Spring Has Sprung

Hello everyone! It's been a while, Valentine's Day was a great holiday, one of the best ever but I have let my blogging duties fall by the wayside. 

It may not look like it outside today, but Spring is right around the corner. I love Spring, it is truly a magical time for flowers. Blooms are budding, the air smells crisp and fresh, and we at Roses and Blooms are busy designing new looks for the season. I am planning on doing a series on these new designs, starting today with our new window display at the florist. I'd love to see all of you coming by to see the windows, the team has truly done a fantastic job bringing the flowers and beautiful DutZ glass together to make a large impact. Here are some pictures of the window, of course it doesn't look at good as real life though!
 

As you can see, we are embracing the less is more approach. You don't have to overload a vase with flowers when you are using quality. Just look at these DutZ clear vases. They are gorgeous on their own and putting too much in them just reduces them to something ordinary instead of celebrating the fact they are hand-made pieces from Holland. We've combined magnolia leaves, quince, and amaryllis to create this elegant, tall look. Don't you think it would look great in a hotel lobby, especially one with a more modern feel to it? I know I can think of plenty of places in New York where a large piece like this would be a sure fire hit! 

Let us know what you think of our Spring window display! We always love to hear from our customers and love using your ideas to inspire our future designs. There is no other florist in New York with a window display like ours, it is worth the trip to come by and see it, especially since this Spring display only covers about a third of the window display we have. Stay on the lookout for our continued Spring series, including a new collection of designs for the office and one of the home!

Martin Luther King's Day Gift Ideas

Good Morning New Yorkers! We're back from our trip to Holland with plenty of new design ideas that we'll be sharing with you during the coming months. Many of the design ideas were for Spring designs, so those will be coming as the weather starts warming up. 

Today I was thinking about what would make a great Martin Luther King's Day gift. Flowers are, of course, always the perfect gift for any occasion...especially from a New York florist, but which arrangements should we be sharing with our friends as ideas. I wanted something that would share the ideals of Dr. King. Hope, tenacity, peace, and fairness were the ideals that stood out to me. For hope, I decided to go with a colorful design of New York flowers that include plenty of bright colors.  

Roses and Blooms' A Perfect Day in Spring has these ideals in it, with hope for all after yesterday's nasty weather for the warm days of Spring to come. Bright, two-tone tulips we import ourselves from Holland are layered with green and white hydrangeas. A few brightly toned leaves are artfully inserted to create more depth. The look is completed by arranging it all in a mouth-blown DutZ pot in a truly Spring inspired color. I love the look of this arrangement and when I look at it, I see hope for better things to come and the brightness and layers always bring a smile to my face.

A Perfect Day in Spring - $120

My second option for a great MLK Day gift idea was the Passion vase. It is also a colorful, Spring-inspired design with cymbidium orchids, pink mini callas, lavender hydrangea, all finished with tropical foliage. It is all inside a uniquely designed DutZ pot to bring a pop to your flowers New York. See the vase below, it is available to our friends for only $99 including Manhattan delivery! 

Passion - $99
