The Flower Studio

We needed help with a small wedding. The results were just what we wanted– simple, tasteful, but still made a statement. Karen and her team gave us great advice and worked with our ideas. She made our ideas better and guided us toward a great result. I work in the building and dropped in unannounced a few times to consult. They were always helpful and patient, and the communication was great.

I used The Flower Studio for my wedding centerpieces, personal bouquets, bouts and corsages. They were the preferred vendor of our reception venue, so we thought they would be a good value and would produce quality products. In general, the pricing is comparable of other flower shops around the area but we really chose the Flower Studio because it was small shop and we got to speak to the owner, who handled all of our meetings.
Our communication, email and phone, was okay… not bad but it could have been better. I had to email Karen, the owner, a few times to make sure she received some attachments– wedding party lists and other details about the church. I also should have put a couple things in writing because things seemed to be missing the day of the wedding (i.e. banana leaves wrapped inside the vase– to hide the stems of our center pieces and my toss bouquet!)
Anyway, I really liked the two floral arrangements we used at the church and then re-​purposed at the reception. The bouts and corsages were very good too. The centerpieces we’re… just fine. I should have asked for a sample because I thought it would have been a lot fuller, especially when she suggested to add hydrangeas. My bouquet was nice… I was surprised it was almost the same size as my bridesmaids… but cost the more. My bouquet was «orange» while my bridesmaids were ivory with some greenery and berries. Okay, I added the quotations with orange because the color of the flowers I received were not what I asked for… They were a bright coral instead of a mixture of oranges like a peel and flesh of an orange and flesh of a cantaloupe, etc etc.
Oh well… Just an FYI: be specific with what you want and get samples of what you want.

I’ve been to this studio several times, and the flower are the freshest I’ve ever seen. Their store is soooo cute, decorated beautifully, and they also sell unique jewelery and home decorative pieces. Love this place!

We just used The Flower Studio for our wedding on Oct. 8, and we were extremely happy! My wife and her mother did all of the planning for the flowers, so I didn’t see anything until the big day, and I was amazed! I would highly recommend using them for any occasion, the arrangements and designs were very well done. If you want a professional and high quality job, this is a great place. Thank you for making our day so beautiful!

I needed to send my wife some flowers for our anniversary. and in my own typical fashion waited till the last minute to do so. Since my wife works in Rolling Meadows, I looked for a place on Unilocal nearby and found The Flower Studio.
Not only was the person on the phone helpful, I was able to pick out the right arrangement at a fair price and have those flowers delivered within 90 minutes of my call (which is what I really needed)
My wife was happy with the flowers, and a week later Janet from The Flower Studio called me back to see if me and my wife were pleased with the flowers and service. We were, if you need flowers, this is the place to go.

Recently, our Church community bid farewell to a highly revered religious woman, a School Sister of Saint Francis, who served the people of the parish community of Saint Anne for over 40 years.
Those planning her funeral wanted to make sure that the flowers gracing her casket at the wake and the funeral reflected her larger than life — presence, love and minsitry to us all.
I called Karen Cook at the Flower Studio in Rolling Meadows — knowing that her creativity and style were needed to honor Sr. Lorraine’s life among us.
The very unique arrangement of French tulips, orchards, etc. … in their stunning and colorful arrangement … were a mark of true beauty and elegance.
Our parishioners were so pleased and taken with the arrangements created by the Flower Studio. So many people offered comments … expressing the fact that they had never seen flower arrangements presented with such style, grace and beauty.

I used to work in the Continental Towers where the Flower Studio is, so I often considered getting flowers and plants from them.
My husband has sent me flowers from there before, and I usually thought they were great quality. Fresh, nicely vased, etc. They had a good policy on returns/​exchanges if the flowers died within 3 days.
But I think the rude owner and employees overpowers the lovely flowers. I went in on lunch to look for flowers or plants for friends, my mom, whatever. The owner often had an attitude and didn’t encourage browsing in her store. (Even though it was clearly a storefront and not all workspace for her.)
I also find them to be terribly expensive, and not very timely with deliveries. Like I said, I worked 12 floors up from them and my flowers would be delivered hours after my husband was told they would arrive.
