Flowers have a unique ability to evoke a sense of belonging.
Their elegant designs and refined beauty inspire us with a sense of controlled adventure and new possibilities, giving voice to our deepest emotions. We find ourselves drawn to the unspoken energy within floral arrangements – gentle reminders of the powerful forces that move us.
About us
At Hyssop, we believe in fostering meaningful connections and a warm sense of hospitality. Our passion lies in creating unique floral arrangements that transform your space into something truly special.
We strive to design elegant arrangements that highlight the natural movement and flow of each individual stem.
Every design is thoughtfully crafted to hold space for each flower to be appreciated and admired.
“Hayley and Zachary are true artists in every sense of the word. Their deep care for both their craft and clients can be felt in the intentional selection of floral elements, all the way to the curation of vessels, space, and the larger design experience. Hyssop Floral leaves me in awe every time I have the chance to work alongside them. Their work is expansive, timeless, joyful, and always wonderfully curated for the project at hand.”
-Annie Brinkman, Studio Wes
We look forward to getting to know you.
Hyssop Floral, a Grand Rapids, Michigan-based floral design studio, was founded by Hayley in 2019 and is now co-owned and operated by Hayley and her husband, Zachary. In 2024, after five years of working from a home studio, they were thrilled to expand into their first brick-and-mortar location.
Connecting with the community through their shared love for floral design and timeless goods has been incredibly rewarding. They are committed to supporting intentional, quality brands that share their core values and remain dedicated to sourcing flowers from local growers as often as possible to stock their cooler. Their greatest hope is to foster connection and beauty through the language of flowers.
Zachary and Hayley share all aspects of the business, from administrative work and hosting consultations, to designing for events, tending to and harvesting flowers from their garden, teaching workshops, and managing inventory at the studio. They are truly grateful for the opportunity to pursue their passion together while serving a community that they hold dear.

Our designs show a real understanding of the flowers themselves, while encompassing the serenity and spontaneity of the garden.

We gravitate towards dainty, poetic blooms with a windswept quality, gathered at varying stages of opening, accented with unexpected elements reminiscent of the garden itself.
While we tend to favor creamy, softened color palettes, we're also open to creating with punchier, more vibrant options. We're particularly drawn to seasonal blooms for their natural movement and the way they seamlessly integrate with the environment when used during their peak season.
Our style leans toward minimalism, but we're always delighted to have the opportunity to create something rich and abundant. We're consistently mindful of our sourcing practices and how the ingredients we choose complement the vessel in which they are placed.

Where we find inspiration
We often find inspiration in unexpected moments, particularly when we're exploring or taking walks together. We are captivated by nature and the subtle ways flowers flourish and adapt. Creating floral mandalas together used to be a meditative practice for us, and we'd often leave them on hiking trails or sidewalks as a testament to the ephemeral beauty of flowers and the sensitivity to create with them.
We draw immense inspiration from gardens and the ever-changing seasons. Additionally, we find great value in connecting with other artists – ceramicists, painters, interior designers, musicians, and others. When we're feeling creatively drained, spending time with friends in any creative field always renews our sense of possibility.
