My experience with Westgate Flowers was amazing! My husband and I met with Paul and shared my inspiration pictures. His knowledge shown as he observed the trends apparent in the photos and was able to put together example bouquets and boutonnie...
res 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!
We loved working with Westgate Flowers! They were so easy to work with during the planning process and helped us put together the perfect plan based on our vision and budget. On the day of when the flowers started arriving, I was ecstatic. Ever...
ything 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!
Westgate flowers was amazing to work with! They worked with us through multiple covid-related reschedulings without issue, and they helped us switch our original spring plans to a 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!
I really can't say enough about Westgate. Although I met with several other florists, and it took a little while to make a decision, I knew from the first meeting with Paul, that 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!
Paul and Adam were great to work with. I gave them an idea of the flowers and colors that I wanted for our wedding and asked them to put it together. Our flowers were absolutely beautiful.
I would highly recommend Westgate Flowers!
Paul at Westgate Flowers is by far the sweetest gentlemen my husband and I ever met. He was very communicative with us leading up to the wedding. In fact, when we were picking out 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!
We had a wonderful experience getting our wedding flowers at Westgate! They perfectly executed our bridal bouquet and boutonniere and were extremely professional to work with.
Paul and the whole team at Westgate florist are amazing! They did a wonderful and detailed job on our flowers! Decor was beautiful! One of the best parts of the wedding! Would highly recommend them! Very professional!
Westgate has been extremely helpful in my entire wedding planning process. They helped me pick the best ever flowers for my upcoming nuptials and shower. They also create beautiful arrangements to pick or or deliver. Paul runs a fantastic bu...
siness.
Westgate did my daughter's outdoor wedding this past Labor Day and it was beyond beautiful. Just fantastic! We could not have been more pleased. My daughter even took her bouquet on her honeymoon! We highly recommend Westgate not just for your...
wedding but for your everyday floral needs.
Absolutely the best flower vendor! The flowers were beautiful, smelled great, and everyone commented on how amazing they looked. We had an outdoor backyard wedding for quarantine and 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!
Words aren't enough to describe how amazing Paul is -- as well as the entire team at Westgate flowers. He saw our vision immediately and delivered the most beautiful flowers we had ever seen. He was communicative, organized, and flexible when w...
e made a couple last-minute changes. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful these flowers were!
Paul, Adam, and everyone at Westgate were amazing to work with. After reading several reviews and browsing online for a wedding florist, I called to make an appointment. We sat down, 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.
Paul and the Westgate team are absolutely amazing to work with! The flowers are truly stunning, but the customer experience is what really puts Westgate ahead in my mind. When I first 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!!!
I didn’t know exactly which types of flowers I wanted for my wedding day, but I had a very specific feel and color scheme in mind, and Paul absolutely delivered. The florals were all gorgeous, the communication was there throughout the planning...
up until the wedding day, and the pricing was extremely reasonable. Highly recommend!!
Paul was so wonderful and the flowers for our wedding were amazing. Paul was so easy to work with and brought my vision to reality on the day of our wedding. Everyone at our wedding complimented all our flowers.
We loved Westgate flowers. We worked with Paul and he was very easy going and informative. The flowers and bouquets were exactly what we wanted and looked great at our venue. We live out of state and it was still very easy to communicate and d...
ecide 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!
We had an excellent experience with Westgate. Adam and his colleagues were incredibly respectful of our limited budget and simple taste, and the finished product was absolutely beautiful.
Perfect! The flowers were beautiful and elegant. Working with Paul was a dream! He was so easy-going and very helpful in helping me decide what flowers would look the best with my wedding vision. He also let me borrow his stools because it work...

If you need a place to get your flowers for your wedding, go to Westgate!
Westgate Flower and Plant Shop in Oak Park, Illinois created the gorgeous flower arrangements for my 1920’s Chicago themed wedding in December. After several productive meetings with 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!
Westgate Flowers EXCEEDED all expectations! They were so wonderful to work with during the planning process and were so patient as we changed our flower arrangements at least 5 times. 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!!
Wonderful to work with in just stressful times!
Westgate did all the floral design for my wedding, I worked with Paul, and my goodness that were fantastic. I didn't have a single issue and the centerpieces were just perfect. Guests could see each other while still being surrounded by beautif...
ul arrangements. The bouquets were so elegant. Westgate set a beautiful, classic look for my wedding and I couldn't be more grateful.
