  Michelle and team are the best!

  Michelle was absolutely awesome to work with during the months leading up to our wedding and made sure everything looked absolutely perfect on our big day. We met with a few florists and Michelle made us feel like she understood the vision we were going for even better than we could have voiced ourselves. The center pieces were simple and detailed at the same time, the bridal bouquet was huge in the best way possible, and all of the wedding party extras were perfect. We can’t thank Michelle and her team enough!

  I'm still having dreams about Ilda's beautiful flower arrangements. I left most of the decisions in her hands and was not disappointed! She spent hours with us creating test arrangements and really understood the look we were going for. The variety of different vases and decor pieces were great too.

  Ilda and her team did an incredible job on flowers for our April wedding. She incorporated ranunculus, roses, hydrangea and greenery into some of the most beautiful arrangements I'd ever seen. She even helped make things sentimental - she used one of my grandfather's ties to wrap my bridal bouquet. I'm getting the flowers preserved so I can hang on to them. Ilda's work is perfect - one of the best, if not the best, florist in town.

  Just fabulous! That's what I have to say about Michelle and her team of brilliant florists. They made our reception beautiful. For that we are forever grateful.

  Ilda and her team did an amazing job with the flowers and decor for my wedding. Ilda was wonderful to work with…she is so creative and flexible. My bouquets and centerpieces were gorgeous…I received a million compliments on them. They also decorated my ceremony with a breathtaking birch arch/chuppa which was amazing. Ilda stayed exactly within my budget and is so reasonably priced, especially for Chicago. We were so lucky to have found her…would highly recommend her to anyone!

  I can't say enough good things about Lance and the Blumgarten team. They take your vision and make it 100 times better then you could ever imagine, and they are such a pleasure to work with! I would send any bride to Blumgarten because they will create the most beautiful flower arrangements you've ever seen!

  Our flowers were beautiful. Lance was amazing to work with. Our hall was decorated beautifully and the centerpieces were just beautiful. I couldn't have asked for anything better. My bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquet were just what I asked for!
  
  thank you again!

  We met with Lance at Blumgarten and told him about the look and theme of our wedding. When we told him about our wedding colors, he was able to bring some supplies and flowers he had on hand and showed our vision, combining with his. From that moment on, we knew we found an artistic florist and was able to trust what he would do for our wedding. Not only did Lance do what we asked, he added another element - his artistic talent. I got so many compliments from my bouquets to the centerpieces. He did a great job with our flower girls' wreaths and small bouquets and it tied the whole wedding together. We trusted Lance to work his vision with our wedding and so glad we did! The prices were reasonable and I liked that they Blumgarten didn't require a minimum floral purchase for our wedding.

  Lance and Michelle are AMAZING at Blumgarten! I was absolutely thrilled with my arrangements as well as reception centerpieces/decor. I kind of told Lance an overview of what I wanted and I just KNEW we understood each other. He carried through with my ideas and made them even better than I could have imagined. My bouquet was also stunning as well as the bridesmaids bouquets! So gorgeous. He also made a small candlelit tree for us which was exquisite. I look forward to working with Blumgarten for future events/floral needs I will have.

  Lance was AWESOME!!! I had a hard time bring in picture of excatly what I wanted. So he sat with my mom and I and worked through everything and I could not have gotten a more beautiful turn out.... Out of the six florist that we went to he was the most reasonable and he had the best backgroud. He does flowers for Harpo Studios....

  We loved our flowers as did everyone else at the wedding. They were beautiful and everything that we wanted. We went to several florists and Blumgarten offered us more than we expected and it was perfect. We had a large wedding and a lot of flowers and we were very happy!

  Ilda and her team did a fabulous job for my October wedding. I met with Ilda to share my ideas with her and she offered suggestions as well. We finished with succulents, ranunculus, hydrangea, fruit, orange and blush roses for myself and the bridesmaids. She created something greater than I could dream of and was helpful the day of when I fell short on a few boutonnieres. I cannot recommend her more for weddings, special occasions or day to day delivery. Her websites shows her creativity. Thank you Ilda and crew!

  Blumgarten was great with working with our small floral budget and Lance was helpful with giving us ideas with keeping our costs down (BYO-Candles!). We had an initial meeting when we still getting an idea of what we wanted things to look like and later had a meeting closer to our day to tweak our choices - so a few minor changes were made and we were sent a revised contract. However when my flowers showed up - the change to my bouquet was not made. I need to stress that it was a minor change - that if I cared enough I could have picked out the offending flowers, but that's the point of a revised agreement. More importantly my husband's boutonniere had a rather unpleasant smell - you want your flowers to look good, but shouldn't they also not smell like a litter box? Also, they weren't always the easiest to get a hold of. But other than that, our bridesmaids bouquets were gorgeous as were our centerpieces.

  I wasn't super-excited about them, but we didn't commit a big budget to flowers since we were using them for bouquets & corsages & boutonnières (only), had DIY centerpieces. The sales/contract contact wasn't very accommodating bordering on rude, maybe because we had such a small budget. They took us off their schedule without telling us because they didn't have something they needed signed but hadn't sent to us. We didn't have a strong idea of what we wanted for the bouquets & the florist was excited about a flower we weren't familiar with, but sounded really cool, coxcomb. But then the a couple days before our wedding the sales contact called & said they couldn't get the flower for the price they quoted me so we should pick something other than coxcomb. We went with roses, which were nice too.
