    A wonderful experience!

    Kate was so so helpful and great with our wedding florals. I'm so glad we trusted her with our decor! She was always willing to brainstorm with us, and really took our ideas and brought them to life.

    A wonderful florist!!!

    Flora did a fantastic job for us! Our bouquets came out beautifully and the centerpieces were perfect! Kate was so easy to work with and made suggestions to my ideas which made it even better! I loved working with them and highly recommend Flora to any couples in need of a florist!

    Flora Chicago's reply:

    Thanks for the kind words Jane. We had such fun working on your wedding and are so happy to hear your feedback. Your vases made all the difference!

    Amazing value

    Flora exceeded my expectations ABOVE and BEYOND. Seriously, my jaw dropped when we walked into the venue before our guests. I chose Flora because they are one of the few Chicago florists who do not require a minimum $ (we did not have bridesmaids and groomsmen), were affordable, and are located in my neighborhood. I worked with Sarah mostly and sent her pictures of tropical flowers with vague instructions about how I wanted bright colors and a very large bridal bouquet. WOW did she deliver. I received SO many compliments on my bouquet and the reception flowers (a few small arrangements and bud vases on the tables). Sarah was also able to make pocket boutonnières of tropical flowers which also received a lot of compliments. Honestly, I don't know how they did it with our budget but trust these women - they know what they are doing!! It is hard to impress me and I was blown away.

    Saved my wedding!

    I would give 10 stars if I could! My wedding florist did not show up on the morning of my wedding. We got in touch with Flora and Kate quickly jumped to action. Within just a few hours, Kate helped my friends find flowers and put together aisle arrangements, bouquets, centerpieces, and more. She was so sweet and the flowers looked incredible. Our guests had no idea of the morning drama. I can not thank Kate enough for saving my big day. My only regret is not finding and hiring Flora from day 1.

    I can't imagine more beautiful flowers!

    I cannot recommend getting your floral arrangements here enough! The women running everything are so kind and wonderful and creative. Working with them was great because they were very open about the costs of things so we were able to come up with a plan to stay in budget. I really appreciate that they never tried to upsell me or convince me to get something I didn't want. I sent them inspiration images and a budget and they were able to create something more beautiful than I thought possible! It's been over a month since the wedding and I'm still getting people complimenting the flowers. They really brought everything together and created some beautiful backdrops for photos. And my bouquet was just stunning! It looked absolutely amazing with my dress! Thank you so so much for everything! :)

    Flora designed our wedding flowers and arrangements and I couldn't have been more pleased! After meeting with a couple other florists and feeling as though none of them really understood what I was looking for, I met Chuck at Flora and he was brilliant! First things first, I know nothing about flowers, types of flowers etc. I showed him pictures and described what I was looking for and he got it to a "T"! He went through a booklet and showed me different flowers that fit with what I described to give me an idea. Then he started pulling together a little mock bouquet of what he had in the shop to really give me a visual, which completely confirmed my decision to go with Flora! No other shop had done that. Fast forward to the day of, delivery and set up were done perfectly and when I received the bridal party flowers to my hotel I almost was in tears because they were EXACTLY how I had imagined and absolutely perfect. Flora and Chuck really made my day perfect with those flowers! Thank you!!

    Randy and Flora were one of the best choices I made for our wedding. Randy worked with me from the moment I met him up until my wedding day to help me get the flowers and look I wanted, all staying within my budget. When I saw the flowers that day I was surprised because they were even better than what I had imagined! Many, Many people commented on how great the flowers were and how beautiful the color scheme was. You will not regret choosing Flora for your wedding florist. And if you get the chance, work with Randy!

    We worked with Randy from Flora and he was fantastic! He created modern, textured arrangements that were stunning (and affordable). He was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended.

    Flora was amazing. From our initial meeting I KNEW we were on the same page. Everything they suggested filled in the gaps where I wasn't sure about something perfectly. What they created was exactly what I imagined - except better. And their customer service is impeccable. They were totally flexible in terms of dropping of flowers for the wedding party at a different location from the venue, so wonderful. I felt like we were working with close friends who truly cared about us. I know they did.

