People often ask if we’re open year round and the answer is always a resounding, “Yes!” When we aren’t having a holiday, we’re still busy working. We have a huge wedding business and we spend a lot of time planning the floral details to make sure the day is flawless and every couple gets the day of their dreams. In between, there are birthdays, anniversaries, funerals and events that fill up most of the extra days. And paperwork, lots of paperwork.

As you can see, there’s not a lot of downtime.

Last week, we had the pleasure of flowering The Glimmerglass Festival’s gala fundraiser in New York City. This was our fifth year and it’s always an honor to be asked. The event is held at the Metropolitan Club, which is a beautiful and historic venue founded by J.P Morgan in the late 1800s and is still a very exclusive club to date. It seems a long way to go, but we make a fun day out of it. It is New York City, after all.
