About Emily Thompson Flowers

Emily Thompson brings a wild, natural, and dramatic approach to floral design, using the abundance of the season in her designs. Emily likes to balance the uncultivated organic world with a sensibility that is both classical and contemporary. Emily Thompson Flowers provides custom designs for special events and occasions. Using the freshest seasonal flowers, fruit, and foliage as well as unconventional and wild materials, each project or arrangement is individually conceived to suit the architecture and palette of its setting or to transform a room entirely. The ethos of Emily Thompson Flowers is to collaborate with the rough hand of nature, drawing the eye to the infinite glory of the living world with piercing contrasts and juxtapositions of materials. For sometimes ornate, other times austere and stripped-back designs, we seek out rare, ill-used, and unlikely flowers, seed pods, branches, and undergrowth to achieve a design that creates a desire for the obscure and love for the hard-to-love. We chose the best of the season through the calendar. All this, to reveal and animate the essential natures of our living media through design. Our materials come from local growers and a network of foragers whenever possible. We herald the earth and its treasures through considerate sourcing and composting. We strive to always bring the eye back to the forest and field, the swamp, and the bog.
