The Wishing Well Florist

I loved working with Heidi. She worked with my budget and was so accommodating and flexible with all of the last minute changes I had. Our second consultation to view the flowers really helped me visualize how my flowers are going to look like. If you have started planning for the wedding, you'll know how hard it is to really visualize how your bouquets + centerpieces + color themes are all going to come together. I wanted blush for my roses and Heidi really helped me figure out the exact shade of "blush" I was going for. There were way too many different meaning of the color "blush" The day of the wedding, she personally delivered my bouquets at my house. She even met with me to make sure I was okay with my bouquet. She is so nice, friendly, and so helpful. Not to the mention the flowers looked amazing. Everyone praised about how the centerpieces looked so beautiful. I highly recommend her. She will not let you down :) More...

We worked with Dorothy for our flowers and decor at our wedding this past weekend. The way that Dorothy transformed our venue was amazing. We were truly blown away by the work that she did and the final result far exceeded our expectations. I had purchased all of our vases, candle holders, and candles separately. Dorothy and her assistant worked with our materials and made something magical. When we started all of our wedding planning, we did not even want to hire a florist. It is a good thing we did because her work was one of the best parts of our wedding and everything was pretty good so that is saying a lot! Thank you Dorothy! More...

Dorothy at Wishing Well is an amazing florist! The flowers were one of the most important elements to me for my wedding and I had a decent but not huge budget for what I wanted. Dorothy worked really closely with me to give me the most bang for my buck and she did a great job of interpreting my ideas.

I wanted a "garden" look to my flowers. Lots of soft colors, fluffy flowers, etc. I also told her that I wanted my centerpieces to look like they were growing out of the table - confusing, right? Not for Dorothy! Everything was beautiful and I was sad at the end of the night when I couldn't take everything home with me.

I would absolutely use Dorothy and Wishing Well Florist again. More...

Heidi was fantastic! She had thoughtful suggestions without being overbearing and she truly has a wonderful knowledge of her field. She was also very flexible with my budget; we discussed options even before the first meeting, and she provided me a proposal with multiple options for each flower arrangement that would allow me to vary the cost. Most importantly, the delivery went smoothly and the flowers were gorgeous! We had so many compliments during and after the wedding. If I need flowers for another event, I would absolutely work with Heidi again. Thanks for helping make our wedding so beautiful! More...

I work with plants as a landscape designer and have a lot of personal style(and opinions about combinations of plants). Heidi Reed and Dorothy Flisk managed to capture that style and work with the style of my dress to create something breathtakingly amazing and inspiring. I loved the balanced blending of textures, colors and materials. We had seed pods, flowers, feathers and branches combined in really creative ways that always looked stunning, elegant and tasteful. The concept was beautifully and consistently carried through the corsages, boutineers, bouquets, table arrangements etc. They worked with my budget and I felt like they really listened to what I wanted and help me figure out what that would look like when I had no idea what I wanted. I know it was my own wedding but I have never seen flower arrangements that were so beautiful and I had so many guests comment on them. I will use them for every single event that I would like to have flowers at. I have also seen their work at other events and it never fails to impress me. I highly recommend Wishing Well in every respect. More...

I used The Wishing Well for my wedding on 8/31/13 and I was very happy! Heidi was very sweet and easy to work with. During the consultation, she was knowledgeable, calm, friendly and flexible.

She was easy to work with during the contract and negotiation stage. She was very responsive over email and I particularly appreciated her suggestions that showed that she was sensitive to my budget - she would point out what would make the most impact and what was probably not worth the money. Much appreciated!

On the day of the wedding, the flowers were pretty and had the look and feel we agreed upon. She was on time and very professional. More...

Dorothy was a treat to work with. Our venue was very specific and very grand which called for subtle and understated flowers to not compete with the space. Dorothy worked with me in choosing the right flowers for centerpieces as well as my bouquet. She put a lot of effort into making things very personal for me and my husband. My husband is a chef and she suggested rosemary to be used in some centerpieces and as decoration. It looked beautiful. My bouquet was beautiful and perfect. More...

