Exceptional flower arrangement (High and Yellow Majic) for our wedding anniversary. I will always use Victor Havacek Florists for arrangements.

Flowers and foliage were not full enough as a deluxe order should have been. There was barely any green foliage as shown on the website pic. Flower color details were a little off. I know it cannot be exact all the time but definitely could have been better.

The recipient of this gift was overly impressed. Great job!

I had a wonderful experience working with Hlavacek. I was pleased with how quickly they were able to deliver my order -- by far the easiest next-day option in the area -- and was deeply impressed by their floral selection, which was considerably more beautiful than the stock picture on their website. Will be a longtime repeat customer, highly recommend!

Thank you so much to your team for the gorgeous & incredibly quick delivery!! Had the last minute idea to send a Thank You from California to new friends in Winnetka for the Easter weekend — Google brought me to your Florist & Greenhouse! Our selection looked beautiful and was the perfect surprise on their doorstep! Much appreciated

On time delivery and unbelievable arrangement. I have tried many flower shops in the area that send half of what is shown on the website. This was absolutely as advertised. I will be a repeat customer for sure! Thank you!

I'm always so pleased with Hlavacek florist. Their arrangements always look like the photos or better in person. They can get it done and delivered super fast and their website is easy to navigate (although they are great on the phone too) Highly recommended, especially for the North Shore.
Elizabeth S.
|
I am disappointed. I ordered two, and they were delivered on time, but honestly for $500 they don’t look like the photo on your website. There isn’t even a single red rose in either arrangement. It’s embarrassing.
Kyle K.

Beautiful arrangement, delivered as requested, great follow up from florist. I love Victor Hlavacek, us3d them for years
Justin K.

I sent this as a gift to a relative. It was delivered as promised. She loved it and thought it was gorgeous, (her words). She sent a photo and it looks exactly like the one in the website. Thank you for making both our days.
Marisa J.

Very easy to order online, and they arrived the same day. The recipient was thrilled! Thank you so much
Marjorie L.

I have not seen the actual bouquet because it was sent as a gift to a friend. However, I very much appreciate the fact that Hlavacek’s kept me informed as to when the arrangement was going to be delivered, and the fact that it was successfully.
Holly M.

The dish was exactly as pictured and the begonias were even prettier. My sister was really touched.

I always use Designer's Choice when ordering from Victor Hlavacek Florists. The arrangements are always impressive. In this case, my Mom was truly blown away. Thank you!!
Patricia T.

I ordered 'Designer's Choice' flowers for a friend just out of the hospital. The florist followed up with an email saying that before delivering, they would confirm with recipient that she was back home.
The flowers were beautiful. My friend loved them and sent a photo. Great service. High recommendation.

I’ve ordered from the website twice and both times I had a positive experience. My friend loved the white roses and poinsettia.

Calla was out of season. Florist called with alternate suggestion--very helpful--and a beautiful flowering plant!

For the price this arrangement could have been much bigger. I ordered the deluxe size for $150 and the arrangement was very small, looked like the regular size. Otherwise, the ease of ordering online was great and the delivery was on time and as expected.
Julie V.
|
My experience was great. Ordering was easy, they customized with pink flowers as I requested and interim communication by email on customization made things easy. Most of all, my friend in the hospital raved about the beautiful flowers and arrangement! Highly recommend!
Sarah M.

Flowers were beautiful and recipient was very pleased! Ordered and delivered immediately! Amazing how fast they got there!

Always beautiful and long-lasting. Delivered on time with short notice. This is the second time I’ve used them and I will never use anyone else when buying flowers for someone local.

Victor Hlavacek never disappoints! The flowers looked exactly as the picture! Thank you again for another gorgeous flower arrangement! Your designs and arrangements are always exceptional!

Called for a same day birthday delivery at 11 am and the flowers were delivered at 1:30 pm and looked great. Hlavacek was easy to work with - I accidentally ordered twice and they canceled one order with no problem.
Not cheap but service is friendly & quick, and the flowers are beautiful.

Delivery was swift and email communication to sender was helpful. The recipient loved the flowers but I wish I was able to see what they were.
Cecilia S.

Absolutely stunning! The photo of what I wanted to send online was exactly what was delivered. Loved that I was also sent a photo of what was delivered. Ordering online was easy because I was able to place my order before the store was open. Thanks for making this such an easy process!

Exactly as described plus the request of an early delivery was carried out. Lovely arrangement. Thoroughly recommend this florist.

We moved to No. Carolina in 1985, after raising our family where I grew up, in Winnetka. Two daughters and their families still live there. I am so grateful that Hlavacek continues to exist as the Most outstanding florist serving the North Shore and I rely on no other.

