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.

Ziggy Stardust could very well be reincarnated as the Callicarpa americana, and is in the November landscape, proving that the seventies never died in the garden. One of the most inconspicuous green summer shrubs turns into a 1970s star come late October and into November. I am referencing the purple beautyberry.

Cider mills and the sweet smells of autumn are steeping future memories within all Northerners. For city folk and suburban dwellers, a Sunday drive down a country road, during peak color, can take away the stressful noise of the week.

A creepy Halloween aesthetic doesn't always have to be centered around blood and gore. Sometimes just a touch of eerie is enough to create a spooky feeling.

The world of fall bulbs is vast and varied, yet my favorites are extremely narrow and exacting. My favorites are the naturalizers and tiny gems that peek out in the early throws of spring.

‘September Charm’ anemones have been lighting up the beds around town. Although a rather polarizing plant for some gardeners, I tend to find myself in the camp of adoration these days. I’ve come to welcome the fresh wave of blooms this time of the year. 

When your gardens have bloomed out at the end of summer, and you want to find a way to continue to enjoy the beauty, creating a fall wreath is a great option.

Warm colors, sophisticated patterns and a timeless mono floral arrangement is the inspiration for this cozy fall tablescape.
