Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 12th and our collection to celebrate Mom is divine. With sizing options from an effortless hand-tied to premium table arrangements, there’s an option for everyone! Send some luxurious spring blooms to Mom this Mother’s Day.

Introducing our Mother's Day Gift Guide, where we've carefully crafted categories to cater to every type of mom. Whether she's a green-thumbed garden enthusiast, a person who loves entertaining or a design connoisseur, we've got you covered with our selections. May is the month dedicated to celebrating the incredible women in our lives, and we believe in making it extra special.

On May mornings, just prior to the crisp air giving way to the sun’s touch, new life stirs. The spring season is assuredly in full swing. This year we have been lucky to have a paragon of blooming trees, free from the bite of frost or shredding from aggressive rain, and all fully laden with the scents of heaven. This May we can celebrate perfection if perfection could possibly exist.

Spring ushers in flocks of new inspiration, as well as an overall sense of rejuvenation. Our recent spring store set centers on new and vintage merchandise, all with exciting stories to tell. If you've visited our shoppe, you see our love for ornithology. Birds have a heavy presence throughout our space, as Phillip and Joe are fond of collecting them.

Spring is in full swing in Michigan and we're here for it! With the outdoor temperatures warming up, our indoor decor is beginning to shift to a more bright and sunny aesthetic. In this month's journal, we've teamed up with local design influencer, Lauren Syrowik, who shares her favorite spring pieces in the shoppe to design the sweetest spring tablescape.

Well hello, friends! How quickly the calendar is opening into 2024; unfolding in new and surprising ways here at fleurdetroit. As an avid birder, when I think about spring, I naturally think bird migrations back to our beautiful northern state. The influx of these feathered beauties is comparable to the influx of objet and flora in our showrooms. Spring is the season of welcomed surprises.

Spring offers abundant and wonderful floral selections. Here in Michigan, bulbs begin to break soil at the end of March, offering a sign of the changing seasons. Our spring floral collection honors all those amazing spring bulbs like hyacinth, tulips, and daffodils—iconic symbols of spring. Arranged strategically, this collection offers a sunny color palette and fragrant designs to bring joy to any recipient. Spring is a time of renewal and rebirth, and our floral collection captures that essence perfectly.

As designers, collectors, business owners, partners and friends, Joe and I have always charged forward in life and with fleurdetroit offering interesting design learned during each stage in our lives and in business.

Experience the art of fleurdetroit by attending our seasonally curated workshops. You’ll learn from our design and floral experts as we guide you in creating your own botanical masterpiece. Each workshop is hands-on, in person, and full of inspiration!

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.
