Emily Thompson Flowers

At Emily Thompson Flowers, we collaborate with the rough hand of nature. We herald the earth and its treasures through considerate sourcing and compost.

We strive to always bring the eye back to the forest and field, the swamp and the bog. At Emily Thompson Flowers, we 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 our sometimes ornate, other times austere and stripped back designs, we seek out rare, ill-used, and unlikely flowers, se

ed pods, branches and undergrowth. Our materials come from local growers and a network of foragers whenever possible.

A few shots of process. Our book project took over the studio, where a series of swamps at different scales took shape. This magnolia/waterlily didn’t make the cut but I still love the bud forms together, one hairy and rigid, the other sinuous and clammy.

Some details of our recent banana slug trails to accompany recent work “Anthems For The Resolute When The Sky Is Empty”. The designs came to be against a backdrop of the post-apocalyptic harmonies of EJ, such that our improvisations wove together with theirs into a sensory swamp soup. Great thanks to EJ for this day.

I’ve always liked the term “florist”, in part because it sounds like “forest”. I like to bring the forest wherever I go. For this solstice night we did just that, also a wee meadow. It was a particular joy to build these landscapes because I got to pull in so many favorite growers, builders, and designers. All together, we were able to create something enormously challenging but effortless in appearance. It was a thrilling contortion of the real and the illusory.

So many thanks to for bringing us onto this wonderful project and making the process so excellent.

Gratitude to all of our friends at

And our amazing team:

A joyous steamy Mississippi swamp we created for this October. The Magnolia grandiflora was in primo form so we let it do most of the talking, it being the state flower, just for starters, just allowing hints here and there of its inhabitants- a cayman? A chorus of frogs, certainly. A mockingbird.

This past April, this belching, snorting Komodo caterpillar emerged out of untold bales of azalea, dogwood and Jurassic scale philodendrons laid on their sides, a spill of exreta in its wake.

This very late post is a little love letter to the participants and hosts-now dear friends- of an April workshop, The Art and Nature of Flowers. and and I each brought our own particular approach, and in my case, we built a monster together. It’s a rare and vital thing to come together with those who share such a profound esteem for the living word and have made the expression of this mentality their lives’ work. It is deeply moving for me to pull closer to a purely experimental form, especially with SUCH collaborators. I will be forever grateful to and for this extraordinary encounter.

So many thanks to for these images.

Thanks to our friends at and and amazing and and to all the participants.

Huzzah spring! Through Monday, April 10th come wander through this immersive installation of spring we created with as part of the annual flower show. This fantasy landscape shifts and evolves as the flowers fade and new things emerge. So far, azalea, local plum, pear, Yoshino, Kwanzan, Akebono and Okame cherry, quince, magnolia, and pear have all found their way into our thickets, with more yet to come.

So many thanks to our slightly fatigued team!

This misty morning I was reminded of another… there is a tiny window of opportunity to amass this great richness of azalea, an oft-underestimated shrubbery, at the peak of its bloom, and we did, to conjure the red-rock plateaus of Colorado and Utah. I often deny such eye-swirling fluorescent color p**n, but then there’s this moment of dazzle that embodies the crescendo of Spring. The damp morning was lit by this raging bonfire. There were also holograms.

A few brief months ago we designed these mimosa monoliths for runway. The trick was the caves mostly obscured by cascading string of pearls. The forms were hazy knotted snake mobius balls. Made of balls. This collaboration led us to another…

My very first time lapse! And if my description below doesn’t seem quite perverse enough to befit our -ahem- wicker man, just check out these feral wildcats at work. Me and my glorious witches casting some spells. #madebywildanimals #seasonofthewitch #Repost @tmagazine (@get_repost) ・・・ Over the course of a day at her Manhattan studio, and a few hours on site at the @metbreuer before the celebration, florist Emily Thompson (@emilythompsonflowers) created a floral experience for guests of our #TGreats17 party. "With honorees like this, the whole idea of flames of inspiration and brilliance are what I wanted to reference," says the designer. Her topiary T and the accompanying structures were made of dogwood branches and included castor pods, a favorite material of hers, as well as some of the more "modest and ill-used flowers" such as chrysanthemums and carnations.
