Tis the season of pumpkins and ghosts! Halloween is such a fun holiday for decorating. Whether your go-to Halloween style is ultra-gory and creepy or classically cute, incorporating touches of the spooky season into your decor is always so much fun.

While we're enjoying the cooler temperatures of fall, plants are as well. Fall is an excellent time to plant pansies, bulbs, and woody ornamentals.

As the October owls fly and HOOT into the autumn eve, I would love to share HOOT makes up the talented Fleurdetroit family!

As the leaves begin to change, and the weather starts to cool, we transition our warm and sunny décor to a more neutral and natural palette. Using seasonal décor mixed with vintage fine china, we’ve created an early autumnal natural table that truly sets the tone for the upcoming season.

Our summer floral collection is full of bright, bold color and an overall cheery aesthetic. There are four different designs, in varying sizes perfect for any occasion from birthday gifts, to anniversary, to ‘just because.’

Our lead floral designer, Mallory, shows us how to build a transitional garden arrangement with a color palette of deep purples, muted greens, and pops of yellow—perfect for the changing seasons.

The magic that struck in September so many years ago…Over a decade ago, in the very month of September, Joe and I decided to begin collecting, importing, and more importantly curating a collection of garden ornament for use in our landscape projects. This initial trip to Europe was the jumping off point for fleurdetroit. We wanted to create a space that evoked a welcoming energy for all to experience design through our eyes.

Keeping our furry friends safe from toxic house plants is a responsibility we all have. But you don’t have to sacrifice great plants to have a curious pet safe home. Below are a few of our favorite house plants that are also safe for your dog and cat if they happen to munch a leaf or stem.

Designing a wedding can be overwhelming but still incredibly fun. The day is a blank slate and sometimes thinking outside the box can have beautiful results.

We know the human condition is driven by our experiences, and senses arising from moments laced with sights, sounds, scents and emotions. These memories and moments, annealed into our minds, are transfixed into our individual or collective psyche.

Sweet, sweet summertime. The buzz of bees in the air on a sunny day accompanied by a warm breeze. We love creating an inviting tablescape for summer celebrations.

Elizabeth and Spencer's wedding day was two and a half years in the making, including thousands of hours of planning, enduring a pandemic, and changing venues 6 months before the wedding!
