Chicago’s Most-Reviewed Florists
Every shop on the page, sorted by Google review count.
Ashland Addison Florist
Local shopPilsen
Hospital flower delivery since 1932
Typical price$85+ delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
Founded in 1932 by Roy Sheffield, who grew up working in a greenhouse at Angel Guardian Orphanage and later began selling bouquets from a street corner at Ashland and Addison when growers paid him in flowers during the Depression, this is now a fourth-generation family business run by Justin Sheffield and his uncle Chris. That longevity shows in the practical offer: retail floral design and same-day delivery, plus gift counters inside Prentice Women's Hospital and Rush University Medical Center, which makes it the shop I'd call for a hospital delivery handled by people who know the building. Most listed arrangements run $55 to $250, with a typical spend around $85 in September 2026. Chicago Reader readers named it the 2025 Buy Local poll's Best Florist, and Time Out Chicago included it in a 2026 citywide roundup. One comparison note: it shares an owner with La Salle Flowers and Bunches.

Steve's Flower Market
Local shopWest Town
Market-style stems and wedding flowers
Typical price$85+ delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
For do-it-yourself stems at wholesale-style prices, Steve's Flower Market in West Town is the obvious stop. Founder Steve Ziemba has spent more than 50 years in the trade, and the family-run shop mixes bulk stems by the bunch with arranged bouquets for everyday and special occasions, plus a wedding and events arm led by his wife Mary. Most listed arrangements run $49.95 to $225, with a typical order around $85 in September 2026. Time Out Chicago ranked it among its 2026 picks, noting bulk stems for those who prefer to arrange their own. The shop runs its own delivery team and delivers daily across Chicago, though no fee is published. Sunday hours are the one thing to check: the shop's own site says closed, while some listings show limited Sunday opening.

City Scents Floral & Home
Local shopStreeterville
Flowers, home goods, and subscriptions
Typical price$125+ delivery
Same-day · no set cut-off
Andrew’s TakeClose
For a Streeterville errand that combines flowers with a gift, this is the shop I'd consider first. Its East Ohio Street store sells arrangements and home goods, plus plants, candles, balloons and a fresh flower subscription, and the homepage highlights customer favorites like Sunflower Fields at $115. Most arrangements run $40 to $325, with a typical spend around $125 in September 2026. Same-day delivery is offered to Chicago and surrounding areas, though no cut-off time is published, and the shop is open Monday through Saturday. Because much of the catalogue is shared template design, the piece that arrives is the shop's own interpretation rather than an exact copy of the photo, which is worth knowing before you order. If you're ordering for someone at Northwestern or in the Loop hotels, the Ohio Street location is convenient.

Flowers for Dreams
Local shopWest Town
Charity-backed artisan bouquets
Typical price$60+ delivery
Same-day · by 2pm (4pm in select areas)
Andrew’s TakeClose
For a same-day bouquet in Chicago, Flowers for Dreams is where I'd start. It handles everyday flowers, weddings, events, subscriptions, and workshops, and every order turns into giving: 25% of net profits go to local charities, with more than $1.8 million donated since the foundation formalized things in 2021. Its own listed arrangements run $45 to $125, most around $60, and signatures like Autumn and Berry start at $45. Same-day orders need to be in by 2pm, with 4pm in select areas. Chicago same-day delivery runs $10, and subscriptions over $100 ship free. When contributing editor Larissa Runkle ordered a Fall bouquet in late 2023, she was impressed with the value; a few blooms had wilted by day six. If you want a charitable hook without sacrificing delivery range, this is the shop I'd call.

Kloeckner Preferred Flowers
Local shopBrighton Park
Custom arrangements and gifts since 1934
Typical price$99.95+ delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
Kloeckner Preferred Flowers has been family-owned and operated since 1934, and it still does custom arrangements for all occasions plus gift baskets. The shop's own blog confirms the 1934 founding and the family ownership. Its listed arrangements run $45.95 to $249.95, most around $99.95, and named pieces include the Lake Shore Ultimate at $275.95 and the Chicago Florist Elegant Orchid at $47.95. That spread runs from a single orchid piece to a grand mixed arrangement, so there's a price point for most briefs. Alongside flowers, it stocks gift baskets, so it's useful when the order needs more than stems. The catalog tends toward shared designs, so the delivered piece is Kloeckner's own interpretation of a template rather than a bespoke original. Call to confirm delivery terms before ordering. If you want a long-standing family shop with a wide gift-basket range and you're happy to call first, it's a sensible Brighton Park option.
Typical price from its listing of September 27, 2026.

Secret Garden Flower Shop
Local shopChicago Lawn
Budget-friendly everyday bouquets and roses
Typical price$79.99+ delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
A well-loved 71st Street storefront, Secret Garden Flower Shop is the kind of straightforward neighborhood florist you call for everyday bouquets, roses, or a fresh mixed arrangement without fuss. Thursd included it in a September 2026 citywide roundup, describing it as a genuine neighborhood shop. The arrangements listed are wire-network designs; many are FTD catalogue pieces shared with other florists, so the delivered bouquet is always the shop's own interpretation rather than an original design. For the Southwest Side, it is a convenient local option for birthdays, get-well wishes and just-because deliveries when a simple, thoughtful gesture is what matters most. It is best to keep expectations modest on design originality, but as a friendly local shop it fills that everyday role well. Call to confirm delivery terms before ordering.

