Interieurs et Fleurs

We just love the French inspired designs of DC floral designer Laura Dowling and had to share some of her gorgeous work! Laura is the owner, creator and designer of Interieurs et Fleurs and has created arrangements for everything from weddings...to embassies...and even the Vice President's residence! She takes her design inspiration from landscapes and architecture...to Parisian haute couture. They make us want to take a long vacation to the French countryside...c'est magnifique!!
