    Amazing Flowers!

    My husband and I decided to use Westgate Flowers for our wedding and they were amazing!!! From the beginning of wedding planning, they were so easy to communicate with, always responded promptly and asked so many great questions so they could turn our vision into reality! They also did a bridal bouquet and centerpiece trial for us five months before the wedding which was so fun and helpful to see the flowers in person before the wedding day. If you are looking for flowers for any event, we would 1000% recommend using Westgate Flowers! We received so many compliments on our flowers throughout the day and are so happy with how they turned out!

    Excellent florist for wedding - friendly, prompt, and beautiful designs

    We hired Westgate to be the florist for our wedding and they did an absolutely marvelous job. Based on a few conversations and example pictures, they put together a beautiful collection of flowers and colors for our ceremony and reception. On the actual wedding day, they delivered and set up all the flowers exactly on time. It was a pleasure to interact with them throughout the entire process. Of all the florists we spoke to, they were by far the most friendly and happy to work with our requests and (relatively short) timeline without being pushy or judgemental. We recommend them very highly!

    Highly recommend!!

    I had an amazing experience with Westgate for our wedding! Emma is awesome! We were planning the wedding from NYC and Emma was so accommodating by meeting a couple times via video. She is super knowledgeable and helped us achieve the look we were going for in the most cost effective way and was patient through all my indecision. She even popped in to say hi (making sure it was okay ahead of time) on my wedding day when delivering the bouquets. She was also willing to work with us in last minute plans the day before our wedding when the weather changed for the worse and it looked like the ceremony would have to be inside instead of outside as planned. Could not recommend Westgate and Emma more! Such gorgeous and durable flowers! 😍 Thank you Westgate for helping our wedding be so beautiful and making the process so smooth!

    Beautiful flowers!

    Westgate flowers was amazing to work with! They worked with us through multiple covid-related reschedulings without issue, and they helped us switch our original spring plans to a more seasonally appropriate fall plan without having to redo our whole color scheme. Flowers were delivered in excellent condition to our venue, and everything looked beautiful. All the flowers held up well throughout the evening, and several guests were caught stealing some of the flowers in the centerpieces at the end of the night! I would definitely recommend them!

    Above and beyond our expectations!!!!

    We we're lucky enough to have Westgate do the flowers for our small outdoor ceremony Sept 2020. Every piece was breath taking! Adam helped us make choices and re-created exactly what we discussed...but so much more beautiful than we could have imagined! I can't thank them enough for transforming our space into wedding dream!!! And almost 2 weeks later, my goregous bouquet is still alive in a vase as a lovely reminder!!

    Amazing service & flowers

    Paul, Adam, and everyone at Westgate were amazing to work with. After reading several reviews and browsing online for a wedding florist, I called to make an appointment. We sat down, discussed what I had in mind, and flipped through binders of pictures. They were quick to send a quote, which they quickly adjusted based on my questions and changes. The pricing was reasonable and the quality was amazing. I basically looked at a picture from their prior work and was like I want exactly that but with sunflowers. I wish I had a picture of the large mantle piece that they created or the corsages, however I do have pictures of my bouquet, the table pieces, and the vases for the ceremony. I sent them a picture of the small bottles that I wanted to use, they asked for dimensions, and quickly emailed me a mockup for the tables. Days before the ceremony I realized I didn't have a vase for my bouquet for after the ceremony and they made sure to bring one. The delivery was on time and they worked well with the caterer and staff to set everything up.

    Simply beautiful!

    I didn’t know exactly which types of flowers I wanted for my wedding day, but I had a very specific feel and color scheme in mind, and Paul absolutely delivered. The florals were all gorgeous, the communication was there throughout the planning up until the wedding day, and the pricing was extremely reasonable. Highly recommend!!

    Beautiful flowers

    We hired Westgate to do the bridal parties bouquets and boutonnieres. They worked with our budget and gave us exactly what we were looking for. The flowers turned out beautifully!

    Excellent experience

    We had an excellent experience with Westgate. Adam and his colleagues were incredibly respectful of our limited budget and simple taste, and the finished product was absolutely beautiful.

    Gorgeous Flower Arrangements!

