Peggy absolutely exceed expectations!! She is so fun and easy to work with and the florals for our wedding were spectacular! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Peggy and all the florals she did! Thank you Peggy!!
Peggy is absolutely amazing! She is extremely talented, super sweet, and easy to work with. I told her my color scheme and basically let her figure out the rest and she nailed it! The florals came out better than I could have ever imagined. Highly recommend - you'll be in the best hands!
Peggy did a wonderful job with setting up our arch along with getting our bouquets, corsages and boutonnières created for our big day. We highly recommend her services!
Any questions?
This lady is a god sent! She showed at the grooms house and helped them! Showed up at the hotel and was a Rockstar with the ladies!! She went to the church, got that ready and went to the reception venue, and set that up! She was amazing and had such a knowledge about flowers that was so helpful! All the flowers were stunning and so beautiful! I can't wait to get mine pressed and framed. Book this lady, seriously!
Peggy from Garvin Gardens was amazing! She worked closely with me to pull flowers together that absolutely matched the color scheme I was going for! She is very responsive and great to work with, brought the flowers and moved them from the ceremony to the reception on wedding day seamlessly! Definitely recommend using Peggy!!!
Gorgeous flowers! Peggy went above and beyond! I am so pleased with my bouquet
Peggy was wonderful and the floral arrangements she made were beautiful! Great communication and worked well with our wedding planner, church, and venue. Would highly recommend.
Peggy was an absolute delight to work with! From our first meeting to the big day, she was so friendly and responsive. I do not know much about flowers but had a few photos from Pinterest and Peggy made my dreams come true! Her attention to detail and artistic touch were exceptional and the colors in the flowers popped in all the photos we took. She delivered the flowers early and they were even prettier than I could have imagined! The flowers I received more than exceeded my expectations. I feel like I got top quality flowers for a reasonable price and my bridal bouquet lasted for weeks after the wedding and I was able to get them preserved after I got back from the honeymoon. I highly recommend Garvin Gardens for all your floral needs. I look forward to working with Peggy again in the future for her lovely flowers. My heartfelt thanks to Peggy for turning our day into an unforgettable fairytale!

Thank you so much for your kind words! Everything turned out beautiful!
Best wishes to you and Steve!
Peggy is an amazing florist! She accommodated all of my requests (I had three different centerpiece types and 6 wedding colors) and created a magically beautiful wedding for us. She walked through every flower with me at the initial meeting and worked really well with the inspiration photos I sent to her. I didn't have to worry about a THING. I would highly recommend!
Peggy exceeded my expectations with EVERYTHING. Unfortunately,
we were only able to meet on Google Meets because I lived halfway across the country so I could only see pictures of flowers online. I already knew that things would be beautiful, but what Peggy put together for my wedding yesterday was mouth dropping STUNNING! Her customer service is truly amazing and her and her assistant were even helpful with moving my dreas for pictures. Truly a sweetheart!!!

Peggy
Peggy did an incredible job making my wedding flower dreams come to life! She was so attentive to every single detail, always willing to make changes and answer any questions, and took the time to really understand and recreate my vision. She was so kind and a pleasure to work with. The flowers turned out better than I could’ve imagined and I could not be more grateful for the work that she did.
Peggy delivered exactly what I asked for. She has a fantastic knowledge of flowers and spends the time going over options with you to determine what you like flowers and color-wise. Peggy had both a better price and better-looking flowers than other florists I found in the area. Our guests were fighting over who got to take home centerpieces at the end of the night because they were so beautiful. She also had arches for rent which was convenient and less expensive than renting elsewhere. I would highly suggest using Garvin Garden for your event or wedding.

