When botanicals become art.

Hi, I'm Kelly Eileen.

I'm a floral artist and the hands behind every arrangement that leaves this studio. Botanical Studio by Kelly Eileen is a small, boutique floral studio based in Apex, North Carolina, serving the greater Raleigh area and the Triangle with handcrafted seasonal centerpieces, living botanical arrangements, and sculptural floral art.

A different kind of florist.

If you've searched for a florist in Apex or Raleigh, you've probably seen a lot of the same thing — roses in a box, teddy bears, same-day deliveries of arrangements that look like every other arrangement. Botanical Studio is intentionally different.

Every piece I make is built by hand, one at a time, around the botanicals that are most beautiful and available that week. No catalog orders. No stock arrangements pulled off a shelf. Just real, living, seasonal work — composed slowly, with care, and made for people who want their flowers to feel like art.

My arrangements draw inspiration from the Japanese art of ikebana, the wild meadows of the English countryside, and the quiet discipline of the still life. Every stem is placed with intention. Every negative space is considered. The goal isn't just to fill a vase — it's to create something worth looking at.

Rooted in Apex, reaching across the Triangle.

Botanical Studio by Kelly Eileen is based in Apex, North Carolina, and proudly serves customers across the greater Raleigh area — including Cary, Morrisville, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Durham, Chapel Hill, and surrounding Wake County communities.

I offer:

  • Seasonal centerpieces and living arrangements for the home, delivered or available for local pickup in Apex

  • Monthly floral subscriptionsA Year in Bloom — for Triangle-area customers who want fresh botanicals every month

  • Custom commissions and studio pieces for those seeking one-of-a-kind sculptural floral art

  • Seasonal collections tied to the holidays we love celebrating — Easter, Kentucky Derby, Mother's Day, Fourth of July, autumn harvest, and the winter holidays

Because every arrangement is built around what's actually in season, you'll never see a catalog of 100 identical bouquets here. You'll see a collection that changes with the weather — just like the gardens they come from.

Send us a quick note and let’s create something beautiful together.

Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.
