Mary from Flowers by Color was just amazing to work with. She was recommended to me by a friend who used her services for her wedding. She listened to my ideas and helped me form my vision for the flowers based on photos I showed her. My bouquet had a very vintage-esque feel to it, which is just what I wanted. The bridesmaids bouquets were great and the moms all loved their corsages on faux-pearl bracelets. Everything was delivered in it's own box and kept fresh. The centerpieces were simple yet elegant and I'm so happy with everything. The price was very reasonable and included set-up and delivery. Mary also incorporated some fabric from my dress into my bouquet wrap, as I made my own dress, and it looked great. I would definitely recommend Flowers by Color to any bride!

I had a smaller, intimate wedding. I didn't have to look through books or samples of anything. I showed Mary a picture of my dress and told her where the reception was going to be and she did everything based on that. My flowers, the corsages, centerpieces, were absolutely breathtaking and I was speechless when I saw her work. I received compliments from everyone and my guests were able to take home a centerpiece! I couldn't have been happier.

Mary is amazing. She was able to produce exactly what I had envisioned for floral arrangements. Half of our reception tables included her dark manzanita branches with purple hydrangeas and hanging votive candles. The other half had shorter cylinder centerpieces filled with different shades of purple flowers to accent the black and white theme we had throughout the wedding. She also was able to incorporate our custom-made monogram on each centerpiece. The centerpieces alternating heights and candle lighting created a simple, yet beautiful ambience. My guests made many compliments on the centerpieces on how unique and elegant the floral arrangements were.
The best part of working with Mary was that she understood our mission to reduce as much waste as possible that the wedding industry can easily create. By renting her manzanita branches and glassware, we knew we were using items that can be reused for future weddings. She also used flowers that were in season and most grown locally so that we would not use flowers that were flown in from all over the world.
Mary was quick to respond to any questions or concerns that I had and was very friendly, timely and professional. If a change was needed to the proposal, she was flexible. I don't know how many times I changed my mind about little details throughout the last 8 months (sorry, Mary!), but she noted everything and executed everything perfectly.
She even created the floral centerpieces at the wedding shower my MIL hosted for my husband and me, which were beautiful. Flowers By Color Chicago's service is definitely worth every penny. If I could give her 10 stars, I would!

Mary did an awesome job with the flowers for my wedding. Her suggestions were great. I love flowers and Mary found a way to add my favorite flowers in a way that made them pop in the pictures. The flowers looked modern and vibrant. Her prices are very reasonable. Color pins the flowers for everyone, helps the bridal party line up, and sets up the flowers for the reception also. I highly recommend Flowers by Color.

Mary met with my fiance and I to ask questions and discuss the details of the wedding. She used our wishes and details to create a plan for the flowers and how they would add to the "look" of our wedding. After we met with Mary, my fiance commented on how she really seemed to care about our wedding. We both knew that she was the florist for us. We had a large bridal party and Mary made sure that each person was noted. The mothers' wrist corsages were personalized according to their dress colors, the bridesmaids bouquets included a button regarding our theme, and my bride bouquet included a picture locket from my grandparents' wedding. The boutonnieres were awesome. She made our pew cones for the church and brought the runner! The price was affordable and she emails to make sure the details are perfect. She is professional as well as personable. She is the best choice for a wedding florist! Our wedding looked amazing because of her!

Mary at Flowers by Color is amazing. My flowers and centerpieces were absolutely gorgeous. Mary was always available and was the only florist that I met with who immediately saw my vision, and I trusted her to carry out that vision with her own expertise. I am one picky bride when it comes to aesthetics, and I would recommend Mary to anyone.

Mary with Flowers by Color was a true pleasure to work with. She came highly recommended through multiple friends in the Chicagoland area.
Flowers by Color worked within our wedding budget, while still including all of the high end details we were looking for.
To describe our flowers, centerpieces and cake topper in one word we would have to say "GLAMOROUS"!!!
Mary is a true artisit, and it was an honor to have her creative work at our wedding!!

It was a pleasure working with Mary from Flowers by Color, from the first meeting she was very professional and had a clear understanding of what my vision was for my wedding day.In addition she communicated with me every step of the way. My husband and I interviewed several vendors, and were confident we made the right choice with Flowers by Color. Mary went above and beyond what her duties were. She made the whole process very easy and smooth during a very hectic time. I would recommed the Mary and Flowers by Color to all of my friends and family.

My husband and I were out of state while planning our wedding, Mary was amazing to work with. She made sure things we didn't think about were covered, and even provided examples and suggestions to make deciding easier. The flowers were amazing [I received compliments all night on our bouquets] and her attention to detail made it even more catered to our day. I have her number ready for when someone I know is a Bride to Be!
~Thank you for making our wedding day beautiful Mary!
With love,

We loved working with Mary and her team, our decor and flowers came out so beautiful! When I approached her last minute about adding something to my bouquet she not only honored my request but did so without complaining or adding to the cost. Our ceremony and reception was beautiful, everyone was raving about it and the flowers stayed so fresh- they even lasted to our bar-b-que the next day and for the week following!