RF Flowers
Local shopPortage Park
Modern arrangements from a family duo
Typical price$100+ delivery
Delivers 10am to 8pm daily
Andrew’s TakeClose
Working from a single Portage Park studio, RF Flowers is the shop I'd call for a modern arrangement that still feels personal. Partners Naz and Sam run it as a small family team, and every piece is made in-house. The catalogue spans bouquets, flowers-in-a-box, wedding and funeral work, plus vases, sweets and plush toys, all in what the shop calls a signature modern style. Most listed arrangements run from $45 to $675, with a typical spend around $100 in September 2026. The Signature Lily Bouquet and the Dopamine Bouquet, at $180 and $100, are good entry points, and Pink Devotion sits at $120. Delivery reaches Chicago and suburbs within about 25 miles of the studio. No delivery fee or cut-off is published, so it is worth confirming timing when you order.

Southside Blooms
Local shopEnglewood
Farm-to-vase flowers from city lots
Typical price$79.32+ delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
When the story behind the bouquet matters, Southside Blooms would be my starting point. Founded by Quilen and Hannah Blackwell, it grows flowers on roughly ten acres of former vacant lots across the South and West Sides and employs about 25 young people, mostly 16 to 25. The Englewood flagship opened in 2019 after Quilen began converting vacant lots in 2017, and a second location in North Lawndale opened in spring 2026. CNN named Quilen its Hero of the Year in 2025, and Time Out Chicago included the shop in its 2026 roundup. Stems lean toward local celosia, gladiolus, sunflowers and calla lilies rather than imported standards. Most arrangements run $59.40 to $132.27, with a typical spend around $79 in September 2026. The Sunset Calla Rose arrangement lists at $109.60. It offers a bouquet subscription, local pickup and free nationwide shipping Tuesday through Friday, plus wedding and event florals.

La Salle Flowers
Local shopRiver North
Legacy business, downtown delivery
Typical price$82.50+ delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
La Salle Flowers dates to 1936, when it opened at La Salle and Superior, and its neon sign has been a River North landmark since. A designated Chicago Legacy Business, it's now part of the Ashland Addison family of shops, sharing an owner with Ashland Addison Florist and Bunches, so a few names on this page are one group. The shop does downtown and River North delivery, and its listed arrangements run $65 to $200, most around $82.50. Many of those are catalog designs shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation. Time Out and Thursd both included it in 2026. Call to confirm delivery terms before ordering. If you want a legacy name for a downtown office or a River North delivery, this is where I'd start.

Soukal Floral
Local shopGarfield Ridge
Greenhouse-grown bouquets and plants
Excellent on its customer record: 306 reviews in two years, 4 delivery complaints
Typical price$59.99+ delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
For Garfield Ridge and the southwest suburbs, Soukal Floral is as much a grower as a florist, with greenhouse flowers alongside bouquets and plants at its Archer Avenue store. It has been family-run for generations; a 2014 local-press piece named Jerry Soukal Sr., who had spent 51 years in the business at that time, and his wife Pat, with their son Jerry Soukal Jr. next in line, and a separate greenhouse-supply listing put the family history at over 109 years. Its ordering pages run on a Teleflora template, so many named designs are catalogue pieces shared with other florists and the delivered arrangement is the shop's own interpretation. For Garfield Ridge, it suits birthdays and just-because bouquets as well as plants and greenhouse-grown flowers. Call to confirm delivery terms before ordering.

Royal Flowers and Gallery
Local shopPortage Park
Wedding, sympathy and everyday designs
Typical price$126.50+ delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
Backed by more than 25 years in the neighborhood, Royal Flowers and Gallery is the shop for a dependable occasion piece in Portage Park, with the useful extra of gifts, chocolates, plants and art under the same roof. The catalogue runs from everyday and romantic bouquets to wedding and sympathy work, and the Grand Rose Bouquet starts at $65. Listed arrangements mostly fall between $65 and $499, with a typical order around $126 in September 2026. The 100 Red Roses piece lists at $495. Delivery serves Chicago and surrounding neighborhoods, with no published fee or cut-off. Store hours run Monday through Saturday 10 to 7 and Sunday 10 to 3. One thing to know: many of the designs come from a shared supplier catalogue, so the finished bouquet is the shop's own interpretation of the photo rather than a one-off original.

Bordo Flowers
Local shopPortage Park
Premium hand-tied bouquets and arrangements
Typical price$139+ delivery
Same-day · no set cut-off
Delivers 11am to 4pm, Mon to Fri
Andrew’s TakeClose
Since 2015 this Portage Park studio has pitched premium hand-tied and vase work for birthdays, anniversaries and sympathy, with an elegant, refined presentation and seasonal flowers. The shop's aesthetic is refined rather than wild, which suits gifts. The catalogue runs from $60 to $610, with most arrangements around $139 in September 2026. Among the named signatures, "Amina" starts at $125 and "Most Wanted" at $330. Delivery reaches downtown Chicago and surrounding suburbs within a 40-mile radius, with the fee calculated by distance at checkout; same-day delivery is offered but no cut-off is published. If you want a statement bouquet rather than a quick bunch, this is where I'd start. One heads-up: it sits half a mile from RF Flowers on Irving Park Road, so double-check you have the right storefront before ordering.
Its same-day terms: offered; no cut-off published.