I worked with Dorothy for my 9/8/13 wedding and words cannot express how thankful I am for her help. Starting a few months before my wedding I met with Dorothy to discuss my “vision”. Turns out, I wasn’t completely sure of the look I wanted but Dorothy was able to help me figure this out. She showed me a picture list of flowers and I hand picked the ones I liked and pointed out the ones I did not. Before the wedding, I sent numerous emails back and forth to Dorothy as we finalized the floral contract. She was very thoughtful and mindful of my budget, but would not compromise on the look. She was very honest with me when she thought we could remove flowers from the centerpieces to stay within the budget but would not let me remove flowers from my bouquet because she said it would not look the way I wanted (I provided her a picture). Fortunately, for a bride with ever changing desires, I was able to make changes even several weeks out from the wedding and I never felt rushed or pressured to do anything.

We did a mock centerpiece trial (you can choose with arrangement you want to view an example of before the wedding) and I was blown away. Even the venue coordinator was shocked at how stunning the centerpieces looked. On the day of the wedding, the floral arrangements were delivered on time and everyone was amazed at how beautiful the flowers were! My bouquet, the bridesmaids, the ceremony flowers, mother’s corsages and the centerpieces were incredibly beautiful! When I say detailed oriented, I mean incredible attention to details. My wedding flowers were beyond my wildest dream. These are just a few of the ways Dorothy helped me, believe me I could go on and on.

If you are looking for floral arrangements that you see in the magazines, quality customer service and respect of your budget, I highly recommend Dorothy at the Wishing Well Florist. More...

The Wishing Well florist took my vision of my dream wedding and brought it to life. I was the bride and my bouquet was exquisite. My bridesmaids bouquets were stunning and the Groomsman as well. At our reception our guests raved about the arrangements on the tables and the little details that they created for us. Words cannot express how happy I was with the work thy did. As a matter of fact, my aunt showed me pictures of our rehearsal spot all set up as I was getting ready for the ceremony and it brought me to tears. Dorothy and her team were extremely consultative, attentive, and professional. They went above and beyond for us and for that I will always we grateful.

Heidi from Wishing Well Florist was AWESOME to work with. When I was first searching online for a florist, I emailed a couple different places, and most people sent back a generic list of pieces and prices. Heidi was the only one to send me a whole preliminary proposal before I even met her!

When I did meet her in person, she was so sweet! She was very willing to work with my budget, and had a lot of different suggestions when I wanted to scale back in certain areas. That being said, you probably COULD find a less expensive florist in the Chicago area...but Heidi was SUCH a calming force and so responsive to my wishy-washiness, that I felt her attentiveness made her prices worth it. The woman had a BABY two months before my wedding, and she was still emailing back and forth with me a month after her delivery, and showed up promptly on my wedding day to deliver our flowers!

Our bouquets and centerpieces were PERFECT, and she even suggested we use the centerpieces during the ceremony to save on costs. The only aspect that I wasn't thrilled about was having to bring the vases from the bouquets to the venue, since she dropped them off at the hotel that morning. It didn't end up being a problem, though, since our parents were also staying at the hotel, and brought them over while the bridal party was out taking pictures.

Bottom line, if I could do it all over again, I'd go with Heidi and the Wishing Well Florist without a second thought! More...

What a great vendor to work with? I worked with Heidi, but would also recommend her partner just as well. She was able to take my vision of random spring flowers and really turn it into something beautiful. I really wish I could clone the flowers from the wedding and see them everyday. She was great to work with from the start and was able to walk me through the whole process.

