovely shop before and told me about it for my daughter's corsage. On top of being professional this place and the staff exudes a warm welcoming family feeling as soon as you enter the shop. They have a variety of color ribbons to choose from and we found one that matched perfectly with her dress. They are not expensive, the quality of their work is awesome and my order was ready on time with no problems. The only thing I will critique is the straight pin that can with the boutonnière. The pin didn't hold up to good and the flower kept turning so maybe including two pins or a sturdy safety pin attached to the ribbon itself may help. Besides that one small thing I highly recommend this place and I will definitely use them in the future. Thank you for adding a small but beautiful touch to my daughter's day. read more

On a Thursday evening my fiance daughter informed him that she needed a corsage for prom that was on that Saturday. That Thursday evening I called many places who said they couldnt do it at short notice because it was also mothers day weekend which I understood. I called this florist Friday morning and without hesitation they said yes they could do it. We were very happy. The corsage came out great and everyone was so nice even though they were very busy. I am definitely going back to them towards the end of the month because I have nephew prom coming up. Thanks again you guys were amazing and I will see you soon. read more

Wow, I just want to say that is a breath of fresh air to actually speak to someone on the phone. The duo of Kevin and John who own this business for 75 years says a lot about the care and quality of their pro. It was my first time ordering and I will glad to give them my business again. Thank you for the personal touches and for your dedication to the neighborhood. Support small businesses. read more

I was looking for a local florist to make an arrangement for my friend in Chicago. I did a thorough google search and came across this florist. Instead of booking online, I called to see what options were available. The woman who answered was most helpful by asking for my budget and if there were any special requests. I only gave suggested colors & a few flowers I did not want in the arrangement. Based on the reviews I read and her reassurance that the owner would do a good job, I decided to trust her. Maybe 45 minutes later, the owner emailed me with a receipt, told me they were ready for pick-up (as I requested although they deliver) and asked if I wanted a card (that I forgot to mention while ordering) attached. The whole process took less than 2 hours and after asking someone to pick them up, my friend was overjoyed with the final product. The arrangement was beautiful! If I ever need a floral arrangement again, in Chicago, I'll be sure to call this place. read more

The Flower Cottage - Pink and Orange Rose Arrangement - Florists Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Hello everyone, Please be aware of the bait and switch. This is February 2019. Please be careful when ordering with Gerry (a lady staff member). I ordered flowers from Flower Cottage for a dozen roses for over $80. It was delivered with 9 roses. I called and asked to have this corrected. Gerry kept telling me that I told her a different arrangement with less than a dozen roses. I corrected her and stated I referred to a "dozen roses" during the entire order, which she verbally confirmed while I was on the phone with her. Now she kept repeating that I asked for the arrangement with less. This is clearly gaslighting and abusive (google it). Several time during our conversation I asked to speak to Kevin, the owner. She never responded. Silence. I then stated that I've ordered from Flower Cottage last year and the flowers were again short by 1 or 2. I dismissed it as the shop having a bad day. It happens. When I mentioned this, she then stated that they will correct it (pick up the old order and deliver the correct order with a dozen roses. That's fair) and we hang up. She calls back stating that it will be over $20 more for this delivery, "is that okay with you?". I said "Well, no. Its not." She then says "I'm going to refund your money and pickup to old arrangement. Good bye." She hangs up on me as I, again, politely ask to speak to Kevin. Update1: The owner Kevin called and explained that he wanted to make this right. I will update and post pictures when this is actually done. Update2: Kevin delivered and fixed everything. Was extremely embarrassed at first, but all is right now. Thank you Kevin. read more

I'm always nervous when I'm sending flowers to someone and I'm not going to see the arrangement in person and the delivery is set for the weekend. I was pleasantly surprised when I called to confirm the flowers would be delivered on Saturday that the lady on the phone knew by name (the person the flowers were being delivered to) and that they were en route to her at that moment. And then later I saw the flower arrangement posted on social media, and it was a lovely bouquet! I just got the standard, and I can't imagine what the more expensive arrangements would look like (great ... that's what). I'm very pleased with my experience and I would definitely consider Flower Cottage in the future for flower arrangements and delivery! read more

Wonderful and happy flower arrangements were sent to my family members. They were happy with each one. Also, they do flower arrangements for funerals. read more

I had Kevin helped me with the flowers and table decorations for my wedding. When I initially came in for a consultation, Kevin was very helpful and knowledgeable when answering my questions. He told what flowers would be in season, what flowers may or may not last long within the day, and he helped with giving me lots of options for my budget and the vision that I wanted. I highly recommend Kevin for any wedding floral arrangements because he is professional and is committed to helping you create your vision within your budget. I've also learned that this is a local family run business and I love supporting businesses like these. On the day of the actual wedding, he personally delivered the bouquets, the boutonnieres, and corsages on the time we requested. The bouquets were all placed in glass vases with water and the other items were nicely placed in boxes. He gave us simple instructions to make sure the flowers were still fresh. The best part was that these flowers and the bouquet were still in tact at the end of the wedding day! Also, he truly delivered in creating the garlands at the reception that I wanted. Can't say enough great things about The Flower Cottage and their friendly services! Side note- One time after the consultation, I bought a few roses from them and the flowers that Kevin picked out for me, bloomed beautifully and lasted for weeks! Great quality flowers! read more

The owner was very nice, and he went above and beyond in getting me the freshest white roses I have ever seen. This was for a 1 year anniversary for the passing of a friend, so the flowers were very important. A dozen white roses with the vase and a cardboard base + wrapping for around $60 was a great deal. The base held the flowers secured during its time at the cemetery, even the harshest winds couldn't knock it over. The flowers are still in pristine condition after 1 week. The compliments I was getting over these flowers were nonstop. The Flower Cottage definitely did my friend some justice! I will be coming back! read more

