Review from Anna S.
Chicago, IL
5/1/2011
Joanne is a wonderful person and florist. I knew nothing about flowers, and after meeting with three other florists, she was the only one who took the time to get to know my taste and help me create the look for our wedding. She has a true passion for what she does and every arrangement I've seen is just beautiful and unique.
Logistically, she worked within our budget and made sure we still got everything we wanted. If there was ever a question I had, she responded quickly and was in good communication through-out the entire process. The day of the event, every bouquet and centerpiece was even better than I had pictured. She really listened and was very detail orientated, even getting the "more blue than white" hydrangeas... brides can get crazy. She was there early for photos and stayed through flipping the room after the ceremony.
I knew that I didn't have to worry about flowers or our Chuppah since Joanne would be there, which was the best thing of all. I have at least 5 friends who will most likely be getting engaged this year and I will recommend her to all of them. Thank you again, Joanne!Comment from Joanne L. of FlowersFlowers 5/14/2011

Review from Jane M.

Alas, my flowering needs were all somber occasions. Deaths and funerals.
However it was Yelp reviews that brought me to Flowers Flowers and I had a really good experience.
The gal (owner I assume) that helped me was very nice. She's got a great selection of exotics and neat looking greenery. And while I'm sure that she can rock the same ol' rose or carnation things, the fact that what you see first are orchids and funky tropicals appeals to my need for something that doesn't look like everything else.
Not terribly pricey either. Especially considering she's in downtown Evanston.
So yay. Big yay. And here's hoping next time I need her services it's not because someone died. -

Joanne did the flowers for our 7/24/10 wedding, and they were breathtaking. When I booked Joanne's service, I was in the height of my busy season at work, so we discussed what I wanted over the phone and then she emailed me some pictures. From my vague request of "I want really bright flowers, I want my bouquet to be orange, and I don't want roses", she NAILED it. She gave me a great recommendation for ceremony flowers, and I knew that she was the florist for me.
Throughout the entire planning process, Joanne was always quick to respond to my emails, and she was always friendly. She even followed up several times after the wedding...absolutely incredible. Most of my other vendors wanted nothing to do with me after they were paid in full, but not Joanne! She's fabulous.
Back to my wedding flowers. My flowers were relatively nontraditional, and I hadn't seen pictures of exactly what I wanted or what Joanne and I had decided on. When I saw my bouquet for the first time, I was speechless. It was even better than I had imagined. The bridesmaids bouquets were gorgeous, and the centerpieces were amazing. I have received so many compliments on the flowers, and one of our guests told me that they're using my centerpieces as an inspiration for the flowers for a party that they're planning.
I really cannot say enough good things about FlowersFlowers, and I've already recommended Joanne to several other brides. -

Very pleasantly surprised at the quality. I got a bouquet of roses for my wife, and they did a great job, were kind, and prompt. 10x better than Saville.

Review from Kathy C.

We got married at the end of July at the Hilton Orrington and worked with Joanne who put together all of our flowers. After meeting with several other florists in Chicago who gave us very expensive quotes not only for the flowers but also delivery and end-of-the-night pickup, Joanne assured us that she could work within our budget. She came up with three different designs (at three different price tiers) to be placed on various tables through the dinner reception. She also designed beautiful vases filled with water and stem of orchids for the ceremony.
And I'm not sure if this is typical for other florists, but we took home most of the containers and vases, including some flowers that the hotel staff was nice enough to save for us. A few of the other flower vendors we received quotes from did not offer for us to keep these items.
Joanne was very responsive to our emails and last minute week-of requests. We ended up having a wedding with a mix of various orchids for the bouquets, boutonnieres and centerpieces, which were all beautiful. Joanne was even able to accommodate our request for labor and material to cover the stage at the hotel that we were using for our ceremony.
The only suggestion I would make to other couples is to take a look at the aisle runner before going with the plastic version. We went with the plastic vs. the cloth b/c the plastic was significantly cheaper, but it also looked that way in person (although not really in pictures).