Hi Sara, Thanks so much for your kind words! Love the pictures too!!
Congratulations and best wishes to you and Kyle!!
Working with Peggy was an absolute dream come true. From the first moment we chatted about my wedding vision I knew she was the one. She understood that I wanted something a little fun and different and she knocked it out of the park. I was honeslty shocked at how gorgeous everything turned out. I also rented my arch, table, and aisle decorations from her and it was great! She had everything I needed to make my vision come to life. She was great with communication, answered all 400 of my questions, and was able to help my dream come true at an affordable price. I would hire Peggy/ Garvin Gardens again and if you're reading this and need a florsit CALL HER! You won't be disappointed.
Working with Peggy was a total pleasure. She had the exact flowers we were looking for at fair pricing. She was prompt with the contract and provided everything as agreed upon. The flowers were stunning and we had so many compliments!! We highly recommend!!

Thanks Sherry! Everything turned out beautiful!! Congratulations to the newlyweds!!
We had an awesome experience with Garvin Gardens! Our wedding flowers were absolutely perfect. I am indecisive and know nothing about flowers, and Peggy was great guiding at us through the entire process. She is super sweet, easy to get ahold of, and truly amazing at what she does! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a florist.
Peggy did a FANTASTIC job! She was so helpful in the planning process when deciding on what color and what type of flower would do well during the month of our wedding. Once the day of the wedding arrived everything looked absolutely amazing!
Peggy was so great, I'm so glad she was our florist! I spoke to a few other companies and the process felt a little cold and sterile. I had an intro call with Peggy and knew she was the one to go with. She's an independent business which kept things low cost and simple. She also was very familiar with our venue and the staff which made things go SO smoothly. We spoke on the phone once or twice, but a few months before the wedding I had a slight panic (since I know next to nothing about florals) and Peggy agreed to meet with me in person to really go over the overall look and feel. Everything was perfect the day of, she delivered exactly what we envisioned. She was at the venue for a few hours to do the changeover from ceremony to reception repurposed a lot of the florals (at her suggestion). I'd 100% recommend Peggy!
BEYOND PERFECT!!!! Peggy was the best to work with! She was so easy to communicate with, she was flexible on meetings, and truly a delight to have! She made my wedding an absolute dream! My flowers were everything I imagined and more! Honestly my flowers made the day!! She went above and beyond with the centerpieces, the ceremony arch, my petal toss, and my floral seating chart! Peggy for the win!!!
I was so lucky to find Peggy Garvin through this site. It can be so overwhelming looking for vendors because there are a lot out there, but you do NOT have to look any further. Everything about my experience with Peggy was beyond exceptional. Her communication and professionalism throughout the planning process made us feel so comfortable. I knew after about first phone conversation that she could completely accomplish our vision. I had no concerns and no reason to have any. She exceeded my expectations. From her beautiful flowers and creativity to her advice and execution of our vision, we were so incredibly pleased. No need to look any further. Peggy is IT!❤️

Peggy did an AMAZING job making my floral vision for my wedding come to life! My flowers were absolutely stunning, and you can tell she really paid attention to what I wanted. She was very easy to communicate with and was very reasonably priced for how beautiful everything turned out.

Thanks Kelly!!
Everything was beautiful!
Best wishes to you and Sean!
Got my flowers for my wedding through Peggy at Garvin Gardens. I had a signed contract that stated I, the bride, was to get a cascade bouquet. Unfortunately, my bouquet was no different than my bridesmaids flowers. Well, the only difference was that mine had white fabric wrapped around the based of the followers while theirs was the color of their dresses. I literally started crying on my wedding day right before walking down the aisle because I didn't get what I ordered. I even called to confirm everything the week of the wedding. What upset me the most was that Peggy putted out what she claimed to be our contract with the brides flowers listed as a regular bouquet, and I pulled up my email with the signed contract right there to show her she must have fudged a non-signed contract ahead of time because she had to know that she wasn't able to provide me with what was ordered. The flowers themselves looked nice just not what I ordered or paid for. I would NOT use Peggy at Garvin Gardens unless you want part of your wedding day ruined.
Response from the Vendor on 04/08/2022
So sorry for the miscommunication with the style of your bridal bouquet. As I remember you had changed the natural style bouquet to a natural style cascading bouquet a couple weeks prior to the day. I must of pulled up the orginal order when p...
reparing your flowers. I am really sorry as I had expressed the day of. Your bouquet was larger and had all the fresh flowers promised to you. It was larger than the bridesmaids bouquets with more flowers as well.
Again, I am so sorry for causing you to be upset on your special day.
I have been a bridal florist for 37 years and this is the first time I have had a issue.
Good luck and best wishes to you and Alexander.
She DELIVERED! We wanted big balls of baby's breath like snow balls, and she gave us exactly that. We are so excited with how everything turned out. She also allowed us to stay within our price range and we had an open discussion at the beginning to make sure everything came to a price we were comfortable with. On the day of, she was nothing but spectacular! She helped us set up the decorations in the church, as well. So grateful! Definitely recommend!

