Ashland Addison Florist Co

We worked with Meghan and she was awesome to work with. Compared to other companies I looked at in the city, they were by far the best value! She also had no problem making last minute changes that I wanted and everything the day of the wedding turned out so pretty and absolutely perfect!

My flowers were absolutely gorgeous and turned out better then I had even imagined. Not only did they do amazing work but they were so easy to work with! I could not have been an easy bride as I kept changing my mind and my order. They were so friendly and accommodating to all of my needs. I could not speak highly enough of their amazing work and the impact it made on making my wedding day absolutely beautiful.

Amazing flowers and by far the best deal we found. Chris was so great to work with.

It was hard to get a hold of Ashland-Addison on the phone. I left several messages asking about setting up an initial call or meeting, and I never heard back. I finally was able to get someone on the line, and from that point on, I e-mailed them, and that seemed to work much better. It was fun to work with Martha and watch her put flowers together. The bouquets were beautiful. We didn't want to spend a lot on centerpieces, and she came up with a beautiful candlescape mixed with smaller arrangements of flowers, even reusing the bouquets to save us some money. She was very honest about where to get the best bang for your buck (i.e. don't dress up the ceremony chairs because as soon as people sit down you can't see them.) The biggest problem we had happened on the day of the wedding - our venue coordinator, always cool as a cucumber, told me when we arrived that the florist had not yet arrived and asked if I had heard from them. I know she wouldn't have asked me if she had a choice. Luckily, 3 people from Ashland Addison arrived just in the nick of time. I wish they hadn't cut it so close, and/or been reachable by phone so our venue coordinator was in the loop.

Martha and her team created AMAZING flowers for my wedding at the Newberry Library. I requested a large arch/trellace for the ceremony for us to stand in front of, and they created a beautiful 8-9 ft arch with manzanita branches which they fitted with different off white flowers and floating candles. It fit our romantic and sophisticated feel of the decor in the lobby. For the reception, we went big and bold with jewel-tone high/low arrangements as well as for the bridesmaid's bouquets. With their black satin dresses, the flowers popped and looked utterly amazing. I wish i could post some pictures on here so you could see how wonderful they were! Martha is super flexible, creative and willing to work within your budget. I even asked her for a specific more unique flower (white anenome with the black center) and she was able to provide this for my bouquet PLUS the color ones for my bridesmaid's bouquets. My bouquet was stunning with garden roses, stephanotis, dusty millers, eucalyptus leaves and so much more. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Ash Add and plan to use them again for any other flower needs.

Flowers looked wonderful and the staff had great ideas. Everything was delivered and set-up in a timely manner.

They know what they are doing here. I needed a cake topper that had maroon in it. They told me exactly what I needed and how it would look. It was perfect. Their touch with the real flowers and recommendations were perfect!

I worked with Martha at Addison Ashland. I knew I made the right choice when during our consultation she excused herself and came back with my centerpiece made to show me! She even made a mock tablescape so I could see how it would look....all this and I wasn't even a client yet! They are really a full service florist. I didn't have to do or worry about anything. They were going to start setting up for the wedding at 2:30, but I needed bouquets for pictures at 11:30 and they sent someone up separate with all the wedding party flowers without hesitation! I added cake flowers at the last minute and they were stunning. They are not the cheapest, but are competitive with other florists and are worth their weight in gold when it comes to customer service. The only complaint I had was that they were still setting up when I was taking pictures before the ceremony and didn't try to stay out of shots. The room and ceremony exceeded my expectations..I was blown away at how awesome everything was.

I was extremely disappointed with Ashland Addison florist. If you use this service make sure you double and triple check all of your contracts, as they added in a runner for $125 at the last minute which I did not want and it look horrible at my church, they also added pedestals for the church for more $ when my church already provided them...shady stuff. Also I actually purchased all of the vases etc when I only wanted to rent them, so now I have a million vases all over my house. My bouquet and the bridesmaid bouquets were beautiful and perfect however all the flowers for the reception were not right.....we were supposed to have three vases, one with light pink, medium pink and hot pink, and they did not look put together and the flowers look very stringy and last minute...I was not happy with those at alll. And top top it all off they forgot to put flowers on my wedding cake!!!!! So my cake didn't look right at all. Very disappointed, would NOT recommend these people at all.

