This place is awesome. I stopped by for a last minute gift for my former boss, and am so lucky I did. Ended up with a really unique vase with a wide variety of fresh hand-picked flowers- the selection there was great despite it being 3p on a Saturday! The flowers themselves were fantastic quality- my former boss specifically commented on how long they lasted. The price was really reasonable considering how elaborate the gift was. The store also sells other cool home goods like candles and essential oils, all curated from local businesses. The staff there were friendly, knowledgeable, and had a great ability to balance my preferences with their expertise, without making me feel either overruled or unsure of my choices. They gift wrapped my arrangement beautifully and with great care. What a fantastic addition to Halsted and the Bridgeport community. I'll be stopping by for all my floral needs from now on! read more

Great flower shop, much more than the usual neighborhood florist! They have come through for us several times and they have very interesting flowers by the stalk! read more

On the day of our June 2012 wedding, the flowers and decor were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. We received countless compliments from guests on the overall look of the flowers and decor, many people commenting on the flowers being the most beautiful and unique they've ever seen at a wedding! Natalie and Dan of ZuZu's Petals are truly artists! Not only are they an incredibly talented team, they also are very easy to work with and flexible throughout the whole planning process. Natalie answered every single email and phone call promptly and with genuine enthusiasm, ensuring the flowers and decor for our day was exactly what we envisioned. ZuZu's worked well within our budget without skimping on quality or quantity. I am amazed at everything they created for our big day! read more

I am incredibly late at reviewing my vendors for my wedding, but better late than never! ZuZu's did a perfect job for my June 2011 wedding. I had an inspiration picture from Martha Stewart weddings that I wanted a few changes made to and they did a gorgeous job. Natalie and the guy working there (so sorry I don't remember your name!) worked with me and made me feel completely at ease! They were reasonably priced - which EVERY bride can appreciate. On the day of my flowers were delivered promptly - it was one thing I never had to stress about! read more

Zuzu's Petals - my wedding bouquet - Florists Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Natalie and Zuzu's Petals supplied the flowers for our March 2014 wedding at the Patrick Haley mansion. At our initial meeting, Natalie sat down with us and was able to envision the perfect blend of flowers. All we provided was our color scheme! All centerpieces, bouquets, etc. were beautiful they day of the wedding. There was fresh rosemary in each bouquet which smelled amazing all night. The flowers were fresh, sturdy, and well put together. During the weeks leading up to the event, we had several changes and additions/subtractions on our end. Natalie was very professional and promptly answered all questions. She was fantastic! I would highly recommend Zuzu's petals for any wedding! read more

Zuzu's Petals - head table centerpieces - Florists Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Zuzu's is awesome and the owner Magda is great! I just moved to Bridgeport and was looking for a place to buy flowers and greens that wasn't a Mariano's, Home Depot, etc. They have beautiful arranged bouquets or build your own option. I've gone in and given her a price and a color scheme and she works wonders! I'll take photos next time I'm there because the shop is decorated and arranged so beautifully. We've bought a few succulents and house plants from here too. Much better selection than you'd see anywhere for miles! read more

Albeit a very late review, I wanted to reiterate how impressed we were with Zuzu's petals for our wedding. We ended up booking with Zuzu's Petals after our fabulous consultation that I mentioned initially. Natalie and her team at Zuzu's transformed our very urban venue into an indescribable event space. She took our vague ideas of having natural themes with the very odd chartreuse and royal blue color choices, and made the most stunning floral arrangements. She even purchased glassware to give the small votives an Asian/Moroccan feel. Needless to say, I came to Natalie with a lot going on in the way of a theme/look/colors. She took all of it and made it work flawlessly. I will let the pictures speak for themselves. Thank you, Zuzu's, for the creativity. Thank you for being an incredible florist to work with, for taking all of the intricate and outlandish thoughts I had and making it all into the most amazing, visual experience at our reception. After the event, the owner of the venue (which we thought was a standalone beautiful place) came to us and said he had never seen his venue look as good as it did for our wedding reception. That was 100% Natalie and her team transforming Loft on Lake from a beautiful, urban loft into something I never could have pictured in my wildest dreams! read more

Lovely shop with very friendly and helpful service. A gem in Bridgeport!

