You deserve a wedding day that feels as effortless as a garden in full bloom. We create airy arrangements that capture the quiet joy of your story, ensuring every petal is thoughtfully placed and every moment feels like home.
It is a collection of sensory memories like the scent of garden roses, the movement of a hand-tied bouquet, and the energy that pulls your guests into the celebration. When you work with a Chicago florist who listens carefully, you can remain present while every detail unfolds beautifully around you.
Rooted in a love for organic, garden-style design, our studio brings a breath of fresh air to Chicago’s most storied venues. We handle the logistics, installations, and intricate mechanics behind each bouquet and centerpiece so you can focus on what matters most.
With a background in education and a bilingual heritage, we prioritize clear communication and genuine connection above all else. You are supported by a team that values your time, respects your budget, and treats your wedding day florals with the thoughtful artistry it deserves.
designed for your celebration
For couples envisioning a complete floral transformation, our full-service wedding florals cover every detail. We design custom concepts, visit your venue, and plan each installation with care. From bridal bouquets and wedding floral centerpieces to statement ceremony pieces and large-scale installations, our team manages floral delivery in Chicago, setup, and late-night breakdown so you can stay fully present on your wedding day.
Luxury wedding flower arrangements are not limited to grand ballrooms. We design curated florals for intimate weddings and elopements across Chicago, bringing the same garden-inspired artistry to smaller guest lists. This option provides the same sensory-driven artistry and professional care as my larger events, scaled for smaller guest counts and private ceremonies.
Our flower arrangement workshops in Chicago are designed for private groups of 6 to 20 guests. Perfect for bridal showers, birthdays, team gatherings, or creative celebrations, we bring the experience directly to your chosen location. We provide premium blooms, vases, tools, and all materials needed so your group can relax, create, and enjoy a beautiful hands-on experience together.
Beyond the wedding day, we share the gift of design through community and education.
My path to floral design began in my aunt’s shop, but it was my own wedding in 2017 that truly revealed the "Zen" of the craft. After two decades in education, I discovered that the same skills I used in the classroom: preparation, communication, and attention to detail, were exactly what elevated wedding floral centerpieces and large-scale installations.
I launched MJM Occasions to serve Chicago couples who value organic beauty and refined service. Today, I bring that foundation of preparation and thoughtful planning into every wedding flower arrangement I design. My work blends organic, garden-style beauty with careful execution, creating a calm and intentional experience for Chicago couples who want their wedding florals to feel effortless and deeply personal.
Floral design is deeply personal, we take time to listen carefully, understand your vision, and ensure you and your family feel comfortable throughout the process. Consultations are offered in both English and Spanish, creating a welcoming space where everyone feels included and understood from the very first conversation.
Our wedding flower arrangements are designed to do more than just look beautiful. I think about how a bouquet feels in your hands, how garden roses perfume the air, and how floral centerpieces move naturally as guests gather around the table. Every detail is considered so your celebration feels immersive, romantic, and alive.
Luxury can be beautiful and responsible at the same time. Our studio operates foam-free and is powered by solar energy, minimizing environmental impact without compromising design. We also partner with The Green Petal Project, a nonprofit that collects post-event flowers and redistributes them to hospitals, nursing homes, and community spaces. For the past year, this collaboration has allowed your wedding florals to continue bringing joy long after the last dance.
From the high-stakes designs of Married at First Sight: Chicago to the pages of People Magazine, our organic, garden-style wedding flower arrangements have been recognized for their magnetic quality and refined detail. We are proud to bring that same level of expertise and intentional design to every wedding and event we touch.
"Working with MJM for our wedding was an amazing overall experience! On the day of the event, everything turned out PERFECT!
They put together a beautiful proposal deck for us with a high level of detail, and worked with us and our planner until we put together a plan that worked best for our desired look and budget. There were no issues with delivery or clean up. We absolutely recommend Monica and her team for your wedding or special event.”

"Monica, you were exceptional! Thanks for all the help and for guiding us in this journey. We loved our flowers and definitely made our day beautiful and special because you designed for us."
- Claudia
"I loved working with Monica on our micro-wedding!
This was during COVID, we had a tight timeline and budget and Monica was thorough, flexible, and made it work. I ended up choosing flowers that were not in season and hard to come by and she found ways to spotlight them. I highly recommend Monica to anyone looking for a talented and hardworking floral designer!”
