Winter Wonderland

Well by my account we're now in a winter wonderland. The tree at Rockefeller Center is lit, there's snow on the ground, and the chills at night are enough to bring shivers to the Vikings. What this means for your florist New York is that it's time to bring out a hearty arrangement that is made to last, even with this cold. 

Winter Wonderland

This arrangement from the New York florist is bound to do the trick. Pine cones, white pine needles, some glittery goodies, and just a few freesia to bring it to life. Our usual New York flowers aren't enough to be placed out in front of a porch when a customer is at work and still be healthy when they come home at night. This, however, is sure to be looking just as pretty when they get home so they can have flowers New York to bring winter's spirit indoors. Come on and visit us at 599 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10022, we'll do our best to keep you warm with inspiration for creating your own arrangements with our enormous selection of farm-fresh flowers or let our designers create something for you. We can't wait to see you!

Poinsettias: Every Kind, Every Style...Always Amazing!

In case you haven't gotten it yet, I love the holidays. And at Roses and Blooms, we embrace the holidays full force as soon as we can. The colors, the music, the glitters...it's all spectacular! The first new items we get at the New York florist every year for the holidays are a large truck of poinsettia plants. Large ones, small ones, red ones, white ones...we get all of them so we can ensure that all of our customers get exactly the holiday decorating they need. We love our New York flowers, but that doesn't mean we don't also love our plants. Throughout the year, phalaenopsis orchids are one of our best sellers with their understated elegance, but with the holidays...it's the season of the poinsettia! 

White Poinsettia in Ceramic Pot

Large White Poinsettia with Decorations

Extra Large White Poinsettia with Ornamental Decoration

Here you can see that we take the seemingly plain white poinsettia plant and jazz it up in 3 different ways, for 3 different price points. For $50, we have a standard sized poinsettia in a ceramic pot with a few ornaments to give it that holiday sparkle. Then, for $85, we have a large white poinsettia plant in a wicker basket with a more ornate ornament finish. Finally, for $125, we have an extra large white poinsettia in a glass container filled with ornaments to create a modern look that never goes out of style. All of these are quality options from the florist New York trusts with its holiday decor needs year after year.

Thanksgiving Centerpiece for Our Home

So Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays for the year. It has a purity to it that reminds me of Christmas in Holland. It isn't all about presents, it isn't all about who has the brightest lights on the block...it's all about sitting down with family & friends and enjoying a wonderful meal together and giving thanks. 

Now just because I love cooking and I have what I hope to be an amazing meal planned, doesn't mean that I don't get to abandon my task as the New York florist. Yes, I love to see a beautiful centerpiece of New York flowers on my Thanksgiving Day table. This is what will be adorning my table this year, on my actually dining room table. I'm sure that this would look great on your table as well!

Thanksgiving Celebration Centerpiece

Now the table is going to look even better with the turkey, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, squash, carrots, cranberry sauce, asparagus, baked apples, and whatever else we are able to whip up for Thanksgiving...but it looks pretty elegant on its own don't you think? By the way, that is our actual menu for Thanksgiving, hope we have enough food!

I love to keep dinner table centerpieces low so that they don't impede conversation. There is nothing worse than going to a dinner party and having to constantly zig and zag around a tall centerpiece while trying to hold conversation with those across from you. There is no reason to go high for a dinner table, a low design can look just as beautiful while still being functional. 

If you haven't gotten your flower situation organized yet, Roses and Blooms is still open! We are the florist New York has trusted for 30 years of Thanksgiving Day arrangements and we are proud to continue designing these flowers New York. Visit the store at 599 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10022 or give the store a call at (212) 758 7673 as soon as possible to make sure we can get you the perfect flowers to complement you Thanksgiving before it's too late!!!

Glittering Golds

Who doesn't love gold? Whether you wear it, decorate with it, invest in it, or even use it as a conductor, gold is on everyone's mind when it comes to something exclusive and beautiful. We've gotten the memo. And that is why we are very proud to carry the full line of Ecri gold-finished ceramics at Roses and Blooms, the New York florist. Here's an example of some of the vases we are displaying today at 599 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10022. 