    Westgate Flower and Plant Shop in Oak Park, Illinois created the gorgeous flower arrangements for my 1920’s Chicago themed wedding in December. After several productive meetings with Paul, our design coordinator, my Mom and I were excited about the custom flower design for the special day. Paul listened to our vision, suggested ideas, and showed us actual pictures of some of the other weddings he had done at the Blackstone Hotel in Chicago and the First Methodist Church, our venue locations. This helped us tremendously to see the actual space as we planned together. Paul was so knowledgeable about different plant types and what arrangements would work best to create the vintage theme that we wanted. The flowers were perfect from the long-stemmed calla lilies that the bridesmaids carried, the mini calla boutonnieres with peacock feather accents for the groomsmen to dainty halos and rose petals for the flower girls. One of my Mom's
    favorite memories of the reception were the stunning flower arrangements that decorated the elegant ballroom. Our wedding coordinator told us that the florist returned to his shop after setting up the ballroom to bring additional flowers back for the head table to make it “Just Perfect.” Thank you, Paul, for your attention to detail and your talent for creating such beautiful blooms for our wedding!

    Our wedding decor was stunning!

    We knew within 10 minutes of meeting Paul that we needed to hire him for our wedding flowers, and he totally delivered on our wedding day. Every aspect of our wedding decor that he touched was stunning and exactly what we wanted. The bouquets, the chuppah, the centerpieces, the lighting, the rose petals on the placecard table and aisle, the candles on the tables, even the fragrant garden smell as you walked into the room - it was all absolutely perfect and so elegant. We have gotten countless compliments on how gorgeous our ceremony / reception were. Thank you Paul / Westgate!

    The initial consultation meeting with Westgate impressed us so much that we immediately contracted them. They listened to us and asked us questions until they had a thorough understanding of our vision for the flowers. They didn't just provide us examples; they would actually pull up pictures of different flowers and greenery and describe them in detail to see what our opinion on them was. They truly customized our vision and cultured it into a reality! Thank you, Westgate team!

    Westgate flowers did an amazing job with our daughter's wedding and reception. The beautiful chuppah with white flowers and greenery was sophisticated and elegant. The flowers for the cocktail hour and dinner centerpieces were beautiful and colorful. Our daughter had a vision, and Paul worked with her to realize that vision to perfection. There were some aspects we were less certain what we wanted, for example we wanted something for the bar area, I wasn't sure what we needed but I didn't want the bar to look bare. Paul new exactly what to do and made beautiful tall vased arrangements that were perfect for the space. Paul was easy to work with and the prices were reasonable.

    Westgate has always been my local go-to flower shop. They provide beautiful floral arrangements at a great price. When it came time for my wedding, Paul worked with us to make my dream a reality. When I told them I wanted a wood arbor for the outdoor ceremony, they were more than willing to make us one. Not only did they build and set up an amazing arbor for us, it was beautifully decorated and overflowing with flowers. I can’t wait for our professional photos to come back so I can keep starring at the arbor! I was truly amazed.

    We had a couple last minute additions and they were more than accommodating. For the centerpieces, I knew I wanted a vase (not a rental) so that family members could take the flowers home at the end of the evening. I also didn’t want to use a standard clear vase. Paul recommended a gold container that was in our budget and really stood out on the tables. Everything exceeded our expectations.

    I would highly recommend using Westgate for any and all floral needs!

    Words cannot describe how happy I was with the floral arrangements Weddings by Westgate Flowers did for my wedding on September 1st. Everything looked absolutely BREATHTAKING. The flowers were exactly as I envisioned and as I described to Paul in our pre-wedding meetings. The colors and quality of the flowers were amazing. From the moment we booked with Westgate Flowers we knew we were not going to be disappointed. Paul was so great to meet with and listened to exactly what I was envisioning. I pulled up a few things on Pinterest and he quickly learned exactly what I wanted. He even went to get sample flowers and showed me what he was thinking. We met 2 separate times and he couldn't have been more friendly. The bridal bouquets were STUNNING, and the corsages and boutonnieres were gorgeous. They brought everything on time and set it up exactly how I wanted it. I still have the extra flowers in my house and they look almost as beautiful as they did on the day of the wedding. The 2 large arrangements were the most beautiful things I have ever seen. I have received so many compliments from many people about how gorgeous everything was. I will definitely be recommending Westgate Flowers to everyone I know. THANK YOU!

    Paul was the BEST! Our flowers turned out better than I ever could have expected, the cost was extremely reasonable, and Paul was so accommodating! He personally brought the flowers to me at the Palmer House to make sure they were ok! They were beyond okay!! I got so many compliments on my bouquet and the amazing centerpieces Paul did!

    Can't recommend them enough!!!

