Dilly Lily

Florist

Ever since Dilly Lily first opened its doors, this high-end floral design shop and full-service floral event company located in historic Lincoln Park has specialized in delivering beautiful flowers to Chicago and many of its surrounding suburbs. Founded by Christine Noelle in 1997, she led the Dilly Lily team until 2016 when she sold the shop to another floral enthusiast, Rick McVey. The tradition of Christine’s distinct design style continues today under the direction of the talented team of floral stylists, many of whom she personally trained.

We readily admit to being flower snobs and only offer the highest quality novelty blooms available. Dilly Lily celebrates the beauty of all flowers though we have an affinity for those that are unusual and unconventional. It is this whimsical and often dramatic flair that our customers have come to expect from Dilly Lily’s floral creations. We choose the highest quality flowers, grown on sustainable, socially responsible farms located around the globe. Whenever available, we source local and organically grown product to stock our coolers.

Whether your style is modern, classic, contemporary, or casual, our designers can capture and translate your style. Dilly Lily is best known, however, for compact, colorful designs with a twist of the unexpected. Respecting the natural flow of each flower is important and our designers’ strengths lie in color combination and composition. Read more

    Oh how I miss Dilly Lily now that we are in burbs. There is no florist to compare with this one and whenever I am sending city flowers I use this creative, talented lovely team. TOP RATE in every aspect and I have been using them for almost a decade, business and personal, and have NEVER been disappointed. Friends always text me photos asking where these extraordinary floral arrangements come from. Stunning work, that is all I can say. And, with a smile - anyone who has ever assisted me there has been super accommodating. We had an unusually small, intimate wedding. Christine did my wedding flowers and treated me as if it were the event of her year and provided the most exquisite floral arrangements. This is a very special florist. If you want to send a stunning floral arrangement the likes of which won't be equaled than your confidence in Dilly Lily will be well placed.

    I worked for awhile with a business called We Deliver, the arrangements I picked up from this florist were spectacular so much so that when I had a friend go into the hospital I stopped in and ordered flowers from Dilly Lily and the recipient of the arrangement was so thrilled by the quality of the flowers and the arrangement !
