Our Design Philosophy
Photo by Fieldstone Creative
We design all our flower arrangements to display and compliment nature’s intrinsic beauty, not compete with it: letting our flowers dictate where and how they want to be placed. Our designs emphasize and incorporate all aspects of the natural world in our work, combining fresh flowers with dried ones, shrubs, fruit, etc.
Flowers are captivating for so many reasons—they are colorful, intricate, ephemeral and delicate. Nature can be harsh and capricious; each bloom is a triumph to be celebrated.
The uncanny homogeneity of mass-produced flowers—think of a dozen identical roses—is like the strictly manicured suburban lawn: a gross, hubristic, ill-conceived and ill-fated effort to conquer and subjugate nature.
This is antithetical to everything that makes a flower beautiful and valuable: each is unique, fragile and rare. Our bouquets often include a leaf mottled by uneven sunlight, or a petal with a few chomps from a hungry insect; these are real flowers, grown naturally.
If commercial floristry is the lifeless expanse of a mowed lawn, Honeybaby is a wild meadow, teeming with birds, blooms and butterflies.

About Our Studio
Our floral design studio was established in April 2023 in Milan, MI at 508 County St. The building is shared with Vertex Coffee Roasters & Botanical Bakeshop—a citadel of woman-owned small businesses.
In addition to a meeting space for our clients, the space serves as a flower storage, processing & design center. All freshly harvested flowers arrive here to rest before they are put into arrangements, bouquets & installations.
We cut everything to order; excess cut flowers or those not fit for arrangements are still used to make a number of our other floral products (sustainable confetti, pressed edible flowers, traditional flower petal sprinkles, etc.)
