One of the world’s most celebrated floral exhibitions is returning to Chicago this spring. 900 North Michigan Shops, a landmark destination on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, will host the globally acclaimed Fleurs de Villes FLORA, bringing a fashion-forward floral experience to the center from May 21- 25, 2026. The Memorial Day weekend exhibition will transform the luxury retail environment into an immersive gallery of spring couture-inspired fresh floral installations, created by Chicago’s talented floral designers.
As part of 900 Shops’ ongoing commitment to elevated programming, Fleurs de Villes FLORA invites visitors to explore a curated collection of 15 floral mannequins, each crafted by Chicagoland florists. Staged throughout the center’s seven floors, the installations merge fashion and florals, bringing spring blooms to life in a public-facing space in the heart of the city. Bloomingdale’s, an anchor retailer within 900 Shops and key Fleurs de Villes partner, will sponsor a mannequin within the exhibit.
“The return of Fleurs de Villes to 900 Shops reflects our continued focus on creating immersive, design- driven experiences for our guests,” said Taylor Howard, Director of Marketing at 900 North Michigan Shops. “Each year, this exhibition brings together fashion, creativity and the incredible talent of Chicago’s floral community.”
Participating floral designers include Bradley Stylish Events, Da Vinci Rose Flower Co., ElleAndree Floral, Event Floral, Flowerlife, Glam It Up Events, Honey Street Flowers, LUSH Flower Bar, Kira’s Flowers, M Events Company, The Shy Flower, The Sunniest Designs, RUE de FLEURS, and Zins Flower Shop.
In addition to the installations, The Canopy – 900 Shops’ 190-foot digital tapestry – will feature a floral- inspired presentation by computational arts duo Hypereikon, offering a new view of blooms through a contemporary digital lens. Visitors can also enjoy free spring-inspired floral demos led by local florists and vote for their favorite mannequin for a chance to win a luxurious one night stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Chicago and a $250 900 North Michigan Shops gift card. Select 900 Shops’ retailers will also offer flower-themed activations. For an extended FLORA experience, guests can discover two more stunning floral mannequins on display at The Ritz-Carlton, Chicago and Four Seasons Hotel Chicago.
“We’re delighted to return to Chicago and partner with 900 North Michigan Shops to present FLORA,” said Karen Marshall, Co-Founder of Fleurs de Villes. “This exhibition celebrates the creativity of local floral designers while transforming everyday spaces into something truly extraordinary.”