A Pretty Flower by A&A Floral Arts
Local shopLincoln Square
Custom work and standing orders
Typical price$130+ delivery
Same-day · no set cut-off
Andrew’s TakeClose
Custom work and standing orders are where A Pretty Flower by A&A Floral Arts makes the easiest case. Juli Tkalec runs the studio, learned floral design from her mother Dragica, and handles the photography herself, which shows in a site built around made-to-order pieces rather than a fixed look. It takes online and phone orders, runs flower subscriptions, and covers weddings and events as well as everyday arrangements. Listed prices start at $60 and climb to $700 for larger event work, with a median of $130; named designs include Stacie at $75 and the pet-friendly Catie at $120. Same-day delivery is advertised, but the site does not publish a fixed cut-off and calculates fees at checkout, so call or order early if the date matters. As with other BloomNation-partnered florists, many designs are shared catalogue templates, with the delivered arrangement the shop’s own interpretation.

Athena Flowers
Local shopPortage Park
Everyday arrangements and local delivery
Typical price$65.95+ delivery
Same-day · by 2pm Monday to Saturday, 11am Sunday
Daily: homes by 6pm, offices by 5pm
Andrew’s TakeClose
A same-day cut-off of 2 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 11 a.m. Sunday, makes Athena Flowers the practical option for the Northwest Side. It has been a woman-owned, Latina-owned neighborhood florist since 2007 and is firm that its arrangements are designed and hand-delivered by its own team, not a national reseller. Listed bouquets run $55.95 to $130.95, with most around $65.95, so this is one of the more affordable stops on the page; the Florist’s Choice Daily Deal starts at $59.95 and Devoted to You red roses at $105.95. Delivery is free within the 60634 zip code, with fees set by address outside it, and the shop covers Portage Park, Jefferson Park and nearby suburbs. Because it sits on the Lovingly platform, many product names are shared templates; the finished arrangement is the shop’s own interpretation of that design.
Its same-day terms: by 2pm Monday to Saturday, 11am Sunday.
Its delivery windows, from its site on October 27, 2026: “Normal delivery times are 9am-5pm daily for orders going to a business, 6pm for orders to a residence, hotel, or hospital, and 2pm for orders going to a high school. … We are unable to guarantee delivery at a specific time, but we are normally able to deliver within four hours on orders.”

Fleur de Lis Florist
Local shopRiver North
Custom wedding and event florals
Typical price$135+ delivery
Delivers 10am to 6pm
Andrew’s TakeClose
Founded in 2011 by Danielle Wisdom and Connie Rigas and described in listings as women- and minority-owned, this River North studio focuses on custom wedding and event florals. Directory descriptions call it primarily a walk-in florist with in-store pickup, and delivery may be possible if you contact the studio directly, so don't assume same-day. Listed designs run $85 to $185, with a typical spend around $135 in September 2026, though the real work is often priced by consultation. The site runs on a shared catalogue, so many listed designs are catalogue pieces shared with other florists, and the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation. If you want a custom wedding or event piece in River North, call ahead rather than ordering online. That call is how you'll confirm current turnaround and delivery terms before ordering.

Donna's Garden Florist
Local shopSauganash
Daily delivery since 1989
Typical price$139.97+ delivery
Same-day · by 2pm
Andrew’s TakeClose
Operating since 1989 and billing itself as delivering smiles daily, Donna's Garden covers Chicago and its suburbs with occasion work from birthdays and sympathy to weddings and quinceañeras, sold through a BloomNation-hosted catalogue. The shop publishes an order-by-2pm cutoff for same-day delivery, which is useful when you need flowers that afternoon, and delivery fees are calculated by distance at checkout. Most listed arrangements run $79.99 to $495, with a typical spend around $139.97 in September 2026. Its showiest signature, "Elegance and Grace Dozen Roses," sits at the top of the list at $349.99. Like other BloomNation florists, many listed designs are shared catalogue pieces, so expect the shop's own interpretation of the photo. For a no-fuss order to a suburban address, this is one of the more practical choices on the page. One oddity: the published Sunday hours show a 15-minute window, so call before ordering for a Sunday.
Its same-day terms: by 2pm.

Field & Florist
Local shopLoop
Farm-to-vase arrangements and flower shares
Typical price$135+ delivery
Delivers Mon to Sat, by 5pm
Andrew’s TakeClose
This is the farm-to-vase option, and it is a different proposition from the rest of the page. Field & Florist grew its own flowers across five sites for 14 years, then brought the farm back inside Chicago city limits in 2023, six minutes from its two retail shops. The Monadnock location in the Loop carries niche fragrance, while the Division Street store adds home goods and garden tools; the online shop also sells chocolate and cards. Listed arrangements run $75 to $250, with a typical spend around $135 in September 2026, and there are weekly and spring or fall flower shares for flowers on a schedule. Time Out Chicago included it in its 2026 roundup, and Chicago Magazine profiled the farm in March 2022. For a delivery or wedding where origin matters, I'd start here; just note that same-day specifics are not published.

