Kelly Eckardt – Modern Florals

Kelly Ekardt is a creative floral artist based in Frankfurt, Germany, whose work blends artistic expression, emotional impact, and unexpected design approaches. After a 20-year career in fashion design and styling, Kelly discovered her passion for flowers during a collaborative photoshoot that combined fashion and florals. This pivotal moment inspired her to study floral design at the Berlin Flower School, where she developed her skills in weddings, events, installations, and floral art.

Kelly’s floral practice focuses on bringing a fresh, avant-garde perspective to traditional floristry. She works across a wide range of formats — from immersive installations and event design to window displays, editorial shoots, and custom arrangements — with the intention to evoke emotion, surprise, and sensory engagement. She especially enjoys working with undervalued blooms and foliage, transforming them into compositions that challenge expectations.

Her creative work emphasizes bold expression, thoughtful composition, and an experimental spirit, making her floral art distinctive and memorable. Kelly’s approach reflects a commitment to storytelling through texture, color, and unconventional materials, and her projects span commercial, editorial, and experiential contexts.s