Gold Hand-Made Ecri Ceramics directly to you from Holland

What makes Ecri so special is the fact that each piece is hand-made on the potter's wheel by artisans in the Netherlands. They take the time to hand mold the clay, shape it, and finish it with a range of finishes from typical ceramic colors to lusters such as platinum, gold, and ruby. We love to use Ecri as a interior design piece on its own, or we use the larger pieces to hold orchids and create a truly masterful piece. Items such as Ecri help to make us more than just a florist New York. It takes us beyond just New York flowers. It allows us to enter your home as full home decor designers, and that is a position we are proud to be in. You can find more from Ecri and other exclusive European designs from our partners at EurDecor. Or just give the source for flowers New York a call at (212) 758 7673. 

Ready for a Winter Wonderland?

Like it or not, winter is coming. I felt it when I pulled the covers off this morning...it was COLD! Just yesterday, they cut down the tree for Rockefeller Center, a proud New Jersey specimen! Thanksgiving is about a week away. Crazy how time keeps on moving on. 

Today, we have a wonderful arrangement from your New York Florist designed to embrace the essence of winter and pay homage to the beauty that still exists despite the cold. 

Preserved Winter Vase in Ecri Ceramic

This winter arrangement has a very unique benefit to the average vase. Not only is it housed in a glossy white with gold Ecri hand-made ceramic vase, but this arrangement will look just this way in 2 years time. Let me repeat that...it will still be just as beautiful without any watering, pruning, or any other maintenance in TWO YEARS!

To make this masterpiece, we use preserved flowers New York. Not dried, not fake, preserved. These are real flowers that undergo a 100% natural process and are then in a preserved state for 2 years time...after which they begin to dry out. In this arrangement, we use preserved hydrangea and gardenia. Then we use natural tree branches to enhance the look, much like looking at a forest in the colds of winter. The arrangement is placed in a Ecri ceramic vase. This vase is hand-made on the potter's wheel by artisans in the Netherlands and finished with a REAL GOLD finishing. Ecri vases and DutZ are available from our partner, EurDecor.

What do you think of these New York flowers? Do you feel the chills of winter when you see it? To see this and many more exclusive arrangements from the preferred florist New York, visit Roses and Blooms at 599 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10022 or feel free to give our designers a call at (212) 758 7673. 

More Than Just Flowers

Okay let's be honest here, flowers are beautiful. They make us happy, they smell great, and they remind us to appreciate what we have in life. At Roses and Blooms, we've been designing New York flowers and arrangements for over 30 years. However, we recently decided to expand and begin offering our customers other gift ideas as well. Why you may ask? Because we believe that when you are sitting still, you are actually moving backwards. We are always trying new things, taking risks, and making ourselves better for our customers as the preferred florist New York! 

So, now that I'm done with my little speech, here comes our latest addition to the Roses and Blooms store at 599 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10022. 

Our new "small garden area"

So in addition to our Ecri and DutZ accessory collections (which we will highlight at a future time for you) we also have our new "small garden area." This area has ideas to bring a modern garden into every New York home. Right now we are highlighting out DutZ garden balls, which add a splash of color indoors or out and our various echeveria plants which are planted in differing soils, sands, and rocks to create multiple looks to fit any interior. We are excited to bring this garden idea to our store in Midtown Manhattan and are always looking for new ideas. Feel free to share any garden ideas that you think would look great in our small garden area and we will try and incorporate those ideas in our next designs. We always welcome ideas from our customers and that is a major reason for us continually remaining a favorite New York florist! Give us a call at (212) 758 7673 with any comments or to place an order today! 

We are more than just flowers New York! 

It's the one question we all know will come at some point during a relationship..."Do You Love Me?" Well it's time to nip that one in the bud with a heart-infused rose like the one below. Not only is it a red rose, the universal symbol of love, it also has a heart in its center to make sure you're driving the point home! There are no questions left when you send a dozen heart-infused roses...that special someone will know where your heart lies and where it will remain! What do you think of the heart roses? Do you love them? 

Can you see the heart? Feel the love? 

 If you're ready to send your own heart-infused roses from your favorite florist New York give Roses and Blooms a call at (212) 758 7673 and we'll be happy to help you out. You can also drop by and see them for yourself (we promise it's real!) at 599 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10022. We are proud to be the preferred New York florist for New York flowers year over year.
