 Hello,
and thank you for visiting our online shop! My name is Dragica
and I am the owner, we'd like you to
know about us and what we do.
In my home
country, Croatia, I owned my first flower shop. After working
for other shops in and around our town it became clear to me
that I had a natural "green thumb" and an unlimited passion for
designing flowers. In 1990 I moved my business aspirations to
the beautiful city of Chicago.
It wasn't easy, but finally
in July of 1992 I became the owner of A & A Floral Arts. Among
other improvements over the years, 1995 marked the opening of
our web site and it's been wonderful working for our internet
customers. I am the third owner of the business and I am proud
that our little firm has hung around all these years.
Our first
location was 1629 W. Belmont in the Lakeview area, and in 1997
we moved across the street to 1652 W. Belmont. Recently we
changed our location again and this time we've found ourselves
in the famous Lincoln Square area of Chicago. Our new address is
4610 N. Western Ave., and it is beautiful here, everyday I
welcome new customers to our shop and so far so good!
We are
independent, and that means we've cut the middle-man out. By not
using network services like FTD, 800-Flowers or Teleflora we
maintain a direct connection with our customers. One size does
not fit all, that's why we offer fully customizable products to
our buyers. One of the most rewarding experiences in our
business is closely working with a newly engaged couple, we are
proud of bringing the art and beauty of flowers to your
weddings, now for over 15 years.
Our suppliers
are handpicked by myself, so I can personally guarantee the
quality of every blossom. We know that our flowers are happy
flowers, and that makes for a happy customer, at the end of the
day there is no greater satisfaction.
