LW Direct Floral Importers

I couldn’t be any more thrilled with LW flowers! LW flowers provided the flowers for my friend’s bridal shower.
Larry’s style is very city-​chic and so tasteful! After speaking with him
I immediately felt comfortable with him and could tell he understood my «vision» (even though my description of what I was looking for was vague and I knew nothing about flowers). He was incredibly accommodating, I called him Friday afternoon and he had my flowers ready for me Saturday morning! It really doesn’t get more prompt then that! He was also fantastic about working within our budget, which was great.
The centerpieces turned out beautiful! The pictures speak for themselves. I would absolutely, 100% recommend Larry to anyone looking to work with a professional and extremely talented florist. I promise you won’t be disappointed!!!

Used lwdirect for my daughter’s wedding, excellent quality on all the flowers we purchased. The hydrangeas were huge. The roses, orchids and hydrangeas are still alive five days after the wedding! Larry was wonderful and provided us with many helpful suggestions. We purchased 550 roses, 120 orchids and 160 hydrangea, lisianthus plus greenery.
We lost 1 hydrangea, can’t do better than that! We made 20 centerpieces plus 6 bouquets, all turned out perfect! Definitely will purchase from Larry again. Our arrangements looked better than those made by pros.

I needed 3 dozen pink garden roses for my daughter’s wedding reception décor. Larry worked very hard to find me the very best variety and absolutely came through! The Princess Charlene roses were beyond my wildest expectations — truly gorgeous flowers that smelled divine. I couldn’t have been more pleased!

I’m a succulent/​cactus hobbyist, and have been looking for a wholesale place that is open to the public (no tax id required). On my way to another shop, I saw their sign and decided to check it out.
After explaining my goal (slowly turn my hobby into a business), Larry provided me with a number of resources that I was completely unaware of. Not only that, but he was genuinely enthusiastic about answering all of my questions, and gave me great advice.
Between the prices (more than 40% cheaper than retail stores I’ve been to), his expertise/​knowledge, his access to distributors, and his customer service, I definitely will be coming back.

Larry was great and very informative. Took his time in knowing what I wanted and created an awesome arrangement. Friendly and great customer service why go anywhere else. Will purchase from Larry again.

I was randomly looking up wholesale flower markets on Unilocal to get ideas for my wedding that’s not until 2016. LW Direct Floral Importers popped up on the list and since I was in the area, I drove on over. The owner Larry and his wife, Jessica, could not have been nicer. I explained that I wasn’t sure what I was looking for exactly, but that I was looking to obtain flowers to make bouquets for my wedding in Michigan. Larry listened and took the time to ask me questions to better understand what I wanted. He also looked at all my Pinterest pics with enthusiasm and even showed me how we could create a similar bouquet that would be more suited to my needs. Both he and Jessica went above and beyond and seemed genuinely glad that I was there. Larry wrote down the names of the flowers I liked so When I return next year, I’ll know exactly what to order. The experience was so great and personable that I felt like I should have asked them to go for drinks or something! I’m super excited to work with them next summer!

Larry helped me out with flowers that I did a few weeks ago for some friends of mine who were getting married. I had sourced a couple flowers locally (it was peony season!) but needed some more flowers and had read good things about LW.
I’m a bit of a beginner, which I told Larry straight away. I had the bride’s bouquet and 28 centetpieces (there was no wedding party), so I had my work cut out for me. He was patient with me as I decided on certain flowers, was helpful in figuring out the amount I would need of each type, and was understanding of my budget. It was a really comfortable process from start to finish.
The centerpieces ended up turning out beautiful, as did the bride’s bouquet! I was thrilled with the outcome and still find myself staring at pictures of my own creations in disbelief that I actually created them. None of this would have been possible without Larry!

Such a great experience with Larry! With no experience or practice, I decided to do all of the flowers for my wedding in Chicago, and after many days of scouting around the city, LW Direct was the only wholesaler I found who would sell to me. Joanna spent a long time walking me through the inventory they had at the time, and Larry spent several long phone calls going over what was in season, color availability, and flower care. I picked up the flowers three days before the wedding, and Larry let me go through what he had in stock to pick out a few additional things that day. One thing came in late, and he personally delivered them to my house… and then helped trim the flowers! Everything was in beautiful condition, just as ordered, and I was shocked how well they held up. My bouquet was made of anemones and hydrangeas — super delicate — but they looked just as beautiful the week after the wedding! Great, great service!

I love going to LW Imports. The nicest people work there and the flowers are absolutely beautiful at an amazing price. It so close to Streeterville and it’s so much fun to go choose flowers from their beautiful selection.

Came across this place through Google search, and am I glad I did! I had already called a few other places, some which were closer to me, but the service over the phone I received from Larry stood out from the others. Although it was a bit of a drive for me, I decided to give it a try. As soon as you walk in, you feel the good vibes. Larry was very friendly, professional, and I couldn’t have received better service. My purchase was even carried to my truck by an employee. Received great prices, great flowers, and great service; therefore deserves a great 5 stars!
Thank you!

I had such a great experience with Larry. I wanted to do simple inexpensive arrangements at home, and after emailing him a simple mock up of flowers from Jewel, he helped me find comparable colors and textures that were more exciting and easy to work with — all without breaking my budget. He had everything I need the next day, which is pretty urgent. I’m very appreciative! My best friend’s wedding center pieces turned out great. It has been a week, and the people who took them home said they are still going strong, and beautiful!

Thank you Larry for the wonderful flowers. I found LW Direct online because I was searching for a specific flower (proteas) for our wedding. Being a wholesaler, didn’t stop Larry from helping us (two DIY’ers) with advice and consultation. This guy knows his flowers! We ended up purchasing vases and flowers from here. It was tough sometimes getting him on the phone but we are very happy with the outcome.

They have a pretty good selection of flowers and kept fresh. Larry was very helpful and nice to us. We purchased about $ 120 of flowers for wedding bouquets and we got 4 dozens of roses, 4 dozens of carnations, baby’s breath, and some other flowers.

Friendly folks with great selection, prices ridiculously cheap as compared to your local florist, yet they are happy to offer suggestions, pairings, etc. They also have great coffee! Would definitely check this place out if you’re looking for affordable, high quality flowers.

This review is about a month overdue, but I am still enjoying my flowers! Seriously, one month out and these little guys are hanging tough. My mission, to put together 6 arrangements for a work function on a limited budget.
I popped into LW Direct and was quickly greeted by Larry, the store owner. Everyone I encountered was super friendly. I explained my situation and Larry told me they would be more than happy to help me put something beautiful together. He walked me back into the cooler and explained the pricing and how everything is set up. I was given time to go through the cooler on my own to explore the various options and pull out those I was interested in. Larry came back to check on me and when asked provided his advice. I took several pictures of the two arrangements we created and told him I would be back after consulting my boss.
I came back later that day, now knowing my choice. I brought one of the vases I was going to use for each of the arrangements and Larry helped me get the height for the arrangement just right. My total for all 6 arrangements was less than what I would have paid for one arrangement at any other florist! I was helped out to my car and on my way with my beautiful flowers. The flowers were a huge hit at the party and continue to be in my house. I will certainly be returning to LW Direct Floral Importers for any and all future flowers.

I came into this location a while ago and they were very professional in giving me exactly what I ordered. The whole sale flower market has an extensive variety to chose from. The owner was willing to work with any requests I had and his assistant knew exactly what kind of floral needs I was looking for. Every selection I had to chose from was fresh and of high quality.
I will definitely return and highly recommend this location for all floral needs.
Definitely two thumbs up for them. Thankfully, they are FINALLY open to the public! Kudos!
