Santa's Elves are Hard at Work!

No matter what, I can't get the Christmas spirit out of the store. John and Kristi have been teaming up with the Roses and Blooms Elves to create tons of new holiday and winter themed arrangements. Below is just the latest to come out of the New York florist workshop!

Santas DutZ

Santa's DutZ is an elven-made boxwood tree in a mouth-blown DutZ conic vase. The vase may come from Holland but the inspiration for the arrangement is 100% from the North Pole! To bring more cheer to these New York flowers we add some mini pine cones, round ornaments, and some fancier ornaments to finish off the look. Just look at how excited Frosty and Santa are to be a part of this wonderful holiday arrangement! And it's only $145...including delivery to Manhattan! What a great last-minute gift idea. 

For the holidays, we love to create more than just flowers New York. Taking lowly greens and creating something extraordinary like our designers have teamed up to do above is what distinguishes our designers from all the rest. That is why we pride ourselves on being a florist New York...we love to be different and create things that touch people. If you are ever in search for inspiration or just want to chat about your love of flowers and other pretty things, come on by the store at 599 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10022 or give our Elvish designers a call at (212) 758 7673. 

Happy Holidays from Roses and Blooms

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Homes are lit up all around the tri-state area, Santas are ringing their bells throughout the city, and Roses and Blooms is in full holiday mode. Today we have a tour of the New York florist for you with our freshly decorated store. We will be doing more videos of our New York flowers in the future, sometimes highlighting a certain area of the store, and other times doing a walk around like we have done today.

We want you to feel like you're hear at the florist New York. But...nothing beats actually being here, so when you get a chance come on down to 599 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10022 and see the store, smell the flowers, and touch the flowers that will be expertly designed into a custom arrangement just for you.

But now for the main event...the flowers New York!

Gift Ideas

Is it just me or can it be the hardest thing in the world to find the right gift for everyone on your list? Some people are techies and love the newest gadget, some are fashionistas and the latest look will be just right. My list has many people who are nature-lovers. For them, I always try and create something myself as the New York florist that I know they will appreciate. And this year, I'm going to share my secret with you so you can do the same for those on your list.

Winter Wonderland

This bunch of cuties is a great gift for an apartment-dweller who will appreciate New York flowers. I like to stick to the less is more philosophy and just focus on quality to enhance the gift. I take 3 of the most perfect green hydrangea and place each on in a mouth-blown DutZ vase. Then I add some winter-themed twigs or branches to fill out the look. To bring it all together, I use one of the newest DutZ plates, made of glass and all hand-made in Europe as a holder for the three cuties. All together, I think this is a great gift of flowers New York. I love how it has flowers, but doesn't necessarily make the gift all about a typical arrangement. Instead, this allows me to express myself as a florist New York. Being a florist isn't only about the flowers, it's about finding new ways to create designs that touch people somehow. It really is an art form and there are many in New York who are amazing at it. Some days, I love to just walk through the city and peek in the windows and see all the inspiration that is flowing throughout the city, whether it comes from florist, fashion designers, artists, chefs, and so many others. 

You can order this Winter Wonderland gift idea for anyone on your list for only $125 at our website (including Manhattan delivery, because that's just fair). You can also drop by the store at 599 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10022 or give us a call at (212) 758 7673.

PS If you're looking for what to get me for Christmas, I'll gladly accept what I consider the most beautiful new car for 2013, the Morgan EvaGT. See a picture here for yourself.

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. 

Come see our full poinsettia garden at Roses and Blooms: 599 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10022 or give our designers a call at (212) 758 7673 to create a holiday decorum that matches your needs. We will do everything possible to ensure you are ecstatic with your poinsettia from your specialist for flowers New York...as well as plants!

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!!!
