I had been to 3 other local florists in the area before I contacted Debbies Floral. From the moment I met Nell until the day of my daughter's wedding, everything was perfect. Nell listened to what my daughter wanted(she was not with me)and took the time with me and I felt she completely understood what my daughter wanted. I dropped off fill in gold sprayed babies breath for her to add to bouquet and she immediately stopped what she was working on and looked up my account and reviewed everything. The day of the wedding, the bouquets-wristlets-boutonnieres were so beautiful and fresh-could not have asked for a better experience with Nell at Debbies Floral-love the she is locally owned. Highly recommend this florist for any event.

Nell did such an amazing job with our wedding floral! She went above and beyond what I expected. The centerpieces were gorgeous as were the bouquets. She listened to what I wanted and was respectful of my budget. She far exceeded my expectations! I enjoyed working with her and highly recommend Debbie's Floral.

I worked with Nell and have to say that she was a creative genius who helped me stay within my budget and provided flowers more beautiful than I imagined. First, she was quick to respond from my first phone call to make an appointment, to giving me an estimate, to the final week details. When I met with Nell to discuss what I wanted, it was amazing to see her work. She was envisioning what I was trying to describe. There were things that I was also unsure of and she asked me the questions or provided me with some pictures to help me. Then, Nell would say "hold on" and she would come back with an example, pulling flowers that were in the shop and creating it. Brilliant! And my bouquet. I described what I wanted, suggested the colors I loved, my favorite flowers, and never had I seen a more beautiful bouquet.

On the day of the wedding, every detail was taken care of. The flowers were PERFECT. The flowers for my unity candle were beautiful and those became the centerpiece for our sweetheart table during the reception. And Nell was so wonderful to work with. In general, I'm a worrier, after our first meeting, I felt inspired and full of joy. I can't describe it. She pinned the boutonnieres and corsages with so much tenderness. Final words, Nell loves what she does and she pours that love into her creations and made my wedding feel so special.

I live in Tampa, FL but got married in Gurnee, IL. Because of the long distance, planning was quite a challenge. I did all my planning with Nell and Katrina over the phone and email, so I was a bit nervous to see how the flowers would turn out for my big day. They did a phenomenal job. They respond to my phone calls and emails right away, and worked with me to get everything I wanted within my budget. Nell contacted me at least once a week to ask questions, clarify information, and update me. I did not actually meet Nell until the day of my wedding, and I had only compliments and no complaints. The bouquets for me and my bridesmaids were exactly what I had pictured, the flowers were fresh and stayed fresh all day and evening long--same with the boutonnieres for the guys, and they all look great in pictures. She also provided the flower decor for my cake--it made what was a simple cake look over the top beautiful! Debbie's Floral also provided an archway for my ceremony with draping that was PERFECT for my colors, given that Nell and Katrina never even had a sample of my colors. The floral arrangements on the archway were also beautiful--my parents and the groom's parents each took one of the arrangements home after the wedding and they stayed fresh for a week afterwards. My budget did not allow for any chair upgrades or covers, so Nell went above and beyond to provide some chair ties on the aisle chairs to make the space look wonderful for no additional cost. They were there for set up, conversion of the space from ceremony to reception and tear down at the end of the night. My centerpieces were beautiful, 10" cylinder vases with rocks, orchids and a floating candle. I had originally gone with roses to save money, but Nell decided the orchids looked more elegant and upgraded them at no extra cost. I was blown away by Debbie's Floral's professionalism, responsiveness and quality. I would absolutely recommend Debbie's Floral to anyone for their wedding floral needs.

The outside of Debbie's Floral does not look fancy, but the people inside (Nel, the owner, Katrina, the designer) are lovely to work with, and they make beautiful flowers.

My mom and I had a great experience planning my wedding flowers with Debbie's floral. They are very flexible about adding and removing flowers that you find you need or don't need (extra boutonnière for a late RSVP, or deciding to use sugar rather than real flowers on the cake) and they are also excellent about fitting flowers into whatever budget you have.

The groom mentions that the flowers were a little bit late to arrive the morning of the wedding, but our church was also a little hard to find. Some of the bridesmaids got lost on their way there, so I understand that.

Overall, it was great, and everyone complemented the flowers.

Debbie's Floral did a beautiful job for my daughter's wedding. We were extremely happy with all the bouquets and arrangements, they were the perfect colors that blended. The church and hall looked beautiful, everyone had wonderfull comments on the flowers. We gave the table arrangements away and friends said they lasted over a week and loved looking at them. Nell and Katrina were patient and very reassuring through the planning.

Debbie's Floral did a fantastic job on the flowers for our wedding. Jennifer was very helpful and patient in working with me, as I had a different color scheme (green & blue) and wasn't sure where to go with it, flower-wise. She had lots of suggestions, and thanks to her knowledge, creativity, and expertise, the flowers looked great! From the bride and bridesmaids' bouquets to the boutenneires to the table and ceremony flowers, everything was flawless! I highly recommend Debbie's Floral for quality flowers and service at an affordable price! :)

I have been a customer of Debbie's for years and not once have I been disappointed. I have done 2 weddings, several showers and have holiday arrangements done and have loved them all. They are a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend them to all!

Debbie's Floral is a professional, creative, and reliable wedding vendor. Their floral arrangements are beautiful and they deliver an excellent, stunning look for a great value. I have worked with them as a wedding vendor in the past with great results. In fact, I hired them in 2003 for my own wedding, before having worked with them as a vendor, and Jennifer was fabulous. It was easy to plan the details and make the proper flower selections with Jennifer and the staff in Mundelein. Thanks!

Debbie's Floral made all of the floral arrangements for one of my brides, Christy (you can see some of the photos from that wedding in my portfolio section under Christy and Gerald) and I was completely in love with them! The color palette of the bouquets was very elegant and the arch they made for the ceremony made the perfect accent for all the photos taken in the church. What's even more impressive was how they took all those flowers and then decorated the banquet hall for the reception as well. The centerpieces they made were also quite lovely. With 10+ years of experience, Debbie's Floral is a great place to turn to for any bride looking to have exquisite floral arrangements for their wedding!
