Welcome back to Season 11 of Couture & Construction! On today’s episode, host Andrew Denny welcomes Margot Shaw, the visionary founder and editor-in-chief of Flower Magazine. Margot takes us on an inspiring journey through her life, from her roots in Birmingham to her passion for floral design and lifestyle storytelling. She shares insights into the recent Flower Showhouse in Nashville, a collaborative effort that brought together an array of talented designers and makers. Margot discusses the importance of beauty in design, the power of community connections, and the joy of creating spaces that resonate with life and nature. Let’s Sum It Up: Crafting a narrative through design allows for a deeper connection to the spaces we inhabit. Collaboration among designers fosters creativity and results in cohesive, stunning environments. Each project is an opportunity to weave personal stories and experiences into the fabric of home.