Chris at the Elk Grove Location saved our wedding! After having our original florist flake out on us, my husband and I drove into Chicago from Michigan to meet with Ashland Addison in their Chicago location. Well, that consultant had a bridal emergency and had to cancel on us after we drove 5 hours to get there! Luckily, Chris saved the day and had an impromptu meeting with us that same afternoon. Chris was a delight to work with; he had great ideas, was open to absolutely anything we wanted, and we were able to get everything we wanted for $400 below our expected cost! Chris was always available by phone or email and was super flexible anytime I changed my mind or wanted something different. Our flowers were beautiful and everything we wanted. The only reason I had to take a .1 off of the final rating score was because our mom's corsages were mixed up the day of the wedding. No big deal at all, but it did happen. Overall, we HIGHLY recommend Ashland Addison in Elk Grove and would work with them again in a heartbeat.

Ashland Addison did the flowers for our ceremony and reception at Maggiano's in Chicago, and they transformed the room. The ceremony and reception looked even better than I had imagined! I worked with Martha, and she was great! We had a tight budget for flowers, but Martha worked with me and I was able to get what I wanted for the price I wanted. After this wedding, I know I will only use Ashland Addison for all my flowers in the future!

Ask for Meghan Riley. She was wonderful! Down to earth and really gets the feel that you want. I can not believe how beautiful the flowers turned out. Everything came together with the flowers and Meghan was so easy to work with. Originally I was going to use Scarlet Petal but we wound up going with Ashland Addison Florist and I am so happy we did. I highly recommend this company. Thank You!!!

Ashland Addison was the only florist that 'got' my husband and I. We wanted unusual, colorblocked arrangements that were purple and red with some black accents. A few other florists wrinkled their brows and shook their heads. One even told us that that wouldn't look right and pushed really hard for one color only bouquets - not my thing.

Our arrangements were GORGEOUS. We had 2 on either side of the aisle, on top of podiums. The also provided a black aisle runner with a purple border and red roses running up both sides. It looked dramatic and beautiful. My bouquet was so beautiful that people kept coming over and asking what kind of flowers had been used. I could not have been happier with how they turned...

Ashland Addison Florist were helpful, kind and creative from our first meeting. I went in with a variety of photos of bouquets I liked. I showed them a photo of my dress and the overall theme of the wedding and my contact immediately started pulling flowers so I could see them right away. Everything was beautiful and I received so many compliments on the bouquets. I would definitely recommend working with them.

I only used them for personal flowers so I can not attest to centerpieces or other arrangements, but I'm sure they would also be great. They were also great about working within budget. I have a couple of other florist completely disregard my budget when putting together a proposal, but Ashland Addison actually was under budget!

Flowers were a very big deal to me for my wedding on 5/27/12. I had a particular style that I was going for and every florist I met with was giving me outrageous quotes. Ashland Addison Florist was a different story from the beginning. I met with Martha and showed her exactly what I wanted and she worked within my budget to deliver! I cannot put into words how beautiful my flowers turned out to be. It truly was one of my favorite parts of my wedding and we got so many compliments. Martha made things so easy for me and again the final product was amazing! I plan on using Ashland Addison Florist for all of my events in the future!

Flowers were beautiful and they made everything so gorgeous and worked with me to get the best price for the look I wanted.

My flowers arrived on time and were beautiful. They were great in helping design the best looking boquets that were vibrant. They definitely added to my vision.

Martha and her team were very professional, attentive and flexible. The quality of the flowers were definitely noticed by our wedding guests and bridal party. The bridesmaids bouquets were amazing!! And we even received a playful boutonniere for the father of the bride! they definitely help you work within your budget while making everything elegant at the same time! Ashland and Addison florists have been doing work for the family for decades and should be the florist you use for your wedding day!

We were able to use there Elk Grove Village location and could not have asked for anything more. Working with Chris, the owner of the company and being able to create our dreams was great. We were able to see out choices to make sure we liked everything and they really exceeded our expectations on the final product.

Martha and Pedro organized our flowers and they were incredibly beautiful. I met with Martha about 7 months before the wedding and, despite the fact that I did not have much of an idea beyond wanting green to be the main color, she came up with suggestions that I immediately loved. She was also extremely flexible when it came to working within my budget and I really felt like she was working with me to make sure I did not spend unnecessarily. After visiting my venue with me in April, she made several new suggestions which worked perfectly on the day. My bouquet was particularly stunning. I could not have been more satisfied with the service she and Pedro provided and I received many compliments on the flowers from my guests.

We worked with Chris at the Elk Grove Village location. I cannot praise his work highly enough. I walked in with a vague vision and he transformed it into something amazing! He is clearly passionate about his work, and he has great instincts. Chris is very flexible and helpful; he even handled last minute changes and requests with ease. He was also respectful of my (limited) budget and didn't try to upsell me on anything.

