Flowers & Gifts

I received an arrangement for my birthday. The flowers were shoved in the vase and not arranged in a nice way at all. After only 3 days the flowers are already dying, even though I changed the water every day. When I rearranged the flowers and cut the dying stems on the 3^rd day, I realized that there was mostly filler in the bouquet. After my husband found out that my mother in law paid over $ 30 for these flowers, I thought I should leave a review. These flowers were not worth $ 30+… I would not order from this florist if I had the chance due yo my own experience.

I worked with Inger at #1 Flowers and Gifts for our wedding and reception flowers. Inger is eager to please and makes sure that she gives you the most she can and stays within your budget. She stressed to me that she knew the wholesalers and how to get the best quality flowers at the most economical pricing.
Inger is also very skilled at dealing with brides, nerves, stress, ect. She made a few suggestions to me that lowered my stress level on making decisions easier and not waiting until the end for dress colors from mother of the bride to pick out corsage flowers.
She also knows her flowers very well as I had sunflowers and she said they were fine for bouquets and centerpieces, but they wouldn’t work for guys. She had suggestions for that which worked wonderfully.
I must say, the flowers were beautiful, fresh, and vibrant.
The only thing I can suggest is that I brought painted canning jars to use as the holders for the centerpieces and I think they were in the cooler the night before because as the condensation came from the water warming up to room temperature, it caused the paint to lift off the glass when touched. Thankfully, my jars were distressed to begin with, they just became a little more distressed.
So, if you are going to use painted floral holders, use a better paint than I did or don’t put the holders in refrigeration, but transfer the flowers into it after the water comes to room temp.
Highly recommend. Reliable, accomodating, and very reasonable in pricing.

Inger was amazing! We used her shop for our wedding. She was always amazing to talk to and helped me find the perfect flowers for our budget wedding.

I used #1 Flowers and Gifts for my wedding flowers. It was such a pleasure working with Inger, especially since I know almost nothing about flowers. She asked what I liked, didn’t like, and what I thought I needed, and she came up with some great ideas that fit into my budget! She suggested adding some color to my bouquet so it would stand out and not blend in with the color of my dress, which I thought was a great idea. Everything turned out beautifully, from the bouquets to the altar pieces, and the colors matched our wedding colors very well. Flower delivery was maybe 10 minutes late on our wedding day, but it didn’t put us behind at all, so no biggie! I’d definitely recommend working with Inger!

I’d like to praise #1 Floral for doing their best to correct a couple of problems that I had with a Valentine’s Day floral arrangement ordered for me by my fiancé. Because the florist was so busy on Valentine’s Day, the delivery person didn’t attempt to deliver my arrangement until early evening, when we’d already gone out to eat. The next day, when my arrangement was delivered, part of it was forgotten. After my fiancé called them to tell them what had happened, they not only delivered the missing item, but brought me another floral arrangement, to celebrate spring! Thank you for making things right and being so nice about it, too!

I used #1 Floist for my wedding flowers and everything was great. Thanks a lot

#1 Flowers & Gifts LLC Terrific Naperville Florist! Great flowers, Awesome arrangement, Quick delivery. All around excellent experience. Thanks!

All florists are NOT the same!
We had #1 Flowers do our wedding, and couldn’t be happier in the results. The flowers were fresh and sturdy (which is important when you are a dancing machine). Everything was ontime and ran very smoothly.
We got multiple complements on our table arrangements and corsages.
I would DEFINITELY use #1 again, but hopefully, I only get married once.
