The collaboration brings together MSLO's unique design aesthetic with 1-800-FLOWERS.COM's more than 30 years of floral expertise.

Martha Stewart for 1-800-FLOWERS.COM offers consumers an assortment of beautiful arrangements that showcase Martha's favorite flowers, hand-selected and arranged in containers inspired by her personal vase collections. The exclusive online boutique features an extensive range of floral designs styled by Martha that include a full selection of seasonal blooms. The arrangements are offered in vases, planters and bowls inspired by Martha's large collection of containers, ranging from mid-century modern forms to art deco masterpieces, to furnishings from her homes.

"Flowers are not only magnificent for adding color and beauty to the home, but they also make thoughtful gestures for every occasion. Distinctive designs bring out the beauty of my favorite flowers because each arrangement is created with impeccable attention to color, texture and proportion. The specially crafted containers are designed to be keepsakes and can be used by customers year round. We are very happy to be working with 1-800-FLOWERS.COM making such beautiful floral designs which are accessible and elegant," said Martha Stewart, Founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.