Thanks Brittany! Beautiful winter wedding and gorgeous bride!
Congratulations!!
Peggy is amazing!! She was so easy to work with from the very beginning of wedding planning she worked with my vision and budget. She was so patient when it came to rescheduling . I couldn't have been happier with the final result. Everything was beyond perfect and beautiful. She also went above and beyond for us. At the church she helped me with my train and veil for walking into the church & photos. We had so many compliments on the floral arrangements and centerpieces.
Response from the Vendor on 11/10/2021
Thanks Nina! Glad I could be apart of your special day! Congratulations to you both!
There are no words for how wonderful Peggy and her team did for our wedding on 10/16/21. They all went above and beyond with our flowers not just dropping them off but staying to make sure every thing looked picture perfect.
She did everything I wanted to a tee and I didn’t worry about a thing. If fantastic service isn’t enough to book Peggy and team the flowers were breathtaking. If you are between florist and need to make a decision Peggy and her team is the way to go.

Thanks Kendall! Glad we could be apart of you and Ron's celebration!
Congratulations to you both!

Beautiful bride and beautiful wedding!

My bouquet was more than I could have imagined. It was so beautiful and perfect! Peggy took 2 pictures I sent her and combined them into 1 super amazing bouquet!! My girls had hydrangeas which I fell in love with! Not only were my flowers perfect but so was Peggy. Meeting her on my wedding day was exactly what I needed, she was so happy and friendly and gave me the biggest hug after she handed me my flowers. I will be recommending her to anyone I know getting married for sure!!!!!!!! Thank you for making my day even more perfect, Peggy!
Peggy was great! She was so helpful everything and my bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquets were so beautiful! She was so easy to talk to and very responsive to all my questions which makes planning easier! Highly recommend! Thanks so much Peggy!

Peggy did an amazing job for all my wedding events! She did flowers for my elopement ceremony, bridal shower and big wedding! All the flowers were beautiful and exactly what I had envisioned.
Peggy is so personable. I went to our first meeting with my mom and she sat down with us and took the time to hear all of our ideas. She really helped put to life our vision and the flowers turned out BEAUTIFUL! She was punctual, professional and a lovely woman to work with!

Thanks Christina! Congratulations to you both and best wishes!!!
I had the pleasure working with Peggy. She was very patient when I met with her and my 3 year old toddler. She gave me all my options on my budget without being pushy. She was on time with my flowers and most of all my flowers looked beautiful the day of the wedding!
Peggy was amazing!! So wonderful to work with and our flowers for our wedding were absolutely gorgeous! We received tons of compliments and we couldn't have asked for anything more!!

