The holiday season has arrived and we’re very excited to share our curated Holiday 2024 Gift Guide! Whether you're shopping for a green thumb, a gracious host, or a design aficionado, we’ve gathered a selection of some of our favorite things—available both online and in-store this season. These thoughtful gifts are perfect for those who appreciate the finer details in life.

As the winter season arrives, we're thrilled to unveil our latest floral collection—designed to capture the beauty of this transformative time of year. Inspired by the changing color temperatures and the spirit of togetherness, our winter florals are intended to bring warmth and charm to your celebrations. With a festive palette of rich reds, deep greens, and frosty whites, this collection is all about gathering with loved ones and creating moments that spark joy. 

Michigan Humane’s 35th annual Purrfect Bow Wow Brunch was celebrated on October 6th, welcoming 650 guests to Eastern Market and raising $1.1 million for the animals in our community! fleurdetroit is a proud partner and supporter of Michigan Humane and this signature event.

Get ready to step into the most wonderful holiday experience! Next weekend, from November 8th to 10th, we invite you to our annual Holiday Open House, where our retail spaces will be transformed into a stunning winter wonderland. Discover a curated selection of seasonal décor, exquisite ornaments, festive trees, lush custom garlands and wreaths, and unique gifts to kick off the spirit of the season.

It's time to start planning those "gather everyone around the table" celebrations with loved ones. Drawing inspiration from the beauty of nature and the rich colors of the season is an amazing design concept that creates a warm and inviting dining experience.

The first true chilly bite of the season has wrapped around several of our fall nights, and the leaves, in a synchronized ballet, responded with colours only seen in our glorious northern landscape. It is the season of the Scorpio, and all the nesting that the lower temperatures trigger in our souls. 

With spooky season quickly approaching, October is the perfect opportunity to get creative with floral arrangements that capture the essence of autumn. Imagine vibrant oranges, deep reds and purples, and eerie branches coming together to create a stunning centerpiece that will delight your guests and elevate your Halloween decor. Let’s conjure up some floral magic!

We’ve just returned from an unforgettable adventure in Paris at Maison & Objet and Paris Design Week in September 2024! As two passionate buyers for fleurdetroit, Mia and I were eager to immerse ourselves in the world of design and discover exciting new products for our shelves.

The active summer gardening season was busy with preparations ahead of the Perennial Plant Association visiting our personal garden sanctuary in Grosse Pointe in September.

By far, my favorite time of year is ushered in with the start of October. Autumn in the Midwest has all the feels that this boy loves about Michigan. The cool temperatures and smells of the season are only eclipsed by the visuals of the season. Red-splashed sugar maples, yellow-soaked ash canopies, and fields a fire with asters and goldenrod delight the eyes and awaken my soul.

As September holds fast to the feel of the last warm rays of the summer sun, children are busy with anticipation or anxiety for their scholastic journeys, and the natural world begins to ebb towards the months of slumber. Here at fleurdetroit, we exhale before the next storm of seasonal activity begins.

The summer sun is beginning to fade as we welcome seemingly cooler temperatures and the start of fall. In Michigan, we celebrate all of the cozy vibes that come with the season.
