01
Floral design
Garden roses that open on the day, not the day before. Conditioned in my studio, built the morning it matters, and still drinking when they reach your table.
Begins at $85
THE ROSES ARE OPENING
Petals
by Paris
Floral and balloon design across Metro Detroit. You will know the room is right the moment you open the door.
One event a weekend. Not scarcity for its own sake — it is the only way my hands touch every stem that goes into your room.
The estimate
Know what yours costs before you speak to anyone.
A minute of questions and the range is on your screen — not "contact us for pricing", not a form, not a wait. No email needed to see it.
What are you planning?
02
Balloon artistry
Sized to your wall, never to a kit. Matte and chrome in your palette, with live stems worked through so no one reads it as anything but yours.
Begins at $350
03
Event styling
Hand me an empty room and a date. You walk back into it finished — sourced, built, lit, and cleared while you are still being congratulated.
Begins at $2,500
04
Interactive art classes
Two hours, hands in the paint and the stems. You leave carrying something that did not exist this morning. Birthdays, showers, team days, church groups.
Begins at $45
Selected work
The room they photograph before anyone sits down.
Placeholder imagery while the studio's own photographs are shot. Every frame here will be replaced with Paris's work.
Petal boxes
The one they keep the box for.
Arranged closed, so the lid lifts the way a bloom does. Set flush to the rim and packed tight enough to survive a drive down Woodward with the windows open. This is what you send when a bouquet would not have said it.
24 hours across Metro Detroit.
Petite
Nine blooms. Desk-sized.
Signature
Two dozen. The one people photograph.
Grand
Four dozen, two-tier. An occasion by itself.
Interactive art classes
You will smell it before you sit down.
You will smell the eucalyptus before you sit down. Two hours later you are carrying something home that did not exist this morning, and your hands made it. Booked for birthdays, showers, team days and church groups.
Adults
Kit $25–50 depending on the project, plus a $20 class fee.
A standing programme
Children's classes are free. They always will be.
Parents pay only for the kit the child keeps, $15–35. Every Detroit kid should get to make something with their hands, and what it costs should never be the reason they don't.

How it works
You will always know what happens next.
50% takes your date off the calendar for everyone else. The balance is due the week of the event.
Fresh florals need 24 hours. Installations and full room styling need about 3 weeks.
The conversation
Thirty minutes. No charge and no pitch — I am working out whether I am right for your room as much as you are. You will hang up knowing the number, which most people tell me is the first time anyone has given them one.
The proposal
Colours, stems, structures and a firm price, in writing, within three days. When something in it is not quite you, you say so and it changes before a single stem is ordered.
The build
Sourcing, conditioning, fabrication. Your 50% takes the date off the calendar for everyone else, and from there it is mine to worry about.
The day
I install it, walk the room in daylight, and fix whatever the light shows up. Then I come back at the end and take it all down. You never touch it, and you never think about it.
About
My name laid the foundation.
I was named after a city known for two things: what people make, and what people grow.
For a long time I kept them apart. Flowers were what people paid me for. Art was what I did for nobody, late, because I could not not do it. It took me longer than it should have to see they were the same instinct wearing different clothes.
Because when I build an arrangement, I am not arranging stems. I am deciding where your eye goes first, where it is allowed to rest, and what it does not get to see yet.
That is composition. It is the only thing I actually do.
So when I style a room, I am painting it. Something has to be loudest. Something has to stay quiet. Colour has to move through the space along a line you follow without noticing you are following it. Blooms and balloons are pigment — the composition is the work, and the composition is what people are really photographing when they think they are photographing flowers.
Which is why I take one event a weekend. Not to be difficult. Because a painting does not get finished by someone who is also finishing three others.
On the day, you will not be able to say why the room feels right. You will just stop for a second in the doorway. That second is the whole job.

Asked before
What everyone asks first.
How far ahead should we talk?
Fresh florals need 24 hours. Installations and full room styling need about three weeks. Saturdays in May, June and October are usually spoken for a season ahead — if yours is one of those, have the conversation now rather than in spring.
Where does it begin?
Arrangements begin at $85, balloon installations at $350, full styling at $2,500, wedding florals at $3,500. Run the estimator on this page and you will have your own range inside a minute — no form, no waiting, no "contact us for pricing".
How does payment work?
50% takes your date off the calendar for everyone else. The balance is due the week of the event. No hidden lines, and the proposal price is the price.
Do you travel?
Across Metro Detroit as standard — Royal Oak, Ferndale, Birmingham, Southfield, Dearborn, Grosse Pointe, Troy, Warren, Novi, Canton. Further out, ask me.
Can you recreate something I saw on Instagram?
Bring the picture. I will tell you honestly what it costs, what is actually achievable in your venue with your ceiling height, and where I would do it differently — because usually there is a version that photographs better than the one you saved.
Will balloons last overnight?
Indoors, yes — a properly built garland holds for days. Outdoors in Michigan is a different question: cold shrinks latex and direct summer sun expands it, so for outdoor dates I build in the shade, install same-day, and will tell you when an indoor alternative is the better call.
Who builds balloon garlands and arches in Detroit?
I do — organic garlands, arches and full installations across Metro Detroit, with fresh flowers worked through them so they read as design rather than decoration. Installations begin at $350 and need about three weeks' notice.
Can I get flowers the next day in Detroit?
Yes. Fresh arrangements and petal boxes need only 24 hours' notice anywhere in Metro Detroit. Arrangements begin at $85 and petal boxes at $65.
Do you run art classes for children?
Yes, and children's classes are free — parents pay only for the kit the child takes home, $15 to $35. Adult classes begin at $45 a head, kit and class fee included.
Do you do graduations and proms?
Some of my favourite work. Late May and June fill before anything else in this city, so those dates go to whoever calls first.
The consultation
Thirty minutes, and you will know exactly what your room costs.
Tell me what you are planning. I answer personally, within the hour, whatever time it lands. 50% takes your date off the calendar for everyone else. The balance is due the week of the event.
In a hurry? Call or text (313) 349-0647. Fresh florals still make it in 24 hours.
