Father’s Day is Sunday, June 21, and we’ve curated an exceptional collection of coffee table books covering topics any dad would love. A perfect addition to an office, study, or living space, each title celebrates favorite hobbies and interests, making it a thoughtful and timeless gift. We love the idea of gifting a beautiful book and are proud to share these carefully selected titles.

Few places celebrate the growing season quite like Michigan. Each summer, our extraordinary flower-farmer friends fill their fields with delicate, luxurious blooms that simply cannot be found elsewhere. These special flowers are grown for their beauty and fragrance, allowing us to appreciate a fleeting moment in time. At fleurdetroit, we consider it a privilege to design with these remarkable treasures and to share them with our community.

Prom fashion trends are always fun to watch evolve over the years. The 1970s brought us belted dresses, high necklines, and empire waists. The 1980s were all about big sleeves, ruffles and bows, and drop waists. In the 1990s, we saw off-the-shoulder dresses, slip dresses, and spaghetti straps. The 2000s ushered in beaded gowns, one-shoulder silhouettes, and so much strapless.

Warm afternoon breezes and the anticipation of chattering cicadas in the trees signal that the summer season of 2026 is upon us! Our earth angels are being planted in garden beds and terrace containers. The frenetic push toward June gives way to the joyful pleasures of the loafing season and lazy lake days.

When it comes to home and garden aesthetics, few elements elevate a space quite like French pottery. With a rich history and timeless charm, these handcrafted vessels blend the old with the new, making them perfect for contemporary styling.

We all love the feeling of a beautifully curated yard, with perfectly positioned planters, a thriving vegetable garden, perennials marking the start of a new season, and annuals adding vibrant color. We invest so much in making our outdoor spaces feel full of life and intention.

Our Mother’s Day Gift Guide is a thoughtfully curated collection of some of our favorite gifts for Mom, no matter her style. We’ve gathered selections from across the shoppe, from garden-inspired finds to kitchen favorites. Useful, creative, and beautiful, these gifts are sure to make a beautiful impression this Mother’s Day.

Frech Sutherland, a little man in stature yet huge in personality, passed this winter, too quietly for my liking. He lived a loud life, yet remained intensely private. His snorts and chortles were famously wicked, laced with wit and a deep love for those he chose to keep close.

May brings Mayflies, fleurdetroit’s anticipated Spring Open House, and celebrations for Mumma, and all the other women in our lives. May is one of the months on the calendar that does a lot of heavy lifting.

Garden spaces are all quite unique. Sprawling acres, tree-lined estates, and intimate terraces in the city each have their own charms, yet all require attention to detail in their design. In gardens, no matter the size, the owner’s personality and desires should always shine through.

Spring always invites us to simplify and let a few elements speak clearly, without distraction. In this arrangement, we’re centering the design around a duo of our most beloved early spring blooms—both of which I have the pleasure of growing in my cutting garden at home.

Young love, new growth, spring greens, birdsong, and early bulbs overwhelm the senses as we emerge from our winter slumber. Each day, with every new breath, opens paths to fresh journeys and happy discoveries. Embracing the newness of spring is something every gardener does with zeal. Walking my property, I’m amazed to see the same families of birds setting out with the same fervor as past generations—love to be found and nests to be built.
