About The Owner
Angelica Villegas: A Blossoming Journey of Creativity and Inspiration. Angelica Villegas's story is a testament to the power of passion, resilience, and the enduring love for her craft. With her roots deeply embedded in her mother's floral legacy, Anita Garcia, who founded Angelica's Florist in Little Village 38 years ago, Angelica's journey began. Growing up surrounded by her mother's boundless passion for floristry, Angelica started working alongside her at the tender age of 5. As she blossomed, Anita recognized her daughter's potential and encouraged her to explore new horizons. At the age of 13, Angelica embraced classic balloon design, adding a vibrant dimension to her artistic repertoire. After an impressive 22 years in the floral business, Anita decided to close her doors. However, Angelica's entrepreneurial spirit and artistic calling were far from quelled. She continued her journey by raising a family and excelling as a store manager for a retail store, learning invaluable skills in business management and retail display design. With the unwavering support of her mother and husband, Angelica ventured into new business ventures. She started at flea markets and craft shows, sharing her creative talents with the world. Tragedy struck in 2012 with her mother's passing, but Angelica found solace and strength in continuing her artistic pursuits. Together with her husband, she opened a kiosk at Louis Joliet Mall in Joliet, Illinois, and also continued selling her creations at flea markets and craft shows. In 2018, facing another difficult loss with the passing of her husband, Angelica embarked on a transformative journey to Mexico City. There, she encountered Chef Yuri O. Villela, whose passion for pastry inspired her to explore new avenues of floral and balloon design. Completing several courses under Yuri's guidance, Angelica was reignited with her love for her craft. In 2022, a pivotal moment arrived when Chef Yuri invited her to teach classes side by side at her studio in Mexico City. Through this opportunity, Angelica found fulfillment in inspiring other female entrepreneurs while further honing her own skills. As her journey came full circle, Angelica discovered her true calling. With a burning desire to share her passion and knowledge, she founded Party Blossom Boutique. This space became a haven where she could showcase her artistry, deliver products that brought smiles to people's faces, and offer her expertise to those who aspired to create their own magical events. Today, Angelica Villegas stands as a beacon of creativity and inspiration, carrying her mother's legacy forward while crafting a flourishing path of her own. Her story serves as a testament to the invulnerable spirit of an artist, forever dedicated to the pursuit of beauty and the joy of spreading happiness through her craft.
