This is my go to florist for years. I always leave the arrangement design up to the florists because they are very talented and artistic. They are all very friendly and helpful too.
The shop has lots of beautiful gifts besides the flowers as well. All of this at a moderate cost for a great overall value and experience.

Im getting married and was looking for only one bouquet and a boutonnière. I haven't done much research because I wanted to see what could be ordered for a December wedding and to hear some professional opinions. This place is less than professional. The woman I spoke to was condescending and just outright rude. Not everyone knows everything about flowers! She asked me if I am "on the web" and to bring in pictures of exactly what I want. Pardon me for wanting something unique and creative. I thought I'd bring in pictures once I knew what was in season or not, I didn't

I ordered flowers for my Mom for Mothers Day. My Mom absolutely loved them. They are fresh, vibrant and high quality flowers. It was so easy to order them from their website. They were ready on time and a great value for the money. Thank you Balmes Flowers Gurnee for making my Mom so happy on Mother's Day. Will definitely order again!

Called In the afternoon to have flowers delivered by 3:00pm for my brother's unexpected wake. Not only were they caring and attentive to detail, the woman who I spoke with (I forgot to ask her name) said "It's ok we will get through this" as I was trying to decide what to order and what to say on his card.
I'm forever thankful and highly recommend Balmes Flowers for all your floral needs.

Balmes was an amazing vendor for our wedding. I had a vision in my head of what I wanted but no experience to describe it, as I do not know much about flowers. Michele was so detailed and was able to see my vision and help us make it work in our budget. I was never nervous about what it would like, so I was not surprised to see the beautiful bouquet waiting for me on Saturday.
They went above and beyond. I received so many compliments about the floral arrangements at our venue!

Terrible. I bought flowers for my girlfriend ONCE. The flowers were expensive, but the set up and bouquet wasnt anything special. I would say below average service. I planned on using their services ONCE. Im not the kind of guy to waste my money on buying flowers for my girlfriend. Id prefer a surprise date, even picking flowers together or for her. I dont really get the idea of buying someone to give flowers to your loved one? Anyways, the reason i give them one star, is because i SPECIFICALLY CHECKED THE BOX SAYING I DID NOT WANT EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS ON DEALS. I didnt like their service but i

What you see online prior to ordering and what you receive shows that they are cutting back to save costs. It looked nice online but when it was received it was not as full as the picture and on this display you are not given the option to upgrade. I would not order this again. I should have spent 10 dollars more for a dozen roses because it is harder to skimp on the arrangement.

Ordered from Balmes on 8/25/2015 for wake on 8/26/2016 in Gurnee, IL. The flower basket cost $79.99, and tax and delivery brought the total just under $100. The flower arrangement was very poorly executed, looking much more skimpy than the online version. It certainly wasn't $79.99 worth of flowers (carnations and daisies, mind you -- not expensive flowers such as roses and lilies)!!! However, worse even was that the card that accompanied the flowers looked like it was hand-printed by perhaps a second grader (a mishmash of lower case and capital letters, and odd spacing between the letters

I went in with an idea for a bouquet and the owner pretty much said it was boring. She had no pictures to show me. She asked for me to look up pictures and show her and she would give me a price. Very rude and she acted like I was bothering her. She was very negative and it was a horrible experience!

Ordered from a local florist to support small business. Ordered several days ahead and used their web site. Asked for delivery between 8 and 2. Called at 12 noon when they had not been delivered and was told all was good. Called again at 1:50 pm. and they could not get a hold of the delivery guy. Not great service, might as well used Pro-Flowers or someone else

One of the oldest florist in lake county so I guess they do not need to worry about making the consumer happy or service. This place is right in town and has a coupe on the flower industry. So if you are looking for run of the mill and no respect this it the place for you. Jeanne Balmes you might be one of the oldest families in town but I have lived here all my life too (50+) and you were so rude by doing your wihispering and rolling your eyes with your other employee when all I wanted was a flower hair piece for my daughter for her prom. felt sorry for the young minimum wage girl that was trying

I used the Balmes in Gurnee, IL, for my wedding. They've been our family florist for as long as I can remember. They always did my flowers for dances in high school, and my mom always uses them when sending flowers for any occasion. I didn't shop around at all but honestly didn't need to. Our meeting took less than half an hour - I described what I wanted and they assured me it could be done. I really wanted to carry a wreath, but not a Christmasy wreath (our wedding was close to Christmas, but we didn't have a Christmas theme at all.) I asked for boxwood with ivory flowers
