Garvin Gardens

tart to finish. She took the time to meet with me multiple times, was willing to work within my budget, and was always free to talk on the phone to answer my questions. I cannot express enough how wonderful Peggy, and the quality of her flowers and work is. Truly, the best florist in the Chicagoland area!

knew nothing about flowers or what we wanted, she quickly set us on the right track and showed us some ideas we we were really excited about. She was understanding when we tweaked the things we wanted and added things closer to the wedding, always responsive when we had questions or needed to adjust something. And then, of course, on our actual wedding day the flowers were PERFECT. When I arrived at the church for our ceremony, Peggy and Mary Pat were there, our bouquets ready to go, and Peggy was waiting to make sure the ribbon wraps matched my girls' dresses. My bouquet was absolutely breathtaking, and it was all just so beautiful. The same was the case at the reception - the centerpieces were simple but gorgeous, and really added to the celebration and elegance of the day. We couldn't be happier with Peggy, and highly recommend her. She was a joy to work with and the results were just beautiful.

amazing work!

ke down your arrangements. Peggy was the florist for my wedding and both of my sisters' weddings and each time her work was incredible. She has a great attitude and is so wonderful to work with!

ld recommend Peggy to anyone who needs beautiful flowers and wants them done with care and passion. Thanks, Peggy!!

dn't like. The bouquets and arrangements 110% exceeded any and all expectations we had. Not to mention she is just such an absolute sweetheart and so incredibly easy to work with - especially when it came to our budget. We got SO MANY compliments on our flowers and it was all thanks to Peggy. She is truly amazing and we would definitely recommend her to ANYONE looking for flowers for an event. She will not disappoint!!

l go together and what will work best for the seasons, your colors, and especially will work with whatever budget you have! We were able to not only get beautiful flowers but we also rented our arch and lanterns from her! She delivered the flowers to our venue and I almost cried - the flowers were so amazing with the vague ideas I gave her she blew me out of the water! She pinned all the butineers on the boys and it all was amazing. She went above and beyond by recycling the decorations for our ceremony and repurposing them and adding that special touch to the reception area. All without our guests knowing about her amazing work behind the scenes and the recycling of decorations! She is incredible and if you need anything she was right there to help along the way. Not only is her work incredible she is so easy to talk to and plan with. She is so fun and happy and made me so excited about flowers when I didn't think I cared that much!

would have thought of. Peggy added flowers to the arbor for our ceremony and repurposed them and used them inside the reception hall after. The flowers in my bouquet smelled amazing and looked so beautiful. We loved Peggy and were so glad she was able to take my general ideas and run with them to execute exactly what I had in mind. I couldn't recommend Peggy and Garvin Gardens more!

ts. She even helped us place flowers around the venue if she thought they were needed there. The place was a dream!

t was even able to meet the wedding party at our different locations the morning of our wedding to hand out bouquets and corsages, and pin the boutonnieres. Garvin Gardens is wonderful and I recommend them to anyone in need of flowers for an event.

her craft. She was so attentive to detail and listened to my (many) requests throughout the planning process, and it really felt like she was just as excited as I was about the flowers for my wedding day. Some people may think flowers are just a waste of money for a wedding, but I couldn't disagree more. The flowers were breathtaking and elevated our entire day to a level of classiness and beauty that I didn't think possible. I felt like my wedding was something out of a magazine thanks to Peggy!! And in hindsight, to think about how reasonable it all was, truly blew me away! I created a "tropical lush" look for my wedding, and when I walked into the reception hall at cocktail hour and saw what she'd done to the place, tears just started streaming. Not only was I speechless then, but when I saw my bridal bouquet and the church flowers at the ceremony, Peggy completely surpassed my high expectations. She was a PIVOTAL part in making my wedding day a complete DREAM!

terpiece idea and took off like a rocket with it. All of my guests were commenting well after the wedding how ama, the flowers/centerpieces were. I couldn't have been happier, I was truly blown away by the level of skill and creativity! Worth every penny spent!!

dget. We loved her idea for a fresh rose petal aisle and she had no problem adding a last minute focal point to the arbor which we also used to decorate the head table. Thank you Peggy for creating our unbelievably gorgeous floral arrangements, bouquets and designs!! Kim and Jessica Osko

y delivered everything on time and made sure our venue had what they needed for the ceremony and reception. Peggy was easy to work with and very organized.