    I used Westgate flowers for my wedding on September 3rd, 2016 at Bobak's Signature Events in Woodridge, IL. They made my bouquet, the bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres for the men, arrangements for the reception tables, and they decorated the terrace for my outdoor ceremony. They also provided some flowers to decorate my cake. The flowers were beautiful, perfectly arranged and exactly what I wanted. I would highly recommend for any event, especially a wedding.
    I enjoyed sitting down with them at the location to discuss what I wanted, colors, flowers and details. They were very helpful and flexible as small details would change before the event date. Thank you Westgate Flowers!

    We were 100% pleased with our flowers from Westgate and they made our wedding day perfect! We loved working with Paul and he took our visions and brought them to life. We appreciated working with a local company and the services they provided were impeccable. I especially appreciated the last minute changes we made due to the number of guests and how quickly and seamlessly the changes went through. In addition, when the flowers were delivered to us on the wedding day it was evident that care, precision, and pride was taken when preparing all the arrangements. We would 100% recommend Westgate not only for weddings, but any floral needs in your future! We will continue to work with Westgate for many years to come!

    Paul and his team did an outstanding job for our November 19th wedding at the Newberry Library. Westgate had come highly recommended by a friend and we jumped at the chance at using him. Paul is a true professional and knows the flower biz. He is kind, patient, and has great taste. Our bouquets, corsages, and table arrangements came out just gorgeous. Many guests came to compliment us during the reception. He and his team built our chuppah from scratch! We also used Westgate for our rehearsal dinner flowers too and they also came our just perfect. We can't wait to use Westgate and Paul again very soon!!

    I met with Paul a month or two ago to talk flowers for my wedding next June. I showed him pictures of 3 different bouquets that I liked and he immediately picked out the flowers that were in all the bouquets and showed me pictures online of all the different flowers and we custom built my bridal bouquet and bridesmaid bouquets. He really knows his stuff and I totally trust him to create the bouquets I want!

    Paul at Westgate was absolutely great to work with. Down to earth, realistic, efficient, and creative. We met with a lot of florists before him: many of them tried to sell us the big dream with rainbows and butterflies only to hand us a giant bill that would've sullied the beautiful experience. Paul was different from the start: he listened, worked with us to maintain our budget, and put his own creative spin on things when asked to. He is a true professional, delivering what we explicitly and implicitly hoped for. A little example: Due to our budget, our decor was simple for the most part, except for the arbor under which we married. This floral arbor was left to Paul's creative choices and the result was absolutely magnificent - more perfect than we could've imagined. I can't stop staring at the pictures we took of it. In conclusion, if you want to work with someone who's a real professional, honest and down to earth, with a great sense of floral design and decor, go with Westgate Flowers.

    Paul is very professional and knowledgeable. He took all the responsible upon himself and we were worry free. It was done better than we would have imagine. The flowers he had recommended matched perfectly with our theme. Our wedding was really bloomimg because of him. We received many compliments from our guests.
    Very reasonable price for such high quality!
    Highly recommend.

    Westgate was recommended to me. I selected Westgate out of five florists that I interviewed and received proposals from. They are very easy to work with. Paul and I e-mailed initially to come up with general ideas and a ballpark budget. Then I went into the shop for a consultation and final selection. I had a relatively low budget (no bridesmaids, no church flowers, 11-12 reception tables), which Westgate was able to work with. There was no minimum amount, which most florists had. Westgate's fee to deliver to my venue in the city was lower than the florists' in the city. The arrangements were gorgeous and matched my multi-color scheme. We used the centerpieces for brunch the next day, and they held up well. Guests complimented the flowers and asked who did them.

    Paul did an outstanding job putting together beautiful centerpieces, bouquets and boutonnieres for our wedding. We met with him before the wedding and provided him with our color palette. He took over from there putting together beautiful arrangements, while also being conscious of our budget. We got so many compliments on the flowers and they photographed beautifully. Everything was delivered in a timely manner the day of the wedding. We saved a couple of the arrangements after the wedding and they lasted for 2 weeks! I would recommend Westgate to any bride.

    My wedding was 9/26/15 and everything was beautifully done. Paul was very responsive and worked hard to get us everything we wanted for a reasonable price. The bouquets and boutonnieres turned out great and the ceremony and reception flowers were perfect. They were able to deliver the personal flowers to our hotel prior to going to our ceremony site/venue so we were very pleased with that. I would definitely recommend Westgate Flowers to anyone.

