Mac & the Mushroom is an independently owned floral design studio based in Hoboken, NJ. Owner, Kim Kachougian, has won an Emmy award for her set decorating work on Saturday Night Live, and utilizes her unique and creative approach in each flower arrangement she makes. Working as a designer and decorator in the film industry she is responsible for the entire look of the set– shopping, renting, gathering and then arranging all the props and decorations on a set or location. While working on a movie, Kim had an epiphany that changed the course of her career and has manifested itself into what is now known as Mac & the Mushroom. When on set, arranging flowers is what brought joy to Kim’s day, bringing any leftover arrangements to her apartment or sharing them with friends and family. From then on, she wanted to be surrounded by flowers and have the chance to share the joy they hold with as many people as possible. 

Kim’s enthusiasm for unusual elements and textures help her achieve a design style that is aimed at brightening up any room. Some favorite items that create this visual happiness are fungi, barks, grasses, herbs and preserved foliage. Her work is simplistic yet whimsical, allowing the flowers to speak for themselves. A client once said “Kim’s work feels so beautifully natural, almost like it has been plucked right from the forest and is now sitting on the tables at my wedding.” Because of Kim’s set design history, she is flexible in her work and enjoys creating the flowers that fit her clients' style on an individual basis. Kim is available for custom work on events, photo shoots, installations, and her famous floral bars.
