Come Feel Like
Your Loveliest, Happiest,
Most Creative Self
In spring, we crave flower crowns and French bouquets. In fall, it’s moody dahlias, dark lipstick, and tablescapes that feel like they belong in a candlelit château. Around the holidays… Slices of oranges get strung into garlands, there’s Prosecco in the teacups, and the Sugar Plum Fairy waltzes her way through the speakers. And each season... there's something new to learn, blooms to savor, and friends to connect with. That's The Lily Chateau. Come and experience for yourself.

La Vie en Bloom
Straight from the Parisian ateliers, La Vie en Bloom is an intimate floral design workshop where you’ll learn to craft an elegant, hand-tied bouquet, the way the French do.
Loose, layered, effortlessly artful. Less formula, more feeling. You’ll work with premium seasonal stems, carefully selected textures, and learn the same technique taught in the heart of Paris.
With coffee (or champagne) in hand and laughter in the air, you’ll spend the morning basking in Spring's floral delights. And, you'll take home a floral masterpiece, the kind that makes a room feel instantly more alive, more yours.
Each workshop is limited to eight guests—for a truly hands-on, private experience.
Reserve a seat for your best friend and make a new beautiful memory together.

A Garden-Style Fête à la Pemberley
Step into a scene that could have been plucked from the pages of Austen.

You’ll design a loose, natural centerpiece using garden roses, tulips, vines, and spring textures in a color palette that feels both fresh and timeless.
Each workshop is limited to eight guests—for a truly hands-on, private experience.

The Crown Diaries
In The Crown Diaries, you’ll craft your own wearable flower crown using the best of late spring, delicate stems, trailing vines, soft blooms, and herbs that feel like they’ve been gathered just beyond the garden gate.
We’ll sip something lovely, nibble on slices of lemon cake, and weave flowers into halos like it’s second nature.
Each workshop is limited to eight guests—for a truly hands-on, private experience.