Peggy is the BEST!!! I originally ordered white and red flowers but changed everything to just white last minute , she made it happen and was extremely understanding and so patient. Highly recommend! All our flowers turned out so beautiful!
Thank you Peggy! 😊

Thanks Taylor!!!
Peggy was fantastic to work with! I can’t praise her work highly enough! She captured my vision perfectly and offered suggestions to which colors would compliment each other nicely. My husband and I were so happy with our flowers. They were gorgeous! She was always very quick to respond when ever I had a question and was flexible with any changes that I had to make. We can’t wait to work with her next year as well since we had to postpone our reception because of COVID. We wouldn’t of chosen anyone else!
Response from the Vendor on 10/06/2020
Thanks Allison!!
Can't wait for the big party next year!!
Peggy is amazing! The flower bouquets were beautiful and the gazebo she decorated at our ceremony was STUNNING! Everyone was blown away by how beautiful her flower arrangements were & the quality is amazing. 8 days later my bouquet is still fresh and sitting in the vase in my kitchen.
Peggy is always so easy going on and very kind! I wish I had more events so I could hire her. Thank you Peggy you are amazing!
Response from the Vendor on 10/06/2020
Thanks so much!!!
Peggy made absolutely perfect arrangements and bouquets for our wedding. I gave her some ideas from photos, and she knocked it out of the park. Thank you Peggy!

Thanks you so much Kinga!
Peggy is the BEST! She has been so patient and accommodating to me and my mom. My guests were all so impressed by her work. So easy to work with and very responsive. She adds to all the weeding excitement and genuinely loves bringing joy to the bride. WORTH IT! She definitely went above and beyond for my wedding.
Peggy is the absolute best! Picking a florist was so easy for me since Peggy also did my sister's wedding! She is reasonably priced and her work is amazing! If you tell her your vision she is able to work with you to pick out the right flowers that will be in season for your wedding and last all day! She also just couldn't be nicer and very clearly loves doing weddings! I would highly recommend her!!!
Working with Peggy was amazing!! She is so talented and really listened and executed my visions of the floral arrangements and venue decor even better than I had envisioned! She is so sweet and patient and made the entire process so easy from start 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!
Working with Peggy was a fantastic experience. We went into our meeting with her having no real idea what we wanted to do. She is so friendly and full of energy, and immediately put us at ease. Even with VERY little direction from us, since we 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.
Response from the Vendor on 11/13/2019
Thank you so much! You looked gorgeous!
Everything came together beautifully with your mixed color palette for the bridesmaids dresses too! It was a pleasure working together.
Best wishes to you both!
Peggy was amazing! She was a pleasure to work with, very professional, very accommodating and very talented. My wedding flowers were everything I could have asked and dreamt of. I highly recommend using her. Thank you again Peggy for all your amazing work!
Peggy is amazing and so knowledgable! She was able to easily create my vision, despite me not knowing names of flowers or having an accurate photo representation of what I wanted. She is very hard working and hustles the day of to set up and take 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!
Peggy was amazing throughout the whole process! She not only was willing to meet with me multiple times and deal with me changing my mind constantly, but she truly embraced my vision and was able to make it fit into our budget seamlessly! I would recommend Peggy to anyone who needs beautiful flowers and wants them done with care and passion. Thanks, Peggy!!
Peggy is the BEST! She absolutely nailed it for our wedding and we really couldn't have asked for better or more beautiful arrangements. She was able to really understand exactly what we were looking for, and never pushed us into anything we didn'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!!

Thanks Jess and Frank!!!
Congratulations and best wishes!!!
Peggy is incredible. Just hire her. She was beyond amazing. My mom and I had a meeting with Peggy for about an hour and a half to explain my very vague vision for flowers I thought were pretty. She is so knowledgeable about what flowers will 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!
Peggy is absolutely amazing! I was so clueless about flowers and she was so wonderful to work with! I would highly suggest her services!
Peggy was professional, very approachable, and quick to respond. She has a fun easy going personality as well! The flowers were gorgeous and just what I pictured and more based on my inspiration photo!

