Icelandic Ice Caves by Leslie Lee Floral Design 

Based in Massachusetts’ SouthCoast and inspired by a background in art therapy,  Leslie Lee approaches floral design as a visual language of texture and emotion. Specializing in elevated, artistic arrangements, Leslie is known for her floral-forward philosophy, meticulously sourcing unique palettes that make every event feel like a one-of-a-kind. 

No doubt Leslie and her team will have no problem taking on the shimmering blue ice, striking volcanic ash layers, and unique crystal formations of Iceland’s Ice Caves. These ice caves are only accessible in winter, when colder temperatures make the ice stable enough to allow visitors to explore the natural and man-made tunnels and chambers that are formed inside glaciers.  

The Galapágos Islands by The Wild Dahlia

The Wild Dahlia’s Shawna Pashalopoulos took her untamed creative spirit to launch her Raynham, Mass floral studio. This year, Shawna will take her natural, effortless aesthetic—where every arrangement feels organic, intentional, and deeply connected to the setting – to create a mannequin that represents that natural beauty and mystique of the Galapágos Islands. 

Situated off the northern pacific coast of South America, the 19 islands and the surrounding marine reserve that make up The Galapágos have been called a unique “living museum and showcase of evolution.” Seismic and volcanic activity, plus extreme isolation of the islands is what led to the development of the unusual animal life that Charles Darwin famously used in 1835 to create his theory of evolution by natural selection.

Cape Cod & the Dunes by Prose Florals 

Covering approximately 8,500 acres from Chatham to Provincetown, Cape Cod’s Coastal Sand Dunes make up roughly one third of the Cape Cod National Seashore. During this Year’s Fleurs de Villes, admire how Prose Florals takes inspiration from the dunes and its variable vegetation and species, which adapted to tolerate the Cape’s hot, dry, and sometimes salty conditions.

Known for a romantic, editorial approach and a love of color, Prose Florals is a wildflower loyalist with a romantic, yet editorial approach to florals. They believe every event has a personality, and they design around it with each unique palette, bloom, and shape.

Fall Foliage in the Acadian Forest by Cape Bloom Floral Design 

Family-owned Cape Bloom creates timeless floral arrangements that tell a story and leave a lasting impression. Rooted in the vibrant culture and charm of New England, Cape Bloom blends artistic vision with personal touches to bring floral dreams to life. 

Celebrating Maine’s leaf-peeping season, Cape Bloom will be taking inspo from Maine’s Acadian Forests for their fresh mannequins. Cape Bloom believes flowers have a unique ability to evoke emotions. Visit the Center to see how they translate the famous fall hues of red, orange and yellow of one of New England’s most famous National Parks. 

Uluru by Anthomanic Floral Co.

Australia’s Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park features spectacular geological formations that dominate the vast red sandy plain in the central part of the continent. Uluru and Kata Tjuta form part of the traditional belief system of one of the oldest human societies in the world: the Anangu Aboriginal people. 

East Boston based and proudly Queer, Black, and Woman-owned, Anthomanic Floral Co. was born out of wonder and awe to turn desire into memorable design. Owner Jasmine Nichole believes each flower variety is the spice of life and a reflection of the world around us. Jasmine will transform florals to create a mannequin that evokes the awe-inspiring nature of the sandstone monolith of Uluru and the conglomerate domes of Kata Tjuta and their shifting colors of different tones of red, violet and orange.