We knew within 10 minutes of meeting Paul that we needed to hire him for our wedding flowers, and he totally delivered on our wedding day. Every aspect of our wedding decor that he 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!
Westgate was great to work with and did a wonderful job with the ideas/unifying theme of the wedding. The centerpieces were gorgeous and the personal flowers were delivered on time to the venue and were fresh and fragrant! Thanks Paul!
Westgate did such a beautiful job with our wedding flowers! The flowers and candles played a huge role in our wedding aesthetic, and everything looked amazing! From the bouquets and boutineres to the lush green centerpieces and arbor displays e...
verything was perfect. Everyone we worked with at Westgate was professional and helpful, and I knew we could trust their expertise.
Paul killed it! We showed him the color of the wedding party dresses and tuxes, and he efficiently guided us to the best color combos. And it was all a great deal!
They made my wedding bouquet like ok exactly how I wanted it. I was so happy when I’d seen it, I would recommend this place to any Bride go here the prices is very affordable.
AMAZING. My flowers were Pinterest perfect and looked near identical to the picture I showed them. They had all the flowers delivered quickly and on time. I had to make several last minute changes and they were so helpful throughout it all.
The initial consultation meeting with Westgate impressed us so much that we immediately contracted them. They listened to us and asked us questions until they had a thorough understanding 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!
They did an amazing job for my wedding and are very reasonably priced, highly recommend!
GREAT FLORIST! They did my daughter's wedding Oct. 7, 2017. All of the flowers were beautiful. The decorator did a wonderful
job of helping us decorate inside after we had to move it from outside due to rain. Everything was absolutely beaut...
iful and exactly what we ordered. Paul was GREAT to work with and very accommodating. I would recommend this florist anytime.
I had the absolute best experience with my wedding flowers from Westgate. From the initial consult, where flowers were pulled from the cooler to give me an idea of the bouquets, til 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.
Westgate flowers did an amazing job with our daughter's wedding and reception. The beautiful chuppah with white flowers and greenery was sophisticated and elegant. The flowers for the cocktail hour and dinner centerpieces were beautiful and col...
orful. 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.
Words cannot describe how happy I was with the floral arrangements Weddings by Westgate Flowers did for my wedding on September 1st. Everything looked absolutely BREATHTAKING. The 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!
Westgate's flowers truly made our dream wedding come true at the Langham Chicago! Our centerpieces, bridesmaids' bouquets, groomsmens' boutonnieres, and corsages were absolutely stunning! The phalaenopsis orchids for our wedding cake and brida...
l 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!
Paul was the BEST! Our flowers turned out better than I ever could have expected, the cost was extremely reasonable, and Paul was so accommodating! He personally brought the flowers 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!!!
Paul at Westgate was awesome to work with. I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted and he provided an incredible vision! My flowers were GORGEOUS!! And Westgate is very affordable with the highest of quality, best of both worlds. My dad had just pa...
ssed 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.
Paul and the staff at Westgate were great to work with. I did not have a great vision for what our flowers would be, but I was looking for something very simple/classic/elegant. In our initial meeting, Paul was very helpful with flower suggesti...
ons, 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!
We were 100% pleased with our flowers from Westgate and they made our wedding day perfect! We loved working with Paul and he took our visions and brought them to life. We appreciated 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!
Paul & team did a fantastic job on all the flowers for our daughter's wedding. It was an outdoor ceremony with an arbor, 8 attendees on each side, and beautiful table arrangements for the reception in Long Grove, IL. I would strongly recommen...
d Westgate.
Paul at Westgate was absolutely great to work with. Down to earth, realistic, efficient, and creative. We met with a lot of florists before him: many of them tried to sell us the big dream with rainbows and butterflies only to hand us a giant b...
ill 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.
Worked with Paul at Westgate Florist in Oak Park and they far exceeded our expectations. Our flowers were the most beautiful flowers we had seen at any wedding. Our June wedding helped with lots of peonies, garden roses, succulents, etc. We use...
d them for all wedding ceremony flowers and reception flowers. Our photographer even commented that the bridal bouquet was the most beautiful one he had ever photographed. Paul was creative and totally understood the look we were going for and came through with flying colors. Highly recommend this florist and they worked well with us when it came to our budget.
