Shamrock Garden Florist Ltd.

"Shamrock Garden, specifically Linda, was absolutely INCREDIBLE. They are truly top-notch & offer so much beyond floral - structural pieces, seating charts, table numbers, candles, etc. From our first meeting, Linda was overwhelmingly kind, funny, full of ideas and open to whatever I had in mind. She was so easy to stay in touch with whenever my bride-brain was going 1,000mph in different directions or even changing color schemes. I always looked forward to seeing Linda and her team throughout this process. She coordinated everything with our downtown Chicago venue flawlessly with ZERO need to be in touch with me on the wedding day besides a big hug & congratulations. Linda and her team are truly the best. I would book them a million times over!"

"How does this sound? Getting the wrong flowers on your wedding day. I was warned about Shamrock Gardens by my planner for their “creative freedom” meaning they have a reputation to not listen to the couples and do whatever they want. After talking with Alexis from Shamrock, I felt more comfortable and decided to go with them for our wedding. I selected beautiful bright pinks for our flowers. I love color and this was very important to me. I confirmed that our flowers would be the same as our tasting arrangement several times before the wedding. The day of the wedding comes— the flowers are NOT what we paid for or envisioned. I was panicked. The colors were not pink and not bright. Then I see the large arrangements for our centerpieces and they were worse than I could have imagined. I am posting photos along with this so you can see just how DIFFERENT they are than what we were promised from our tasting sample. After the wedding, I provided immediate feedback in writing. Alexis from Shamrock admitted to being at fault— They clearly were just not going to say anything unless I had reached out. Here is the direct quote from Alexis at Shamrock. “For the taller centerpieces, we unfortunately had to opt out the green hydrangea for another flower (we used green trick, which is a green fuzzy bush like flower) due to how the hydrangea came in with brown spots when processed. We believed that the green trick would fill in as close as we could for the fullness, but understand that it is close in color with the greenery used for your centerpieces - so it could be missed.” They did not even so much as call to inform us some of our flowers came in brown. It’s not professional & it’s not okay. The colors were also WRONG. I then had to go back and forth until I reached the boss Linda, I sent her photos of what we were supposed to receive and what we got. We were supposed to have bright pinks but as you can see below— there were no pinks. Linda admitted they were not right. It was our wedding day and we can’t go back in time and get the right flowers. Do not let this company do this to you. The refund we received was one fourth of what we spent. It should have been a full refund. They were the wrong colors and flowers were substituted out without telling us. Brides, do not hire them. It’s a huge regret. They couldn’t even get the flowers on our cake right. One flower was off the cake upside down! It’s in every single photograph of our cake. The flowers are a huge part of your day, do not let this happen to you. Hire someone else."

"Thanks, Cody, for creating the stunning floral piece that was highly exalted and was the star of Bethelem on my Parkview Christmas Tea table. Your work drew admirers, brought joy, and received many comments, like spectacular and next level, and the creator intentionally made a piece that breathes Christmas Joy. The combination of Christmas greens, different flowers, and jingle bells was perfect. One woman shared her fantastic experience of professional practicality with expertise and excellent service using Shamrock for her daughter's wedding! Thank you, Cody. Your piece was a star today and made many feel the Christmas spirit!"

"I recently hired Shamrock Garden to create a floral arrangement for a funeral service. While the arrangement they provided was undoubtedly beautiful, it did not entirely align with the specific request I had made. I had emphasized my preference for predominantly white flowers with a subtle pop of pink, as I wanted to convey a sense of serenity and elegance for the occasion. To ensure clarity, I even went the extra mile and sent a picture to the florist as a visual reference. Unfortunately, the arrangement I received had more pink flowers than white, which deviated from the desired aesthetic. It was not exactly what I had envisioned. Despite this miscommunication, I must acknowledge that the arrangement itself was undeniably lovely. The flowers were fresh, vibrant, and expertly arranged, showcasing the florist's skill and attention to detail. The color combination, though not what I had hoped for, was still visually appealing. Overall, while I was slightly disappointed with the final result not aligning with my specific request, I acknowledge the florist's talent and acknowledge the effort that went into creating the arrangement. I would recommend them for their expertise and artistry, but I would strongly suggest providing crystal-clear instructions to ensure your vision is met precisely."

"Working with Shamrock for our wedding was an amazing experience. Alexa was attentive, responsive to my questions, and enthusiastic about my flower/décor vision. By the time our wedding day arrived, I was absolutely blown away by the beauty of not only my bouquet but the bouquets of my bridesmaids, the table arrangements, our arch, and all else in between. Alexa and her team did an incredible job setting up our table arrangements in exactly the way we had originally planned, and I could not stop looking at them and admiring how gorgeous they looked. (To such a degree that I personally forgot to take pictures myself, so I've been scavenging all my friends' and family's photos seeing if they did!) I also want to mention that my mother-in-law worked with Shamrock to order flower arrangements for our rehearsal dinner, and they were absolutely beautiful. I could not recommend Shamrock enough for their professionalism, gorgeous flowers, and wonderful attention to detail. We loved Shamrock for our wedding day!"