Halsted Flowers
Local shopLincoln Park
Locally grown organic fair-trade flowers
Typical price$95+ delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
Halsted Flowers takes a clear stance on sourcing. Owner Geneva Currin has owned three flower shops over a 25-year floristry career, and her Lincoln Park store carries locally grown, organic, fair-pay blooms for everyday bouquets, weddings, showers, sympathy work, and the occasional houseplant, with delivery to the city and surrounding suburbs. Time Out has called it an endeared northsider standby and a warm, homey shop, and Thursd named it in its September 2026 citywide roundup. Its listed arrangements in September 2026 run $85 to $160, most around $95, though much of that list is wedding-specific, so treat it as a guide. There's an $85 order minimum for delivered fresh arrangements. For delivery specifics, call to confirm delivery terms before ordering. If you want a warm neighborhood florist with a sourcing conscience, this is where I'd start.

Mudd Fleur
Local shopEast Village
High-design arrangements and classes
Typical price$250+ delivery
Same-day · before 9:30am
Andrew’s TakeClose
The design studio you call when the arrangement is the gift, Mudd Fleur leads with high-impact work. Creative director David Gould runs the bench, and the pricing reflects it: listed arrangements in September 2026 run from $99 to $600, with a typical order around $250. Pieces like Femme Fatale ($300) and the Super Premium Imported White Lux Design ($400) show the house style. Thursd named the shop in a 2026 roundup of Chicago florists. It also offers orchids, succulents, wedding and event work, in-home consultations and floral-design classes. Same-day delivery requires an order before 9:30 a.m., and the shop delivers across Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, Lakeview and the Magnificent Mile plus many suburbs, with fees that vary by distance. One note: the storefront runs on BloomNation, so several listed designs are shared catalogue pieces; count on the studio's own interpretation.

Linda's Flowers
Local shopLogan Square
Quinceañeras, weddings and party extras
Typical price$85+ delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
If the flowers are only half the job, Linda's is the shop I'd start with. Along with arrangements for weddings, quinceañeras, birthdays, proms and funerals, it lists tuxedo rental, tablecloths, chair covers and party favors, and makes daily delivery runs to local funeral homes and hospitals. That party-rental side is unusual among flower shops and can save you a separate vendor. Listed arrangements in September 2026 run from about $50 to $175, with most around $85. The catch is that its website would not load for us in this round, so the details above rest on directory listings rather than a direct read of the shop, and several of its online designs are catalogue arrangements shared with other florists. For a party order or a funeral piece, I'd call rather than click.
Typical price from its listing of September 27, 2026.

The Jade Vine
Local shopIrving Park
Sustainable arrangements, local growers, weddings
Typical price$100+ delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
Sustainability is the point at The Jade Vine, and it is the shop I would steer toward for a wedding or event where sourcing matters. Founder Hannah opened it after the pandemic, bringing an architecture background to floral work. The studio prioritizes local growers such as the Chicago Flower Market and Petal Haven, uses botanically dyed or compostable ribbon and skips floral foam entirely. It is a member of the Sustainable Events Collective. Its September 2026 listings run from $12 to $300, with the middle around $100, and a simply named Bouquet, marked best seller, starts at $25. Wedding and event work, walk-in retail, workshops and space rental carry the business. The gap: no delivery cut-off, area, fee or minimum is published, so plan on visiting or hiring rather than a same-day order.
Typical price from its listing of September 27, 2026.

Zins Flower Shop

Wedding suites, events, hospital delivery
Limited evidence
Typical price$109+ delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
Wedding suites and hospital deliveries make Zins the full-service Pilsen address I would recommend, with enough everyday stock to stay useful for daily orders. It also sells houseplants, local gifts and chocolates, and runs wreath-making and kokedama workshops. Its 19 listed arrangements, as of September 2026, run from $55 to $289, with the middle around $109. Signature pieces include the Designer's Choice vase arrangement from $128 and a Delux wrapped bouquet from $55. Wedding collections come in named palettes such as Gem Tone, Pastel and White, and the shop delivers to a list of hospitals, funeral homes and cemeteries. For day-to-day deliveries it serves Downtown, the South Loop, Elmwood Park and Oak Park, though no cut-off time or delivery fee is published. Block Club Chicago covered the 2023 opening of Zinnia's Event Studio and Garden, the adjoining workshop space.

Franky's Flower & Design
Local shopHeart of Chicago
Family-owned bouquets and sympathy pieces
Typical price$75+ delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
For dependable everyday and sympathy work, Franky's is the shop I'd choose when the budget is modest and the need is straightforward. Its pages advertise same-day delivery to Chicago and the surrounding area. Listed arrangements ran from $65 up to $125, with a typical spend around $75, and the named Timeless Purity arrangement, white lilies, blue hydrangeas, white stock and blue thistle, costs $70. The shop covers the usual spread: sympathy and cremation work, weddings, birthdays, get well, new baby, plants and gift baskets, with an En Español option. It describes itself as family owned. One watch-out: its listed details were current as of December 2025 and may have changed. Many of its listed designs are catalogue arrangements shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation. Call to confirm delivery terms before ordering.