Working with Magda was great, her work was beautiful (esp. the centerpieces and bouquets) and were exactly the feel and vibe we were looking for. After a few conversations, she really understood what we wanted. She was also pretty flexible when it comes to adding to other items at the last minute and did work well with us. Also, appreciated her general laid back style. It was a great value overall! The one issue was at times a lack of or slow responsiveness to emails and other communications, but understandable due to the busy wedding season. read more

This review is far overdue, but nevertheless, we loved working with Magda! She is so creative and helpful. We had a limited floral budget and a big vision. She heard us out, heard our "perfect wedding" dream, and then took into consideration our budget. She gave solutions and alternatives to help keep us within our budget. The day of the wedding Madga was running behind schedule but she called well in advance to let us know so we would not worry / prep should we be cutting it close. Fortunately, it did not effect our schedule at all. Once delivered the flowers were gorgeous and my bouquet was far more beautiful than I had envisioned. Thanks, Magda! read more

I live in the neighborhood but had never heard of this florist until a lovely coworker sent me a beautiful get well bouquet from Zulu's Petals. The arrangement was lovely and the flowers lasted a long time. Such a great addition to the area! I will definitely use them in the future. read more

They were awesome! I called about a week before Valentine's Day with no clear idea about what I was looking for, and they helped set me up ASAP, were friendly and cordial the whole time, and flexible when weather threw a wrench into our original delivery plans. And my wife loved the flowers! A great neighborhood spot! read more

i have never seen such gorgeous work in all my life. Take a look at the weddings featured on the ZZ webpage and you will see simple, elegant, and tasteful flowers. As a bride, you will encounter stress. Natalie and Dan listen and create your vision. When the flowers were delivered to my hotel room, I lost my breath as they were so beautiful. I wanted a wedding with peony on July 1st. Natalie made it happen (on a budget). Other vendors stated that peony in July would be very expensive. When I first went to visit ZUZU's, I explained that I wanted Pink Peonies on every table and a flower pedal runner in the grass. She said, "you want casual elegance." Wow, she got it in 10 minutes! Also, take it all the way and ask Natalie to put flowers on the cake. I did not have flowers on the cake and wish I would have. My cake was "just o.k." Knowing what I know now, I would have given her full creative control to add things along the way. I love flowers and knew I wanted to have them , but cannot believe how much they contributed to the day! :) Also, Check out what she does for the kids! We had hair wreaths that were fresh, real, and fit perfectly. The last / final payment must be made with a check. Please e-mail me if you would like to see pictures! I may post some at a later date! read more

What an excellent artist! I photographed work by Zuzu's this past August. Her choice in color combination was exciting and elegant. I also loved her combination of simple pieces on the cocktail tables and more detailed pieces at the center of the dinner tables for the wedding. The bouquets were clean and fresh and stayed that way until the end of the evening. Cannot wait to work with her again! - Liesl Diesel Photo read more

I couldn't be any more thrilled with ZuZu's Petals! We hired ZuZu's to provide flowers for our August 2011 Chicago wedding. My fiancé and I met with 2 other florists (both in the city) and then went for a shot in the dark by meeting with Natalie in Orland (we are both from Tinley Park). After looking at their website, I got a sense that ZuZu's wasn't your typical suburban florist that made bouquets exclusively with carnations and roses. Natalie's style is very city-chic and so tasteful! I immediately felt comfortable with her and could tell she understood my "vision" (even though my description of what I was looking for was pretty vague and I knew nothing about the flowers that I liked). She was also fantastic about working within our budget (even below it!), which was incredible. While her services may be more expensive than other suburban florists, she was a good value in comparison to the other city florists from whom we received proposals. Within 15 minutes of our meeting, I had a proposal in my email inbox (we literally were still on our way back to our city residence). She is extremely organized, juggling lots of changes here and there after we considering how many candles we wanted, how many tables we had, what types of flowers I wanted in my bridal bouquet, etc. When Natalie dropped off the bouquets for me and the ladies, I was so thrilled! The colors were so bright and amazing! The flowers were breathtaking! Our centerpieces at our reception were also great! The pictures speak for themselves. I would absolutely, 100% recommend Natalie to anyone looking to work with a professional and extremely talented florist. read more

I would definitely agree with the above review--Natalie was so easy and awesome to work with. She was responsive, prompt and professional from day one. The flowers were GORGEOUS on my wedding day (exactly what I had wanted and more!) and were reasonably priced (bonus). She even included an extra boutonniere for my groom (who ended up needing it since I picked a delicate orchid which got smashed accidentally!). I would highly recommend Zuzu's Petals to any bride who wants fresh, modern, gorgeous blooms delivered with excellent customer service on her wedding day. (Skip Aberdeens--Natalie's beautiful calla lilies lasted all day in the sunshine. ) read more