Thank you for being a part of our special day! The flower choice was absolutely gorgeous!Many thanks to your wonderful team for the outstanding service.
Biana M.

I have ordered from Victor Hlavacek in the past and the flowers are top quality. Truly this is my favorite florist to order from! However, this time the bouquet arrived with a broken flower that was visibly broken and made the bouquet not as appealing. Hope this is a one off experience and this doesn't happen in the future. I'm guessing it got broken in the delivery process but definitely not a favorable bouquet to give to your mom on Mother's Day.
Elizabeth S.

Thank you so much for creating a beautiful arrangement for my mom. She was absolutely delighted by the experience from the nice delivery person, to the careful packaging, to the beauty and quality of the flowers. You were my grandmother Caroline Hartmann's favorite florist for her whole life and also did my wedding flowers in 1993 - we appreciate your family business and extra care and professionalism!

This is the BEST florist ever! The pictures don’t even do the flowers justice and the fliers and plants are stunning (especially the amazing orchids). Wow! Thanks for the amazing service as well - every time!

Thanks for speedy delivery of get well flowers the same day I ordered them. I am so impressed and my friend is greatly cheered up by beautiful flowers (after just getting home from hospital she has something colorful to look at). My family and extended family are so happy!!!

Mom loved the orchid... She said it's a gorgeous one with lots of buds, and she's an orchid connoisseur. Thank you for helping us celebrate our mom "from a distance" during quarantine!

We ordered an arrangement for our granddaughter's 7th birthday. We live far away and wanted to send something special. I asked if the arrangement could be something a 7 year old you love. You made a gorgeous arrangement with darling fairy figures adorning the flowers. It was perfect and she was thrilled! Thank you so much!

Victor Hlavacek Florist did a wonderful job. We ordered online and were keeping our fingers crossed that the orchid we ordered would be awesome. It was. Thank you.

I was a little nervous ordering sight unseen from your website but my friend was thrilled. Your outstanding reputation for providing beautiful orchids and reliable service continues.
Thank you!

Despite my late order, the flowers arrived on time. My friend sent a pic so I could see how beautiful the arrangement was: lush and green and full. She described it as “a whole garden inside.” THANK YOU!!!!
Julie T.

I ordered this for my friend’s birthday. She happens to be a co-worker so I got to see the arrangement. It was MAGNIFICENT. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Hlavacek. You are now my go-to florist.

My daughter received this beautiful arrangement of succulents after having her wisdom teeth out and they really cheered her up. They are beautiful!!! I have also used Victor Hlavacek for a condolence bouquet for a friend, and they did a beautiful job. I highly recommend them. : )
Nicole C.

I live out of state. I asked a Chicago friend for a florist recommendation and Hlavacek did not disappoint. I ordered online - which can be risky. It was seamless. I asked for white flowers and greenery. When my friend received the arrangement, she called immediately and texted a photo. You can’t beat a heritage florist with that kind of old school service - but also modern conveniences!
William Z.

Flowers were delivered on time and the florist took my brief suggestions into consideration. My girl friend sent me a photo and they looked significantly better than other bouquets I'd seen that day. I will definitely order again soon!

Thankyou for giving me this opportunity.
I have been sent s photo and been told they are beautiful.. I was a little disappointed that there weren’t more flowers and was expecting a pinkie coloured arrangement..that’s is what I saw in the picture on your website.
Kind regards

My purchasing experience was perfect! The flowers and vase were adored by sister. Thank you so much!!!
Samuel F.

Very colorful, but I must say, even though I selected (and paid for) the "premium" version, what showed up did not much resemble the accompanying photo. I frankly was expecting something larger. The flowers look "mini" in nature.

The person we sent this to swooned at it's beauty. Thanks for taking such good care of this!

I ordered flowers for a teacher of mine from over 60 years ago. I 'googled' her and found her address. I've lived out of the area for 40 years but remembered the Hlavacek name. Put my faith in them. They did not disappoint. My teacher moved to an assisted living facility and Hlavacek followed the trail and delivered there for me. I sent several emails requesting additional information and they responded immediately. THANK YOU HLAVACEK AND YOUR DELIVERY PERSON!

We had this delivered to someone and never saw it, but the online order process from out of state was very good. I especially liked how it displayed the message I wrote in a pretty script font. Every online order process should be so simple and easy.

Once again, we received an amazing bouquet of flowers and my wife was overly impressed. You have become my exclusive for ordering flowers. Never disappoint.

I have always ordered through major nation wide flower providers and have always been disappointed. I tried local this time for our anniversary and used Victor Hlavacek, and was overly impressed. The arrangement was larger and more beautiful than I expected. Finally, our anniversary was on May 28 and today, 9 days later, the flowers are still beautiful and fresh. I am now a convert and will use Victor exclusively.