We worked with Kevin to order flowers for our small wedding in July, and he was wonderful. We had a few set parameters, like bold colors and a pretty limited budget, and Kevin had excellent suggestions from there. He invited us into the shop to talk through some ideas that he created on the spot. Kevin was particularly helpful about finding less expensive suggestions that were similar to what we'd seen in pictures. My bouquet, husband's boutonniere, and flowers for our parents were all beautiful! I will definitely be shopping here again, and have already recommended The Flower Cottage to another couple planning their local wedding. Thanks, Kevin! read more

Just received a birthday delivery from the Flower Cottage. I wasn't home when the delivery person showed up, so he left me a nice message stating that he'd leave my flowers in the building foyer for when I returned. The flower arrangement is absolutely stunning, and the cute balloon and custom wine glass were a nice added touch. I'm so glad they're in the neighborhood and plan on making them my go-to flower shop. read more

I have ordered from The Flower Cottage for years. Way back when NAPA was on 35th and Normal back in the 70's. I have never been disappointed. You really get a beautiful arrangement for your money. Once you order from them, you'll never order from anyone else! I just ordered an arrangement for my daughter's 50th birthday. It was delivered at her work after 3:00pm per my instructions. It's so nice to place an order and know that it will be delivered correctly! read more

I highly recommend the Flower Cottage for any of your floral needs for special occasions. We worked with Kevin and the Flower Cottage for our wedding this past weekend and it was one of the best decisions made! From the very beginning Kevin was extremely helpful in answering all my questions. He is extremely knowledgeable, very personable and will go above and beyond to make sure your floral arrangements are everything and more. Even the morning of the wedding we added a few flowers last minute and without hesitation he made it work. Working with Kevin was simply amazing. read more

Kevin is amazing, my husband and I hired him to be the florist for wedding! We had a budget in mind and Kevin went out of his way to work with us in keeping the budget. He gave us options for our budget and had wonderful suggestions. He shared all his knowledge which was very helpful. I wanted a garland for the sweet heart table, trusted his recommendations and he amazed me on how beautiful it turn out. My reception centerpieces were stunning, people commented on how beautiful the centerpieces looked. I cannot thank Kevin enough for all he did. I needed my bridal bouquet, corsages, and boutonnieres earlier in the morning due to first look, I emailed Kevin on the changes and he went out of his way to deliver them earlier than agreed. He made me feel calm and relaxed as a bride and for that I cannot thank you enough. I will definitely go back for any of my floral needs! read more

Recently enlisted Kevin and the Flower Cottage to do the floral pieces for our wedding. He was great to work with, rather laid back. Even though our order was small he was very accommodating and created very pretty arrangements. They pride themselves on not making substitutions for flowers as other florists may do for arrangements. read more

Working with The Flower Cottage for my wedding day needs was absolutely the best decision I could have made. Kevin had constant communication with me via email and phone leading up to the wedding. He would send pictures of different shades of flowers to make sure he was creating the perfect centerpieces and bouquets that I was imagining. On the day of my wedding Kevin and his wife made sure they were at the location plenty of time in advance so the wedding party would have their flowers for preceremony photos. They spent hours at the venue arranging the flowers and creating a beautiful arch. They were so knowledgable and personable and put in more time and effort than any other florist would have done. The bouquets and arrangements turned our beautifully and everything exceeded my expectations! Highly recommend working with The Flower Cottage! read more

Kevin and the girls at the Flower cottage did my wedding bouqets and flowers for the parents and I can not begin to say what a wonderful job they did. The flowers were beautiful but more importantly Kevin was great, he was such a pleasure to work with and truly cares about his customers. Definitely not just in it for the money like some places are. He personally delivered my flowers to me at my ceremony site and to me, that means a lot. I would highly recommend them to everyone for any occasion big or small. read more

Kevin put together a fantastic tropical arrangement for my aunt's funeral. I couldn't attend but I was told by many that it was the best one at the wake. Great Job! read more

Kevin did a exquisite job on my sympathy flowers for my stepfather. He even called me long distance to check with me on details and went out of his way to deliver it on a Sunday to the Funeral Home. Because I was so far away, I was very concerned. My brother took a foto of the flowers because they were so beautiful and emailed it to me. Great job...Kevin! read more

A friend gave me the most beautiful fresh cut bouquet of flowers in a lovely vase from this store. Everyone who saw it was impressed as was I. The flowers lasted longer than any I have ever received in my life, at least 3+ weeks. I will certainly go here when I am in need of flowers even though it is not in my neighborhood. As you can tell, I highly recommend them. read more

Geri and Kevin are some of the nicest people around. I have used the discount online places and were not happy.....they are down the street from where my daughter works and I have used them several times and will not use anyone else....support local businesses! read more

Kevin is so nice and wants to deliver the best product he can. He gave me tons of recommendations for my wedding and delivered beautiful bouquets on the day of. They're friendly and professional and want to work with your price range. Even a week later the bouquets (left at my parents' house in water) still looked pretty good. They're a quality flower shop at an affordable price and I would recommend them to anyone for any big event. read more

The flowers were nice. I had requested delivery. I told them online and in a separate email specific delivery instructions. They were to call before delivering the flowers so that the recipient would answer the door. They did not do that and left the flowers on the porch. Luckily a neighbor came by a took the flowers into her house before someone else could take them. Why ask for specific directions if you are not going to use them? I will not use this florist again! read more
