With a wave of the wand and a wrinkle of her nose, mother nature set a high temperature record for us Michigan folk this late February, then plunged us into a brief freezing spell. And yet, the early breathy warmth brings all of us outdoors to relish the minor miracle of promises of early spring.

Fresh, delicate, impactful—blooming branches are true statement pieces. In Michigan, our favorite blooming branches, such as quince, forsythia and magnolia are available around late February to early March, depending on weather.

If you've stepped onto our Bloomfield Hills design campus, you’ve witnessed firsthand our love for all things good design. If you follow our journey on social media, you are aware of our everlasting plant obsession.

As we dodge Cupid’s arrows and layer up to keep warm, we continue to build out and remodel our floral and interiors showrooms. This February brings aesthetic changes to our fleurdetroit campus once again, as we continue to grow and evolve in design. We look forward to unveiling many new treasures in the new spaces.

A winter dinner party is the perfect time to introduce a timeless dishware collection like the Ginori Oriente Italiano collection—a true example of a modern Renaissance aesthetic.

The winter solstice ushered in a wave of warm weather. The upper 50-degree weather breached the 60-degree mark briefly, long enough to soak in the springlike vibes on one of my many garden walks that week. The cardinals and chickadees danced in the branches, as they too knew, this anomaly of temperature was a gift before the winter slumber sets in. 

Displays of lush cut greenery bundles for sale are a true marking point of the arrival of the winter season. Their fragrance alone awakens your senses and transports you to a crisp winter day.

The holiday season is upon us, and it's time to deck the halls and infuse your home with the warmth of tradition and the spirit of celebration. One of our favorite traditions are German Christmas smokers.

Our shoppe is comprised of unique items sourced from all over the world. From intricate art nouveau pieces to modern resin decor, fleurdetroit speaks to every aesthetic.

The first snows fell in November and the extreme cold bite whispered her name—shocking the body, the gardens and the creatures that creep and fly amongst its branches. The December Snow Queen has come back to town early!

Between the perfectly curated garden statues, art objects from around the world, and coffee table books to transcend—with rare plants filling all the spaces in between, and accompanying fragrances to captivate our senses—fleurdetroit is quite a magical place every day. The addition of holiday décor only heightens the senses, creating a wonderful place beaming with design inspiration.

Tis the season of hosting, and a decadent seasonal brunch showcasing a mix of sweet and savory treats requires an array of serving pieces. We love the juxtaposition of a playful menu and formal dinnerware. Keep your guests intrigued at your next gathering by presenting your holiday brunch on your finest china.
