All Flowers by Marisa

Called in a few days before Valentines Day to surprise my fiancé. The girl on the phone was very helpful and put together a great arrangement based on the info I gave her. Would have been 5 stars but I had to call on the day of the delivery to remind them as the flowers hadn’t been delivered 30 minute before the deadline.

Wonderful staff and also very helpful! The Hot Princess flowers are just amazing! We’ll be returning soon

Marisa and her team did all of the flowers for my wedding. Marisa worked with me to come up with beautiful ideas and offered great suggestions to create the look I was looking for. They were stunning. If you want a beautiful, huge, show stopping wedding bouquet, get your flowers from Marisa!

woohoo! as good as it gets!
love marisa and her amazing floral artistry! beautiful job on my sons wedding.

Took a flower arranging class with Marisa and thoroughly enjoyed it. Plus I came home with a lovely arrangement that I made all by myself!

This lovely flower shop is by far my very favorite place to shop for flowers all year round. .Marisa is just a sweetheart & her staff are so friendly & helpful, I also feel her prices cannot be matched anywhere near by .
Stop in to visit & see for yourself …

The worst place ever! The owner and her staff have no customer service skills, I used this place for my wedding and it was a DISASTER! My flowers (the bride), bridesmaids and flowers girls flowers were falling out of the bouquet complete disaster! So disappointed especially when you pay quite a lot for flowers for your wedding and they end up turning out so bad and fall out REALLY! The girl comes to drop off the flowers on my wedding day and doesn’t even come see me or anything she just leaves very unprofessional…

I cannot begin to express how picture perfect my wedding flowers turned out!!! Marisa and her staff of lovely ladies did an unbelievable job of turning my Winter White Wedding vision into a stunning reality!!! From the larger-​than-​life bouquets to the jeweled centerpieces, to the crystal candle holders loaned to me free of charge (and everything in between), my expectations were FAR exceeded!
With only a 5 month engagement and spending under $ 2,000, I got all my personals (17 corsages, 7 boutonnieres, and 3 bouquets), a Head Table table scape of petals and fresh eucalyptus, and 16 table centerpieces in three distinct looks!!!
It was the MOST beautiful wedding I had ever, in my life, seen… and it was MINE!!!
Marisa is a strong personality who takes such pride in her art and I Commend her for it! Thank you a thousand times for creating what I had always envisioned!!!
–Amy (& Mark)

Words cannot express how gorgeous my wedding flowers turned out thanks to Marisa and her staff. The flowers were one of the elements that were most complimented on at my wedding on October 12, 2013. Even I was stunned when I saw my bouquet and when I walked into the reception hall. My mother was almost brought to tears upon seeing the flowers. My husband, who is very frugal and was hesitant about spending $ 2,200 on flowers, was awestruck by the floral elements. Not only did he comment on how beautiful the flowers were at the wedding, but after seeing the teasers of our professional photos, he kept saying, «Your bouquet was so awesome.»
This is why I am absolutely baffled by any negative reviews Marisa has received. She came highly recommended to me by several Chicago suburb brides, and after my wedding, I know why. Marisa is an artist, and if you provide her with clear direction on what you want, she will not only deliver, she will go above and beyond. She is a no-​nonsense type of lady – if you want something that is going to be expensive, she will tell you. But she will also work with you to try to create your dream bouquets and centerpieces for a price that is reasonable to you. When I told her the original quote she provided was too high, she worked with me to get it to where my dream flowers fit my budget by providing suggestions for alternate flowers and textures we could use to recreate my dream image. She created bouquets, boutonnieres, nosegays, corsages, an arbor, a hairpiece, tall centerpieces, and short centerpieces for my wedding. I have posted a photo that features my bouquet, and I will be sure to post the pictures of my reception hall as soon as I get the rest back from my photographer. UPDATE: I have posted 14 total photos of Marisa’s pieces that were part of my wedding.
At my consultation, I looked through many of Marisa’s photo books, and I was very impressed with her work. Of course, everyone thinks their wedding is the best, but I truly believe some of Marisa’s best work was done at my fall wedding! I am eternally grateful to her for taking such interest in me and my vision to create such gorgeous flowers. From one Italian to another, grazie, Marisa! You truly made my dreams come true.

