Just when we thought we had seen enough garlands for the holiday season, we spotted the work of Moon Canyon Design.

Kristen Caissie and Amy Lipnis, lifelong friends, set up their floral and event design studio in LA's happening Echo Park neighborhood. The pair offer a refreshingly natural and low-key approach to floral design, incorporating such unexpected elements into their festive sprigs as leather ties and an indigo bow.
