Sprout Home — Local services in West Chicago Township

We used Sprout Home for our wedding flowers and they were amazing! We specifically worked with Ernie who was so wonderful, patient, and friendly to work with. Also, I know very little about flowers, but she spent time with me on video calls and knew what questions to ask and how to work with me to understand exactly what I was going for with our wedding. I could tell that this is definitely more than a job for her - it was clearly an art and a passion of hers. I was also wearing a specific cultural wedding dress instead of a white dress, and without me even asking, she did some extra research to figure out the flower of the country where my dress was made to match the theme. I thought this was so thoughtful and meaningful. Everything stayed within our budget as well and I was very pleasantly surprised at how much we were able to do within this budget. Delivery and set up on the day of the wedding went super smoothly too. The flowers were even more beautiful and unique than I imagined and we got so many compliments on them. I contacted many florists for our wedding before landing on Sprout Home and I'm so, so glad that this was the florist we worked with - they are wonderful!! Everything was perfect. I HIGHLY recommend Sprout Home for flowers and working with...

When we moved to Chicago last summer I was so excited to find a plant store I loved, and even more excited when I realized that their floral shop did weddings. Having fresh beautiful flowers at our August 2022 wedding was so important to me and Ernie more than delivered. When I came in for our consultation I had some ideas of what I wanted but couldn't fully articulate (or even visualize) what it would all look like. Somehow, Ernie knew! Ernie was so patient as I changed my color scheme, added some dried florals, and put in last minute requests for specific flowers (and she figured out ways to incorporate all of my requests even when she warned me that they'd be hard to keep fresh for a full evening). The final result was more perfect than I could have imagined and she somehow intuited what I would love (for example, she added birds of paradise to my bouquet and to our chuppah decor, a flower that I love but would have never thought to request!).

It's one thing for the flowers to be perfect the day of but they also lasted so long after the wedding. I brought my bouquet and our sweetheart table arrangement with on our mini-moon and they still looked beautiful for days to come, and we gave away many of our bud vase arrangements to friends and family to brighten...

Yes, this store looks like a magical indoor jungle oasis, but I can't get over how insanely expensive it is. It feels like they're fooling people over some of these plant prices who want convenience and not to visit other stores. Is their $160 14" Monstera somehow magically better than the $40 one I got at another garden center? I don't see how.. mine had more non-damaged leaves than theirs tbh. Also, beware of smaller 4" pots that seem reasonably priced. I got a $6 philodendron brasil, naively assuming it was somewhat of an established, rooted plant. But once all the leaves started dying off, I checked and it was simply brand new cuttings covered with soil with NO root establishment whatsoever. Maybe I could have asked, but I don't think I should have to. I think it should be transparent what you're buying. I pick up some plants and see their prices are 2-4x more than I've seen for the same plant elsewhere, I feel like they up-charge for popularity. The pots are also insanely expensive, but hopefully they are hand-crafted by artists and that is what is setting the price. It'd be nice to have some reasonably-priced pots other than the one brown/tan-ish terra-cotta they offer for those of us that can't afford the...
