Event Flowers
Leelee’s Garden is a Chicago based boutique flower studio specializing in immersive , garden-inspired floral design for events. We are experience makers. Flower wizards. We’re here to bring your event vision to life…
LOVED working with Leelee! I cannot recommend her any more highly! Everything from beginning to end was seamless.
After having some difficulty with a previous florist, I knew within 5 minutes of talking that I had found the perfect person to make my dream a reality. Everything was just absolutely perfect!

What can we create?
Anything… If you dream it, we’ll make it.
Unique Installations.
This is our specialty. Whether you want a photo backdrop for your guests, an immersive floral experience for your brand, or a dreamy midsummer night’s dream aerial installation for your dinner party, we can create magic moments with flowers.
Custom Centerpieces.
If you’re hosting an all-hands day or a big birthday bash, we will work with you to create just the right look for your tables with custom centerpieces. From green and neutrals to big pops of color to match your brand or event theme, we can create garden inspired centerpieces for every table.
Details for every corner.
We incorporate small designs to complete your look. Need something else? Plant rentals or your product dripping in blooms? We can create what you need for your unique event.

When I say Leelee is a true visionary, a master craftsperson, and a wizard of an artist, those words don't even do enough justice to her talent.
Hire her for your wedding, hire her for your events, just hire her. You'll wonder why you ever considered any other florists!

Leelee made my life so much easier in planning a hanging floral installation for an engagement party. The end result was stunning and working with her was so seamless.
She helped create a beautiful vibe within my budget, bringing my vision to life, and came to set up and take down without me having to be there on the busy morning. Highly recommend if you like a bespoke floral installation in your space.

Kind words from a few more of our clients…
Leelee and her team did an excellent job, from the planning stages to execution. I would highly recommend Lee Lee's Garden for your next corporate or private event!
- Eric F.
Every single piece was incredibly beautiful and unique. Do not hesitate to hire Leelee! Her attention to detail is unmatched and everything she makes is creative and beautiful.
- L Copeland
LeeLee was super professional and up front about everything - there were no surprises (which I cannot say about many event vendors I've worked with). As an event planner, I am one to stress about little details but LeeLee took care of everything so I did not have to worry.
- Annie Schmaeling
LeeLee has been an absolute GEM to work with over the last few years. I have planned several corporate events with her and she delivers every single time. Her attention to detail, as well as her ability to engage is unlike anyone else I have worked with. Grateful for LeeLee's Garden!

Have a question? We’ve got answers…
-
Yes. For event flowers, our overall minimum, including taxes and delivery fees, is $950. For full service weddings, our minimum is $3500.
-
Yes, If you prefer a quote online only, let us know in your inquiry. Serious inquiries only please, as all our quotes are custom and can take 1-2 hours to complete.

We source our flowers from a variety of sources:
- A distributor. Especially for events November to April, we source from a local wholesale distributor who sources flowers locally and all over the world.
- We grow our own. There is a small Leelee’s Garden (my actual garden), where I grow my own cut flowers. If our growing season aligns with your event, and our flowers align with your look, you’ll find our fresh grown dahlias, zinnias, cosmos, smoke bush (my favorite!) and other flowers mixed in with your event flowers.
- Locally grown flowers. We work with several farms to source local blooms in the midwest growing season. If this is important to you, please let us know and we can do as much local sourcing as possible.
Regarding sustainability, we are committed to continuously improving our impact on the planet. Steps we’ve taken so far are eliminating as much as possible the use of floral foam, which leads to microplastic waste, and reusing all of our hard goods and materials. We also dry for future use as many flowers as we can.

Let’s talk! For the most part we work in the Chicagoland area. If you love our work and are interested in having us work your away event, fill out the form on this page and we can talk about further afield floral options!
-
Since we do not have a shop open to the public (and the day to day flowers on hand of an a la carte flower shop) at this point we do not take one-off floral orders. We can create floral designs for smaller events, but have an overall minimum of $975. We are considering smaller a la carte ordering in the future, so if you're interested, please sign up for our newsletter to be the first to hear about offering updates.

While everyone sees pricing differently, if you’re wondering this, let’s tackle it head on. A few reasons…
1) Flowers and plants are grown and transported to Chicago from both local producers and growers around the world. The cultivation, care and transport of plants and cut flowers in 2024 is costly and has increased 20%+ in the last few years.
2) Our pricing reflects our 8 years of experience as a florist and artistry.
3) We are a small business and take care to pay our employees and contractors fair wages for work in a large city.
4) Beyond sharing our why on pricing, know that behind every event is typically many days of hours of work for our team, between purchasing, pickup, processing (we cut and prepare every stem before even designing), designing, and day of loading and installation.