We are so pleased with our experience with Westgate! We chose them because they are local; when I was younger, we purchased all of our corsages for school dances and special events there. We were even more pleased with our experience for our we...
dding. Neither my fiance, nor myself, know much about flowers, but once we explained how we met at a summer camp and the theme of our reception, the staff at Westgate lent their creativity and beautifully captured the tone we wanted! I had so many people tell me how beautiful the bouquets were. I loved my bouquet especially--it was whimsical and unique with fern curls that really got people's attention! Moreover, the flowers were delivered promptly and--despite the 94 degree heat on my wedding day--lasted all night!
Westgate was recommended to me by two people. I selected Westgate for my wedding florals out of five florists that I interviewed and received proposals from. They are very friendly and easy to work with. Paul and I e-mailed initially to come...
up with general ideas and a ballpark budget. Then I went into the shop for a consultation and final selection. I had a relatively low budget (no bridesmaids, no church flowers, 11-12 reception tables), which Westgate was able to work with. There was no minimum amount, which most florists had. Westgate's fee to deliver to my venue in the city was lower than the florists' in the city. The arrangements were gorgeous and matched my multi-color scheme. We used the centerpieces for brunch the next day, and they held up well. Guests complimented the flowers and asked who did them.
I was on the fence about doing it up with flowers; why spend all this money on something that will die?
After meeting with Paul (he is so nice and assuring), I decided to pretty much go for the works. Flowers for the whole bridal party, center...
pieces, and two arrangements for our ceremony space. He gives you a 20% discount if you pay in cash. And I was all about any way yo save some cash.
My bouquet was absolutely beautiful. I loved it so much that I dried it out and kept it in a shadow box.
It was so great seeing everything come together. The quality of the flowers was well worth the price. The big arrangements lasted almost two weeks after the wedding too.
Highly recommended!!
I worked with Paul for my wedding this past October and was really impressed! Westgate came recommended from a friend and they did not disappoint. They were extremely easy to work with, flexible and accommodating to my needs (and changes) throu...
ghout the process, and were extremely affordable compared to other florists I met with in Chicago. I wanted a pops of color with succulents and I was so so pleased with the arrangements they created! We received so many compliments on the flowers (reception, bridal party, decor) and they really popped in our pictures. I'm so glad I used Westgate and would highly recommend them to any Chicagoland area couple!
I really do not know a lot about flowers but Paul was able to create the vision I had in mind for our wedding and was very accommodating our special requests.
Their prices were so reasonable that I was able to include additional items and st...
ill remain within budget.
My flowers were beautiful! SO many guests commented on how gorgeous the centerpieces were. Paul worked with us to get the modern simplicity we were going for- I loved the thistles in the boutonnieres and my bouquet. Great service, reasonably pr...
iced. I highly recommend.
When I first started planning wedding flowers, a coworker strongly recommended Paul at Westgate Flowers after she had used them in her own wedding. She said that several of her friends and family swear by Westgate as well for various floral pro...
ducts or services. I contacted Paul shortly thereafter, and the rest is history! He was incredibly helpful and the floral arrangements he designed came out beautifully! He was more than willing to walk me through my vision of what I wanted for our wedding flowers, and to provide suggestions and guidance when we wanted it. He was able to take the budget we had and the vision we had and make them work together to come up with some absolutely gorgeous floral arrangements and a beautiful bouquet. He even incorporated decorations we wanted to include such as ribbons, pins, pearls, water beads, and decorative picks in the centerpieces, groom's boutonniere, and bridal bouquet. Paul's business partner was equally great on the occasion I was assisted by him in lieu of Paul, and their whole staff was also wonderful and very helpful. Excellent service and product all around.
Paul and his team at Westgate Flowers were incredible. At our first meeting, Paul was great at listening to our ideas and making sure we were getting the flowers and overall style we wanted. He was also good at giving suggestions when my husb...
and and I were unsure about what we wanted. He went through all the different areas that we might want flowers to make sure we didn’t miss anything. We received a detailed quote that day, which put our minds at ease having an estimate that was very close to the final amount. We also met with him a few months later to see a mockup of our centerpieces and bridesmaid bouquets. They looked incredible. Paul was very accommodating as well. I called him to make a few changes and had questions, and he was professional and helpful with every phone call. The day of the wedding, the flowers arrived on time and looked beautiful! They were exactly what we pictured . Westgate Flowers also designed pieces for the altar at our outdoor ceremony and our caketopper. They definitely helped make our wedding day even more beautiful and special!
