Floral atelier · Chicago

We don't sell from a catalogue — we compose with the season.

Seasonal flowers, French design — in Chicago. Bouquets hand-composed from local growers, as a subscription for your home or business, for your wedding, and in hands-on workshops. From the French Alps to Chicago, every arrangement is unique.

The 5pm charter

No catalogue. Just the season, at its best.

Three commitments, kept with every stem. We work in season, because a flower at its peak needs no forcing — it simply shines. We keep no catalogue, because the morning market decides what's beautiful today — not a photo from last year. And we answer for quality: local growers, composed by hand the same morning, freshness guaranteed.

  1. A hand-tied seasonal bouquet

    Delivered, fresh

    Brought to your door, ready to live with — and to surprise you, every single time.

The flower subscription

Choose your rhythm.
We'll handle the rest.

Every delivery is a surprise, composed the same morning from the finest arrivals of the day. You don't pick the flowers — you pick the pace.

Inside the atelier

Born in the French Alps — blooming in Chicago.

Meet Agathe

The face behind the flowers.

Hi — I'm Agathe, founder of 5pm lab. Born from Borgona, my floral design studio in France, 5pm lab is the next chapter of a creative journey now unfolding across the Atlantic. Rooted in nature, light and emotion, it's a space where art meets everyday life — where flowers, textures and objects become stories shaped by the calm of the golden hour.

Here in Chicago, I keep exploring a more intentional way of creating : a lab for ideas, beauty and connection. Bienvenue to 5pm lab.

Word of mouth

Rated 4.9 / 5 by the couples we've flowered.

11 verified reviews on Mariages.net — recommended by 99% of couples, from Agathe's years in France.

I fell in love with Agathe's work and went for it eyes closed — no regrets. From the bridal bouquet to the table décor, everything was perfect.
MélanieWedding · Mariages.net, 5/5
She understood right away the wedding we wanted. Her arrangements still live in our home, long after the day. I recommend her eyes closed.
CyrielleWedding · Mariages.net, 5/5
Agathe spent considerable time on my requests — always with the same smile and eye for detail. On the day, everything was flawless.
MarineWedding · Mariages.net, 4.8/5
Her compositions were magnificent — the tables, the lectern, my bouquet. Every single guest went home with a piece of the flowers.
LaurenceWedding · Mariages.net, 5/5
A beautiful person — you can feel the love she puts into her compositions. She composes around you, your wishes, and knows how to guide you.
