Ethereal SeaGlass Carousel Opens in Battery Park

by

Manhattan’s most ethereal new attraction might also be the best new spot in the city for engagement photo-shoots. The otherworldly SeaGlass Carousel, nestled in Tiffany & Co. Foundations Woodland Gardens, is now open in Battery Park. Designer George Tsypin, whose work you may remember from the 2014 Sochi Olympics Opening Ceremony, evokes the experience of being underwater with nautilus-shaped canopy and fiberglass fish that glow and spin. A decade in the making, the SeaGlass Carousel is an instant landmark that brings a sense of magic to the city’s waterfront.

We Love: Kaleidoscopic OP Vase

Kaleidascopic Flower Vase by OP

A single flower becomes a bouquet, when placed in an OP vase by Bilge Nur Saltik. Thick, blown glass is precision-cut by hand to create a kaleidoscopic effect that multiplies a flower’s reflection. Fascinating and unique, the OP vase would be a memorable gift for a maid-of-honor, new sister-in-law, or anyone who loves to look at flowers.

Available online at Design Boom.

Are you as obsessed with floral chandeliers as we are? Hanging florals have taken over everyone’s Pinterest boards and we believe this wedding trend is here to stay. Luxurious hanging florals uplevel the entire look of a wedding. We were thrilled when bride Renee told us she was dreaming of a gorgeous, showstopping floral chandelier, for her wedding on Chelsea Piers’ Sunset Terrace in Manhattan.

Renee decided on an overall wedding-color palette of white, cream, blush and peach. We selected white and cream flowers with lush greens for the floral chandelier. A natural look, with lots of mixed texture, felt right for this summer wedding overlooking the Hudson River.

Wedding Season: Behind the Scenes

by

Floral-Design-Studio-NYC-7

Fridays in our studio are a whirlwind of activity, especially when we’re deep in wedding season! Buckets and vases of roses, hydrangea, garden roses, craspedia and lisianthus line every surface and fill the studio with their summer fragrance. Our design team checks and prepares every blossom, then meticulously assembles bouquets, centerpieces and ceremony florals for a weekend full of beautiful weddings.

There’s nothing better than working hard at what we love, surrounded by a team who puts so much care into every detail. When it comes to weddings, every petal and leaf, every pearl and every ribbon matter.

If spending time surrounded by flowers and fellow flower enthusiasts looks like heaven to you, come join the fun! Sign up for a flower class. You will be amazed at how much you learn in just a few hours. Our August class sold out fast. Next up, Contemporary Centerpieces on September 9th. We’d love to see you there!