    Before I met Gretchen I had talked to three other florists -- I was thrilled to find her to be a breath of fresh air. I had no wedding party, a modest reception, and a limited budget and had started feeling like the previous florists weren't interested in my comparatively meager needs. Gretchen immediately made me feel that my expectations were reasonable and that I could have beautiful floral treatments within the budget I required.
    She was easy to work with -- full of suggestions and ideas. She offered alternatives when things needed to be adjusted for the sake of budget, taste, or logistics. She was creative in her problem solving and made me feel as though I wasn't skimping on anything.
    She was a gracious presence throughout the wedding planning. I believed that she was excited about working with me and truly wanted Flora's presence at the wedding to enhance the day for everyone involved. It was nice to feel so confident in my choice of florist.
    My wedding day went by quickly, but I remember her wishing me well and being excited about my wedding day. She was also kind and gentle with my mother and grandmother as she put on their corsages.
    I feel that everything turned out wonderfully -- the bouquet, corsages, ceremony flowers, centerpieces, cake. They were minimal and casual, yet, I believe, still looked elegant and rich.
    As far as cost goes, I believe Flora is on par with other florists I spoke with, if not a bit more economical. I feel this is largely due to their generous policy to allow rental of votives and vases instead of requiring us to purchase them. I'm quite happy I didn't have to deal with distributing or gathering 100 votives and 30 vases at the end of the evening.

    I had to deal with a change in my contact person and I was very upset, but Randy, my new contact was wonderful and put my fears to ease. My wedding flowers were exactly what I wanted and I thought everything turned out gorgeous! They even ordered special flowers for me at the last minute because Randy thought they would be perfect with my centerpieces. I was a very picky bride about my flowers and I was extremely happy with the results from Flora.

    Gretchen was so great! Very friendly and flexible. She did a preview of all the flowers for the ceremony which sealed the deal for us. Everything was magnificent, all the flowers stayed fresh and crisp all day.

    We worked with Gretchen and she was extremely friendly, professional, creative and supportive. Our flowers were beautiful -- in fact, my bouquet was almost identical to the inspiration photo I provided. They were easy to work with and their prices were competitive with other Chicago florists -- plus they have no minimum size order so they're perfect for small or large weddings. We were slightly disappointed that Gretchen wasn't there for set-up on the day of our wedding, but her associate did a good job and was prompt and courteous.

    Chuck was great from start to finish. He took the time to understand what I wanted for our wedding flowers, and he delivered it perfectly with very little further input (and, most important, no worrying) from me! Everything was gorgeous, delivered on time, and promptly picked up. Thanks, Chuck!

    Flora was wonderful for my flowers! We had them design the centerpieces for the tables and the flowers for the wedding party. The centerpieces were amazing. Flora had great ideas in helping me decide which centerpieces to use and their designers did an amazing job. They were willing to work with me in my budget which was great, too!

    The best thing about working with Flora is they gave me exactly what I wanted for my wedding. I didn't focus too much on flowers. Instead of turning me away or talking me into something more than I wanted, like many other forists I talked to, Flora listened to me and delivered exactly what I asked for.

    My bridal bouquet was mango calla lilies with rhinestone accents throughout. It was simply stunning. My groom had a mathing calla lily from my bouquet. The girls carried a single bird of paradise with the stem wrapped in gold wire- my favorite part! The groomsmen had deconstructed bird of paradise boutennieres. Gorgeous.

    Flora did a beautiful job on our wedding. They were very reasonably priced. And the best part about them is they listened to what I wanted and delivered accordingly.

    Flora is a fabulous vendor for weddings! Gretchen helped design floral pieces that were innovative and fit into out budget without a hitch! We loved the little touches that everyone had: my bouquet was gorgeous, as were the men's flora works. The only challenge was transportation for the flowers post-wedding but Flora was phenomenal with all the pre-and during wedding details!

    We used Flora for our wedding flowers recently, and Randy was really fun to work with, and we ended up with beautiful flowers.
