For the past thirty years, owner Connie Rigas has been present in the art and design culture of Chicago. From a successful career in the fashion industry to designing window displays on Oak Street. Recently she got up the gusto with her loads of experience in design to open up her own contemporary flower boutique; Fleur de lis.

Connie, knowing how innovative design should be and how broad her client's tastes are has hired employees who all have unique skill sets. The designers on staff have impeccable knowledge of worldly traditions and are well-versed in the gallery scene, but what impresses us are their skills ranging from epicurean know-how to communications and graphic arts which add to Fleur de lis' versatility.

Together they work their magic in a one of a kind turn-of-the-century coach house located in the Gallery district of Chicago's River North neighborhood. Actually the space used to be an art gallery called Adam. The most amazing part of the store is the enormous skylight over the main work station- its the loft with even more natural light where the flower shop holds wedding and event consultations. In the store you can find fresh flowers, potted plants, and seasonal blooming plants and bulbs, gifts, and some pretty stellar jewelry.
