At CJE Design we believe in floral design that both elevates and illustrates your love story; in never before seen ways.
Understanding our client’s vision, style and taste and bringing them to life is what CJE Design excels at. A photo in a magazine or color palette may inspire the vision but it’s our creative process and endless internal brainstorms that bring the magic. Starting with breathtaking floral designs and décor, which is all done in house, to carefully curated rentals, linens, installations and stationery. These touches leave guests talking for weeks – months — after our events. The flow and seamless orchestration of an event are integral to the days success; the design and heartbeat is what sets the celebration apart and work in tandem with our planning services.

The design and events team exceeded all our expectations and brought our celestial, ethereal wedding vision to life with breathtaking perfection! From start to finish, every detail was flawlessly executed, creating a magical atmosphere at The Peninsula that truly felt like a dream.

We worked with Katy to plan our wedding--would definitely recommend 10/10! My husband and my wedding was on a tight timeline with only eight months to plan it. Katy did a phenomenal job getting everything together, keeping us on track, and securing amazing vendors! We're also both lawyers and are used to things being well organized, but Katy consistently went above and beyond. We also do not live in Chicago, and Katy made it so easy to get everything done remotely and be our eyes and ears on the ground.
The biggest benefit of working with Katy and the Christine Janda team, however, was that they make truly beautiful events! Katy and Giora created such a beautiful space for our wedding reception with their floral and design expertise, incorporating Chicago wildflowers and our backgrounds into the venue at the University Club of Chicago. The captain on staff at the University Club even told us at the end of the night how it was the most beautiful reception he had seen at the Club, and he had worked over 200 weddings there.
We're so grateful for Katy for bringing our special day together and making it so perfect!

We used Christine and her team for our florals for our wedding! Giora who took lead on florals and design and Sami who delivered were amazing. Giora was so attentive, communicative, always there to help and of course perfectly executed on what I was going for. The flowers were beautiful and fresh. The team was professional and so kind.

The flower design Christine Janda provided will leave your guests stunned. Usually florals are supporting characters on wedding days, but the Janda team and Giora made them the star of the show for ours. We wanted a romantic but fun vibe for our design and the team delivered and then some. Every recommendation that had played together perfectly including the pink candle colors and the use of floral toile designs on the risers to tie everything together. The work was thoughtful and truly beautiful. I want to live in the world they created for us everyday of my life. They created something so special and stunning, I couldn’t dream of using another floral and design team

That Arch! An exquisite floral framing for a beautiful ceremony. I can't stop looking at the photos of Delaney & Patrick, and everyone is still buzzing about it today. From the arch, to our event space, and including our gorgeous bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages, your design was perfect! Everything about Delaney & Patrick's special day exceeded my expectations. Thank you to you and your team for making it all seem so easy.

Christine and her team are incredible!! They are full service event planners, but we hired them solely for our florals. We have had a five star experience from day one. Our floral designer, Giora, took the time to really listen to our vision, understand our likes and dislikes, and create our dream proposal all within our budget. Going into the floral sample, I was still a little nervous because I am pretty particular about what I like. However, Giora’s design blew me away. I was so happy, I felt like I could cry. The florals leaned towards tropical without being overt. They were neutral without being too white. The accessories were modern without being too cold. It was honestly everything I asked for. We did not have a huge, extravagant budget, but I always felt listened to and valued. Our wedding is in a few months, and I am confident everything is going to go smoothly and look stunning. Thank you so much for your kindness, professionalism, and extreme attention to detail.