Quality of Service: Outstanding and totally work the cost.
Responsiveness: Incredibly good. She even asked a month out if we could take a break during Valentine's day week. Incredibly professional and easy to work with.
Professionalism: Incredibly good. She was very upfront with any matters that might come up as problems with the wedding and had them solved months ahead of time.
Value: I looked at several other florists and her costs were right in line with a typical downtown Chicago Florist.
Flexibility: Really good. I had a last minute change in boutianaire color due to a last minute tie color change and she had no issues at all. Considering the color of the tie went from gray to purpose this was pretty amazing. More...

We had a small, budget wedding, so I did all the centerpieces and bridesmaids bouquets myself (yayy affordable wholesale flowers:). When it came time for the bridal bouquet and boutonnieres, however, I was a little overwhelmed by all the other DIY projects and decided to hire a vendor. Price-wise it was in the moderate range, not cheap but not crazy expensive either. My bouquet of white calla lilies and the groom/smen mini calla boutonnieres turned out great. Heidi was very professional and came to deliver the bouquet and pinned the boutonnieres on the guys herself. Overall I was satisfied with The Wishing Well Florist. More...

Where to begin? The Wishing Well Florist did a spectacular job with all of the floral arrangements for our wedding and reception. On every level, Heidi exceeded my expectations. From the first time I met with her, when I was unsure about how everything would come together since I did not have a ‘clear’ vision, she was reassuring, helpful, thoughtful, creative and so friendly. She listened to my ideas and thoughts and then followed up with suggestions. In the end we (she) achieved an amazingly elegant and stunningly beautiful environment. My family, friends, and I still marvel at how nice everything looked – she is so attentive to even the smallest details. Her knowledge and experience were only exceeded by her ‘heart’ and passion for her work. It is so difficult to articulate everything Heidi did. What I can say again is that Heidi and her team at The Wishing Well Florist exceeded any expectations we had for our wedding flowers! I absolutely loved my bouquet, and my sisters were thrilled with theirs as well. Our mothers and a grandmother were pleased with their wrist corsages, too. The centerpieces and other floral décor were all magnificent. I would absolutely recommend The Wishing Well Florist without hesitation, and I would certainly use them again if I have an event to plan. More...

For my first meeting, I came in feeling prepared with pictures and ideas about what types and colors of flowers I wanted and styles of bouquets I thought would compliment the event space and our personal styles. After explaining the theme and vision I had, I asked if she had another ideas of flowers I might not be aware of that would fit our event better or might be more budget-friendly. Heidi came up with many suggestions, most of which I opted for instead of my original ideas. Her ideas not only created an elegant and beautiful look that encompassed exactly what Iwas looking for, but did in a unique way that set our event apart from others I had been to or seen pictures of, and helped stay well within our original budget. Heidi was very helpful, knowledeable, friendly and professional to work with. More...

Honestly I cannot put into words how unbelievable Heidi at The Wishing Well Florist really is. I interviewed several florists, all of which were referrals.

She focuses on the special, little details that truly go a LONG way when putting together an event. I can't express how grateful I am to Heidi and her team. She saw everything through from beginning to end. From dropping off arrangements in the morning for pictures to take down at night. SHE was there for everything. I would recommend her to anyone...

Dorothy is awesome! I had seen her work at a wedding prior to planning my own, and when I looked at their online portfolio, I knew I was lucky to have her!
We talked for a while about what i wanted my flowers to look like.. In the end, I told her random things I liked... orchids, fluffy roses, succulents, tree branches and limes... and I can't believe how amazingly she made all of those things work together to make beautiful arrangements for us! There were so many flowers!!!!! so many little extra touches too, like flowers in the guests' napkins and in random places around the room.
My bouquet was exquisite-- the flowers were absolutely gorgeous, and so fresh, they lasted almost the whole week we were on honeymoon-- of course I had to bring it with me!!!
Dorothy even got through a mini-panic when I worried that my roses wouldn't be "fluffy" enough (gosh, I feel so stupid typing it now...) and she was able to get a bunch of garden roses for me on short notice, to fluff up the bunch... of course, nothing needed fluffing-- the other roses were exactly as she had promised-- fluffy and divine!