I gave 3 stars for responsiveness because this is his only weak point. Chris is extremely busy and was not always available to respond to phone calls or emails right away. However, as we got closer to the wedding, I received more of his attention, and by the week of the wedding, I felt confident because all my questions/concerns were handled. Chris is a pleasure to work with. You can expect 110% effort from him.

Nothing but a positive review for Ashland Addison Florists! They handled my bouquets, guys flowers, etc and everything looked amazing. All of our meetings went smoothly, and Martha really knew how to put together different flowers I liked to make a gorgeous set of flowers. My flowers were delivered on time and packaged very securely so nothing was damaged before I was ready. I also had manzanita trees for the ceremony and had many compliments on how beautiful they looked. The prices were very reasonable compared to other prices in the area.

We were very pleased with our service from Ashland and Addison. I worked with Martha who showed us many options to put together exactly what we wanted. You was very understanding about our budget and helped us scale back and make changes to get what we wanted for the price we could afford (there prices were a little higher than we were looking for). My biggest fear on my wedding day was the flowers showing up, but I never even got a chance to worry, they delivered the bouquets and corsages early and set up everything in more than enough time. They were also there right away to break everything done. The flowers and arrangements were all gorgeous and exactly what I wanted. The only things I can think of that were not impressive were a few mistakes on the bill of which flowers were for what, but I emailed my concerns and they were fixed immediately. Also they said they would send me ribbon for my cake to match the ribbons on the bouquets and they never did, but it wasn't a big deal I had backup ribbon. All in all, I would highly recommend them!

I cannnot say enough good things about our florist, Ashland and Addison. We worked with Martha, and she was amazing. The flowers came out exactly the way I wanted them to! I actually cried when I saw the room because it was so beautiful. Martha was very flexible and willing to work with our budget. She was creative in ways we could save money without sacrificing the look that we wanted for the wedding. She was patient through the many changes that I made to the flowers and even arranged a nice "show and tell" meeting for me allowing me to see the way the tables would be set for our wedding. The flowers were delivered ontime for the ceremony and reception by friendly and knowledgeable staff. Overall, we were so happy with our decision to go with Ashland and Addison. We would highly reccommend them to anyone for their wedding flowers.

Beautiful, amazing flowers. Michelle was professional and answered all our questions and responded to our little tweaks without blinking an eye. They are very affordable and respectful of budgets. I loved our flowers, I just can't say enough about how happy I was with them. They also give you a sample centerpiece or bridal bouquet to test a few months before, which was helpful when we went to the venue for our tasting. Thanks Michelle!

My flowers were beautiful. Everything I hoped for and more.

They were very professional and offered great service.I was very pleased with the overall quality of the material.I would recommend this to anyone who wants a great floral arrangement at their wedding.

We worked with Martha at Ashland Addison for our table centerpieces. I went in with a basic idea of what I wanted. Martha gave me a lot of creative options and made the look all come together perfectly. The flowers were delivered and set up on time. The whole process was very easy! We got tons of compliments from our guests on how beautiful the flower arrangements looked! Definitely recommend them!

I worked with Martha and was so happy with my experience. The initial meeting was great - by meeting right at the warehouse, we didn't have to guess about what the flowers would look like as she just went and grabbed samples and put together samples right there for us. She gave us tons of options to choose from so that we could find exactly what we wanted and also stay within our budget. Throughout the process, they were very responsive as I made some small changes here and there. On the wedding day, I was so pleased - the flowers were delivered on time with no problem and were absolutely beautiful - better than I even imagined they would be. It was exactly what I wanted, even if I wouldn't have been able to express in words what it was I did want. They did a phenomenal job - I'd recommend them to anybody.

Ashland Addison was one of my favorite vendors. Martha and Jessica were very patient with me & wanted to take the time to make it perfect- and it was! The flowers were one of my favorite parts of the day- the bouquets looked really full and everyone said how pretty the flowers were. I liked that they let me bring in my own vases to help with the cost (flowers are expensive- it's just a fact!!) and they give an itemized price list. I felt very comfortable with them and would definitely recommend to other brides.

We went to Ashland Addison in Elk Grove and had a great time working with Chris on our flowers. He has amazing vision and created not only great centerpieces, but I was absolutely in love with my bouquet and the bridesmaids bouquets. He delivered everything early, so there was no stress and everything turned out perfectly. I can't wait to find another reason to work with them! Outstanding customer service and reasonably priced. You won't be disappointed!

The flowers were delivered to the church on time and they were beautiful!!

Martha at Ashland Addison was fabulous to work with. We only needed bridal party flowers because we did not do floral centerpieces and so I found it slightly more difficult to find a florist that would work with our small budget. Marth was totally open to our budget and both helpful and pleasant. She had great suggestions and our flowers arrived looking beautiful and on time.

