✿ Custom Commission

A piece designed around your moment.

Tell us the recipient, the room, the feeling — or leave it to us. We sketch the palette, source seasonally, and compose something made only for you.

  1. Conversation

    A short note to understand the moment — occasion, palette, and how it should feel when it arrives.

  2. Composition

    We design the palette and source from local growers and specialty markets the morning of.

  3. Delivery

    Hand-delivered across Chicagoland, composed to be received — not merely shipped.

✿ Events

Florals for occasions that matter most.

From intimate dinners to wedding installations, we design florals as part of the room — not an accessory to it. Our calendar stays intentionally small.

✿ The Studio · Chicago, IL

Small studio, quiet light.

Independent and women-led in Lincoln Park. Every commission begins with a conversation.

We believe flowers should feel personal — chosen with care, arranged by hand, and never the same twice. Lumen Stem Studio designs for clients who would rather have one beautiful thing than ten ordinary ones.

Ask Us Anything →

/ 01 How far in advance should I place my order?

For everyday arrangements, two to three days is ideal. Weddings and large events: reach out as soon as your date is firm so we can reserve studio time.

/ 02 Do you deliver, and where?

Yes — hand delivery across Chicagoland, with a focus on the North Side. Delivery windows are confirmed when we compose your order.

/ 03 Can I request specific flowers or colors?

Absolutely. Share a palette, a feeling, or named stems. If a bloom is out of season, we will propose a close seasonal stand-in.

/ 04 Do you offer wedding and event florals?

Yes. We take a limited number of events each season so each installation receives full attention. Start with an event inquiry.
