The personal florals (bouquets, boutonnières, and corsages) that Zenia created for our wedding this past weekend were downright stunning and one of the elements of our wedding that gave me the most joy. I would say Zenia "read my mind," but I think it would actually be more accurate to say she listened incredibly closely to what I wanted, to the point where she was able to make something that was an augmented version of what I had communicated to her during our consultation. I knew I wanted a color palette of soft pastels with certain kinds of flowers and greens (garden roses, anemone, eucalyptus, etc.), and Zenia took that as a point of departure to create something extraordinary. The way she juxtaposed color, texture, and shape in our florals was masterful - her creativity and talent blew me away. The beauty of my bridal bouquet, especially, was truly beyond anything I had envisioned. I got so many compliments from friends and family - and looking back, I think the florals are really what tied our event together in terms of the soft color palette and garden-inspired vibe. Maybe it's that those wedding emotions are still fresh, but I am literally tearing up writing this review because our flowers were so special and beautiful. They made me so happy, and I will remember them forever! More...

Wow! I would absolutely recommend Zenia and her team. I had NO idea what I wanted for flowers and decor and she walked me through the whole process and presented mood board and options to help us build the perfect wedding. We were doing a fusion wedding with both Indian and Western cultures. She did an amazing job designing a backdrop for the Western ceremony that could be turned into a mandap for the Indian ceremony. She incorporated gold and color and gorgeous fabric across all the events. She even build us the flower garlands we needed for the ceremony! Her design combined both the Indian and Western cultures with a modern elegance. It all turned out even better than I imagined. More...

There's not much to say about Zenia and her team that all of the glowing reviews here have not already said! The floral pieces that Zenia designed for my November wedding were absolutely stunning -- both exactly what I had pictured and then so much more. Everything from the centerpieces to the flower girl's crown was perfect, especially my exquisite bridal bouquet. Best of all, I got to work with Zenia, who is so kind, positive, and professional. She made the process of choosing floral for my wedding very stress free. I am so happy that we chose Flor del Monte for our wedding and highly recommend this florist to any Chicago-area bride!

Dear Yelp, it is unacceptable that I can't give Flor Del Monte one million stars! Zenia and her entire team helped create the wedding of my dreams. Every time we met with her it felt like I was talking to a friend because Zenia was so excited about making our vision a reality. I really appreciated that Zenia took the time to ask us all the right questions. When the day finally arrived, our bouquets were absolutely magical. The second they were delivered to the hotel we were in shock at their beauty. They were so lush and had the exact colors I had imagined and I'm not sure how Zenia got in my brain and figured out exactly what I was picturing! And somehow, it only got better after that. The venue completely transformed with the flowers! Everyone is still raving about how beautiful they were. I would hire this team in a heartbeat. They were kind, professional, and make dreams come true. More...

It's been several years since I have logged into Yelp to write a review, but I simply had to write one for Flor Del Monte. My husband and I recently got married at Salvage One, and three months before our wedding date, we still hadn't selected a florist. Our friend recommended Zenia at Flor Del Monte, and I'm so happy she did. From our first phone call, Zenia was a pleasure to work with, and, though we had some unconventional ideas (we were commissioning a potter-friend to make the vases for our centerpieces), she was the only florist I spoke with who seemed genuinely excited to work with us, and could work within our budget. My general rule when planning my wedding was "let the professionals do what they do best," and that definitely was my approach with the flowers; aside from telling her we wanted fall colors, and for the flowers to look a bit "wild" we really gave her free reign when it came to her designs. A few weeks before the wedding we met and she showed me a few flowers she had in mind, and my husband and I were both delighted. She came to the venue on the day of the wedding with the most gorgeous arrangements I had ever seen: roses, succulents, ranunculus, and lots of flowers I can't even name. We had so many compliments from the guests. I'll post a few pictures, though they don't do the flowers justice. I wholeheartedly recommend Zenia to anyone looking for event flowers. She's a creative and kind person, and is very easy to work with. Thanks Zenia! More...

Zenia was the florist for our May 19 wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made!  She also was the florist for my best friend's wedding the year before so I knew her work was lovely.  Somehow she had the ability to read my mind and turn our venue into the beautiful and enchanting space I pictured but couldn't fully describe.  Also, when 12 tables with pre-wedding set up turned into 20 tables with a room flip about 5 weeks before the big day, she assured me it was going to be just fine and that she had it handled.  Zenia is the total package - affordable, creative, communicative, talented, and an all around great person to work with.  If I could do it all over again I wouldn't change a thing.  THANK YOU, Zenia, for bringing my vision to life!!!

