Meet Paula

The designer behind every picnic, proposal, balloon installation and table at Chicago Luxury Picnic & Decoration by Paula.

Hi, I’m Paulina, but most clients call me Paula. My business started with luxury picnics in Chicago, and some of my very first picnic clients still book me today.

What began with picnics on the lakefront has grown into a full styling business. I now design picnics, proposals, balloon arches and garlands, fresh flower arrangements, backdrops and tablescapes for birthdays, baby showers, First Communions, weddings, holidays and small businesses.

I believe your celebration should look like you, not like a package. That is why I plan every setup personally, choose colors and flowers with you, and am there on the day with my small crew to make sure every detail is right. When it is over, we pack everything up so you can simply go home happy.

I am based on Chicago’s Northwest Side and work across the city, the lakefront and the suburbs. I speak English and Polish.

Working with Paula

What you can count on

One designer, start to finish

You talk to Paula from your first message to the moment the last cushion is packed. No hand-offs, no guessing who is in charge.

Real materials

Fresh flowers, real plates and glassware, cotton napkins, candles and quality balloons. Nothing about your setup should feel disposable.

Honest planning

Clear quotes, help choosing a location, and a weather plan for outdoor events. Paula reschedules picnics when rain is forecast.