    When I first started planning wedding flowers, a coworker strongly recommended Paul at Westgate Flowers after she had used them in her own wedding. She said that several of her friends and family swear by Westgate as well for various floral products or services. I contacted Paul shortly thereafter, and the rest is history! He was incredibly helpful and the floral arrangements he designed came out beautifully! He was more than willing to walk me through my vision of what I wanted for our wedding flowers, and to provide suggestions and guidance when we wanted it. He was able to take the budget we had and the vision we had and make them work together to come up with some absolutely gorgeous floral arrangements and a beautiful bouquet. He even incorporated decorations we wanted to include such as ribbons, pins, pearls, water beads, and decorative picks in the centerpieces, groom's boutonniere, and bridal bouquet. Paul's business partner was equally great on the occasion I was assisted by him in lieu of Paul, and their whole staff was also wonderful and very helpful. Excellent service and product all around.

    Paul and his team at Westgate Flowers were incredible. At our first meeting, Paul was great at listening to our ideas and making sure we were getting the flowers and overall style we wanted. He was also good at giving suggestions when my husband and I were unsure about what we wanted. He went through all the different areas that we might want flowers to make sure we didn’t miss anything. We received a detailed quote that day, which put our minds at ease having an estimate that was very close to the final amount. We also met with him a few months later to see a mockup of our centerpieces and bridesmaid bouquets. They looked incredible. Paul was very accommodating as well. I called him to make a few changes and had questions, and he was professional and helpful with every phone call. The day of the wedding, the flowers arrived on time and looked beautiful! They were exactly what we pictured . Westgate Flowers also designed pieces for the altar at our outdoor ceremony and our caketopper. They definitely helped make our wedding day even more beautiful and special!

    The most incredible florist! Paul and Adam (the owners) are the most talented in the industry. They took my vision and made it a reality. They listened to what I wanted with colors and cascading and types of flowers and created what can only be called a masterpiece. I wanted a bouquet with some bling in it. The day of my wedding Paul felt that there wasn't enough sparkle in my bouquet. So at 6am that morning he drove to the flower mart and got different crystals to put in my bouquet! What vendor does that?! The arrangements were MAGNIFICENT! Everything I could have hoped for and more!

    My wedding flowers were so beautiful! I knew my wedding colors, but didn't know what kind of flowers I wanted or what accent colors to use. I gave Paul my budget and let him put everything together. That was the best decision I made. I left it to the expert and wow did he come through!!! I would definitely recommend them!

    I have to admit, I wasn't too interested in handling the flower aspect of our wedding, so I passed the task off to my parents. After researching a ton of vendors, Paul at Westgate seemed like the easiest, most straightforward option with very reasonable prices. They are old school (no fancy website, or modern looking shop), but that makes them all the more charming. Our flowers way exceeded our expectations - they were super colorful and unique, and we got a ton of complements. The guests at the end of the reception were fighting over centerpieces because they were so well done.

    As allows, Westgate did an absolutely beautiful job. My family has been going there for years (they've done 4 weddings for us in just a few years) and there is a reason I chose them for our big day.

    They were super flexible and willing to drop off flowers at separate locations (hotel, church, reception), they were definitely within our budget, and the flowers were beautiful. I had a general idea of what I was looking for, but they took my small direction and gave me exactly what I was looking for.

    A big thank you to Adam, Paul and staff for a fantastic effort on our wedding.
    We were going use one of the large event companies downtown but after attending a friend's wedding where Westgate provided the decor we were sold. Our wedding was substantial with a lot of detail requiring multiple deliveries and staging. All was done to the minute and exactly how we asked. They helped with all our many revisions and changes (thanks for your patience guys :-) ).Our estimate was very fair and allowed us to go a little over board our head table and entrance arrangements.
    They are great to work with!

    Westgate was wonderful for our wedding. I had an initial consultation with Paul and gave him complete control, I just told him I wanted bright colors for the bouquets. Wedding planning was not my favorite thing to do and I felt completely comfortable letting them take the reins with the flowers. They turned out spectacular and I got many compliments on the bouquets and arrangements at the church. They were very familiar with both my ceremony and reception venue and delivered the bouquets to my house. They also sent someone to move the church arrangements to the reception venue which turned out to be a lifesaver because they were super heavy. Overall, they were friendly, knowledgeable, reasonably priced and helpful. I would definitely recommend them!

