Avant Gardenia

Avant Gardenia is a Wheaton-based full-service floral and event design company focused on weddings, serving the Chicagoland area. Founded by Jenna Sprengel in 2009, the studio offers florals alongside lighting, drapery, dance floor covers, and rentals. Avant Gardenia handles florals, lighting, linens, and custom dance floor covers, treating each wedding as a custom project designed around the couple's style, vision, and budget. Avant Gardenia launched in 2009; owner Jenna Sprengel learned floral design at her grandparents' family-owned suburban flower shop, which operated for 35 years, and designed there through high school and college. Based in Wheaton, IL, serving suburban Chicagoland and Chicago; suburban wedding floral minimum is $6,500 and Chicago wedding minimum is $15,000 during peak season (May through December). Couples consistently praise the team's ability to interpret loosely defined visions and execute them precisely, highlight the quality and scale of arrangements from bridal bouquets to oversized centerpieces and table runners, and note that guests commented on the florals at nearly every event.