Went into the flower show not expecting anything and left with more than I imagined. Marisa was thoughtful and kind and really walked me through the process of choosing my flowers for my bridesmaids and the bridal bouquet.

Marisa is incredible. She did all the floral for my 9−28−13 wedding and transformed my haphazard lackluster Pinterest boards into an amazing floral work of art. All my guests were blown away. The bouquets had some of the largest and most beautiful roses I’ve ever seen in my life. I will remember my bridal bouquet of all white roses with crystals in the center forever. The centerpieces using pumpkins and lanterns were so creative and truly made our reception come to life. Marisa was so accommodating and easily added an over the top altar arrangement for our ceremony at the last minute that was truly breathtaking. Please ignore the other reviews here, Marisa is an absolute sweetheart, so easy to work with, a floral genius and worth every penny!

I am an event and wedding planner and I used Marissa for a client wedding this week. As a very detailed person, I provided Marisa and her team with a color scheme and several photos of types of floral the bride and I liked. I also provided her with photos of my venue so she could envision what would look good in the space. I had a tight budget for what I wanted, and she and her staff did an amazing job. The flowers were gorgeous.
Nothing fell apart or wilted. And it was 95 degrees out.
I found Marisa easy to work with and straight and to the point (like me). I have seen work she has done in the past as well and will continue to use her when I get the chance.
Thank you, All Flowers!

Wow, wow, wow! Thank you Marisa and staff for my wedding flowers– truly beautiful. We were married a few weeks ago at Carnivale in Chicago, where both the ceremony and reception took place. Marisa nailed my color and style scheme throughout the location, making it event more vibrant than it already is! We received numerous compliments from both our guests and the venue’s management throughout the day– people kept saying that they’ve never seen such beautiful flowers…
In addition to my wedding, Marisa has been the wedding florist for a few of my friends who loved working with her– I highly recommend her shop and will use her for my future floral needs.

We used All Flowers by Marisa for our wedding. I would not use them again. The centerpieces were nothing like we described to her, they were ugly and cheap. Also, she overcharged us for what we received, including a so called 10% service charge on the total bill the week before the wedding, which was never discussed to us prior to booking. The bouquets and boutonnieres were done very well and receive 5 stars, but it’s just not fair that this vendor wants all the payment upfront when they can turn around and give you whatever they want. Never again.

I stopped in here to check out flowers for my wedding. The owner greeted me after I stood there for a few minutes even though she saw me she kept on with her conversation. So I asked about flowers and told her I’d be getting married within the next few weeks and just wanted ideas. She got very close to me and kept telling me how beautiful I was. Later she told me she couldn’t get over how attractive I am. which kind of freaked me out a little bit but I looked through her books anyway.
Then she hands me a sheet with flower prices and let me tell you, NO WAY! I wanted to laugh because I thought it was a bad joke. but no, they wanted $ 300 for a bridal bouquet of white roses and a few extra purple flowers. Such a rip off! I was disturbed by the way that she looked at me and spoke to me. When I asked if the prices were correct she got really defensive and said she didn’t charge for her labor she only charged the price of the flowers… Weird.
I went to Jewel in Wheaton for flowers and got all of my wedding flowers (which were just as BEAUTIFUL) for about the price of one bouquet with this place.
Oh and I forgot to mention she wants months and months of notice and an insane deposit of like $ 500 or something. I’m not cheap, but there’s no way you can justify these prices. Theyr’e taking advantage of people.
AND just to be clear there were no customers there so the owner comment is ridiculous you were not there do not comment or try reason with me! You are so defensive, and unprofessional — so I must have struck a nerve and you know my comments have some reasoning behind them!!! AND to filter my review? People can see through that! My advice is get your act together then you don’t have to worry about bad reviews because you clearly have several for a reason!!!

