Reasonably Priced But Beautiful Flowers

I am looking for an excellent florist but that is reasonably priced. I have seen some of Yanni's Design Studios that are fabulous but their minimum is 4,000. Does anyone know of a florist they could recommend that would provide the same wow but at a more reasonable cost?

My reception is in Rolling Meadows and I live in the Southwest Suburbs of Chicago any information would be greatly appreciated.

    They're in the city but I'm pretty sure they travel to the burbs...check out Lasalle Florist on Lasalle. I had received quotes from 4 or 5 other florists and they ranged anywhere from $6k-$10k. I went to Lasalle and they charged me $3900. My fiancee and I use Lasalle anytime we need flowers and they're always gorgeous! They go direct to the suppliers and avoid all warehouses and middle men so they're able to keep their costs down

    Kio Kreations! She's out of Naperville but works everywhere. I think her minimum is now $2K but she does alot for her money.

    The place I'm using is also in the city, but they are working with my budget and I'm spending less than above.  They are very professional and the arrangments were great!  The place is called The Flower Firm.

    I'm using Mary from Flowers by Colors -- she's located in Oak Lawn, but travels. Very nice, creative and willing to work within your budget. Her website is www.flowersbycolorchicago.com.

    I just met with Kristen at Kio Kreations last week - she is AWESOME! Her Minimum on a Saturday is $1800 and on a Friday or Sunday is $1500 and if you just want personal flowers the min on a Saturday is $1000 and on a Friday or Sunday is $850.

    There were a few things I realy wanted that were out of my price range, and she told me how to make them myself for cheaper! You don't find vendors that will do that very often. I highly recomend to at least meet with her, tell her your budget, and see what she can do for you, she is great.

    Try the Enchanted Florist in Orland Park. David will work within any budget - he's pretty great.
