The Velvet Garden, a floral design studio in Los Angeles, CA, began receiving local and national attention for an extraordinary and varied body of work immediately after Kimm Birkicht and Diane Munoz opened doors in 1995.
Creative Director and co-founder Kimm Birkicht has cultivated an impressive list of esteemed clients that include the Hollywood elite, respected publications, luxury brands, prominent professionals, contemporary designers and reputable Los Angeles establishments.
Kimm’s background in visual merchandising at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills has enabled her to create an impeccable visual foundation for The Velvet Garden and empowered her with the ability to interpret her client’s personalities and visions through floral art.
In 2009, Kimm was named as one of Modern Bride’s “25 Trend Setters.” Her work has appeared in publications such as Vogue, Vogue Italia, Japanese Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, O Magazine, Architectural Digest, Food & Wine, InStyle, Angeleno, C Magazine, Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Magazine, Los Angeles Confidential, House Beautiful, More Magazine, Genlux, Elegant Bride, Saavy Brides, and Grace Ormonde Wedding Style, to name a few.

Influenced by fashion, interior design, home décor, architecture, photography and nature, Kimm’s artistic vision is remarkably vast. It ranges from stark/modernism to bountiful European old world. She specializes in floral expressions that tell a story through flowers and color. She’s able to express, without words, the style, the design, the sophistication and the vision of any wedding or event.
From her individual gift arrangements that convey an image of style and fashion, to her events and parties that express the complete story of a theme, to her memorable weddings that express a moment in time; from feminine to masculine from bountiful to sparse; from playful and whimsical to tailored and architectural – Kimm creates handmade specialty visions that tell a story.