    Westgate is great! They were extremely patient with me and my mother during the planning process, as we went back and forth with our design ideas a billion times. They are a great resource for budget brides, so I'd suggest starting off with how much you want to spend, and let them work backwards with design ideas that you can afford. I LOVED the way my flowers looked, and got tons of compliments. Highly recommend!

    We wanted to stay local and within our budget for flowers as they were not our top priority and we weren't sure what we wanted. We met with several florists and just were not impressed. THEN we met with Paul at Westgate. He asked all the right questions to help us realize we did have strong opinions of what we wanted. He was straightforward, offered great ideas, knowledgeable, and incredibly flexible with me even as I changed my mind more than once! Our flowers turned out more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. When I saw my bouquet for the first time-I cried. YEP-that is how well they put together something that reflected exactly what I wanted (well actually better). I have truly never seen such beautiful bouquets. Westgate Flowers will now be my go to florist for anything I ever need again!

    I talked to both Paul and Adam about the flowers they provided for our Sept 2, 2012 wedding. They did a spectacular job. I initially went there because they were close by and had decent reviews.

    I did not have a vision for our wedding-my only criteria was "no white flowers". I wanted bright cheerful colors. Paul sat and went through options with pictures and listen to me like some and not like others, even though my family (who had decided to accompany me) and I were extremely awkward. He and Adam listened to me be a cheapskate and waffle on little tiny details. In the end, they did a great job with bouquets, boutonnieres, table pieces, a mantlepiece and a few loose flowers for decoration. I couldn't have done better or even half as good if I had picked it myself. I loved it, it wasn't goofy looking and everyone else there admired them as well! Oh, and it was all <$1000. Delivery was included. Thank you, Westgate!

    I chose Westgate to do the flowers for my wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we could have made! We ordered our flowers a while ago, but the staff was so helpful and really knowledgeable! I knew I wanted daisies, but not much else. Paul was able to suggest some other flowers to go in the arrangements and showed us examples while we were in the store. The flowers were all delivered to the church cleanly wrapped and crisp and cold. The bouquets were exactly what I had pictured in my mind, and they created them from only seeing a tiny picture on my phone MONTHS AGO! They are very talented and were a breeze to work with. They responded to emails quickly too. I am very pleased with Westgate Flowers!

    The guys at Westgate Flowers did an AMAZING job on our wedding flowers. Before going to them we went to a highly recommended florist in Chicago and had a horrible experience! We contacted the guys over at Westgate and told them what we were looking for and what we could afford to spend on flowers and set up a meeting. When we got to the shop they had made us two different arrangements as basic ideas from what we had told them and they were amazing. Not many florists would use their stock for a first meeting with a couple that hadn't even talked about signing a contract yet. Then on our actual wedding day, they went back to Oak Park to get additional supplies that we didn't realize we needed just to make sure that our day went perfectly. Our flowers were beautiful and the service was unbelievable.

    I'm not very confident in flowers, so I just told Paul my colors, my overall idea and he went with it. I also had a family who changed their minds several times regarding their coursages and I changed my mind for the ceremony aisle, and he just went along with it and kept track of every request for me like it was no big deal. He was a delight to work with, very enthusiastic and professional, and everything turned out so beautifully!

    My husband has been going to Westgate for years and so when it came time for our wedding it was an obvious choice.

    We worked with Paul, one of the co-owners of the shop. I am so thankful that we did. He provided us with some wonderful choices to choose from based on our wedding colors. Not only that but they didn't charge a delivery fee and gave us a discount to accommodate our budget.

    My husband and I planned way in advance when we weren't sure of how many tables that we would need for the event. As it turned out we had ordered to much. Westgate was able to arrange all the flowers so that everything was perfect.

    We are so thankful that we choose Westgate. The flowers really made the event!!!

    I went into Westgate completely clueless about what I wanted for flowers. Gave Paul my wedding colors and he really took it from there. Everything arrived at the church on time and in absolutely beautiful condition - fresh and the colors were totally perfect. They were delightful to work with.

    Paul Peters at Westgate was extremely helpful and provided me with exactly the flowers that I requested (succulents and renucules) for my wedding. I got so many compliments on the bouquets including a flattering one from a friend of mine who used to work in the flower business. She said the vendor had carefully chosen the succulents to be especially beautiful in a bouquet. He even threw in an extra boutonniere, which my husband ended up using after the first one fell off while he was dancing. The flowers arrived on time and on budget. Paul also created beautiful centerpieces that I gave away as gifts to my wedding party! I highly recommend Westgate Flowers.

