Balmes Flowers Gurnee

Balmes was a great choice for my wedding recently! Michele knows her stuff and helped me along the way. She worked with me and my small budget to ensure my wedding was beautiful. She came in the day of and took care of everything that was needed for flowers. Would absolutely recommend!

You should absolutely use Balmes Flowers for your wedding! At our meeting, Michele asked us a series of questions to get an idea of what we had envisioned for our big day and we told her our budget. She looked at our Pinterest pictures and showed us alternatives that would fit our budget. She even helped us cut costs on the boutonnieres so we could splurge on bouquets for our moms (which they loved!). When she sent us the total and breakdown of the costs, we were were surprised on how reasonably priced the shop was. On the big day, the guests couldn't stop gushing over how beautiful the flowers were. They were truly the most beautiful wedding arrangements we have ever seen. Thank you so much, Michele! You did a fantastic job with our wedding flowers and we truly appreciate you working with us to stay under our budget! We highly recommend engaged couples to trust you and use you for their weddings!

I used Balmes for my June 13, 2015 wedding. I worked with Michelle who was very helpful in turning my Pinterest dreams into reality. Michelle checked in with me regularly with the planning to make sure everything went smoothly. They were considerate enough to deliver our bouquets/ boutonnieres earlier in the morning since we were taking pictures before hand, then made a separate delivery for a floral arch we used in the ceremony and centerpieces. I was overall very please with the quality and the service of Balmes

Each bouquet was done with perfection!!

They were so concerned about details and were helpful in picking our flowers and doing a wonderful job!

Oh my goodness, it could not have been more perfect! I wanted a specific flower in my bouquet and they had it flown in from Holland so it would be just what I wanted. They added all sorts of gems and other extras to really make the bouquets sparkle. They searched for months to find the exact color tulle to match my color for the ceremony decor. I didn't know florists like this existed. I would use them again in a heart beat!

When my fiance and I went into meet with Michele and Jeanne we had little knowledge of flowers and horrible taste. We knew we wanted chrysanthemums but that was where it ended. We brought in photos of our colors and centerpieces and from those small details the team helped us create an excellent and unique floral design. We wanted to have wine corks incorporated in the boutonnieres and they took our idea and ran with it, incorporating berries and greenery that made them truly unique and exactly what we wanted! The bridesmaid bouquets were perfect as was my bouquet. The flowers were hand delivered by Jeanne, the owner, who made sure it was exactly what we wanted. We had some odd requests such as the wine corks and we asked them to carve pumpkins with a fall arrangement inside. We brought in some unconventional ideas and both Michele and Jeanne added their creativity to make it more than we could have asked for.

I have never seen such beautiful and creative flowers. Sara took it to the next level. Stunning, I'm just waiting for the next opportunity to order flowers from them.

Sara was instrumental in creating my crazy litte bridal dreams. I was a huge mess at the first meeting trying to explain exactly what I was envisioning with feathers and vintage and a little bit of holiday. Sara spent days and weeks creating the look we were going for on our wedding day. I'll have to admit, that the flowers/pieces at my wedding were definitely memorable and left quite the impression on guests. The exotic flower choices that pulled in my specific request for deep scarlet along with matching feathers really made for perfect decor. She was easy to get in touch with to discuss ideas or changes via email/cell phone. I was completely blown away when I saw my bridal bouqet with black bacarra roses, scarlet calla lilies and white ostrich feathers. It was so glamorous and perfect! She even surprised us on the wedding day with LED lights withing the centerpieces. I'm forever grateful to her for creating the exact look we were going for. Simply beautiful

Good prices good service. Willing to work with me on ideas.;Flowers were a little wilty when they arrived!

I was very flexible with what I wanted. I wanted multi-types and multi-colors of flowers. I did tell them what I did not want, and they complied. When I looked at my church to walk down the aisle, I was amazed at how BEAUTIFUL everything was. I owe it to my florist. They made an ordinary plain catedral turn into a fairytale wedding. They maximized the most with my money and I was very HAPPY!