Bunches
Local shopLincoln Park
Designer’s-choice bouquets with delivery
Typical price$144.99+ delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
Thursd named Bunches in its 2026 roundup of Chicago flower shops, and the shop trades as “Bunches (A Flower Shop) & Chicago Flower Delivery,” selling designer’s-choice bouquets and arrangements rather than a fixed catalogue. Listed prices run $74.99 to $379.99, with most around $144.99, so it leans mid-to-premium. It shares an owner with Ashland Addison Florist and La Salle Flowers, per Preservation Chicago, which makes the Lincoln Park shop part of a larger local group. For Lincoln Park sends, it is a convenient boutique option with a larger group behind it. Designer’s-choice ordering suits buyers who want a florist’s eye more than a specific recipe. Because the catalogue runs on a shared template, many listed designs are standard pieces interpreted by the shop. Call to confirm delivery terms before ordering.

Niko's Flower Designs
Local shopHumboldt Park
Budget-friendly everyday bouquets
Limited evidence
Typical price$64.99+ delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
For a hand-tied bunch without big-studio pricing, Niko's is the practical stop. Listed arrangements in September 2026 run from $39.99 to $99.99, with most around $65, and the catalogue includes a 1 Dozen Long Stemmed Roses at $84.99 and a Wild Flower/Rustic Designer's Choice at $74.99. It sells custom work, plants and occasion bouquets, and its wedding and event arm advertises farm-direct flowers as a way to keep costs down. Delivery covers selected Chicago zip codes plus Evanston, Forest Park, Oak Park and Skokie, though the site's long list of named hospitals and funeral homes reads more like local search text than a strict route map. Its storefront runs on Hana Florist POS, so many listed designs are shared catalogue templates. The site's footer dates it to 2010, though that is not confirmed as the opening date.

Anna Held Floral Studio

Single-color studies and events
Typical price$95+ delivery
Same-day · no set cut-off
Andrew’s TakeClose
Study arrangements in one color are the signature here, with peonies, ranunculus, protea, orchids and lilies named among the specialty stems. Anna Held Floral Studio describes its team as trained artists, and Beth Tarrant, a graduate of the Art Institute, brings more than 30 years in the floral industry. The shop takes everyday orders and custom work, plus weddings and events, on a BloomNation-hosted site. Listed arrangements run $65 to $300, with most around $95; the Study in Orange, Study in Purple and Study in Pink pieces are $75 each, and a dozen red roses is $100. Same-day delivery is advertised without a published cut-off, so order early. The studio is closed Sunday and Monday. Note that its own domain appears to be down, so the catalogue you browse is the shared BloomNation template, with the final arrangement interpreted by the shop.
Its same-day terms: offered; no cut-off published.

Krystyna's Flowers
Local shopPortage Park
Custom arrangements since 1988
Andrew’s TakeClose
Krystyna's reads as the corner florist you call when the order needs a conversation, not a checkout screen. The shop takes custom work across weddings, funerals, birthdays, get-well arrangements and grand openings, and its own homepage dates it to 1988, with two Belmont Avenue storefronts under one company, roughly a block apart. From what I can see, this is the spot for a made-to-order piece in Portage Park, and the kind of place a business might call for a store opening or a family might call for a funeral that deserves a personal hand. One honest caveat: the site's product pages would not load for us in September 2026, so we could not verify current prices or delivery terms, and several of the details above come from third-party listings. Call before you commit to a design or a date.

Same-day · no set cut-off
Andrew’s TakeClose
Family owned and operated, The Flower Cottage is the Bridgeport stop I would pick for a low-cost same-day gift. The nine listed arrangements in its September 2026 catalogue run from $40 to $189.99, with the middle just under $60. Signature picks include the Haute Pink Bouquet at $189.99 and Lavish Love with long-stemmed red roses at $90.95. Fresh plants and gift baskets sit alongside the flowers, and the shop delivers throughout Chicago plus a long list of local funeral homes, hospitals and care facilities. The homepage promises same-day service for last-minute gifts but publishes no cut-off time, so call before you count on it. One thing to know: many of the designs are Teleflora catalogue pieces shared with other florists, which means the delivered arrangement is this shop's own take.
Its same-day terms: offered; no cut-off published.

Cornell Florist
Local shopHyde Park
Since 1939, independent floral studio
Typical price$75+ delivery
Same-day · before 11am
Andrew’s TakeClose
Cornell Florist has held the same storefront on East 55th Street since 1939. The current owners, neighbours who ran Open Produce next door, bought it in 2013 to keep Hyde Park's independent florist tradition alive, antique cash register and all. It is the shop I'd call for a wedding or a thoughtful retail gift rather than a quick bunch, though same-day orders placed before 11am are delivered locally. Listed arrangements ran from $45 up to $165 in September 2026, with a typical order around $75. The named Sculptural Floral Arrangement with Delivery is $165. There is a $15 local delivery fee, and delivery is limited to Chicago, with the far North, West and South sides handled case by case. The name honours Paul Cornell, the man who founded Hyde Park, not the shop's own founder.