I had used Westgate previously, so I knew their product would be what I wanted.
Paul met with me and my mom to go over what I expected and wanted. For my bouquet and the bridesmaids; bouquets I wanted orange/pink/coral colors (mostly garden ...
roses and peonies) and brunia berries and other grey-greens. For the guys, we went with coral/orange boutonnieres. Our mothers, fathers, and grandparents received white orchids.
While the bouquets were originally not what I had expected them to look like (a bit more bright pink than dusty pink), I took one look at them and loved them. Paul and his team did such a nice job putting them together and thinking out where each flower complemented the others. They were so beautiful.
For the reception, Paul made centerpieces with coral garden roses and white hydrangea in a glass, square, bowl. Everyone commented on how beautiful they were.
For the head table, Paul suggested using the bridesmaids' bouquets, which worked perfectly.
I would 100% recommend using Westgate Florist.
The most incredible florist! Paul and Adam (the owners) are the most talented in the industry. They took my vision and made it a reality. They listened to what I wanted with colors and cascading and types of flowers and created what can only be...
called a masterpiece. I wanted a bouquet with some bling in it. The day of my wedding Paul (one of the owners) felt that there wasn't enough sparkle in my bouquet. So at 6am that morning he drove to the flower mart and got different crystals to put in my bouquet! What vendor does that?! The arrangements were MAGNIFICENT! Everything I could have hoped for and more!
Paul was great to work with, and my bouquet was absolutely gorgeous!
I am a landscape architect. I am familiar with and love flowers. I had some very specific ideas about what I wanted for our wedding day and farewell brunch flowers, both at historic properties in Oak Park.
I worked with Paul throughout the pr...
ocess. He was very patient and had great ideas to add for both events. I was blown away at how spectacular the flowers turned out. The arrangements at both events were were perfect- incredibly fresh, colorful & unique flowers. We received so many compliments! Our guests were thrilled to take the arrangements home at the end of each event.
The first meeting I had with Adam at Westgate, I knew I made the right choice! I brought in some pics, and described what we wanted. The arrangements and color/flower combinations were described to me so well that I was pretty excited at what ...
the end result would be. I wanted black feathers and a locket of my mom who has passed included in my bouquet....it, along with all the other flowers turned out beautifully....even the boat venue crew were asking me about our beautiful, elegant arrangements....we have always used this florist for other reasons, and I am more than happy they were part of our big day! Their pricing was way less than our other option, and they were very professional and courteous. Thank you Westgate for making our special day beautiful...
Christine & Ross
Flowers were as expected and delivered on time. I am not a big flower person but was able to find a picture online and they were able to exactly recreate the picture I saw. They even delivered the toss away bouquet to the reception so I didn't ...
have to worry about it.
We went with this company, because my friend used them for her wedding, and I couldn't have chosen anything more perfect. The girls were wearing navy blue dresses, so I wanted a bright spring colored bouquet with different flowers inside (roses...
, daisies, hydrangea, etc.). Adam helped us create a beautiful arrangement that was absolutely perfect! Also, when it came to my bouquet, I wanted something similar, but more focused on an ivory and pink color. He was able to take my requests and the bouquet was stunning! What was great was that for bouquets and boots for a 7 person party, along with my bouquet and the toss bouquet and everything else that came with it for the parents, ushers, etc. the price was under $1200. That included transportation too. I thought that was completely reasonable considering I have heard people talk about flowers costing several thousand dollars. If you want a great, tried and true, flower company for your wedding, this is it!
I hired Westgate to do all of our personal flowers as well as the centerpieces for our June 2014 wedding. I'm not a flower person at all, but they were very accommodating of my requests for simplicity. All the flowers were delivered promptly to...
the hotel where our wedding party got ready, the altar arrangements were setup as expected, and the centerpieces looked beautiful. I would definitely recommend them for other brides and any other occasion!
I used Westgate Flowers for our wedding and they were wonderful to work with. Their arrangements were beautiful. We shopped around for a florist and Westgate was the most helpful and impressive. They responded to our e-mails and were availab...

as a custom floral arrangement for our Unity candle. It was the perfect size and complemented the alter just the right amount. I would gladly use Westgate again!
