Venue Decorations & Event Styling in Chicago

Chicago Luxury Picnic & Decoration by Paula styles restaurants, banquet halls and private rooms with fresh flowers, layered tablescapes and photo-ready backdrops, so your venue feels like your celebration across Chicago and the suburbs.

You book the venue. Paula makes it feel like yours. She designs the flowers, the tables and the backdrop as one look, then installs everything before your guests arrive and takes it down after.

If you have been searching for event decorators in Chicago, a party decorator for a restaurant private room or someone to handle the table décor for a shower or birthday dinner, you have probably noticed that most vendors do only one piece. Paula does the whole room. Her portfolio runs from a glass-roofed conservatory dinner with white roses to a high-rise room with downtown views, a burgundy and rose dinner at a beauty salon and boho long tables under macrame and hanging greenery. Each one started with the client’s colors and the shape of the room.

Flower Arrangements

Fresh, garden-style flowers are what guests lean in to look at. Paula arranges centerpieces, bud vases, floral garlands down long tables and statement pieces for entrances, chosen to match your colors and the season. Restaurants book her for their private events too.

Backdrops

Every event needs one spot where everyone takes a photo. Paula builds draped fabric backdrops, flower walls, LOVE letters, candlelit welcome signs and balloon-framed panels, placed where the light is good and the crowd can gather.

Tablescapes

Guests sit at the table for hours, so it carries the whole mood of the evening. Paula layers runners, chargers, plates, napkins, candles, menus and flowers into a table that feels designed from end to end.

Frequently asked questions

Do you provide tables and chairs?

Paula styles the tables your venue already has, with linens, runners, chargers, plates, napkins, candles and flowers. For picnic-style events she brings her own low wooden tables. If you need standard tables or chairs, your venue or a rental company supplies them and Paula styles on top.

Do you work with restaurants and banquet halls?

Yes. Paula regularly styles private rooms and event spaces at Chicago restaurants, including fresh flower arrangements for private events at Eden in Roscoe Village. She coordinates setup time and access with the venue before your event.

Are the flowers fresh?

Yes. Paula designs with fresh flowers in garden-style arrangements, from single bud vases down a long table to large centerpieces and floral garlands. Tell her your colors and she will choose blooms that suit the season.

Do you provide food or catering?

No. Paula is a décor designer and is not licensed to prepare or serve food. Your venue, restaurant or a licensed caterer handles the menu, and Paula styles the room and tables around it.

Can you decorate for holidays?

Yes. When picnic season ends, Paula styles Thanksgiving tables, Christmas décor for homes and businesses, wreaths and Valentine’s Day setups. Holiday dates book early, so reach out as soon as you know your plans.
