Extravagant floral arrangements are easy to come by in Dallas. But thanks to new floral and event design studio Dirt, understated greens are also in the local diet.
The Bishop Arts shop opts for sleek, textured stems such as gray Berzelia berries, milk thistle and cobra lilies. Sprinkled inside its arrangements are unusual seasonal accents including twigs, persimmons and acorns.
The shop's creative mix is to be expected from owners Sonya and Chris Eudaley: She studied drama and set design at Texas Woman's University, and he's a photographer. After 11 years in the floral-design business, Sonya decided to open her own shop to create arrangements she describes as "modern vintage with an artsy edge."
"My buy is always based in art first," she says. "Flowers are my paint and containers are my canvas. We never create the same arrangement twice."