I got married on 10−22−11 and Marisa and her staff including Gisele were amazing.
I didn’t really know what I wanted for a fall wedding and didn’t really have a set vision but Marisa and Gisele guided me through the whole process and exceeded my expectations. They had so many pictures and ideas which overwhelmed me at first, but they easily got to the point and helped me figure out what I wanted. We received lots of compliments on our centerpieces (white pumpkins with branches and orange lilies).
Everything was delivered and set up on time.
Prices are very fair and she stayed within my budget. Very friendly non– intimidating service.

I used All Flowers by Marissa for my wedding. They were attentive and respectful of my wishes. Marissa actually works with you herself.
Their prices were extremely reasonable and they worked hard to save me money. The flowers were stunning — I couldn’t take my eyes off them all night. I would definitely recommend them.

I simply cannot express how impressed I am with All Flowers By Marisa! Marisa and Giselle arranged my flowers for my June 2011 wedding at the Zhou B art center.
I walked in to my consultation appointment with Marisa thinking of a flower I had occasionally spotted on the knot. I brought in a picture, and Marisa immediately knew what I wanted. I had been oogling over vibrantly blue and purple «hand died orchids from holland». I thought to myself that these flower were probably way out of my small budget, but was quickly assured that it would be possible to use them.
Through talking with me for a few minutes, Marisa was able to figure out what sort of a tone I was looking for in my floral arrangements. Her creative genius created a more beautiful ceremony and reception than I could have ever imagined. She formed some of the most beautiful, unique and flowing bouquets I have ever seen, and was truly able to create a look that complemented my wedding colors and style. She went above and beyond and was willing to set up our ceremony site with colored fabric and bows we had provided. I did not give her specific instructions on how to place everything, and instead trusted that she would create a nice look at my ceremony. When I stepped down the Isle and saw the lush floral arrangements on our arbor and beautifully placed fabric, I was amazed at the work she, and her assistant had done.
After the ceremony, Marisa offered to move our wedding arbor indoors for the reception, and tactfully placed this arbor behind the head table. She constantly went above and beyond my expectations!
The wedding cake we ordered was a plain, white cake. Before the wedding, we asked her to place a few flowers throughout the cake and to create a floral cake topper. When I saw the cake at the wedding, she had created a beautiful and lush cascade of flowers down the entirety of it, which transformed a plain-​looking white cake into something exquisite!
Our center pieces at the reception were also amazing, and were done for an incredibly low price.
Simply put, All Flowers By Marisa is an incredibly affordable, creative, and amazing wedding floral team!

I can’t possibly thank Marisa and Dody enough for creating absolutely beautiful bouquets and boutonnieres for my wedding!
They both took the time to understand my vision for the wedding and my inspiration. Marisa personally sat down and provided insight into flowers that were in-​season and might work well for my bouquet. While I didn’t know exactly what they would look like until the day-​of, I was SO extremely pleased with the results! Everyone couldn’t stop asking where I came up with the concept for our flowers and I seriously couldn’t take the credit for the amazing results!
Living in the city there are so many accredited florists, but All Flowers by Marisa really is the most reasonable and with staff that is not only personal, but actually cares that you’re ecstatic with the final results.

Marisa and her staff are wonderful people. They are not only extremely friendly and helpful, they are gifted artists with flowers.
Marisa did our wedding flowers, specially purchasing the bowls in which I wanted them submerged, experimenting with how to best submerge them. The resulting huge bowls of roses for our centerpieces looked staggeringly opulent yet tastefully simple. Just what I’d wanted. There was no detail missed, from a surprise butterfly on my bouquet to the perfectly put-​together corsages and boutonnieres. It was all absolutely perfect.
The flowers were so fresh and strong. We picked up the arrangements from the reception venue 2 days later and took more than half of them to a hospital for visitors to take to patients. We saved one for ourselves, and it was only a bit fuzzy, but still alive under the water, when we returned from our honeymoon over a week later.
Bottom line: Go to Marisa. If she’s available for your event, you’re extremely lucky!