    Westgate did a beautiful job with our wedding. I know absolutely nothing about flowers, but they were still able to get exactly what I wanted for our special day. They went above and beyond by bringing in potted trees with light, as well as a backdrop with lights behind our headtable to add to our reception space.
    Our bouquets were beyond gorgeous. They were so beautifully done - full and colorful without costing a fortune.
    They worked with our budget to figure out where to spend the money and where to put less expensive options in.
    Our wedding would not have been the same without the wonderful team at Wesstgate :)

    Westgate's flowers truly made our dream wedding come true at the Langham Chicago! Our centerpieces, bridesmaids' bouquets, groomsmens' boutonnieres, and corsages were absolutely stunning! The phalaenopsis orchids for our wedding cake and bridal hair were more glamorous than we could have imagined! Paul was highly knowledgable...he truly knows his stuff.....recommending gorgeous floral arrangements that complemented our color scheme, bridesmaids' dresses, and groomsmen tuxedos! He brought our ideas for our escort card table and sweetheart table to life that all of our guests wouldn't stop raving about! Because there is such variation to the color palette coral, he was able to send actual pictures of the flowers to ensure the colors were exactly what we wanted. He also exhibited his amazing talents when working on the floorplan and he knew exactly which tables to display the high centerpieces with pinspot lighting for the best photographs!

    Paul was also very accommodating and professional by setting up a mock up of our centerpiece and bouquets a month before our wedding. The flowers especially the orchids looked elegant and high end for such an unbelievable cost! We highly recommend Westgate Flowers not just for your wedding but for any occasion!

    We worked with Paul and he was really nice and accommodating. I didn't go there with any specific flowers in mind, just a few pictures from Pinterest. The flowers came out really nice and exactly what I had hoped for. They were also accommodating in allowing me to remove some items from the contract because my husband's grandparents were not able to make it after all. The only issue (which isn't a big deal) was that the petals for the cake table were delivered to my house instead of the banquet hall. Westgate has good prices and did a good job for our wedding.

    After a few very strange meetings with other florists, I was ready to give up. But, after meeting with Paul I knew Westgate would work well. I had a recommendation from a friend, and he was a great balance of being open to what I wanted, but having helpful suggestions from his experience as well. They took care of making sure that the places would be open for deliveries, etc - so you'll have less to worry about. The centerpieces were larger than expected for the price and everything was exactly what we talked about.

    Everything was great, but there were some minor things they delivered that weren't what I asked for. My wedding was light blue and ivory, so I asked for light blue flowers. I also clearly stated that I didn't want anything that shaded toward or was close to purple- and the altar flowers, as well as my mother's (who hates purple) corsage, were ivory and purple. I said that I wanted my grandmother's corsage to be the exception, with all purple flowers (because it was her favorite color), and hers was a smaller version of my mother's- ivory tea roses with lavender accents. Also, we asked for a candle on the altar in rememberance of the groom's parents, and it was never lit with the other candles.

    Otherwise, everything was great. Paul was easy to work with. My and my bridesmaids' bouquets, the guys' boutonieres, and the reception table arrangements were fantastic. All of the flowers, even the wrong ones, were fresh and in great condition. Would otherwise recommend, as long as they give what you ask for.

    The owners at this shop were wonderful. They sat down with me and gave me quality advice, but not pushy. They were patient when I changed my mind a few times. Delivery was on time and the flowers were beautiful and lasted all day. The only reason I didn't give a 5 is because the plum color of the flowers I chose were a lot darker than I hoped and the flowers were smaller than I had hoped as well. But overall they were great.

    We loved their work! They were very easy to work with, came up with a cheaper option when my ideas didn't quite match my budget, and delivered everything perfectly. My bouquet was still looking beautiful one week after the wedding!

    I worked with Paul. I really wanted a specific color or orange lilies for my bridesmaids. He seemed to know what I wanted but on the wedding day they showed up and were almost red. That was not really what I wanted, and I felt if he had looked at pictures of what I wanted or let me see the actual flowers beforehand we would have been more on the same page.

    The flowers were beautiful and were delivered on time. Westgate did a nice job and several people commented on the flowers. However, there were a few things that we discussed that were in the contract that ended up being slightly different the day of the wedding ... for example ... the head table was supposed to have 2 arrangements ... a high and low vase ,,, but there was only one. Also, as the bride, I expected my bouquet to be larger than it was. It was only slightly larger than the bridesmaids' and the flower girl's basket looked larger than mine.
