LOCATION
Dear Lily Chateau is a destination to be seen.
A newly renovated in the style of French Chateau estate in North Raleigh. With the views of sprawling trees from all windows, and with thoughtfully hand-picked pieces of art. It's a place, where learning floral design is a treat for all the senses.
The full address and other details of this private estate will be shared privately.
HOW THE RETREAT FLOWS
The Dear Lily Château was envisioned as a bespoke jewel of beauty and art. Upon arrival, your team is invited to wander, explore, and settle into the atmosphere before the experience begins.
Each retreat lasts approximately 2.5–3 hours, depending on your group’s needs. Guests are welcomed with a hand-crafted espresso drink or a glass of bubbly — a gentle transition from the workday into something more intentional.
Once everyone is settled, the guided design journey begins.
Anya leads the experience with clarity, warmth, and engaging storytelling, simplifying the art of floral design and showing how to create arrangements that feel refined and effortlessly chic (yes, even with blooms from Trader Joe’s). Whether your team is seasoned or brand-new to flowers, every participant receives thoughtful guidance and support throughout.
Midway through, we pause briefly to refuel with freshly baked treats, selected to your team’s preference.
At the close of the retreat, each arrangement is carefully wrapped for safe transport. A tangible reminder of what the beauty one can create with their own hands.
Expect conversation.
Expect laughter.
Expect to feel renewed and inspired.
ALL LEVELS OF EXPERIENCE ARE WELCOME
Your team will experience a guided floral design journey, paired with engaging storytelling that fosters focus, connection, and creativity. All levels of experience are warmly welcomed.
