Westgate Flowers Weddings By Westgate

ction of flowers and colors for our ceremony and reception. On the actual wedding day, they delivered and set up all the flowers exactly on time. It was a pleasure to interact with them throughout the entire process. Of all the florists we spoke to, they were by far the most friendly and happy to work with our requests and (relatively short) timeline without being pushy or judgemental. We recommend them very highly!

he right fit. We provided Emma with inspiration images and we were blown away by their work. The colors used in our bouquets, boutonnières and arch matched our wedding theme perfectly. We received so many compliments.

She is super knowledgeable and helped us achieve the look we were going for in the most cost effective way and was patient through all my indecision. She even popped in to say hi (making sure it was okay ahead of time) on my wedding day when delivering the bouquets. She was also willing to work with us in last minute plans the day before our wedding when the weather changed for the worse and it looked like the ceremony would have to be inside instead of outside as planned. Could not recommend Westgate and Emma more! Such gorgeous flowers! 😍 I wish I could upload a photo. Thank you Westgate for helping our wedding be so beautiful and making the process so smooth!

e day of when the flowers started arriving, I was ecstatic. Everything was so beautiful from our centerpieces to our bridal party bouquets. They were also great in helping us pivot when we had to make some changes due to losing guests from the Omicron variant. They helped us re-apply some centerpieces that were no longer needed to additional decor to be used throughout the venue. This ended up being one of my favorite additions to the look of our event! Highly recommend using Westgate Flowers for your wedding!

more seasonally appropriate fall plan without having to redo our whole color scheme. Flowers were delivered in excellent condition to our venue, and everything looked beautiful. A bonus groom boutonniere was included just in case something happened to the original and it was definitely not needed. All the flowers held up well throughout the evening, and several guests were caught stealing some of the flowers in the centerpieces at the end of the night! I would definitely recommend them!

Westgate was the right florist for our wedding. My knowledge of flowers is very basic, and at each meeting with florists, I said the same thing: "I am an out of the box type of woman and didn't want cookie-cutter florals." I showed some inspo pics, as well. Paul was the only one who seemed to instantly "get it." He fairly easily came up with suggested arrangements that he thought would fit my vision. And although I had never heard of most of the flowers Paul mentioned, I was never worried that the team at Westgate would knock this assignment out of the park. Could I have gone with a vendor with a lesser price point? Yes; however, the level of expertise, creativity, and customer service was worth every penny. I was blown away when I walked down the aisle and saw everything, and appreciated Paul's suggestions on how to repurpose flowers from the ceremony to the reception. Family, friends, and even the staff at the venue complimented us on how beautiful the arrangements were. Several people took some home and sent me pictures showing the flowers are still looking good several days later. I highly recommend Westgate Flowers!

autiful. I would highly recommend Westgate Flowers!

flowers, he already had a bouquet set up for us to view what our wedding flowers may look like with the colors we had. He was very flexible as we asked them to deliver flowers to three separate locations and when we went in person to pay him the week leading up to our wedding, he was so sweet to give us a free beautiful bouquet. Our wedding flowers arrived beautifully and were early on the day of! The flowers even lasted about 3 weeks post wedding and made a beautiful keepsake from them! I highly recommend Paul and his team as they are very affordable and have some of the most beautiful flowers! Thank you Paul!

ly recommend them! Very professional!

ul arrangements to pick or or deliver. Paul runs a fantastic business.

on her honeymoon! We highly recommend Westgate not just for your wedding but for your everyday floral needs.

nd the bouquets and boutonnières lasted through 95F weather, sun, and a thunderstorm and still looked brand new the next evening even though they had been out of water and laid on their sides the whole night. The team was amazing to work with and was able to build my bouquet by talking through what I envisioned. I will be going here for many years to come for my flower needs!

ever seen. He was communicative, organized, and flexible when we made a couple last-minute changes. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful these flowers were!

n, discussed what I had in mind, and flipped through binders of pictures. They were quick to send a quote, which they quickly adjusted based on my questions and changes. The pricing was reasonable and the quality was amazing. I basically looked at a picture from their prior work and was like I want exactly that but with sunflowers. I wish I had a picture of the large mantle piece that they created or the corsages, however I do have pictures of my bouquet, the table pieces, and the vases for the ceremony. I sent them a picture of the small bottles that I wanted to use, they asked for dimensions, and quickly emailed me a mockup for the tables. Days before the ceremony I realized I didn't have a vase for my bouquet for after the ceremony and they made sure to bring one. The delivery was on time and they worked well with the caterer and staff to set everything up.