I worked at Zuzu's Petals for Magda in the summer of 2021 and was not paid after following up several times, asking about my payment. Then she laid me off and brushed off my requests to be paid for the work I completed. I still haven't been paid from helping with weddings, cleaning the store, washing buckets, and doing hours of work for Magda. Two other employees from the same time have also not been paid in full for their work for Magda. Please don't support this business. Magda put me and other employees in a really difficult position by refusing to pay us during a pandemic. Please shop somewhere that pays their workers for their time, it's the bare minimum. read more

The flowers for my daughter's wedding on 12/11/21 were beautiful! The bridesmaids and brides bouquets were nothing short of outstanding! The greenery and candles on the farm tables were festive and romantic. We were so happy we used this florist. Thank you Magda for all your help! read more

Zuzu's Petals came highly recommended to me which is why I am so bummed with the poor customer service and professionalism. I was in touch with Magda since the beginning and we set up our initial design presentation. My fiance and I drove down to the store for the appointment and when we got to the store the assistant said Magda wasn't there. Not knowing the reasoning behind her no-show and if it was an emergency or not, we were understanding about it. I proceeded to email Magda 3 times to try and reschedule. My fiance called the store. We still have not heard from anyone at Zuzu's Petals since June 28th when we were stood up. Bummer! read more

My flowers were never delivered to the church, personal flowers were all in poor condition/dead, my bouquet was not made to specifications, and corsages were dead. They did refund me for the flowers that were not delivered/dead but it was VERY disappointing to walk down the isle blind sighted and have no clue that none of my flowers were there (no one even told me beforehand that they wouldn't arrive). Though I did get an apology, I still have no clue what happened to cause all of the problems with the flowers. read more

Amazingly helpful and knowledgeable. Needed to send a plant as gift to friend and found just the most perfect plant and pot. Loved!

Natalie and Dan provided not only gorgeous flowers for my wedding and beautiful decor set-up, they gave me a lot of ease knowing that I had very little to worry about on my wedding day. It has been an absolute blessing to find ZZP as they truly helped create the dream wedding I had envisioned in my head for so many years. It was so refreshing to find a flower designer team that holds so much creativity, but also listens to exactly what the couple is looking for. I was not a bride that was looking for the traditional "wedding" flower look. Natalie and Dan helped transform my floral ideas into reality and did an awesome job transforming our County Line Orchard reception space into the rustic and classic look I was very much hoping for. I cannot begin to describe how many compliments we have gotten on our wedding day and that is in huge part to our amazing flowers and decor! I would highly recommend in your search for a floral designer, that you make sure to meet with Dan and Natalie because I can guarantee you will end up booking ZZP for your wedding or big event! read more

I met with the owner for about an hour to discuss the floral design for my fall wedding. I thought the initial consultation went well. I was happy & excited with all of her ideas. I was told I'd receive a proposal via email within the next few days. Despite making several attempts at phone & email inquires, I never heard from her again. I'd rather receive a "I'm sorry, I no longer can do the wedding," than experience a complete vanishing act. It was disappointing. read more

Natalee from Zuzu's was incredible to work with. She was prompt, responsive, and the flowers were amazing. She spent so much time with us making sure everything was right, and on the day of the wedding when my wife's dress got torn, Natalee was there in ten seconds with a sewing kit and fixed everything. Would highly recommend ZuZu read more

Our wedding was June 23, 2012. Natalie did an AMAZING job. I actually could not get over how perfect everything was. It was much better than I had even imagined. The planning process with Zuzu's Petals was easy. The delivery and set up was smooth and absolutely no stress for me. On top of how great they were, they are also affordable. I am so glad we went with them for our wedding and I highly recommend them to others. read more

Natalie and Zuzu's did my flowers for my wedding this past weekend. They were BEAUTIFUL! She took my entire vision for the wedding and put it in the flowers. Plus, she was totally affordable and able to work with my budget. read more

I will never use another florist. I wish they had been my wedding florists. Natalie and Dan are amazing artists and really special people too. The party we threw my mom was in in April (I know I'm late), but people are still talking about the fabulous centerpieces and mood enhancing fabric panels. Zuzu's can do anything! They believe in flowers, not filler. The quality of which is unbelievable. You will always get more than you expected. read more

Magda was immediately familiar with our chosen venue and made flower planning a snap, all of her suggestions were excellent and she did a great job accommodating our special requests! Her team was really helpful getting things scheduled and progressing smoothly along the way, and the price was reasonable. Highly recommended, thank you again! read more

