North Suburban Floral Company

Ordered online through their website for same day delivery for a gift for our dad. She did great! She was very responsive, sent a picture for approval and made sure it was delivered before the afternoon. He loved it! Thank you so much!

It was my girlfriends birthday today, unfortunately I am out of the state currently. I wanted to send her her favorite flowers so I called here and they delivered it to her at work. She was so excited. I’m so happy I went with north suburban! If I ever need flowers in the future I am going here! Thank you!

Pam did my wedding just a few weeks ago, working with her was very easy. She stayed in touch with me as we got closer to the date and even sent some pictures over text to see what I thought of an idea. Her prices are very affordable and she listened to what I wanted and also gave me some ideas, some of which I went with. Most important thing for me was that it was simple yet beautiful, nothing big. Pam was on time, set up the chapel, then reused the arrangements at the venue, and picked up her items that night (all included in the cost, some charge extra). I loved my bouquet white roses with pops of blue orchids, and the bridesmaids had yellow roses with blue hydrangeas. I also had corsages for moms and grandma’s and 10 boutineers for groom, groomsmen, dads and grandpa’s. She even made a boutineer at the chapel for the usher. I had a mix of floral center pieces and floating candle center pieces with blue LED. Everything looked great and added all the right colors to the banquet hall. One bridesmaid still had her bouquet two weeks after the wedding and looked fresh.

I ordered flowers for my wife’s birthday via FTD and they landed in this pig pen. the owner was patronizing, rude, and abrasive to my wife when calling to schedule the delivery. When I followed up all I got was the same loud and obnoxious barking. Avoid if you can.

I can’t sing the praises enough for this florist! A relative had passed away, and I was asked to arrange 25″-diameter wreaths for five out-​of-​town families. This took place on a Thursday, for delivery on the following Monday. Being unfamiliar with Chicago-​land florists, I consulted Unilocal and saw that North Suburban Floral Services had excellent reviews, so I called them. Pam, the owner picked up the phone. I described what I was looking for — wreaths that had some commonality, yet were each unique — at an affordable price. Pam quickly grasped what I was trying to achieve, priced the wreaths attractively, and said she would take care of everything for me. On the morning of the funeral, I arrive from out of town, and I find five absolutely beautiful wreaths. There were lots of other flowers there, even including expensive orchid arrangements, but Pam’s topped everyone else’s. Fast turnaround, perfect understanding of what I wanted, affordable, beautiful — what more could you want?

If I could give zero stars I would. North Suburban Floral Services is apparently contracted with 1−800-Flowers. I ordered flowers and a box of chocolates through 1−800-Flowers to be delivered to my mother on Valentines Day. I paid extra for delivery on Valentines Day. North Suburban Floral Services never delivered the flowers on that day, but told 1−800-Flowers that they did make the delivery. 1 – 800 Flowers, in turn, sent me an email confirming that the delivery took place. My parents were home all day, no delivery attempts were made, no calls made to them concerning delivery. The following morning, North Suburban called my parents to «get directions» to make the delivery. More than six hours later, while I am at my parents’ home, a gold Cadillac pulls up, a woman gets out and hands me the flowers. I ask her about the chocolates and she says she’s only delivering the flowers and I have to check directly with the florist. When I call 1−800-Flowers, they tell me that North Suburban not only falsely claimed that the flowers were delivered on time, but they falsely claimed they had made numerous attempts to separately deliver the box of chocolates, but no one was ever home. Be warned!!!

This review is way over due… Pam was the florist for my wedding in May and her work is beyond amazing! I had gone to several other florists until a friend of mine suggested North Suburban Flowers. It was the best decision I made of all my wedding vendors! To begin with, she beats the price by ATLEAST 10−15% for double the quality and double the amount of work that she does At first she may have seemed to be all over the place but all of her thoughts get delivered through her work. She absolutely the most passionate, creative, person I have ever seen. She did everything I asked for and exceeded my expectations! When we sat down and talked about the flowers she was very helpful with my budget and flower combinations. She is SO HONEST and straight forward!!! It is a trait that is hard to come by in the wedding industry and there is not a dishonest bone in her body! The church, banquet hall, bouquets and corsages, etc. were stunning and she also decorated my cake and it was so beautiful! WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE! My flowers lasted for such a long time after by wedding also! I cant express enough her worth!

Pam is amazing: her level of interest, enthusiasm, flexibly, creativity and floral knowledge is incredible! Our wedding was yesterday and I could not wait to get online and RAVE about how lovely our flowers were. I used to be an event planner and I have worked with dozens of florists in the area and I can honestly say that I have never experienced someone with such a passion for what they do and an interest in who they work with! My expectations were exceeded!

