The Petal

et and offered cheaper alternatives while still keeping my overall vision in mind. On the day of the wedding she was on site and made sure everything looked absolutely perfect. All of my friends and guests were raving about how beautiful my flowers were - they were absolutely stunning. Definitely am recommending the petal to all of my newly engaged friends to use for their wedding.

s so much more. Her work speaks for herself, since I didn’t have an actual picture of what I wanted. She called me one evening and I literally used adjectives, like romantic, classic, whimsical. Tajalli took my words and formed them into incredible pieces for my wedding! Please just go for it with Tajalli and The Petal. Their work is beyond amazing, and their professionalism sets the company a notch above the others. Her prices are fair, she’s willing to work with you as your mind changes, and you will literally gasp as you see everything on your Wedding Day. Thank you Tajalli and The Petal Team! You all are so amazing and helped me have an amazing and BEAUTIFUL wedding!

raft and a complete business professional regarding booking, planning and details overall. Do not hesitate when trying to choose a florist. Everything from the hanging backdrop, to the centerpieces and the accents to the stunning bridal bouquet and boutonnieres were gorgeous. In the age we live in we all drool over Social Media worthy details and The Petal did not disappoint. Everything looked perfect and as if it was out of a magazine. I truly recommend "The Petal" and will continue to support and recommend them to anyone looking for a florist. Thanks again for making our special day that much more magical.

at she envisioned. She handled everything from the ceremony to the reception to the bridal party flowers. Her arrangements are gorgeous and tasteful. And she's a local mom with her own business. 100% fantastic lady.

rry about anything for our wedding. Tajalli was incredible. We had phone interviews to understand what we were looking for and she sent a sample email with what ideas she had in mind. When the day came I was floored. The flowers were so much better in person and we received so many compliments on them. Tajalli was easy to work with, convenient, and responded quickly. She made the whole process that much easier to handle. Thank you so much Tajalli for your incredible work!!

a style board that was absolutely perfect! She was also able to add some last minute greenery for our longer than expected head table. Tajalli's work was amazing and we received compliments on the flowers all day. We are so happy we chose The Petal and would highly recommend!

rd immediately, nailing every idea I had and providing suggestions to make everything more beautiful. I met with one other florist the next day, and not only were they more than double the price of the Petal, they did not share my vision the way that Tajalli did. We could not be happier that we chose the Petal. Bridesmaids gushed over their flowers, and we received so many compliments from guests. Tajalli, I cannot wait to host another event to use you again! Thank you so much for making our day so beautiful.

she told me she would email me a proposal and we had a date picked out to meet for our consultation. Two weeks later, when I arrived in Chicago I emailed her again to confirm our meeting and ask about the proposal as I had still not gotten it yet. She emailed me two days later to tell me that she was no longer available for my wedding date. That would have been nice to know before I had gotten there because my time was limited to meet with vendors. If you are planning from out of town or have a busy schedule, maybe The Petal isn't the best choice.

d us with multiple pricing options, which was great. The flowers/decor themselves were absolutely stunning and exactly what I was looking for based on the moodboard I shared. I highly recommend to others! with and more than willing to work within our budget. She was able to emulate the moodboard I sent beautifully

correctly. Isn't that what you want your wedding team to be like? She is sweet as can be, super kind, and has an eye for beauty. She is truly the best.

nts and flowers at my ceremony were stunning. I couldn't be more happy with the outcome. Tajalli was easy to work with and took care of everything. I am very grateful and would recommend her for future events!

n budget and delivered everything as promised. She even dealt with three different delivery locations between where my fiance and I were getting ready, plus the venue. Everything was absolutely gorgeous, and I still get compliments on the flowers. We made a great investment and felt that everything was reasonably priced! I will treasure the photos of our wedding flowers for years to come.

beautiful with a touch of flair. I don't speak flower very well, but she patiently looked at my pinterests boards and magazine clippings and deciphered exactly what I hoped for but couldn't quite express. It was amazing when it all came together. A million thank yous!

ended up calling the Petal and I explained to her what I wanted and gave her my budget. She was very quick to put something together that worked for me, and was very receptive of any changes I wanted to make. When the big day came everything was stunning! I got so many compliments on the flowers and my bouquet! Even my photographer said it was one of the prettiest bouquets she has seen. And she has photographed 40 different weddings just this year. I couldn't be happier. The pricing was very fair, and the end result was even better than I had hoped for. 10/10 would use the Petal again! Thank you for helping me make my big day so special and so beautiful.

is I was looking for, as many florist merely gave a rough estimate of cost running thousands without knowing any details to our arrangements. Tajalli's prices definitely out beat other florists I came in contact with, and I am pleased to have had someone personable and detail oriented in her work. The pinterest photos I had as inspiration to my wedding day matched even better in person to the tee. On my crazy wedding morning, Tajalli even took the time at the ceremony to stick around for about more than a half hour to help our groomsmen with boutonnieres, flower girls with crowns, mothers with corsages, and until the very last minute waited for me and my bridesmaids arrival to hand off our bouquets without even asking. The Petal was an easy process to work with and I would definitely recommend them to my family and friends in the future! Thank you Tajalli.