A long overdue review. After I sent a spectacular arrangement for a birthday the other day it reminded me to give a thumbs up were one is due.Westgate has been our family florist for years so it was a no brainer to have them do our wedding.
As...
always everyone was easy to work with, attentive to our needs and accommodating when we made adjustments.
The final presentation was great and made my wife cry when she saw the ceremony set up.
Many thanks for a great job again and again.
Adam and his crew did an absolutely awesome job preparing our flowers, setting up our chuppah and all of the beautiful decorations adorning the area for our wedding on 8/23/13. They stayed throughout the whole ceremony to make sure everything ...
was perfect and promptly removed everything in time for the reception to be set up. We would highly recommend Westgate Flowers to anyone looking for an absolutely perfect, incident-free, professional florist for their wedding or any other important event. Thank you Adam and Westgate Flowers!!
I would highly recommend Westgate flowers. The quality of the flowers were excellent and I got exactly what I wanted. Paul (owner) was super nice and was able to accommodate my wishes.
When I went to Westgate, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my flowers. I showed Paul my colors, and in about 2 minutes, he whipped together amazing bouquet ideas. He always responded promptly to our questions and he worked with our budget....
What he produced on the day of the wedding was beyond beautiful. I absolutely would recommend Westgate!
They beat a price of a vendor far away and worked with the venue to get everything set up on time. I got a lot of compliments on the arrangements.
We wanted to stay local and within our budget for flowers as they were not our top priority and we weren't sure what we wanted. We met with several florists and just were not impressed. THEN we met with Paul at Westgate. He asked all the right ...
questions to help us realize we did have strong opinions of what we wanted. He was straightforward, offered great ideas, knowledgeable, and incredibly flexible with me even as I changed my mind more than once! Our flowers turned out more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. When I saw my bouquet for the first time-I cried. YEP-that is how well they put together something that reflected exactly what I wanted (well actually better). I have truly never seen such beautiful bouquets. Westgate Flowers will now be my go to florist for anything I ever need again!
I talked to both Paul and Adam about the flowers they provided for our Sept 2, 2012 wedding. They did a spectacular job. I initially went there because they were close by and had decent reviews.
I did not have a vision for our wedding-my o...
nly criteria was "no white flowers". I wanted bright cheerful colors. Paul sat and went through options with pictures and listen to me like some and not like others, even though my family (who had decided to accompany me) and I were extremely awkward. He and Adam listened to me be a cheapskate and waffle on little tiny details. In the end, they did a great job with bouquets, boutonnieres, table pieces, a mantlepiece and a few loose flowers for decoration. I couldn't have done better or even half as good if I had picked it myself. I loved it, it wasn't goofy looking and everyone else there admired them as well! Oh, and it was all less than $1000. Delivery was included. Thank you, Westgate!
Paul was absolutely fabulous, he was attentive to my emails and everything we wanted. There was not a detail left untouched. He dropped all the personals off at the hotel prior to pictures - they were all stunning and in perfect condition (ever...
ything we talked about - no surprises). He then went to the ceremony/reception location. For the ceremony he did all the floral, chuppah and runner - everything was perfect, we had nothing to worry about. He then struck the chuppah immediately after and really transformed the room with the table florals - everything was stunning. Everyone commented on it the evening off and in the days/weeks following. We couldn't have been more pleased with our experience, Paul was amazing, nothing was left unturned and there were no surprises!
The appointment went really well and I was excited about the flowers we chose. However, the arrangements that were delivered were not in the color combinations we requested. Otherwise the service was great. They were on time, nothing was missin...
g, and the people there are very nice. It may have just been the season...
I met with Paul to discuss my flower needs and he won me over completely with his easy going charm and his professional yet personable approach. I had some ideas about my arrangements, but I also appreciated and benefited from Paul's thoughtful...
suggestions. He shared his portfolios with me and took as much time as needed to discuss different options for colors and textures. He also took great notes, so the results were exactly what we had discussed and what I was expecting. Our family and friends were very impressed by the arrangements, and all of the delivery and set up was done in a timely and professional fashion.
When we went looking for flowers for our wedding we picked some top rated companies on the knot. Our first meeting was in a loft in the West Loop and there were no flowers to be seen. We chose our flowers from flash cards and were given an ex...
tremely high price that was way out of our price range.
