The haze in the air at midday, the chirps from the crickets in the high grass, the chill from a sweaty glass of freshly squeezed lemonade, mosquitos telling never ending stories too close to the ear—these are a few of the many moments in the overture of a July day.

Our summer floral collection introduces the perfect amount of sunshine. Inspired by balmy summer mornings and golden hours, this bold collection is fresh, fun, and overall sunny.

If you're looking for a simple and rewarding beginner planting project, a tabletop succulent garden is a great start! Succulents are water-storing plants that require minimal water and care. Succulents can easily adapt to dry humidity, and come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors.

Raven Oaks Farm, a certified organic farm is his latest brainchild and passion project. As with the other companies, his Midas touch has struck again. There is an environmental ethos carefully thought through, which underpins the historical reverence yet has a modernity to the direction taken.

Longer sunny days call for dinner parties, and dinner parties call for a well-curated table. This month we were inspired by all things ‘New England coastal’ and created the most fun and refreshing tablescape.

Farms, fields, flower beds and festive gatherings are all at the pinnacle of beautiful production in June. As our garden shoppes shout the colors of the season, the floral atelier, too, adds to the cacophony with plans and preparations for wonderful events to come. It is quite apparent that June is here at fleurdetroit.   

Our curated selections to help celebrate the special women in your life.

After planning hundreds of weddings in my career, it was a very interesting feeling to become the groom planning our own special day. Finally putting myself on the sofa, and being asked all the questions that I so easily ask our couples.

The month that paints the hummingbird’s breast and fills flowers with nectar can never disappoint! As one who likes to garden, I look forward to May’s progress in my woodlands and meadow thickets. I spend the winter walking the gardens, observing wildlife patterns and planning for the planting season. The season is here! It’s time to implement all those garden wishes.

Look to the wonderful natural elements of spring to create modern, yet traditional table settings. Mixing modern with vintage creates a colorful and eye-catching memorable place setting to host this season.

Spring has arrived in Michigan and outdoors we have begun working with some of our favorite cold-hardy plants: pansies and hellebores.

Flowers have the power to invoke feelings among all. From a child picking dandelions to proudly take home and give to their parents, to lovers giving flowers to one another—reminding people how loved and appreciated they are.