one of the only florists in Chicago, out of the many I spoke to, that did not snicker at my budget. After our initial conversation, she sent some follow-up questions that really showed me that she cared about my cultural background and how it is incorporated into the wedding flowers. She then sent a proposal a couple weeks later (I was not in any rush because there was plenty of time) that was detailed and exactly within my budget. After signing the contract, we did not speak again until about 4 months before wedding date. I had a change in reception venue and Tajalli met me at the new venue to make necessary changes to the plan. She was able to get me a new plan in a short time. She also lessened my stress level and coordinated with both of my venues personally without direction from me. For example, I had a miscommunication with the ceremony venue about set-up time. I told Tajalli about it and she reached out to the coordinator at the Nature Museum and took care of the entire situation for me. Tajalli is extremely detail oriented but also very efficient. She always sent follow up questions to make sure that everything was exactly as I wanted but only after careful evaluation of what has already been discussed. I added a couple things last minute and all I needed to do was email her to let her know. Tajalli personally delivered my bouquets, boutonnieres, and flower baskets to our hotel and was on time despite the crazy traffic on Memorial Day weekend in downtown Chicago. The beautiful flowers and the ceremony arch (photos attached) - I did not have a specific color combination for my wedding or for the flowers. I gave Tajalli some photos of flowers I liked and the general colors to avoid for a Chinese wedding. I could not have asked for more gorgeous arrangements. The ceremony arch was so perfect against the backdrop of the Nature Museum. I felt beautiful going down the aisle (thank goodness Tajalli reminded me to hold the bouquet lower). Tajalli also made my crazy idea happen. I wanted to move the arch from the ceremony to my reception venue and convert it into a photobooth backdrop. All Tajalli said was “okay, I think I can make that happen” and she did. My family and friends loved it! When I donated my wedding flowers to Random Acts of Flowers the next day, the director gushed at the beautiful arrangements. Thank you so much for making our wedding even more special.

she could absolutely help me stay within budget. She was always readily available by phone or email. She would quickly turn around and show me different options and flowers. When it came time to finalize our order, she sent me detailed outlines of how many of each item and what the item would look like. She always always ready to make alterations to our order and sent me many pictures of what I was asking for from previous weddings. On the day of, she showed up on time, was very calm (which helped me stay calm) and made sure all the flowers were in place. She explained what we needed to do with our flowers (we were using them as the center pieces later that night) and how to hold them. She then delivered and did the same for the groomsmen. The ceremony was absolutely stunning. We were so happy with her service that, last minute, we decided to use her for the rehearsal dinner the night before. She kept with the same color scheme and made gorgeous arrangements that we were also able to use on the wedding night. I HIGHLY recommend using The Petal for any and all your flower needs. I will definitely be using her in the future.

o a romantic garden feel. The way that she assembled my altar was exactly how I had pictured it. The long tables were absolutely perfect decorated with the gold vases I provided her and the greenery was beautiful. I can't say enough about how amazing she is. If you are looking for a florist for your wedding book The Petal and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed!

in person. We made slight changes to my proposal as the months grew closer to my wedding day and I had a sharper vision for my wedding. I was an out of town bride who planned my wedding from states away. I found it fairly challenging for a number of reasons as it would be due to the distance, but it was unfortunate that I was only able to meet with Tajalli once to describe placement of the flowers in the reception space. I would have liked to walk through the ceremony space too and I would have liked to be able to talk about the floral arrangements when I was in town days before my wedding. Also, I found her working hours to be odd for a business as I was only able to schedule calls with her after 8:00 pm CT, which for me was after 9:00 pm eastern on weekdays. We also butted heads when I made requests to alter the shade of flowers from lavender to lilac and a few other tweaks like that. She suggested that she would need to charge me a fee for the changes, but it clearly stated on my contract that changes are welcomed up until 30days before the wedding. So, all in all the correspondence and customer service aspects were slightly difficult for me was difficult, BUT the final product was really, really good. I think any bride or person in the Chicago area would have a fantastic time working with The Petal and regardless of where you are the actual product and day of service will be great, as mine was. My only complaint with the day of flowers is that I paid for flowers on the cake table and there were none. I look back at my pictures and feel like the table looked incomplete and that bothers me. The pricing of The Petal was very reasonable and I did receive tons of compliments on my flowers. I actually was really impressed with my bridal bouquet. However, it did not stay together well the day after my wedding, so I am upset that I was not able to preserve it.

with their beauty. They were better than I could ever have imagined. I received so many compliments from my guests on the flowers. The Petal was very professional and responsive. Everything arrived on time and I didn't have to worry about a thing. I'll always recommend The Petal. They truly made my day amazing!

all of the emails, the planning board, and the creativity from Tajalli, everything turned out perfectly! I had a very conservative budget for flowers, and The Petal made it work within my budget without giving up quality! I would definitely recommend the Petal to brides!! I'm writing this review, not only because I absolutely owe it to The Petal for doing such an amazing job, but because great reviews are all I had to go on to make this choice from out of town, and I'm so glad that I went by the reviews because they were awesome!!

neymoon, they were so perfect. The whole process was stress free.

line). Thank you so much for all you did Tajalli. I would do business again.

lower arrangements that fit our style. She worked hard to understand our vision of the wedding, and had a really good knowledge of what kinds of flowers would work best to convey our aesthetics. She created pieces that were simple, classic and with just a hint of nontraditional - exactly what we were looking for! I especially loved the little extra touches she included. Like what she did with the flower arrangements on the tables. She added lemons to the rectangular vases to add a splash of color - it was so creative, and we got tons of compliments on it. I still look at my wedding pictures and smile. Best of all, we were able to stay within our budget! I highly recommend the Petal for any event!

pieces, my bouquet, and corsages for immediate family. Everything was done on time and I was able to have them delivered to the venue with time to spare. They looked fresh all night and complemented the theme of the wedding. She seemed to read my mind. I am a professional event coordinator so having someone who is a professional was extremely important to me, and The Petal delivered. I will forever be grateful to them for making my wedding so beautiful.

ing in regards to our wedding. The Petal did a wonderful job listening to our plan for the wedding and recommending options. I love flowers and they were important to me, but I didn't have to worry at all! The ceremony flower balls were my favorite - they created flower balls on stands to frame our ceremony. It was a beautiful, modern touch in a very traditional space. I would recommend them for future events!