Thanks Sarah!!
Peggy absolutely blew our expectations out of the water with the flowers on our wedding day. I met with Peggy twice before the wedding, showed her pictures of what I was thinking, and discussed ideas. She had so many great suggestions I never 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!
Response from the Vendor on 07/29/2019
Hi Sarah,
Thanks for the great review!
Best wishes to you and Chris!
Peggy is truly amazing. She went above and beyond to make our flowers and reception decor so special. She listened to exactly what we wanted and made it happen- even when I had some last minute changes and requests!
Response from the Vendor on 11/20/2018
Thank you Lauren!!! Best wishes to you both! Happy holidays too!
Peggy's work is amazing. I told her my general idea and her knowledge brought it to life. My bouquet was gorgeous and my flower girls flower crown was exactly as I has dreamed. Peggy was willing to help us in anyway and made gorgeous arrangements. She even helped us place flowers around the venue if she thought they were needed there. The place was a dream!
Response from the Vendor on 10/29/2018
Thanks Jessica! Best wishes!!!
Peggy and MaryPat were amazing to work with. They were friendly, accommodating and easy to work with. We booked Garvin Gardens for our wedding and I am so happy we did. The flowers turned out beautiful and they were exacty what I wanted. MaryPat 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.

Peggy was friendly and easy to work with and our wedding flowers came out even more beautiful than I imagined!

Thanks Jessica!!! Congratulations and best wishes!!!
I can honestly say that there were two people (outside of our friends and family) that made our wedding day so special, and Peggy from Garvin Gardens was one of them. Peggy is a GEM. She is so full of life and love, and she is a true artist at 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!
Response from the Vendor on 10/09/2018
Wow! Thanks Kelly!!!
Everything was perfect for our big day and I couldn't have been happier. She took some information and just took off with it. The bouquets, wristlets, boutonnieres and centerpieces we're just jaw dropping. She took my very obscure /eclectic centerpiece 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!!
Response from the Vendor on 09/16/2018
Thanks Carrie!
Garvin Gardens did exactly what we asked for! Our daughter’s outdoor wedding was beautiful thanks to Peggy and her team. She brought posters of different flowers to our planning meeting, answered our questions and recommended ways to keep in budget. 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!!

Thanks Kim and Jessica!! Congratulations and best wishes!!!
Peggy did an absolutely amazing job with my flower bouquet, my bridesmaids bouquets, and our table centerpieces!! It was beyond what I imagined. The colors in the bouquets matched perfectly with the girls dresses and colors in our wedding. Peggy 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.
I absolutely loved the flower arrangements that Peggy did for my friends wedding so I knew I needed to meet with her when I was looking for someone to handle my wedding flowers. Peggy and I didn't get to meet in person because our conflicting schedules 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!
Peggy was highly recommended by a close friend and I am glad I reached out. The floral arrangements for both the rehearsal and wedding were outstanding! Peggy was a joy to work with and listened diligently to mine and the bride's wishes. Flowers 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.
Wow! Peggy at Garvin Gardins was incredible. From the first time we met, she was so accommodating. I came with a few ideas and she ran with it. The day of the wedding, she showed up and the flowers were even better than I could have imagined. She and her assistant took care of every detail, even staying after the ceremony to move the flowers to the reception. Absolutely beautiful!
Peggy was wonderful! We shared a few designs we liked and she began working from there. She was able to combine the elements we liked and keep us within budget. She was a pleasure to work with and everyone loved our flowers.
Peggy was my florist for my wedding in August and she did a fantastic job. She has a great eye and understanding of what works and how to incorporate all your ideas for your floral vision. Peggy was always on time and accommodating and made sure 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.
Peggy is OUTSTANDING! I had seen her work in 3 weddings before mine and knew she was the only florist for me! She is super creative and knows how to deliver exactly what you are looking for. I couldn't be happier with how our flowers turned out 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!! :)
Peggy knew exactly what we wanted for our wedding and was incredibly sweet to work with. I walked into our first meeting not really knowing what I wanted but had a vision. She created my vision by me just picking out a couple of flowers. A week 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!
Peggy was WONDERFUL. First, she's outside Cook County (less tax!); and she's so friendly. She responded quickly to emails. And she even made sure I had loose flowers for my hair. (I picked them up the night before the wedding.) The pink Roses were a little brighter than I anticipated, but overall I loved the flowers. I would DEF recommend Garvin Gardens! R
Peggy is a gem! She was so helpful with the delivery of the flowers and moving them from the church to the reception. My bouquet was gorgeous and her pricing was better than anybody else's. Her work is beautiful and I'd highly recommend anyone using her.
Peggy was so easy and enjoyable to work with! Our first meeting was so fun, and when I saw the flowers on our wedding day, they were exactly what we had talked about and planned. All of bouquets were gorgeous and stayed fresh and beautiful the whole night. Couldn't recommend Garvin Gardens anymore!
Simply amazing! Flowers were absolutely perfect!!! I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful bouquet! I would highly recommend Garvin Gardens.
Peggy did a phenomenal job with our wedding flowers. They were absolutely stunning!
If you are looking for the most beautiful, high-quality floral arrangements, the best service, unbeatable prices, and to work with the most lovely woman, then look no further than Peggy Garvin. Over ten of my girlfriends have used Peggy for their 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!
After being referred to Peggy by multiple people I knew she had to be great- and she did not disappoint! After meeting in person and several phone calls to discuss my vision for my fall wedding, Peggy made the trip from Elgin to Lake Geneva, WI 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!!!!!
Peggy truly has passion for what she does and it absolutely shows! She was just the sweetest to work with and her work is breathtaking! I am so happy to have chosen Garvin Gardens to do our wedding. Even my husband (who has no interest in flowers) really loved them!
We used Peggy from Garvin Gardens for our wedding this past May. Peggy is such a delight to work with.! She is so easy going and has such a bubbly personality. Communication with her was easy, her prices were reasonable and she did a beautiful job on our bridal party bouquets and boutonniere's. I highly recommend her!
Peggy was so wonderful to work with! She even helped us transfer the flowers from the ceremony to the reception. I had a blast getting together with her to talk about our vision. The wedding turned out beautiful because of her help!
Peggy absolutely stunned us with her work. When we initially met with Peggy to pick our designs I showed her a few pictures, she told me what would/wouldn't work due to seasonality/durability and then off we went; easiest vendor planning of all! 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.

