Mignonette Flowers

Mignonette Flowers was born from a longing to return to the simple, elegant pleasures of life, the kind I came to know and love during the years I spent living in France. There, I learned the joy of a few fresh-cut blooms in an antique vase, an afternoon “goûter” with an espresso, the reverence for local “terroir” - what’s grown and cherished in each unique corner of the country. Whether it’s flowers, cheese, wine, or traditions, this honoring of the everyday left a lasting impression on me. After years in the fast-paced world of advertising, I longed for something slower and I missed the feeling of working with my hands. Flowers offered the perfect intersection of creativity, storytelling, and the client care I’ve always loved. That longing became Mignonette Flowers, a floral design studio based in Brooklyn. We draw inspiration from unexpected places - overgrown garden paths, sun-warmed linens, the vintage charm of our neighborhood bistro, or the delicate abundance of a climbing wild rose vine. We approach floral design with an emphasis on seasonality, natural movement, and subtle detail. - Blair Mitchell is the founder of Mignonette Flowers.
