Hands down the best florist is Entwined! They get to know their customers on a first name basis, maintain a beautiful store filled with a variety of fresh flowers and handcrafted items that make perfect one-of-a-kind gifts, their prices are competitive but I feel they have a unique niche with their designs, their classes are affordable and a blast, they will create a gorgeous arrangement in a vase that you provide based on your price point, and they work with the community to support fundraising events. I'm always proud to give an arrangement or gift that was purchased at Entwined. Whether you spend $10, $1000 or more, you're going to get the same superior level of customer service and care with your order and experience.

Without a doubt, LAKE FOREST FLOWERS. They are highly creative, use the highest quality flowers and materials and their service is outstanding. They work great with other florists all around the country. They are very competitive for the service and quality they provide. A delightfully service oriented florist who can be counted on. If you haven't used them I strongly suggest you give them a try. You won't be dissapointed!

Entwined in Grayslake is a special place with its simple to unique arrangements, and I appreciate the customer service from Kate and others there. One standout experience I had was just a couple years ago, when I dashed in before a funeral -- the lack of timing was completely on me and what I was hoping to find wasn’t exactly typical. Even though it was a busy day there, they were able to pull together everything I needed on the spot. The bill was stunningly low, all considering. They truly went above and beyond the call, and they helped me on a day when it was hard to speak. Since then, because I do feel they treat customers well and they have beautiful arrangements, I continue to recommend them to others and the shop will always be my first stop for flowers.

“Real, or Not?”
Beautiful fresh and silk flowers, Lake Forest Flowers’ creativity and quality is award-winning, and has my vote! For my Prom, thanks to a suggestion from Lake Forest Flowers’ helpful staff, I wore silk flowers in my hair. I had parents and peers marveling at my decorated up-do; they were convinced I had fresh-cut roses in my hair all night! Thank you, Lake Forest Flowers, for the amazing floral hairpieces; you truly know how to leave a lasting impression. Again, your creativity and quality has captured my vote!

We are fortunate, indeed to have so many good florists in our town, and our preferences are usually determined by our histories and affiliations, for sure. The times I have been literally "thunderstruck" by an arrangement that is unusually beautiful and exquisite:
A wedding: Art Quest
A funeral: Joseph
A garden walk tour: Joy
I always ask when I see something gorgeous, unusual and memorable, and the answer is usually these three florists.

Lake Forest Flowers has been my favorite source for fresh flowers and floral art for more than 30 years. Beginning with my own spectacular wedding bouquet of rubrum lilies, fiddle fern, freesia and lily of the valley, and 34 years later the amazing floral art arrangements and bridal party bouquets for my son's recent Thanksgiving wedding, this group of talented designers continues to amaze and thrill me. Lake Forest Flowers offers the highest level of service and design innovation. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I love Lake Florest Flowers!!!