Dilly Lily
Local shopLincoln Park
Garden-style weddings and event work
Limited evidence
Andrew’s TakeClose
For weddings and brand work, Dilly Lily is the shop I'd call first, the one with a point of view rather than a dozen red roses. Founded in 1997 by Christine Noelle, the studio is now led by Eric Phillips, who trained under her, and the house style still leans compact, colorful and a little unexpected, with a garden flair and a twist. The shop says it works with premium flowers from sustainable farms, using local and organic product when it can. It delivers to Chicago and many surrounding suburbs, but the retail hours are limited: closed Sunday and Monday, and subject to change around event installations. The ordering platform sits on a separate subdomain that I could not reach directly in September 2026, so this is a business to contact rather than click through. Time Out Chicago included it in its 2026 citywide roundup.

Steuber Florist
Local shopMount Greenwood
Since 1943, funeral and hospital delivery
Typical price$100+ delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
For a no-fuss delivery to a hospital or funeral home on the Southwest Side, Steuber Florist is where I would start. The family has run the shop at the same West 111th Street address since 1943, and the third generation, Scot and Catherine Steuber, now leads a staff of ten to twelve long-term employees. Its 28 listed arrangements, as listed in September 2026, run from $55 to $225, with the middle around $100, and the best-seller rail is built on classic and assorted dozen roses. There is a greenhouse for plants and a locally grown poinsettia crop, plus daily delivery to local funeral homes and hospitals. Patch profiled its 75th anniversary in 2018. The watch-out is real: there is no same-day service, only next day, and the site runs on a wire-network template, so many designs are shared catalogue pieces the shop interprets.

Hillside Chatham Florist
Local shopMount Greenwood
Budget-friendly modern arrangements
Limited evidence
Typical price$49.99+ delivery
Same-day · before 1pm
Andrew’s TakeClose
For a modest same-day arrangement, this is the shop I'd suggest when the goal is a low-priced bouquet without a boutique markup. It lists everyday, modern, love and romance, and sympathy categories, and its own arrangements ran from $49.99 to $59.99 in September 2026, with a typical order around $50. Get-well and birthday pieces sit alongside the sympathy work, and the site takes orders online 24 hours a day. Same-day orders placed before 1pm are delivered in the recipient's time zone across the Chicago area. There's an $11 local delivery fee on each address, and orders that miss the cutoff go out the following day. One caution: a third-party listing dates the business to 1984 and calls it family owned, but its own site does not confirm that. Many of its listed designs are catalogue arrangements shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation. Call to confirm delivery terms before ordering.
Its same-day terms: before 1pm.

Stella Grey Blooms
Local shopNorth Center
Made-to-order artistic arrangements
Typical price$95+ delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
For a made-to-order piece rather than something grabbed off a shelf, Stella Grey Blooms is the North Center studio I'd put first. It works primarily from preorders to keep flowers fresh and cut waste, with limited grab-and-go bouquets depending on the day, so calling ahead is wise. It also handles weddings and corporate events and sells gifts and plants. Time Out Chicago named it in its 2026 roundup and Modern Luxury in a 2025 list. Most listed arrangements run $66 to $245, with a typical order around $95 in September 2026. The Designers Choice is $85, and the Euphoria Orchid Garden lists at $185 when available. Many designs on its BloomNation ordering page are catalogue pieces shared with other florists, so the delivered bouquet is the shop's own interpretation. Hours are limited to Tuesday through Saturday, 10 to 3, with Sunday and Monday by appointment.

Romance in Blooms
Local shopEdison Park
Lush English-garden arrangements
Limited evidence
Typical price$129.95+ delivery
Andrew’s TakeClose
For garden-style, unstudied arrangements, Romance in Blooms is the shop. Kathleen opened the business in Norwood Park in 1994 and moved it to Edison Park in May 2000, and that history shows in the style: fresh flowers arranged as loose English gardens. Listed arrangements in September 2026 run from about $60 to $295, with most around $130. Product names lean playful, including Purple Haze and Green Goddess, though prices vary by design. It sells bouquets, vases, plants and occasion work, and takes on weddings of all sizes with daily delivery, in-store pickup and online ordering around the clock. Delivery centers on Edison Park, Norwood Park, Niles and surrounding areas. One note: the site runs on Floranext, so several listed designs are catalogue templates and the delivered piece is Kathleen's own interpretation.

Honey Street Flowers
Local shopWest Town
Romantic, earthy bespoke arrangements
Typical price$100+ delivery
Same-day · no set cut-off
Andrew’s TakeClose
For a designer-led custom piece, this is the studio I'd point you to, the one that works from a client's aesthetic rather than a standard dozen. Led by designer Lisa Marie Brown, it describes its arrangements as romantic and earthy but elegant, and it takes on bespoke work for weddings, events and parties. Listed arrangements ran from $55 up to $250 in September 2026, with a typical order around $100. Among its named pieces, Wine & Dine, marked as a best seller, is $125, Three Dozen Red Roses is $230, and Sexy Vibes is $250. Same-day delivery is offered across Chicago with no cut-off published, and delivery fees vary by location. The shop's hours are short, a few hours on some weekdays and two hours on weekends, so it reads more like a design studio than a full-time storefront. Many of its listed designs are catalogue arrangements shared with other florists, so the delivered piece is the shop's own interpretation.
Its same-day terms: offered; no cut-off published.

