Detroit floral designer and events stylist, Amber Velvet Kirkland, will show off her unique flair for design and creativity, merging her engineering background with her creative sense of style. Her focus is on details, mixing various textures and colors in unconventional ways in her focal pieces, resulting in spectacular one-of-a-kind floral arrangements.
Amber Velvet Kirkland was born and raised in the city of Detroit “so no matter where I may live, I will always and forever be a Detroit Girl.” She is founder and owner of The Velvet Touch Events. Amber is an engineer by trade but a florist by choice – or simply put she is a self-proclaimed “Fleurengineer.” As she likes to explain, “engineering feeds my mind but styling floral and events feeds my heart and soul. I love to merge my techie/nerdy side with my artsy/creative side when I style events.” Her passion is in stlying details and creating memorable moments for her clientele.