rst met with Paul I thought I had an idea of what I wanted, and he was able to deliver on that without question. He listens intently, is patient and kind, and really wants everything to look spectacular on the big day. A couple weeks before the wedding we were having a check in call to review the proposal and ensure we were happy with the order. There was a design element that I was on the fence about, and Paul stepped in to make a professional recommendation and put me at ease. He knows what he is talking about! The flowers on our wedding day were a DREAM. 5 stars, I would recommend Paul and his team in a heartbeat. Thank you Westgate!!!

ll gorgeous, the communication was there throughout the planning up until the wedding day, and the pricing was extremely reasonable. Highly recommend!!

ng complimented all our flowers.

ive out of state and it was still very easy to communicate and decide on flowers via email. The flowers were delivered on time and we got several compliments on how amazing they smelled. Thanks Paul & everyone at Westgate!

utiful.

wedding vision. He also let me borrow his stools because it worked so well with my dress! If you need a place to get your flowers for your wedding, go to Westgate!

otos and was able to put together example bouquets and boutonnieres during our meeting. His know-how, professional yet friendly demeanor, and willingness to work with our budget were a huge reason we chose Westgate and I am so glad we did! Our flowers were gorgeous and held up so well during several hours of pictures before the wedding, the ceremony, and all the festivities afterward. My bouquet even received a second life as a gorgeous flower arrangement in my home! Logistically, Paul was always responsive to my emails and made sure to touch base with me a few days before the wedding to confirm all the details. The flowers were delivered to our location on time (Paul even took into consideration the 8K going on downtown to ensure he wasn't late). It was such a pleasure to work with Paul and Westgate and I will definitely use them again!

th Paul, our design coordinator, my Mom and I were excited about the custom flower design for the special day. Paul listened to our vision, suggested ideas, and showed us actual pictures of some of the other weddings he had done at the Blackstone Hotel in Chicago and the First Methodist Church, our venue locations. This helped us tremendously to see the actual space as we planned together. Paul was so knowledgeable about different plant types and what arrangements would work best to create the vintage theme that we wanted. The flowers were perfect from the long-stemmed calla lilies that the bridesmaids carried, the mini calla boutonnieres with peacock feather accents for the groomsmen to dainty halos and rose petals for the flower girls. One of my Mom's favorite memories of the reception were the stunning flower arrangements that decorated the elegant ballroom. Our wedding coordinator told us that the florist returned to his shop after setting up the ballroom to bring additional flowers back for the head table to make it “Just Perfect.” Thank you, Paul, for your attention to detail and your talent for creating such beautiful blooms for our wedding!

es. They met with us at the church the day prior to the wedding to help us set up our own decorations and go over everything. The flowers were AMAZING. Just so beautiful. They are very affordable and totally worth it. I would recommend them to anyone!!

sts could see each other while still being surrounded by beautiful arrangements. The bouquets were so elegant. Westgate set a beautiful, classic look for my wedding and I couldn't be more grateful.

touched was stunning and exactly what we wanted. The bouquets, the chuppah, the centerpieces, the lighting, the rose petals on the placecard table and aisle, the candles on the tables, even the fragrant garden smell as you walked into the room - it was all absolutely perfect and so elegant. We have gotten countless compliments on how gorgeous our ceremony / reception were. Thank you Paul / Westgate!

e to the venue and were fresh and fragrant! Thanks Paul!

d boutineres to the lush green centerpieces and arbor displays everything was perfect. Everyone we worked with at Westgate was professional and helpful, and I knew we could trust their expertise.

t minute changes and they were so helpful throughout it all.

tanding of our vision for the flowers. They didn't just provide us examples; they would actually pull up pictures of different flowers and greenery and describe them in detail to see what our opinion on them was. They truly customized our vision and cultured it into a reality! Thank you, Westgate team!

ve it from outside due to rain. Everything was absolutely beautiful and exactly what we ordered. Paul was GREAT to work with and very accommodating. I would recommend this florist anytime.