Tea Rose Flower Shop
Local shopNorth Park
Modern-classic arrangements and wedding work
Typical price$115+ delivery
Same-day · before noon
Andrew’s TakeClose
When I want a designer's eye without a wedding quote, Tea Rose is the North Side address I think of first. Tina Skorey has run it for more than fifteen years, and her style is what she calls a modern classic twist. In September 2026, its 29 listed arrangements run from $72 to $325, with the middle around $115. Signature BloomNation pieces include In My Garden at $165 and Bright & Lively at $96.95. Same-day delivery goes out for orders placed before noon, and the shop covers the North Side and Northwest suburbs including Lincolnwood, Evanston and Skokie, with fees that vary by distance and show at checkout. Weddings, events and custom work are a major part of the business. The one note: many designs are BloomNation catalogue pieces shared with other florists, so the delivered arrangement is this shop's own interpretation.
Its same-day terms: before noon.

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
Local shopBucktown
Uncommon stems, grab-and-go bouquets
Limited evidence
Delivers daily
Andrew’s TakeClose
Uncommon stems are the reason to stop in Bucktown. Ananda Zoe Breslof opened the shop in 2021 as a pandemic pivot after two decades running the event florist Flowerlife, and that background shows in arrangements built around blooms you may not have seen before. The day-to-day model is grab-and-go bouquets, custom orders when the team has time, plus subscriptions and workshops at the Loop branch. Pricing online is thin: the single listed item, a Designer’s Choice handheld bouquet or vase arrangement, starts at $75, so most shoppers will be ordering over the phone or in person. Delivery is framed around Chicagoland, with complimentary drop-offs within easy walking distance of the Bucktown shop when available and roughly $15 to $25 everywhere else. The site does not publish a confirmed same-day cut-off, so call ahead on deadline days.
Its delivery windows, from its site on October 27, 2026: “Chicagoland plus deliveries are made during shop hours Monday-Sunday.”

Limited evidence
Typical price$192.50+ delivery
Delivers 1pm to 6pm, Wed to Fri
Andrew’s TakeClose
When the order should be made to order, Exfolia Botanical is the studio I'd choose, the one that designs for a specific person rather than pulling from a catalogue. The shop opened in June 2021 under founder and creative director Cassandra Stadnicki, and every arrangement is described as one of a kind. Its listed delivery pieces ran from $85 up to $410 in September 2026, with a typical order around $192. Pickup starts at $75, and a monthly Flower Club subscription runs from $75. Delivery windows are published rather than a fixed cut-off: Wednesday to Friday between 1pm and 6pm, and Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4pm, with the fee added at checkout and not included in the flower price. The studio is closed Monday and Tuesday, and Wednesday and Thursday are pre-order and scheduled-delivery days. Custom design starts at a $300 minimum with a week's notice.

Nerine

Limited evidence
Typical price$50+ delivery
Delivers 12pm to 6pm, Thu to Sun
Andrew’s TakeClose
Nerine leans sculptural and design-forward, the shop I'd send someone who wants an arrangement that looks like a small piece of set design. Co-founders Liz Topp and Sinéad Cleary opened the Humboldt Park studio in early 2025, and Time Out named it in its February 2026 roundup for the meeting point of fresh blooms and sculptural artistry. The two signature arrangements, The Light and The Dark, each run $50 to $400 across sizes, and there's a $50 minimum for delivery. Alongside flowers, the shop sells vessels, orchids, and merchandise, and hosts ticketed design workshops. It also offers residential and corporate styling, plus both delivery and pickup. If you want a seasonal arrangement with a point of view, a pickup, or a wedding or event commission, this is the new studio I'd call first.

Sprout Home

Andrew’s TakeClose
Opened in 2003 as a garden store, Sprout Home now runs a separate floral shop across the street on Damen Avenue in West Town, with fresh and dried arrangements, home goods, event design and in-person classes. Time Out Chicago included it among its 2026 picks, pointing to handcrafted arrangements alongside the plants and pottery, and Thursd called it a garden-store-meets-floral-shop. The fresh arrangement lineup is small; listed pieces run from $75 to $200, with a typical order around $130 in September 2026, and the Harvest Moon arrangement starts at $75. Classes include a fresh flower arrangement at $100 and dried flowers at $120. I'd think of it as a floral counter attached to a garden and design store rather than a high-volume delivery florist, which makes it better for a planned pickup or event than a last-minute bouquet. The floral shop is open daily from 10 to 6. Delivery terms are not clearly published, so call to confirm before ordering.

