Chicago Florists Who Sell Sympathy Flowers
21 of the 46 Chicago florists we list by Petal Score make sympathy and funeral flowers. Show every shop in Chicago
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Its delivery windows, from its site on October 27, 2026: “We offer the following delivery windows: 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM … Delivery Schedule Monday – Friday: 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM Saturday: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM … While we always aim to deliver within your selected window, exact delivery times cannot be guaranteed.”

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.
Its same-day terms: offered; no cut-off published.

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.

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.

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.
Typical price from its listing of October 22, 2026.

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.

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.

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.

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.”
Typical price from its listing of September 27, 2026.

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.

Anna Held Floral Studio
Local shopEdgewater
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.

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.

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.

Zins Flower Shop
Local shopPilsen
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.

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.

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.

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.

Straight Answers
These answers come from the Google reviews we read on September 29, 2026, and the shops' own published terms, checked September 27, 2026.
Which Chicago flower shops have the best reviews?
The most-reviewed shops on Google are Ashland Addison Florist in Pilsen (5.0 from 2,295), Steve's Flower Market in West Town (4.9 from 2,230), City Scents Floral & Home in Streeterville (4.9 from 893), Flowers for Dreams in West Town (4.6 from 879) and Kloeckner Preferred Flowers in Brighton Park (4.8 from 528).
Those review counts and star figures are Google's. The Petal Score is our assessment, built from those reviews for what customers say, delivery reliability and what happens when things go wrong, plus our own checks of recognition and clear prices and terms. 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.
