February chills give one ample time for planning additions to the gardens, reading, and binging TV.  January strolls in the garden were balmy comparative to the chills to come. I may be one of the very few that openly admits to loving a good Michigan winter. 

Each year, the Pantone Color Institute releases a color of the year. The process of assigning a color of the year includes bridging the relationship between culture and color. The color chosen is intended to speak to the state of the global econonmy. The 2023 Pantone color of the year is Viva Magenta - a joyous shade of red signifying strength, boldness and confidence.

We had a beautiful 2022 and are so fortunate to have you along for the ride. The journey has been possible because of our amazing friends and followers—we’re so grateful to continually do what we love because of your continued support. Enjoy some of our favorite moments captured in 2022 and cheers to an amazing 2023!

The winter months are all about early nights and cozying up with a good book. Take a deep dive into the world of plants with our favorite botanical resources—from a detailed overview of plant species to houseplant care and maintenance to designing with plants—this collection has something for every level of plant enthusiast.

“Here we go!”, as Darin often proclaims when we are about to embark on a new project, event, or situation… A New Year certainly deserves this verbal exclamation! Here we go, 2023!

Our curated selections to give the most thoughtful gifts this season.

From the ancient druids to the early Romans to the modern family home – decking the halls with evergreen boughs helps us brighten the darkest time of year. Cut evergreens literally and figuratively bring a bit of spring and life to contrast the cold, dark, snowy weather.

Holiday decor should accent what's already there - no need to put away your favorite pieces, just work with them. Follow along for a peek into co-owners of fleurdetroit, Phillip Morici and Joe Neiradka's home for the holidays.

For the fleurdetroit retail crew, the buzz of the holiday season begins with a low murmur in June when most of the holiday décor arrives in the warehouses—far removed from the natural order of things, now at a feverish pitch! 

Our autumn collection is full of bold color and striking designs. There are five different arrangements, in varying sizes perfect for any occasion from birthday gifts, to anniversary, to ‘just because.’

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Baking is a tradition that many people enjoy partaking in during the holiday season. We asked members of our team for their favorite sweet recipes to share.

Each year our team comes together the last Sunday of October, one week prior to the annual Holiday Open House, to flip the entire shoppe to holiday store sets. The warehouse team has been receiving and processing the holiday merchandise for months leading up to this point, and on set up day, the glitter and organized chaos comes to life—with the help of lots of caffeine, of course!
