Florist Reccos needed

in Illinois-Chicago
Need to get on the train of searching for and booking a florist.  Here's what I'm looking for:

- in Chicago, not suburbs.
- we live on the Northside, ceremony & reception is downtown by Merchandise Mart.
- we're going minimal, as in no decor, bouquets/boutineers only, no corsages

Thanks in advance for the reccommendations!

    I'm using Avant Gardenia, who delivers to the city for cheap. We are also going minimal (only corsages and boutonnieres), and Jenna's been great to work with. She is very creative and her work is absolutely beautiful.

    I am using Heidi at Wishing Well Florist. They are located in the city and have been wonderful to work with. She has probably written me 7 proposals with things that I wanted to change and has been great about it. Because I started looking so early, she was able to do a mock up for me last year and is doing another one when we get closer to our date. Love her.

    I highly recommend Tracy Ciganek with Elegant Blooms.  She is in Naperville, but travels to meet you in Chicago if that's what you prefer.  We used her and she always came to us, we never had to leave the city.

    From this post, assuming you're newly engaged and planning a wedding.  If so, congrats!!  What an exciting time for you and your fiancé!
    I just saw this post and thought perhaps I could help.  In addition to being a past Chicago bride (now a Chicago mom to two little ones!), I’m also the owner/designer of flowers by stem – I design flowers for weddings and events in Chicago. Feel free to check out my website for examples of recent work – www.flowersbystem.com/">www.flowersbystem.com. I do all design work out of my home, so with no overhead, I can usually deliver amazing designs for less than the flower shops! I’d love to chat with you if you’re interested, so feel free to check out my work and shoot me an email if you’d like to discuss more.
     Thanks in advance!
