Displays Up for Memorial Day, Removed Labor Day
At Luxe Pumpkins, we are pivoting our renowned fall styling expertise to offer the America 250 Edit, celebrating the American spirit with unrivaled elegance.
Typically, we believe in less is more. However, as the Greater Chicago area prepares to recognize the historical semiquincentennial, we are preparing a gorgeous "more is more" America 250 edit for the estates of Hinsdale, Oak Brook, and Chicago's surrounding elite neighborhoods. This once-in-a-lifetime event demands a bespoke, sophisticated visual tribute all summer long.
The Luxe Patriotic Summer Edit
The America 250 Edit should feel like an extension of the home’s architecture, not a holiday afterthought. Our designs utilize premium, live botanical elements and artisanal textiles to create an envy-inducing summer display:
-
High-Quality Bunting: We source exclusive, heavy-gauge cotton buntings in crisp white or tea-stained tones from generational flag makers that evoke a sense of history and "quiet luxury."
-
Historical Flag Curation: Your display features the American flag paired with your choice of a historically significant companion: the Grand Union flag, the Betsy Ross, or the official America 250 flag. Every installation includes a dedicated solar light for the American flag to ensure the colors fly proudly and properly after dark. (It's a flag rule!)
-
Bespoke Boxwood Wreaths: Your grand entrance is adorned with preserved boxwood wreaths featuring custom-embroidered sashes, personalized with your family name and the year.
-
True-Red Floral Installations: We replace the common with the extraordinary. We use only real, vibrant botanicals. Never fake. Choose from tiered arrangements of true-red hydrangeas or deep red velvet geraniums.
Luxe Note on Hydrangeas: The name literally means "water vessel." These high-performance blooms require daily care in July and August. If your lifestyle doesn't allow for daily watering, our red velvet geraniums provide that same "American flag red" with added heat resistance and a more approachable price point.
-
Designer Vessel Selection: We curate the pot to match your architecture. While we offer aged clay and terracotta, our 2026 favorite is the true navy resin pot. Since Mother Nature doesn't produce navy blooms, this creates the perfect patriotic trio against red flowers and white spillers.
-
Custom Welcome Mat: A personalized greeting for your guests, customized with your family’s name.
-
Evening Glow Lighting Package: Beyond flag illumination, we provide warm-toned solar uplighting to provide an evening glow, ensuring your estate remains the talk of the neighborhood long after the sun sets.
More is More for 2026
Installation & Pricing: Your display is professionally installed before Memorial Day and meticulously removed after Labor Day. This allows you to celebrate all summer long. Installations begin at $2,000, with the flexibility to choose a curated selection of a few components or the full-scale estate transformation.
Secure Your Place in History
Ensure your home stands as the premier example of American elegance in your community. Whether you are hosting a grand gala in Clarendon Hills or an intimate cocktail party in Burr Ridge, our styling ensures your guests arrive to a spectacular, Instagrammable moment.
The America 250 Package is limited to a select number of homes in the Greater Chicago area due to the exclusivity of our artisanal textiles and floral sources. Early booking is essential to guarantee your place on our summer calendar.
