This month, we celebrate Passover—eight days of meaningful gatherings and special meals with loved ones. Whether you're hosting a Passover Seder or attending as a guest, an elevated, curated table setting can enhance the experience for all. We've designed a tablescape inspired by spring greens,  a perfect setting for a spring celebration.

Spring at fleurdetroit is all about new, fresh energy—new pieces are arriving, and the outdoor spaces are coming back to life! We’re excited to introduce one of our Spring 2025 collections from Campania International. Their timeless planters are the perfect mix of old-world craftsmanship and modern design, making them a great choice for anyone who loves stylish, well designed, approachable outdoor pieces.

Yes, it’s that time of year for everyone’s favorite “IT” girl—no, not Twiggy, but someone just as groovy: Persephone! Hiding in the depths of the earth during winter, she’s returning with a splash this season. She is bound to make us amorous with her warm breath and splashy colours.

Spring awakens the senses naturally, with soft pops of color and the first bulbs peeking through the garden. In design, we're inspired by these early signs of life. As you welcome friends in your space and create tablescapes this spring, we encourage you to explore color and reimagine pattern.

March shall never be taken for face value by this gent, despite those dreary wet days trying so hard to veil the harbingers of spring, the tiniest of hope will burst forth at the woods edge. March, the dual personality month, cannot decide what the barometer will read daily. Fortunately, If one is lucky enough to stumble upon a grand old patch of bloodroot in the wood, one would know that spring is so close at hand.  Like us all, these little gems can hardly wait for the last throws of slushy snowfall to be over to fully welcome the dawn of the new season in Michigan.

The warmer season has begun with much excitement at fleurdetroit. The space is coming to life with color, and new products are beginning to fill the shop. The anticipation of a new season brings the joy of returning to the garden and creating once again.

In design, we often see repeating patterns of familiar characters. At fleurdetroit, as you browse our growing collection, you’ll notice frogs appearing frequently in various motifs. These charming little creatures—found in all shapes, sizes, and shades of green—are frequent visitors to our shoppe.

February not only ushers in Cupidon, but also sparks many design conversations at fleurdetroit as our buying team returns from markets across the East and South. Joe’s pilgrimages to the Southern design meccas always yield many fun, unique, and valuable treasures that integrate effortlessly into our Northern market.

When creating a dish garden, selecting the right plants is key. Consider size, scale, and a color palette that complements both your vessel and the overall space. With spring on the horizon, sunny yellows bring warmth and vibrancy.

Every flower has a story, just like we do—and we love that! That’s what makes them so special. Flowers have a unique way of speaking to our souls, evoking emotions that linger with us. The first sighting of seasonal blooms brings feelings of hope and joy, marking the beauty of nature’s cycles.

Each year, our designers create a special floral collection to celebrate Valentine's Day on February 14th. It's always uplifting to see vibrant blooms filling our floral cooler during the cold winter months. This year's collection blends traditional and modern styles, featuring fresh, innovative designs that highlight the beauty of flowers.

This year’s Color of the Year is PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a warm, rich brown shade. Pantone describes it as “a warming brown hue imbued with richness, evoking the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, and fulfilling our desire for comfort.”
