D's Flowers, Gifts and More Inc.

Diego and his whole team were great and very attentive the entire day from beginning to end. They personally delivered flowers to bride at hotel on time and set up so beautifully at our venue while we were out taking pictures. The venue looked amazing and my centerpieces came out gorgeous! Thank you so much again- we HIGHLY recommend him!

Diego was fabulous to work with! He is so creative, our centerpieces and other flowers looked better than we ever could have imagined! He had everything set up perfectly before the ceremony and reception, and was prompt in arriving at the end of the reception for clean up. He was super friendly, and his prices were crazy reasonable!

We cannot recommend Diego enough!! He and his team did an absolutely amazing job on our wedding bouquets and centerpieces, and for a price that could not be beat. Don't let the convenience store storefront turn you off - it is definitely a no-frills interior but Diego sat down with us and patiently explained all our options, flower choices, flower prices, and explained how and why the prices varied with each flower. He used my pinterest images and created exactly what I was looking for - for the price point I wanted - and he provided samples that looked like the final product - which was picture perfect. Even if I went to a "high end" florist, I couldn't imagine the quality being any better than Diego's. Our photographer even specifically complimented my bouquet on the day. They delivered them with great care on the day of. Everything was also set up perfectly, and he was very flexible when we wanted to add a few more details closer to the wedding. He responded to e-mails quickly as well and was also so friendly and courteous. He is truly a hidden gem in the wedding florist world and we can't recommend him enough.

Let me tell you something about Diego. Diego is wonderful! He was not only easy to work with; he was also very knowledgeable. When we met, he was able to picture the floral arrangements perfectly. On the day of the wedding all of his floral arrangements were so beautiful that everyone wanted to take one home. Thank you Diego for your patience, your expertise, and the beautiful work that you do! Please thank all who helped you as they did an amazing job as well!

I met Diego at a bridal show in Naperville that I decided to go to 30 minutes before the show was over.. This was my 2nd bridal show and I felt I was seeing the exact same things as I did before.....more floral companies with more brochures. Representatives that were only there to set up appointments and couldn't answer any questions about actual products. Displayed nothing that actually "wow"ed me. Diego's booth was the last booth on the way out and it immediately caught my attention. He had full floral displays with LED lights, candles, and all kinds of sparkly things. There was a crowd around the table so I wrote my contact information down and continued to admire the display while waiting to speak with Diego. While I was waiting his mother came and gave me the biggest, healthiest rose I'd ever seen. When I had my venue and colors coordinated I met with Diego. As we went over my ideas he made mock ups of everything so I could have a visual representation of what everything would look like and I got to take them home with me. He gave quality suggestions after listening to what I wanted. After he gave me my quote he encouraged me to visit other florists. No one compared to Diego. Some companies asked questions like "oh they have gold diamond wrap". Really??? When I'm frustrated because I feel like I'm not being listened to I can have the biggest blank look on my face so some florists even tried to read my expression and offer "lower cost alternatives" even though their suggestions weren't anywhere near the vision I just spent 30 minutes explaining!!!!!! That's a huge no no with me. Don't try to guess what you think I can afford and prove that you're not listening to a thing I'm saying! Truth be told, every time they quoted me a price I was thinking "man please...Diego charges way less than that and his looks better". And no other company made a mock up of anything for me to see. The closest thing I had was a florist pull up some pictures online (that wasn't even their work). In the end, Diego's quote was 1/3 of what other vendors were trying to charge. After signing the contract I had more design changes. He encouraged me to come in every time so I could see what it would look like. Every time I went in I brought someone new with me. All of my friends are in love with Diego and will be using him in the future for whatever they need. They've nicknamed him "The Team's florist" because he's already booked for their future weddings in their minds lol. The day of my wedding was absolutely gorgeous. All of my flowers had all kinds of diamonds and glitter all over with no fillers. My bouquet was HUGE....just the way I like it. The service and the flowers far exceeded my expectations and I look forward to doing more business with Diego in the future.

I warn that this review is long, because there aren't enough words in the world to sing praise to Diego. But I encourage you to read through my wonderful experience with him, if you're looking to make a decision on wedding floral arrangements. Diego (D's Flowers) was a recommendation from one of my bridesmaids who had used him for her own wedding last year. My husband and I had been looking at a few other florists and were pretty outraged at the cost of flowers that would only be used once! My bridesmaid had mentioned that Diego had given her a great price on her flowers so we decided to check him out. Wow. Forget the flowers - meeting Diego alone was enough for us to say, "yes, do our flowers"! Diego has this amazing personality that just hooks you in from the moment you meet. During our first appointment, he asked us what we were looking for (as other florists had done). BUT THEN he went on to create mock bouquets right there in front of us so that we could get an idea visually of what the bouquets would look like. Other florists had done nothing of the like! Other florists said, "ok you want hydrangeas and roses... Ok I'll get you a quote in a week". NOT DIEGO. Diego took the time to show us different options and sizes, and even spray painted some white roses for us during our appointment to get to the color of blush that was just right and what I was looking for. Lastly, when Diego made a mock of my bouquet I thought it was too small. He took a picture of me holding it to show how big it actually was. From my view/perspective the bouquet seemed so small, but seeing the picture surprised me. Any other florist would have said, "Ok, you want it that big? Done.". For another florist it would've been an opportunity for more money. But for Diego it wasn't about the money. It was about his customer being satisfied; and he knew his customer wouldn't be satisfied with a bouquet that was wider than her shoulders! Initially my husband didn't care much about choosing flowers, arrangements, and vases. But by the second appointment, when Diego received the flowers he ordered for us and made a mock centerpiece arrangement, my husband was completely on board and making changes and additions right along with me. And that's another thing, we changed our mind a few times and Diego went right along with it. Because he's an expert, he also made several suggestions that we took advantage of. The day before the wedding Diego texted me pictures of the bouquets so that I could approve or make any changes if I needed to. No changes were needed because they were perfect. Diego had taken so many notes during our appointments that he arranged everything EXACTLY as we had talked about. The day of the wedding was even more than perfect. He personally delivered the bouquets to the hotel we were staying at in downtown Chicago, and then went to setup at our venue in Schaumburg. It was breathtaking. It was better than I could have dreamed. Seeing all of the arrangements put together in our ballroom took a second to start breathing again because it was just so stunning. If anyone has been able to get this far down on my review, thanks. By the end of it all we paid probably a third of what we would have paid if we had gone with another florist. If you are looking for anything negative, there is NOTHING. Diego did everything and more, flawlessly. Go meet Diego because he will blow you away!

I was initially working with another florist and felt a bit uneasy about the design and cost. My mom is a wedding coordinator at the church I got married in and she suggested that I talked to Diego, since she'd seen him at other weddings and was impressed with his service. After chatting with him once, I ended up switching to work with him instead. He is very, very thorough. When I met him, I showed him pictures of what I had in mind, and he pulled out various flowers and vases from the backroom to show me, and even put together a makeshift bouquet, so I could be sure of the size and flowers that I wanted. He also let me pop in the day before the wedding, so I could see the final flowers. That definitely put my mind at ease! I would definitely recommend working with D!
