The Compositions boutique opened only two days ago, but it's already filling orders for local celebrities. This gorgeous arrangement is being sent by a friend to Rob Evans, who owns Hugo's and Duckfat. Monday night Rob won the James Beard Foundation's award for best chef of the Northeast region, which is the foodie equivalent of an Oscar.

The guys creating such sleek floral designs are James McBride (left) and John McVeigh. According to John (who's both a renowned opera singer and a fantastic jewelry designer), the full service florist service aims to create floral design in an "upscale, European style."

The shop also offers a few gift items, artwork and jewelry. Right now, a number of Shoshannah White's encaustic flower photographs are on display, and the plan is to change out the art ever other month ahead of the First Friday Art Walk.

John's nature-inspired jewelry is for sale in the shop too. These pieces include lovely earrings, brooches and necklaces. He creates a number of designs for men as well, and says his jewelry designs grew out of his opera work, where colleagues would often ask him to create cuff links and other masculine accessories. For brides and grooms, John offers a custom wedding ring design service.

Should you want to check out the space, stop by this Thursday night, May 7, from 5-8 pm for the grand opening celebration. You can find it at 13 Free Street or access it from the Monument Way indoor mini-mall that connects to Monument Square. The shop is open Monday-Friday from 10 am-6 pm and Saturday from 9 am-2 pm. You can call in your floral orders at 899-2211.
