Shamrock Garden Florist Ltd

We were not excited about the flowers for our wedding. My bouquet was beautiful, but the girls' bouquets are average at best.

When the bouquets showed up to my house, they were very small, fit for a jr bridesmaid. They did not have the orchids that i asked for and the color of the rose was not what we discussed at our practice. The color was very off from the dresses and I did provide a swatch. Because the bouquets were small and not what I wanted, the florist, Linda, went back to the shop to add hydrangeas. This was not what I wanted, but settled for it. It was very nice of Linda to go back and try to fix them, but it made picture taking difficult and it should not have been an issue in the first place. We were delayed in taking pictures and delayed for the trolley. Also, the maid of honor's bouquet accents were not what we discussed.

The groomsmen had roses, but were supposed to have an accent color. This was not done.

The outside arrangement at the hall was nice, but the one's in the hall on the tables were skimpy. They had more greenery accents in them than the flowers. Also, I asked for heavy white flowers with accents of the colored roses and there were a lot of the color roses and green.

I was not pleased and would not refer shamrock garden to anyone else. I am very disappointed that we spent so much money and did not recieve what we asked for.

Having used Shamrock for both our wedding and various special occasions over the past few years, everything has been great. I would not hesitate to use them.

I used Shamrock Garden for my wedding because I was recommended to them by another bride. I met with with Linda and it was easy to pick out what I wanted. I wanted all tulips, bright bold colors. I even called back to confirm no pastels. The day of the wedding came and all of the flowers were pastel!! They were dull pastel colors for all of the bridesmaids, flower girls and the accent flowers in my bouquet. I was very disappointed and I feel like it looks like Easter flowers in all of the pictures and doesn't match the dresses at all. I would not recomend them for weddings!!

I've ordered various arrangements from Shamrock Garden Florist through the years and have always gotten compliments on how wonderful their arrangement are! I leave it up to Shamrock - I give them the colors I'd like them to use, tell them the occasion and they put together a lovely arrangement every time. Never a complaint with them. The people who work there are great! :)

I ordered a Christmas poinsettia over the Internet from Shamrock Garden to be delivered to an elderly relative. Being from the Lombard area, I had confidence in Shamrock Garden when placing the order, however, I was surprised when I received my charge account statement with a billing amount more than my receipt. I have yet to have anyone call me back to explain. I won't be ordering from there again and certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone else.

I have bought different types of flowers at Shamrock, great variety and styles. i usually place an order ahead of time and pick from the different styles that they provided on the catalogue. i bought flowers there when my friend was at the hospital and offer a great variety that you can choose from, such as roses, roses with dew, lilies, daisies,etc. i am so pleased with them for their great service and fast shipment. I would recommend giving them a look.
