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?

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

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.

$65

Signature

Two dozen. The one people photograph.

$110

Grand

Four dozen, two-tier. An occasion by itself.

$185

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.

Begins at $45

Giving

Children create as our guests.

Our children's workshops are part of how the studio gives back to Detroit. Families cover only the kit their child takes home, $15–35.

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.

Say “Paris” and most people picture the same two things: a city, and love.

For me, Paris is not a place. It is my name — my family’s name, and the one everyone calls me. It is on every card and every box that leaves this studio. And a name the whole world connects with love is not something you get to wear lightly. It is a promise. You either keep it or you do not.

So I built everything around keeping it. Love is the thing people feel most and show worst. Everything I make exists for one reason: to make it visible.

Love, made visible.

A bouquet is love you can hold. A petal box is love you can send when you cannot be there, or when the words will not come. A balloon garland is joy you can see from across the room. And a fully styled room is all of it at once — the moment someone walks through the door and understands, without a word being said, how much they are loved.

The art classes are the same promise, turned around. Instead of making it for you, I put the paint and the stems in your hands and show you how to make it yourself, so you carry home something that did not exist that morning — and the proof that you can make love visible too.

Art and flowers are my two loves, and they turned out to be the same one. A centerpiece, a garland, a whole room — I compose each the way a painter would: where your eye lands first, where it rests, and what it saves for last.

And once a year, the promise leaves the studio altogether. Feed the City is how we keep it with Detroit itself.

You will not remember the stems. You will remember the second you walked in, who was standing beside you, and how it felt. That is what the name promises. The work is how I keep it.

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. Children's workshops are part of the studio's giving — families cover only the kit their 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.