(also posted on Yelp) I selected Flor Del Monte to provide floral for my November 2017 wedding and could not have been happier with their services! Zenia was one of my favorite wedding vendors. She made me feel that I, and my wedding, mattered despite that we weren't a big budget affair. PROPOSAL PROCESS The Flor Del Monte proposal process felt very personal, professional and simple. I met with Zenia in person and discussed our needs / color scheme. She seemed to quickly understand the vision for our wedding and was able to offer ideas on the spot for me to consider. She provided a formal proposal about 4 business days later. The proposal was very detailed and also very flexible, outlining optional ideas to plus up / reduce various elements. She also proposed 3 unique centerpiece concepts to add versatility to the room design (and to help balance the budget). During our initial meeting, we actually did not discuss an official budget; as a result, Zenia's first proposal was about $2K more than I had hoped to spend. I provided this feedback and she quickly provided an alternate proposal that met my needs. BUDGET By the time I came across Flor del Monte, I had explored many alternate florists, and had actually contracted with another company that proved to be very difficult to work with. I can genuinely say that Zenia provided more for our money than I had seen with any other florist - in terms of cost per centerpiece/bouquet and, more importantly, in terms of creativity. You will not get "cookie cutter" floral from Flor del Monte. PRE-WEDDING PLANNING Zenia and I held one additional meeting to discuss final details and had a few conversations by email. She is extremely professional - all emails were responded to promptly (within 48 hours). She definitely knows her flowers and I trusted her completely. You can let Zenia and her team do their thing without micromanagement. THE FLOWERS Our flowers - the bouquets, boutonnieres, cake flowers, centerpieces - were absolutely gorgeous! They were romantic and exuded simple elegance. Also, our bouquets were out of water for about 4 hours (for the ceremony and wedding photos around Chicago). They lasted perfectly (no browning or wilting) and we were able to re-use them for the reception as planned. My only sadness regarding the flowers was that we didn't consider a plan for giving our centerpieces away at the end of the night. We had rented the vases from Flor del Monte so it wasn't as simple as people just taking them off the table. The flowers were soooo beautiful that I wished they had ended up in guests' homes. My personal bouquet still looked absolutely perfect the next morning and dried perfectly (while we were on honeymoon). Thank you, thank you, thank you Zenia for being an important reason that my wedding day was absolutely magical! More...

I called Zenia of Flor del Monte on February 13th because my grandmother passed away and I wanted the most beautiful bouquet possible for her. I knew it was the day before Valentine's Day and that it's one of the busiest days of the year for florists. Would they agree to the order? Not only did Zenia show compassion in taking the order, she also gave me several options and worked with me on a beautiful palette of whites and purples. When I saw the work they did and the customized card they included for me, I was blown away.

In 2014 I said that Zenia was 'Flower Genius" but now, I need to raise her up to "Miracle Worker" status! On Thursday night my Son announced that he was going to deliver his "Prom Proposal" to his girlfriend on Friday afternoon. When I asked him about "the plan" he told me that he was going to pick up some 'flowers' at CVS and ask the question. Even though I was aghast in the inside, I played it cool on the outside and offered my help. He accepted; whereas,I rushed to the phone and gave Zenia a call and sent a follow up email since it was after hours. Over the course of the night, I received a response from Zenia with two words,"...no problem". With her help my Son will have beautiful flowers from a true "Flower Genius" to deliver to his girlfriend. Not am I delighted by Zenia's last minute help; I am hopeful that my Son will learn that there is a difference between receipt of 'just flowers' to that of a beautiful gesture that comes  from ones heart.

Flor del Monte was such a pleasure to work with and I feel like we got a great value for our money. The company is family owned and Zenia took care of us the entire time. Right from our initial consultation we felt confident in Zenia's design abilities and seemed to really know what I was looking for based on pictures I showed her and what I described. After our consultation, Zenia drew up two separate proposals, each at different price points, which we appreciated. Both were done very well with great detail, and I didn't feel like she was pushing us toward one option over the other. Ultimately, we were able to incorporate pieces that we liked from each proposal. As our wedding got closer, I contacted Zenia to tell her that I had added another color to our color palette, and she was happy to adjust our contract to incorporate the new colors and design. We met one final time at her studio to see a mock up of our centerpieces and we were really happy with the results. On the day of the wedding, Zenia's team arrived as scheduled with our personal flowers and went to get to work on our ceremony and reception space.

I cannot express how wonderful my experience was working with Zenia. From planning to execution, it was a seamless, stress-free process with a positively stunning result. I found Flor del Monte through Yelp. After our introductory call, Zenia instantly understood the floral decor I wanted for my wedding. I had previously had a few florists balk at my modest floral budget but Zenia quickly came back with cost-cutting blooms and clever ways to make the entire space feel incredibly lush and full-- all under budget. Because I was planning remotely, Zenia arranged for my parents to preview a sample bouquet and was very receptive to suggested changes.The day of the wedding, I was unable preview the space before walking down the aisle. Entering the room though, it was more romantic than I had envisioned-- beautifully candle lit with elegant arrangements that were so tastefully done.

I cannot say enough positive things about Zenia and Flor Del Monte!!  Zenia is sweet, talented, and made our wedding so beautiful!  We got married at the Bridgeport Art Center Skyline Loft.  Zenia made a breathtaking chuppah with lush greenery, and created the most beautiful centerpieces.  Zenia was always easily available via email and phone, and in-person to meet and discuss logistics.  She made the whole process so, so easy!  Thank you so much Zenia!!!
