charlottesgarden/ĭorothy McDaniel’s Flower Market Birmingham, Alabamaįlorals are an organic fit for Birmingham, Alabama, designer Dana Wolter’s airy, comfortable homes, but she has a precise vision for these displays that she feels is best executed by the local experts at Dorothy McDaniel’s Flower Market. The result? A traditional wildflower garden strewn with a mix of roses, hydrangeas, and feathers. Walker is so drawn in by Hooper’s skills that she even asked Hooper to enliven her son’s university graduation party. Hooper, who runs the shop Charlotte’s Garden, brings her quietly fashionable bouquets to such projects as a nearby antiques-filled, coral-hued abode complete with rose garden designed by Walker. “She has mastered the art of classic elegance in a vase,” but with a bohemian edge, says Charlotte, North Carolina, designer Gray Walker of local florist Mignon Hooper. “They also can last about a month, so great value for the dollar.” For a punch of color, Kellogg sometimes supplements the earthy atmosphere with flowers from the corner bodega. “These branches immediately transform the space and bring some nature indoors,” she explains. Kellogg weaves the branches into both photo shoots of the high-ceiling lofts that comprise most of her residential work, and into her own home where she spreads them around in tall vases. Kellogg, the founder of a sustainable-minded architecture firm known for projects like the Rajkumari Ratnavati Girl’s School in India, calls US Evergreens early in the morning “and they deliver the branches cut to the size I requested the same day,” she says. ĭiana Kellogg gravitates to US Evergreens in Manhattan’s Flower District specifically for its branches. “I appreciate how their arrangements have an amazing mix of colors and textures while still feeling natural,” he says. To elicit this kind of dynamism in his projects, like his newly completed apartment building lobby on the Upper East Side, Lonstein calls upon Élan Flowers in SoHo. “Both draw your eye to these rich moments and bring life into a space,” continues the South Africa–born, New York–based designer, who oversaw the in-house architecture and design studio at Tiffany & Co.