l the day of, when everything was absolutely stunning. I couldn't have asked for an easier or better experience. The flowers were delivered on time, when I was still at the salon, and they stole the show. the flowers delivered to the church were perfectly placed, and they even left the toss bouquet with the coordinator so it could get to the reception. I didn't have to worry about a thing. I have recommended them to all of my friends and will continue to use them for all my other floral needs.

the cocktail hour and dinner centerpieces were beautiful and colorful. Our daughter had a vision, and Paul worked with her to realize that vision to perfection. There were some aspects we were less certain what we wanted, for example we wanted something for the bar area, I wasn't sure what we needed but I didn't want the bar to look bare. Paul new exactly what to do and made beautiful tall vased arrangements that were perfect for the space. Paul was easy to work with and the prices were reasonable.

flowers were exactly as I envisioned and as I described to Paul in our pre-wedding meetings. The colors and quality of the flowers were amazing. From the moment we booked with Westgate Flowers we knew we were not going to be disappointed. Paul was so great to meet with and listened to exactly what I was envisioning. I pulled up a few things on Pinterest and he quickly learned exactly what I wanted. He even went to get sample flowers and showed me what he was thinking. We met 2 separate times and he couldn't have been more friendly. The bridal bouquets were STUNNING, and the corsages and boutonnieres were gorgeous. They brought everything on time and set it up exactly how I wanted it. I still have the extra flowers in my house and they look almost as beautiful as they did on the day of the wedding. The 2 large arrangements were the most beautiful things I have ever seen. I have received so many compliments from many people about how gorgeous everything was. I will definitely be recommending Westgate Flowers to everyone I know. THANK YOU!

tunning! The phalaenopsis orchids for our wedding cake and bridal hair were more glamorous than we could have imagined! Paul was highly knowledgable...he truly knows his stuff.....recommending gorgeous floral arrangements that complemented our color scheme, bridesmaids' dresses, and groomsmen tuxedos! He brought our ideas for our escort card table and sweetheart table to life that all of our guests wouldn't stop raving about! Because there is such variation to the color palette coral, he was able to send actual pictures of the flowers to ensure the colors were exactly what we wanted. He also exhibited his amazing talents when working on the floorplan and he knew exactly which tables to display the high centerpieces with pinspot lighting for the best photographs! Paul was also very accommodating and professional by setting up a mock up of our centerpiece and bouquets a month before our wedding. The flowers especially the orchids looked elegant and high end for such an unbelievable cost! We highly recommend Westgate Flowers not just for your wedding but for any occasion!

s to me at the Palmer House to make sure they were ok! They were beyond okay!! I got so many compliments on my bouquet and the amazing centerpieces Paul did! Can't recommend them enough!!!

the highest of quality, best of both worlds. My dad had just passed away and I asked if they could wrap his heart shaped locket with ashes I had in my bouquet. I thought it would be wrapped in the stems but instead they found a way for it to be fastened and hang like a heart charm on the outside of my bouquet, it was beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend Westgate.

our initial meeting, Paul was very helpful with flower suggestions, and the final products were perfect! Our wedding was on New Year's Eve, so we did not use floral centerpieces - Westgate did bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages for our moms/grandma. We loved everything! Simple and beautiful! We would recommend them to anyone getting married in the Chicago area. Our wedding was in Oak Brook, and Westgate delivered right on time, on what I am sure was a busy date for them!

ated working with a local company and the services they provided were impeccable. I especially appreciated the last minute changes we made due to the number of guests and how quickly and seamlessly the changes went through. In addition, when the flowers were delivered to us on the wedding day it was evident that care, precision, and pride was taken when preparing all the arrangements. We would 100% recommend Westgate not only for weddings, but any floral needs in your future! We will continue to work with Westgate for many years to come!

for the reception in Long Grove, IL. I would strongly recommend Westgate.

ig dream with rainbows and butterflies only to hand us a giant bill that would've sullied the beautiful experience. Paul was different from the start: he listened, worked with us to maintain our budget, and put his own creative spin on things when asked to. He is a true professional, delivering what we explicitly and implicitly hoped for. A little example: Due to our budget, our decor was simple for the most part, except for the arbor under which we married. This floral arbor was left to Paul's creative choices and the result was absolutely magnificent - more perfect than we could've imagined. I can't stop staring at the pictures we took of it. In conclusion, if you want to work with someone who's a real professional, honest and down to earth, with a great sense of floral design and decor, go with Westgate Flowers.