Then we talked to the people at Westgate. After a few emails with Paul at Westgate we made an appointment to go in the shop and meet the guys. When we arrived we were hit by the smell of flowers, it was a true flower shop! That was the sign that things were going to be much better. Once we met with Paul we saw that he had thrown together some sample center pieces for us, not one but two sample center pieces! They were beautiful and we signed that day.
The prices are good, the work is amazing. Our wedding flowers were absolutely beautiful and much more than I ever imagined. The guys even drove back to their shop on our wedding day because we needed something to drape over the stage at at our venue and we were not aware of this. Truly gear people to work with.
Our flowers were gorgeous! I don't know anything about picking flowers but I they listened to what I thought I wanted and made exactly what I hoped for. Their prices were very reasonable and the whole thing could not have gone more smoothly.
Adam at Westgate was excellent in designing and producing the floral arrangements for our wedding. The planning process was enjoyable (especially for me the groom) and open for many of our thoughts and opinions. Adam listened and took notes o...
n what we wanted. He was more than willing to tweak and alter the plan a couple of times before the wedding day. On the day of our wedding, the flowers looked beautiful. It was better than we could have imagined. I would highly recommend Westgate Floral for a stress-free experience and excellent quality.
Paul was very helpful and attentive. The flowers were exactly what i wanted- beautiful.
I didn't really know how I wanted my flowers to look but paul helped me. The way he put all the flowers together was great. My bridesmaids and I loved everything. And the Reception flowers were just awesome..
Paul Really worked with us. We were on a budget and He gave me a awesome deal. The flowers were just Beautiful. Everyone was Raving about the Centerpieces. My bouquet was the BEST!!! I really couldn't see myself going with another florist.
I don't know alot about flowers so when I went in to meet with Westgate I knew my colors and a general idea of flowers I liked. I put the rest in their hands and they did an incredible job! It was a bit costly but so worth it! The tall center...
pieces were magnificent and the bouquets were better than I imagined! They definitely know what they are doing and I will recommend them to everyone I know because my experience with them was so fabulous!
My flowers were awesome! Her staff showed up on time and were very professional. My gerbera daisy bouquets lasted allllll day and at th end of the night were still perfect. I was really glad we found her and definitely recommend.
I had a pretty simple but specific order for my wedding flowers. I was absolutely floored when I saw my bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquets for the first time. They were exactly what I wanted and so beautiful. I almost cried when I saw them.

Westgate did an amazing job and were very accomodating to what I wanted. I had called to change and update my order several times before the wedding and I was never met with rudeness, frustration or negitivity. The flowers are gorgeous and affordable. Sometimes flowers can be one of the more expensive part of the wedding. They worked within my budget and were well worth the price. I will use them again if I have an event in Chicago.
My husband has been going to Westgate for years and so when it came time for our wedding it was an obvious choice.
We worked with Paul, one of the co-owners of the shop. I am so thankful that we did. He provided us with some wonderful choice...
s to choose from based on our wedding colors. Not only that but they didn't charge a delivery fee and gave us a discount to accommodate our budget.
My husband and I planned way in advance when we weren't sure of how many tables that we would need for the event. As it turned out we had ordered to much. Westgate was able to arrange all the flowers so that everything was perfect.
We are so thankful that we choose Westgate. The flowers really made the event!!!
The flowers were my favorite show of the day. They were stunningly beautiful and unique. Paul and I clicked at our very first meeting. I gave a general description of the kind of look, colors, and texture I was going for. He suggested speci...
fic flowers and combinations that were gorgeous but economical. I love that guests commented on the uniqueness of our flowers and they didn't bust our budget. The staff is very professional and were flexible with changes and additions as needed. Flowers arrived on time and in place as needed.
If you don't have much money to work with... or even if you do, they know exactly what they're doing! We had red and blue wildflowers, and they were breathtaking. I let him run with whatever he felt would look good, and I'm so glad that I did...
! I started crying when I saw them! Amazing!
Westgate was definitely my best vendor. I had a Hindu ceremony and they were able to build my mandap, exactly the way I wanted for a fraction of the cost of other places. My bouquet was beautiful and exactly the way I wanted. For my receptio...
n they were willing to sell me the flowers (Bombay orchids) so I could make my own centerpieces (orchids submerged in water in a tall cylinder vase). This helped me keep my costs down significantly. Would use any time I needed flowers.