They were able to take me order on a 3 week notice! And everything turned out wonderful!

Martha and crew at Ashland Addison were wonderful. The flowers the day of were gorgeous, all communication was timely and accurate, the cost was reasonable. They are our favorite florist here in Chicago, but we were unsure if they would be able to do the flowers for our wedding about an hour north of the city - it was no problem! My bouquet of red roses was gorgeous, and my only complaint was that they did not seem to use the same kind of rose for my husbands bout - it was pretty small and plain, about half the size of one in my bouquet.

Truly exceptional! We worked with Martha and her assistant Jessica and they were absolutely phenomenal. Friendly, helpful, flexible, prompt, and knowledgeable. We literally changed our entire contract a few weeks before the wedding and they were know than helpful and understanding! The bouquets and arrangements were gorgeous - they were exactly what I imagined. Everything was delivered and set up on time too. I would highly recommend this company. Some of the rental items are pricey but if you find those elsewhere and stick with the flowers you'll be very pleased!

Ashland Addison made flowers so easy. Martha immediated understood our vision and came up with very creative ideas. There was no hassle or fuss. The flowers showed up the day of and were simply amazing - more beautiful than I imagined.

The quality of the flowers were exceptional and they worked within my budget. On the wedding day, everything was arrived just as we ordered and planned. They were always quick to respond. I highly recommend!

Ashland Addison Florist were very accommodating with my budget. They were polite, courteous and provided outstanding customer service. The flowers were beautiful and received several wonderful comments.

I went to the Ashland Addison Florist in Elk Grove Village right next door to Jarosch Bakery. I walked right in with a picture of the flowers I want decorated on my cake table and on the cake and the VP knew exactly what I wanted, showed me what he had and got my name and number and delivery date and told me not to worry he knew exactly what to do and worked with Jarosch on setting the flowers on the cake. He did not really go with the picture I gave him, he went above and beyond the picture and created an incredible display far better than any magazine picture of a wedding cake.

I walked in and walked out in 5 minutes. Fastest vendor booking ever. You are in good hands with this company.

They also did our corsages for the Mothers of the wedding party and they were stunning and so fresh and beautifully put together.

Flawless. She executed what I asked perfectly with very little direction from me. I only ordered the wheat grass centerpieces, my bouquet and Phil’s boutonniere from her so it really was not that much and there was no pressure from her at all to spend more. She was very helpful and I changed things on her a couple times.

I cannot say enough about Martha and Ashland Addison Florist. These people are incredible! I was most looking forward to the flowers in my wedding and they did NOT disappoint. My mom and I met with Martha in March and she was full of ideas already. The minute I showed her my colors, she left and grabbed a handful of different flowers and combinations she thought would work best. I think we agreed with every single recommendation she gave us.

She was very helpful through the next few months. My order changed slightly every so often and she always responded super quickly and sent over a new quote each and every time - even if it was just a couple dollars different.

The moment the flowers arrived at my parents house I was just amazed - they were more gorgeous than I had even thought possible. And that was just the beginning. The flowers at the church were striking and I am STILL hearing comments and compliments about the flowers at the reception. Everything was just PERFECT and beautiful.

I will recommend Ash-Add to anyone and hope to use them in the future.

We told Ashland Addison our budget and they were the first ones to come in under. They provided great service and offered options that made our wedding more beautiful.

Truly a great florist.

All the bouquets were so well put together! The delicate flowers added a fairytale-like effect to our wedding. I am not much of a flower expert, but I am sure that they were of the highest quality and smelled very nice. Although they were relatively expensive, I still chose this company because of their great service. The women at the front desk offered their help and seemed to be concerned about our wedding. Their friendly demeanor meant a lot to the both of us and I would definitely recommend this company to anyone in need of flower and decor services.

We loved the way our flowers turned out. Very nice and economical!

Cute little flower arrangements were made for our wedding!

We went a little modern for our floral arrangements and they were very accommodating---the staff was incredibly friendly and very easy to work with. I still have some of my flowers preserved!!

Absolutely loved the decor Ashland Addison created for a wedding this April: Clouds of baby's breath in tall enamel vases juxtaposed with petite arrangements of varied white floral atop a mix of square and round tables on mix and match navy linen. Plus the personal flowers were outstanding, as well! Meghan was easy to work with and totally aligned with what the bride wanted. Hope to work together again soon!

I have had the pleasure of working with Ashland Addison Florist on many occasions! I always know that my brides will receive excellent service and beautiful florals :) They do such amazing work and they always seem to capture the heartbeat of my clients visions. You absolutely can not go wrong with Ashland Addison Florists