Pam is wonderful and creative! She did the flowers for our wedding and designed beautiful bouquets, wrist corsages, boutinnieres, flower girl basket and cake flowers. She is sweet, fun and delivers as promised!

I used Pam for my wedding flowers this past June. This was the vendor I was most nervous about leading up to my wedding day, but she ended up being wonderful. I went with her because she had good reviews on Unilocal (thank you!!), and her prices were much lower than other florists I could find, but I was a little bit nervous because Pam seemed disorganized and a bit eccentric. The rest of my vendors were a bit more expensive and more «established» in the Chicago wedding scene (since Pam does more than just weddings, and is in the suburbs). Thankfully I ended up having no reason to worry at all!
Yes, she had some trouble opening links I sent her of photos for my vision of flowers, and she was definitely loud and out there, but she listened the whole time and remembered everything I told her in the end! My flowers were everything I wanted, delivered right on time, cheap, and 100% my vision, even though I had never seen any mock-​ups from her before the big day and had to just trust that she understood what I wanted from her! I had 5 bridesmaids, a small flowergirl bouquet, 6 groomsmen, 2 mothers, 2 fathers, and 20 small centerpiece flowers for around 1k with beautiful pink roses, peonies (in my bouquet), and tons of blue hydrangeas.
Pam even picked up 5 cakes and desserts my mother-​in-​law made when she dropped off my flowers and delivered them for me to the reception venue at the last minute! She also happened to have a bunch of flower petals with her when she dropped off my bouquets, and so we ended up having petals for my flower girl to throw at no extra cost!

Pam the owner is great. Very outgoing and does fantastic work. Her price beat the rest by at least 10% and the flowers were beautiful. Her shop is well worth the trip no matter where you live or the occasion

Pam was the florist for my son’s Bar Mitzvah and she did a fabulous job! What I liked best about her was than rather than try to «make the sale», she listened to what I needed and came up with a very creative idea that was well within my modest budget. She’s knowledgeable, her follow through is excellent (my calls were returned within minutes), and she’s a delightful, high-​energy person to work with. She really cared that I was happy, and even gave me some great additional decorating ideas. I would hire Pam again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her!

I was married last month on august 6, 2011. Pam exceeded my expectationsand then some. Not only did she understand exactly what I was looking for– but she was my creative partner and worked with me
On designs and within my budget. She was so reasonable in he pricing. She was fair and honest with us and a pleasure to work with! I am
So happy I went to her shop and she did my wedding. She was able to get flowers out of season within my budget that other florists told me
There would be no way to get. She worked so hard and was very reliable! My pictures turned out beautiful– unwound
Highly reccomend Pam to anyone for any type
Of occasion.

We hired Pam as our florist for our wedding on May 21 and she was amazing! She had an excitable energy that was contagious. You can definitely tell that she has a real passion for this field. Her prices were extremely reasonable and well within our budget. She really works with you to get exactly what you’re envisioning for your wedding. I showed her some inspiration pics and she made it all happen. I’ve found that most florists usually just drop the flowers off the day of the wedding, but Pam goes above and beyond. Our ceremony was at Redfield Estates at the Grove in the outdoor gazebo, and the reception was inside the building. I don’t know how she did it, but Pam set up the gazebo and aisle runner and decorations, and set up the cocktail area outside the building, and the dinner settings inside the building, and even had time to help hold my dress before I walked down the aisle! Not to mention she came early to drop off bouquets for pictures. She also made this beautiful moss and flower ring pillow that perfectly matched my rustic theme. Pam was terrific and really made our day special!

My husband and I were married last August and had Pam handle the flowers for our wedding. She was a pleasure to work with and very flexible. She’s got some spunk which I loved! Pam is a great listener and offered up many creative recommendations and options, all within our budget. She handled everything with ease on our wedding day, which gave me one less thing to worry about. Our guests continue to remark at how beautiful the flowers were and how well the entire scene came together. Pam did an amazing job and we highly recommend her for any event as she’s very creative and just a joy to partner with.

So I just had my wedding this past weekend!!! Pam did an amazing job!!! The flowers were great, just what I asked for, even better. My head table looked amazing! The flowers still look fresh, and my wedding was 3 days ago. After caring around my bouquet all night, I could use it again if I needed to! lol. I had 9 bridesmaids, 7 groomsmen, 3 readers, 2 ushers, a junior bridesmaid… etc., and she was able to give me flowers for all of them at a reasonable price. One of my top 2 favorite vendors for the wedding!

They did my wedding (10 years ago!) and have since done weddings for several friends and, unfortunately, a few funerals as well.
This place is the best. Great prices, Full service. The owner is this hyper-​force of nature who will give you lots of good ideas and possibilities, but ultimately will provide just what you ask for.
I always send my friends here and thought I should Unilocal this as well. You won’t be sorry.
