2nd Stop - Fleurgriege : A Unique Floral Studio

After reading the Washington Post article about the floral designer that embellished my uncle's house for the  Christmas holidays, I was intrigued to see Jeanette Momeni's studio- Fleurgreige. The article marked her style as ultra-naturalistic. And I would dare take it a step further and say that's organic, but modern with a little romance. 


My uncle offered me a private tour of Fleurgreige as Momeni had closed early to pick her children up from school. The walls were a deep charcoal - a stunning backdrop for any bouquet of flowers. Very clean lines with tons of European style.


At the stairway entrance to her studio, bouquets were offered for a mere $20. 
Sure beats the bouquets from Whole Foods in price and style!


Not your usual florist shelf filled with glass cubes. Tons of cool containers!
Coincidentally she also references her collection in the Post article saying, "I like to be different from those glass cubes that you see everywhere." 



Her inspiration area - filled with photos of her own work, as well as a well edited stack of books from notorious designers, such as Christian Tortu. 


Now can you imagine yourself taking a flower class here?! Its a flower school too...what a soothing environment. With small, personalized classes teaching you real European style (read: not fussy) and you don't even have to travel to Europe. To contact about classes, click here.

My Other Home Away from Home

Since Saturday I've been away with my husband visiting his mother in Richmond (hence the lack of posts).


Don't worry I'm gathering plenty of fodder for more blogs to come - highlights include, Seeing my husband's childhood home for the first time, traveling to DC on a train, visiting my uncle's antique store - Marston Luce, a unique flower school, and seeing the gilded Maymont estate to name a few.








The first day of Spring in DC.







My uncle's shop in Georgetown - Marston Luce.







And we've got one more day - so who knows what else! We've had fabulous weather and enjoyed seeing family.

Maymont

Til next time....Happy Traveling and Shopping!