chedules but we spoke on the phone about my vision and I have to say that I was completely blown away by how beautiful the flowers turned out. I met with 3 other florist in Chicago and her prices were the most reasonable. Peggy is very easy to work with and very flexible. I changed my order a few times leading up to the wedding and she was so easy going about it and was able to accommodate the changes. I got so many compliments on the flower arrangements. Everything was perfect!

s were fresh and vivacious and Peggy's enthusiasm was second to none. On the day of the wedding, everything was sorted and organized to ensure flawless distribution. Peggy's passion with her designs is evident and I commend her vested interest in our events.

d. She and her assistant took care of every detail, even staying after the ceremony to move the flowers to the reception. Absolutely beautiful!

e everything looked perfect on my wedding day. She made all my wedding bouqets, table flowers, table garlands, and an arch garland. She came to my wedding venue early in the morning and made sure that she set up everything on time. Peggy also waited patiently for us to finish taking photos under the ceremony arch to take down the flower garland so we could reuse it on our sweet heart table. I highly recommend Peggy for any event and you will be guaranteed to have amazing floral arrangements.

and they were definitely the first photos I printed from our day! Our photographer also mentioned how they were the prettiest flowers she has ever photographed. Peggy you were great! Thank you so much for being a part of our day and going above and beyond and being so easy to work with! We loved them!! :)

eek before the wedding, I asked for a couple of changes and Peggy didn't have any issues with the change. Peggy is so full of energy that helped the big day so much easier!

ere a little brighter than I anticipated, but overall I loved the flowers. I would DEF recommend Garvin Gardens! R

ne using her.

whole night. Couldn't recommend Garvin Gardens anymore!

eir weddings, and it became obvious to me why in our very first meeting. Peggy is everything you would hope for and more: meticulous in her attention to detail, knowledgeable and talented in her craft, and a loving and joyous person to work with. We could not have been happier with how our floral arrangements turned out. Not to mention that Peggy's prices are more than competitive for the Chicago area. We highly recommend you consider Garvin Gardens for your wedding, and then tell all your friends how fantastic she is!

I and blew my vision out of the water! It was set up exactly how I had envisioned, the flowers were better than I expected, and everything was just perfect. Peggy was great to work with, timely in responding to calls/emails/all my questions, and very reasonable in price compared to other florists I had talked with. HIGHLY recommend Peggy!!!!!

rs) really loved them!

job on our bridal party bouquets and boutonniere's. I highly recommend her!

! We planned our flowers with her about a year before the wedding and we had a decent idea that we liked all the flowers independently, but we're visual people so to see them all together was tough before the day of so naturally we were a little nervous. When she showed up (early!!) on our wedding day the flowers were simply stunning. They were the right size for the table, arch, everything. I simply cannot say thank you enough for the wonderful work in planning, sourcing and arranging such gorgeous flowers for us. Further, Peggy's prices were spot on. She found us everything (from boxes, to boards, etc) we couldn't find on our own and provided everything, including flowers, at a very fair price. I would strongly recommend any bride in the Chicago Area to work with Peggy.

are still talking to me about how beautiful the flowers looked at our wedding. She even made an adorable flower crown for my flower girl to wear! I strongly suggest choosing Garvin Gardens, I was 100% satisfied with Peggy's work!

lowers were not something I would have to stress over (which I was incredibly grateful for!) Peggy made sure everything happened flawlessly, and I didn't have to worry about making sure everyone had their flowers, it just happened! I really cannot say enough about how beautiful the flowers were, they really exceeded my expectations and helped make our day absolutely beautiful!

er/country vintage theme for my wedding and Peggy to an amazing job including all of the flowers that I wanted. Everything was fresh and lovely to the max. I could not have imagined anyone else doing my flowers and being just as happy. Please don't go anywhere else, you may regret missing this one!

er several other florist meetings that had comparable prices. She is very flexible, and came to us for the meeting and met at our house. She was great, the flowers came out exactly as I had imagined. I loved our bouquets! She even went above and beyond and when the bakery forgot to make our cake topper, she jumped in and added some flowers to the top and around the cake to finish it off at the last minute. Would definitely recommend!

ported my choice in colors and arrangements (my mother was there as well). I got exactly what I wanted in my budget. Peggy was super helpful on the day of by even belong set up other decorations as well. Peggy was recommended to me by a friend, and I will be doing the same to all my friends who need a florist! Garvin Gardens is the best!!

and loved the flowers at my wedding!!!

prices. I still couldn't believe how much lower the price was than what I was budgeting for. She even delivered the bouquets right to our hotel room. She is wonderful. I highly recommend her.

ful!