Natalie did a beautiful job on our flowers for our wedding. She was incredibly accommodating when it came to delivery to my house and then the venue and putting everything together at the venue. Every bouquet was outstanding. I highly recommend Zuzu's Petals! I could not have been happier with how everything turned out. She knew my vision and executed it with perfection. Thank you Zuzu's Petals! read more

Natalie did all the flowers for our wedding 2 weeks ago and everything turned out absolutely perfect! She was very helpful in guiding me through different options and helping me pick what was right for our big day. She was even amazing when I changed my mind after our first meeting and pretty much redesigned everything we had first selected! She is very prompt in answering messages and sending out proposals- and her prices were incredibly affordable! I can't say enough good things about this amazing company! You won't be disappointed with Zuzu's! read more

I worked with Natalie and Dan from ZuZu's for my wedding in June. They were so easy to work with and were able to help us take everything we envisioned and make it a reality (and all within our budget too!). Natalie was extremely responsive, helpful and made what could have been a stressful part of wedding planning so easy and enjoyable :) Our flowers the day of the wedding were so gorgeous...everyone couldn't stop talking about them! Trust in Zuzu's for your wedding day needs...they won't disappoint! read more

Amazing! Natalie is a joy to work with for wedding flowers. She listened to my ideas and created a cohesive vision of flowers, table linens, and vases. I changed my mind many times and she was so accommodating and supportive of my ideas and bringing me back to reality :) Natalie also helped with so many details - the color of the table linens, the color of the picture frames used on an accent table, the color of the menus, etc. She claims to love the details and I hope she is right, because I loved hearing her professional advice on everything! She is a gem in the wedding world - book her if she is available on your wedding day!! read more

Natalie and Dan provided my flowers for my October 2013 wedding in Chicago. My flowers were very beautiful. I was so happy with all of the decor, and setup upon my arrival at the restaurant. There were very easy to work with and very budget friendly. All of my guests loved the flowers, and everyone wanted to take a centerpiece home. I am so happy that I used ZuZu's petals for my wedding. I was extremely pleased with their work! read more

Magda and her team is by far the best! She made our wedding much better than I could ever dream of!! Talk about someone who is passionate about making your fairytale wedding come true!!

Thank you so much for being so great Magda! read more

Zuzu's has the best arrangements! The owner Magda is absolutely fabulous. She's professional and really knows this business. She frequently stocks our salon with gorgeous arrangements that seem to last forever. I highly recommend Zuzu's for events or everyday deliveries. read more

Holy cow Natalie and her team are amazing! I first learned about Zuzu's Petals from a family friend who had used them for her daughter's wedding. She said that they were great to work with and their prices were extremely reasonable. Natalie was SO great to work with. I initially sent her my vision via email. We later set a meeting time and worked through some of my designs in an hour's time. I showed Natalie some examples of what I liked and explained the vision I was going for. I left her with some creative freedom, knowing that SHE is the expert. On the day of my wedding, I was completely SPEECHLESS! Her final products were WAY more amazing than anything I found on the bridal sites, pinterest, magazines, etc. My country charm/vintage/apple orchard wedding was classy, beautiful and totally magazine worthy! ;) The guests were totally blown away, and we received SO many compliments. Natalie and her team are absolute EXPERTS at their trade. They think out-of-the-box when needed and have access to the best flowers and accessories to complete their pieces. Find them on facebook and look at some of their examples. Mine are in the "Summer 2012" folder. :D Thank you to Natalie and her team for making our day so perfect!! read more

Magga is awesome and she truly floralized our wedding day and made it look beautiful! Magda was super friendly, easy to work with, very organized, and listened to what we wanted/gave us ideas on what our florals could look like. She looked at my Pinterest board and was able to create a sample centerpiece for our tasting that was exactly what we envisioned. The flower arrangements, bouquets, wrislets, boutonnieres, tie backs, aisle runner accents, cake topper florals, and the floral letters were so beautiful and we received so many compliments on them! We even had people fighting at the end of the night over the centerpieces to take home! Magda was easy to get in touch with and was such a joy to work with. Without hesitation, I highly recommend ZuZu's Petals for your floral needs. Thank you Magda and Zuzu's Petals for truly making our wedding day! read more

We could not have been happier with our flowers and service.. We got married on October 15th and had our ceremony outside.. we asked for fall colors and a trendy style and that is exactly what we got... Natalie the owner is AMAZING... getting married is stressful enough and dealing with her was a breeze... there were never any issues and she is so kind and personable... we had so many great comments about the flowers which makes us feel good as well... I would defenitely recommend Zuzu's to anyone looking for gorgeous flowers and amazing service... read more
