Twilight Christmas Tours at the Vanderbilt Mansion

Every Holiday season, we volunteer to decorate a room or two at Centerport's beautiful Vanderbilt Mansion. We love creating in a place of such history and splendor right here in our own backyard. This year we chose Rosamond Vanderbilt's dressing room and created an appropriate decoration for such a space...

Our Christmas Dress built upon Mrs. Vanderbilt's dress form for the Vanderbilt Museum Twilight Christmas Tour.

Constructed of chicken wire,  greenery, pine cones, crystals and Christmas ornaments.  A blue velvet mannequin cover was created to match the colors in Mrs. V's dressing room. — Constructed of chicken wire, greenery, pine cones, crystals and Christmas ornaments. A blue velvet mannequin cover was created to match the colors in Mrs. V's dressing room.

The fireplace in the Mrs. Vanderbilt's dressing room was topped with a simple green garland and draped in crystals to compliment the chandeliers in the room and on the necklace on the Christmas Dress.

Autumn Centerpieces

This week, while dreaming up designs for autumn centerpieces, we where kicking around ideas and inevitably the idea of using a pumpkin as a vessel came up. I was skeptical immediately. Conflicted too because I wanted to explore it & challenge myself to create something beautiful while steering clear of the prototypical, FTD-esque model for a "fall centerpiece". Proud to say, I think we stayed true to ourselves and made them natural & unique.

Voila! Roses, chrysanthemums, sea grass and porcelain berries — Voila! Roses, chrysanthemums, sea grass and porcelain berries

If pumpkins are not your thing, we have many other design options for autumn, like this beauty...

These and other arrangements available to order for Thanksgiving. Call or email us for more information.

Plum & White Dahlia with Chartreuse foliage accents.

Flower Deliveries

Every week we deliver flower arrangements to a few local businesses and The most perfect August day instinctively inspired this week's flowers.

Vivid sunny yellows. Purples and oranges like a hazy sunset and sky blue delphinium.

Quintessential summer.

Farm to Barn Cocktail Party at the George Weir Barn

From its setting, at the bottom of a grassy hill peppered with wild flowers just a stones throw from the backwaters of the Long Island Sound, to its centuries old, weathered-to-perfection grey planks, the George Weir Barn is rustic beauty at its finest. Built in 1711, the barn is one of several historic buildings on the property of beautiful Caumsett State Park in Lloyd Harbor, NY.

This past Saturday, we did the event design for the Lloyd Harbor Historical Society's Farm to Barn Cocktail Party. Have a look...