On that measure, Ashland Addison Florist is the only Exceptional shop, and the eleven Excellent shops are Field & Florist, Steve's Flower Market, City Scents Floral & Home, Fleur de Lis Florist, Halsted Flowers, RF Flowers, Bordo Flowers, A Pretty Flower by A&A Floral Arts, Donna's Garden Florist, Southside Blooms and Soukal Floral, which is Excellent on its customer record.
Is it better to order from a local florist or online in Chicago?
For same-day delivery in a specific neighbourhood, a local shop is usually the better call, especially if you want a florist who knows the area. Nine of the 37 shops that publish prices have a typical bouquet at $75 or less, so a local order does not have to mean paying more. Ode à la Rose delivers from its own Chicago atelier in Fulton Market, and Teleflora works through a local florist; their 4pm and 2pm cut-offs run later than most shops' published times, so both are worth checking.
Which Chicago florists deliver same-day?
Seven of the 46 shops publish a same-day cut-off time, and six more offer same-day without naming one: Bordo Flowers, City Scents Floral & Home, A Pretty Flower by A&A Floral Arts, Anna Held Floral Studio, Honey Street Flowers and The Flower Cottage. The latest is Flowers for Dreams by 2pm (4pm in select areas), followed by Donna's Garden Florist by 2pm and Athena Flowers by 2pm Monday to Saturday, 11am Sunday. The earliest are Mudd Fleur before 9:30am, Cornell Florist before 11am and Tea Rose Flower Shop before noon.
Among the national services, Ode à la Rose delivers weekdays by 4pm for 5pm to 9pm delivery, and weekends by 2:30pm. ProFlowers and FTD cut off at 2pm weekdays and 1pm weekends, Teleflora at 2pm weekdays and noon weekends, UrbanStems at 1pm, Floom at 1pm on selected bouquets, and From You Flowers and The Bouqs Co. at noon. Roses Only is next-day only, and FLOWERBX does not deliver to Illinois.
How much does a bouquet cost from a Chicago florist?
Typical prices, the median of a shop's own listed arrangements before delivery, run from $49.99 at Hillside Chatham Florist to $250 at Mudd Fleur. Half of the 37 shops that publish enough to count sit between about $77 and $130, the middle shop at about $100, and nine have a typical price of $75 or less.
For under $75, Steve's Flower Market's Fall Favorite Bouquet is $65, Bordo Flowers' Clouds is $60, and Cornell Florist's hand-tied bouquet is $75. On the luxury end, Halsted Flowers' Classic Long Stem Dozen Roses in a vase is $160, and Steve's Flower Market's The Sophisticated is $195.
Where should I order sympathy flowers in Chicago?
21 of the 40 everyday shops sell their own sympathy bouquets, and the sympathy filter on this page shows them. If you need something quickly, the national services also offer sympathy arrangements, and Teleflora works through a local florist, which can be a good option.

What This Page Is For
Petal Republic city florist indexes are designed to help you find the best local florist or hand-tested national flower delivery service for every occasion.
How We Found and Scored Shops
For Chicago, we've systematically researched customer reviews of local florists across popular platforms such as Google Maps and Yelp. A person checks every florist against seven rules; failing any means no listing and no Petal Score. Reviews are weighted by age: 20 or more earn a score, 10 to 19.9 earn a band only, and under 10 requires a named press pick or The Knot Best of Weddings win. No minimum star rating. We also factor in accredited awards and press mentions by trusted journalistic outlets. This page covers storefronts in the City of Chicago. Each listed shop now carries a Petal Score built from its Google reviews over the last 24 months and our own checks of its site, press and awards.
Checked by Hand
A hand check of shops with near-perfect ratings, very few reviews or thin independent signals held five back: three permanently closed, one whose records did not hold together, and one that now sells only houseplants. Four more did not meet our listing rules for a shop's own storefront and working website, and one more is off the page while we confirm its reviews; one more did not pass our checks on its reviews. Seven more from the list are not shown yet, because they have too few recent reviews to score or because we are still checking them. One more is off the page because its website no longer works.
What the Cards Rely On
First-hand coverage includes Larissa Runkle's order from Flowers for Dreams in late 2023, and the national services' scores come from our testers' own orders.
How We Test National Services
Every national service with a Petal Tested score was ordered like any customer: we paid full price under the tester's name and address, and nothing on the order or card mentioned Petal Republic. We note the delivery window and photograph the box, card, flowers in daylight, stems, and any damage, then one photo on days 1, 3, 5 and 7. The score covers arrival, condition, stem count, varieties and colors, substitutions, packaging, the card, and longevity, with an overall 1 to 5. 4.6+ is Top marks, 4.0 to 4.5 Recommended, 3.0 to 3.9 Mixed, below 3.0 Not recommended.
Occasion Picks
Each occasion opens with up to eight bouquets from Chicago shops and up to four from national services. We work down the Petal Score and take one bouquet from each shop that sells for the occasion on its own site, only bouquets the shop delivers itself and never below its delivery minimum. If fewer than eight shops qualify, the shelf shows fewer; we don't fill the gaps with national bouquets. The national picks come from the services our team has tested hands-on, one each, highest Petal Tested score first. Luxury, Under $75 and Same-Day work the same way, with bouquets of $130 or more, $75 or less, or from shops that publish same-day terms. Every price is the shop's own for its standard size, before delivery.
Prices and Same-Day Cut-Offs
Prices are the shops' listed prices before delivery, checked throughout the year and last read in October 2026, and same-day cut-offs are shown in Chicago time with a live count of who can still deliver today.
Google ratings, review counts and press read September 26, 2026. Band first, then score, then customer and delivery record; no shop pays to appear.
