The Velvet Poppy, Floral Design & Boutique

This is where designing with intention leads! I’m finding inspiration in the things around me from the weather and changing of the season to my own emotions. I’m loving the use of natural elements like vines and grasses in unique ways to create visual movement as we transition from one season to the next.

I’m Thankful coming on 2 years at 1615 Silver Lake blvd! The Silver Lake Village area has been the warmest most neighborhoodly part of LA that I could ever imagine to live and work. As we grow as a business we are looking to expand to meet the growing demands of the event industry as well as our local clientele. Keeping our fingers crossed that doing small remodels will help us continue to fit in our current space or find additional space right here in the hood! 🤞

Saying goodbye to ranunculus season is so sad! Usually we say goodby to ranunculus and hello peony, but that’s not really the case this year. Peony are trickling in but should have full availability for Mother’s Day! Ahem…. Yep, MOTHERS DAY, May 8th will be here before you know it! You can always place place your orders early and I highly recommend it if you want special flowers like peony included. Visit the-velvet-poppy.com to place orders!

If you want flowers this week please place your order in advance or stop by through Friday! I promise, we’ve got some stunning blooms in stock!
