    Most incredible wedding flowers!!

    Carleen and her team were OUTSTANDING to work with!! From bouquets, to church flowers, to center pieces, to boutonnieres, Carleen made our vision come to life with our wedding colors and flower preferences and we could not be happier that we chose them to do our wedding flowers!

    Countryside Flower Shop's reply:

    Thank you for the great review Lexie! I passed this on to Carleen and as she said, "Aww, It was my pleasure! I love when we have the nicest brides to work with." Congratulations to you both!

    Such beautiful arrangements!

    Countryside was very responsive throughout our planing process. We had our first meeting with Chris in the Spring when they wouldn't have the flowers they would have available for our November wedding. We gave them creative flexibility and they absolutely delivered on our wedding vision! Chris even delivered the flowers personally on our wedding day. My bouquet was stunning! I highly recommend!

    Christina,
    Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are thrilled that everything was as you wished! Congratulations to you and Dylan! Best wishes!

    Flowers were perfect

    The flowers were beautiful and exactly like the pictures I showed them of what we were looking for. They even incorporated fairy lights into the centerpieces which I wanted.

    Hi, Kristin!
    Thank you so much for writing a great review for us and congratulations! We truly enjoyed working with you and are happy that we got to be a part of such a special day in your lives!
    Thanks again,

    I would definitely recommend Countryside for weddings or any event! I spent almost 2 hours with Jennifer picking out everything! I felt like I went a little overboard and was out of my budget range but was pleasantly surprised when the numbers fit perfectly! I am so excited to see how everything comes together on my wedding day

    Countryside did a wonderful job making our wedding in McHenry, IL beautiful. Jennifer Hunt was our contact person, and was so professional. I was planning my own out-of-state wedding while in nursing school, and she understood how busy I was. She reached out to family members that live in the area to present flower arrangement option. We ended up renting their black, wrought iron altar, with floral décor, for the ceremony. Countryside took care of setup, breakdown, and working with the venue on delivery and cleanup. Jennifer hand-delivered our bouquets and boutonnieres to the hotel during hair and makeup madness. I was very impressed with their service.

    Countryside was absolutely wonderful to work with. Jennifer was so helpful and friendly and talked me through things when I wasn't sure on decisions. I walked in to Countryside with an idea of what I wanted and Jennifer sat with me and helped me make my color selections and helped me come up with some ideas of things that I hadn't thought about. On the day of the wedding they delivered flowers to my home, the church, and the reception site, set everything up, and made sure everything looked fantastic. I was so impressed by their professionalism and their prices were great too. I would use them again in the future. The flowers were of great quality and lasted for almost a week after my wedding day.

    Jennifer was amazing through the entire process. She was very patient with all the emails changing minds and giving other options. My family has used Countryside for a long time and have never been disappointed. The flowers looked amazing and I have gotten so many compliments on how different they were. A big thank you to everyone at Countryside!

    They did an amazing job on my bouquet. They even had a vendor that makes the flowers into jewelry which I highly recommend. My bouquet last weeks after the wedding.

    Awesome and beautiful flowers. They were really great at keeping you on your budget but giving you the beautiful flowers you want. They even came and stayed to make sure everyone received their flowers but also moved our arrangement from the ceremony site to the reception site. There was a moment where my mom did not have her flowers five minutes before the ceremony and who does she ask of all people me. The matter was resolved and the woman from Countryside even came up to me to make sure everything was great before they left. We even have some dried flowers in our place :) They held up well!

    Megan was great to work with. She had great ideas and was able to take all my half thoughts and my "I like this, that, and the other thing" and bring it all together into something that flowed well and was unusual. She was very flexible and easy to work with.

    I just want to say that Countryside did a fantastic job. I worked with many people at Countryside and each and every one of them was outstanding! They were so accommodating and they worked hard to put together what I pictured in my mind. Honestly, they looked even better. We chose to do potted plants on the tables for our outdoor reception. Not only did we choose the annuals, they planted them in the containers we wanted them in weeks before the wedding and let them grow. They were perfect. The hydrangea bushes we ordered were beautiful and they look fantastic now, plus we can plant them at our house as a keepsake of the wedding. As for the bouquets and and other flowers, they were so fresh and perfect. I would highly recommend Countryside.

    Jennifer was wonderful! We paid extra for delivery for an hour. she stayed an extra hour to tend to an upset flower girl who would not put on her dress. She never charged us for the extra hour.

    I was a little unsure about using Countryside at first because their album of wedding done is very out of date. The price was right though and it turned out great. The flowers were gorgeous - more beautiful than I had imagined they would be. They were very flexible too, letting me change the plan right up to the last minute. It was a great that they were a nursery because they were able to plant flower pots for our centerpieces and during the planning session we walked around the nursery and chose the types of flowers I wanted. Easy to work with and beautiful result!

    Countryside was easy to work with and did an amazing job with the bouquets. Everyone continued to complicate the flowers and the bouquets even after our wedding. Would definitely recommend them.

    I cannot thank Countryside Flower shop enough for all the great work they did for our wedding! We had a lot of requests, and they did an amazing job pulling it all together, setting up, and tearing down and moving around flowers to fit our budget. I appreciate all the help that was put into the work they did for us so I had one less worry. I continue to get compliments on the arrangements they did for us, and I would highly recommend Countryside to any bride looking for flowers as they'll work closely with you on your budget and making everything go smoothly and beautifully!

    I went with Countryside because I got coupons at a bridal show and they had cheaper boquet then another place I was looking at. Jennifer worked with us and was great and selecting blooms and got our ideas right away. We LOVED our flowers they were amazing!

    Our issue came down to communication. It was really hard to get ahold of her and calling was always a big issue because she would not get back to me for a few days. We played phone tag alot. She was flexible when I had to increase my table size 3 weeks before! She was curtious it was just hard to get her during the day and she was always gone by 4pm which is hard when you work till at least 5.

    Great flowers and they were prettier then I imagined and besides the communication issues they were very professional and nice.

    The wonderful thing about this florist is that they were one of the only flower shops that were quick to respond and made time for me as a customer. I felt like a customer who mattered. The bouquets, altar arrangements, and centerpieces were nicely arranged. However, there eneded up being a really big issue with the bouquets. The most frustrating part was that 10 minutes before I was going to walk down the aisle I pulled my bouquet out of the cardboard box holder and discover there was no ribbon and it was just a plastic tube underneath the bouquet. It was clearly unfinished as I had requested ribbon and it looked really bad. My bouquet as well as the bridesmaids bouquets were like this. Also, our flowers seemed to wilt pretty quickly and were getting dark on the edges shortly after the ceremony. I will acknowledge that we got married on August 1st and it was 85 degrees, but we were mostly in the air conditioning. Basically, wonderful staff to work with and great arrangements, but clearly some issues with double checking and making sure things are complete and not sure about the quality of the flowers or if they were prepared too much ahead of time where they didn't last as long as I would imagine.