Thank you for your kind words! Best wishes to you both!!!
Peggy is simply the best! She was so helpful from day one and my fiancé and I really enjoyed working with her. She had great ideas and made wonderful suggestions while we were choosing flower arrangements...everything looked stunning! My guests 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!
I could not have been more pleased with the flowers at my wedding, and that is all thanks to Peggy at Garvin Gardens! She is so creative, and has such a wonderful eye for what flowers compliment each other, I knew after the first meeting that flowers 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!
Peggy did the flowers for our wedding and they turned out better than I could ever imagine. We only met twice, and after showing her a few pictures and giving her a color scheme she created the bouquets of my dreams!
I chose to have wildflower/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!
Peggy saved me more than once! First, my original florist let me know 6 months before my wedding that she was pregnant and due on my wedding so I had to quickly find a new florist. Peggy from Garvin Gardens was the only florist I could find after 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!
Peggy was the only florist we met with because after meeting with her, I couldn't imagine anyone better. Peggy is extremely knowledgeable and helpful in designing arrangements. I also appreciated that she made sure I was happy and that she supported 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!!
Peggy Garvin, the owner of the floral shop is amazing. She is so personable and willing to meet as many times as you want to go over flower ideas. She is very reasonable and everything turned out absolutely beautiful. I am so thankful for Peggy and loved the flowers at my wedding!!!
Peggy did an amazing job with our wedding flowers. She even made a hops and barley boutonniere for the groom and groomsmen since we're homebrewers! She took all our ideas and turned them into gorgeous bouquets, and all at extremely reasonable 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.
My flowers were beautiful. Garvin Gardens is a family based company that does quality work. I was extremely happy with all of the flowers at the wedding and they are a fairly low price. Peggy Garvin, the owner was extremely friendly and helpful!
Peggy Campbell is owner and hands on all the way!! She did an amazing job on all of the flowers! The flowers were fresh, fragrant and stunning. She is the best florist and very helpful and creative!
And reasonable!!
