The Heart Behind The Flower Garage is Dani Christakos. Dani has been bringing floral joy to the Scottsdale area for the past eight years. After spending 17 years at home raising her three children, she made a promise to herself: when her eldest left for college, she’d chase her dream of opening a creative floral studio. And that’s exactly what she did. What started as a passion for floral design quickly bloomed into something even more meaningful when Dani began teaching workshops. She discovered how much people loved gathering to learn a new skill—and how flowers could turn an ordinary night out into something truly memorable. Over the years, Dani’s unique talent and inviting studio atmosphere have caught the attention of major national brands, including Gucci, Princess Polly, Sephora, Lawless, Barstool Sports, and DraftKings to name a few. But for Dani, the best part of the job is the people, welcoming new faces into the studio and watching friendships blossom over blooms. Her clients become like family, and she loves getting to be part of their biggest life moments. Designing weddings and events for clients she’s met through The Flower Garage is one of her greatest joys. When she’s not surrounded by flowers, you’ll find her traveling to new destinations or on the sidelines across the country cheering on her kids who play sports in college sports. She’s also been married to her high school sweetheart for 28 years.
