Gilded Lily

The Gilded Lily, a premier horticultural and decorative design service, was founded by Tim Arpin in 1989. With a degree from the College of DuPage, one of the largest horticultural programs in the United States, Tim brings a unique style and creativity to both indoor and outdoor environments and special events for residential and commercial clients.

Whether you're seeking understated elegance or all-out glamour, The Gilded Lily will create the perfect atmosphere using distinctive flowers, lush plants, decor, vibrant colors, and accent lighting. Our team also offers top-tier landscaping services, vegetable and herb gardening, container planting and maintenance, and more.

Seasonal Decor

At The Gilded Lily, we understand the importance of enjoying the holidays without the stress of decorating. That's why we offer a comprehensive seasonal decor service. Whether it's a single room or an entire house, we'll create a festive space for you, your family, and your guests to enjoy throughout the holiday season. Our themes are custom designed to transform your space into a one-of-a-kind winter wonderland. And when the holidays have passed, we'll return your space to its original design, ensuring you never have to lift a finger!

Our clients love the dramatic outdoor effects we bring to their homes and businesses with thousands of white or multi-colored lights that create a dazzling, attention-grabbing display. From festive and bright to vintage flourishes from days of Christmas past, whatever style you choose for your home or business, we'll bring it to life with an endless supply of custom designed wreaths, garlands, decor, and decorations.

Container Gardens

Container gardening is an art that brings year-round beauty to your outdoor space. Whether it's enhancing your front entrance or making your personal outdoor space more beautiful with lushness and color, we can make your vision a reality. We'll select the perfect containers for your home or office and fill them with beautiful seasonal flowers and plants year-round.

Strategically placed containers can create a focal point or privacy screen and add color, texture, and movement to hardscapes. We start with colorful spring plantings in March, add sweet-smelling summer flowers and herbs as the months progress, celebrate fall with items from the harvest, and winter with seasonal or holiday displays. Your containers will be breathtaking throughout the year.

Community Support

At The Gilded Lily, we believe in giving back to our community. That's why we're committed to supporting local causes and charities. We understand the importance of building strong relationships with our neighbors and fellow business owners, and we're always looking for new ways to contribute to the growth and development of our community.
