I had been looking for a floral type workshop for a birthday party and came across Leelee’s page, and I was immediately sold! Her responsiveness, kindness, and flexibility was greatly appreciated. I decided on a terrarium workshop and we were able to receive the materials ahead of time with clear instructions to do a DIY experience with 20 guests. The quality of the materials and air plants were fantastic, and there were many compliments on this activity by the end of the party! If you’re looking for an authentic, fun, and unique experience, I cannot recommend Leelee’s Garden enough!

Working with Leann at Leelee’s Garden was an absolute dream and our wedding wouldn't have been as magical without her.
My husband and I told her we wanted our wedding to feel like an intimate garden party with our favorite people, featuring loose, organic blooms as if we had just plucked them from the garden to bring indoors. She captured that vibe flawlessly with beautiful blush, cream, and olive florals and greenery perfectly bridged our ceremony in Grant Park and our reception at The Dawson. We received a ton of compliments from our guests, who could not believe the incredible quality of the flowers!
Leann is a true professional with a transparent, no-pressure approach. She was so accommodating during the planning process and incredibly easy to brainstorm with, especially when I wanted to design a bouquet that incorporated jasmine and a nod to my mother-in-law's own wedding bouquet with a couple of weeks left to the order date. She was also available for venue walkthroughs, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing she personally oversees the larger parts of the installation.
Her full-service minimum is incredibly reasonable and she never once tried to upsell us. We loved her vision so much that we voluntarily added a lush stair installation, and bar meadows. Her team even went above and beyond to transport the fully-decorated arch from our ceremony to the reception venue so we could repurpose it as a gorgeous backdrop for our photo booth!
If you want a wildly talented florist who makes the entire process stress-free, hire Leann and the Leelee's Garden Team.

Blooms That Took Our Breath Away
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Leelee and Leelee's Garden. From our very first conversation, Leelee listened carefully to everything we were looking for and delivered results that far exceeded our expectations. The flowers were absolutely stunning — vibrant, colorful, and so beautifully presented that our guests spent the entire evening complimenting the arrangements.
What truly set Leelee apart was her dedication on the wedding day itself. After designing and setting up our outdoor ceremony flowers, she personally hauled every arrangement to our reception venue and transformed our sweetheart table into something truly magical. That kind of above-and-beyond effort does not go unnoticed, and it meant the world to us.
Leelee has a rare gift for taking a couple's vision and bringing it to life in a way that feels both personal and breathtaking. If you are looking for a florist who will pour her heart into your wedding flowers and knock it completely out of the park, Leelee's Garden is the only call you need to make.

Leelee’s Garden brought our floral vision to life in the most breathtaking way for both our Indian and American wedding ceremonies. From the very beginning, Leelee took the time to truly understand what I was envisioning — offering multiple iterations, thoughtful feedback, and even bringing sample arrangements so we could see everything come to life before the big day.
She created a stunning mandap that felt both elegant and warm, and the garlands coordinated beautifully with our outfits and the overall setting. Leelee’s creativity, professionalism, and genuine care made the entire process so easy and enjoyable. She was very easy to work with and responsive to all our questions. We’re so thankful for her and would recommend Leelee’s Garden to anyone looking for timeless and beautiful florals for their wedding day!

It sounds cliché, but I truly cannot say enough about how spectacular both Leelee and her work are. We got married at the Joinery in Chicago, and Leelee is on their preferred vendor list. I had also seen her work on the venue's Instagram page. I came to Leelee with a couple of specific ideas but mostly had what felt like a jumbled slideshow of Instagram/Pinterest screenshots. After our informational call, she identified the trends in everything I had sent and told her, and put together an incredibly thoughtful, thorough, and gorgeous proposal. From the beginning, I feel like we really clicked, and Leelee sounded genuinely excited and passionate about my ideas and our event - she was like one of our personal cheerleaders! We did have some budget constraints, which I was honest about from the beginning, and throughout the planning process, Leelee was very mindful of them and was thoughtful about how to make our vision work within those limits. I didn't end up feeling like we had to compromise on anything. She was communicative throughout the entire process, paid attention to every detail, and even came to our final walk-through just to meet us face-to-face and finalize details, which felt WAY above and beyond. Our disco meadow was truly a dream come true, and to make things even better, Leelee and her team took care of every single detail day-of. All there was for us to do was hold the bouquets and admire/gush about every aspect of the florals. When we started the wedding planning process, I thought of floral as just a box I needed to check, but Leelee took things to a level I only could have dreamed of, and now looking back, it is one of my absolute favorite parts of the day. Don't think twice about reaching out to her!
