We’re going geometric this week with our window design. The intricate elements of the straight lines and angles of the structure, mixed with the delicate shape and curve of the purple Calla Lilies and rounded bullet vases, brings about an interesting paradoxical design. We were pretty impressed by our geometric shape building ourselves!!
Last week Flowers of the World was proud to join forces for a great cause, with the Children’s Cancer Blood Foundation, for their annual “Breakthrough Ball” benefit gala. For the event, which took place at The Plaza, FOTW created a gorgeous seasonal setup of antique hydrangea, bright Protea, burnt orange Roses and Orchids, and mango Calla Lilies, mixed with swirling Lily grass and glowing raspberry votive candles. The display lit up the room for an unforgettable evening!
This week Flowers of the World was happy to team up again with Briggs, Inc., for a corporate dinner in the chic space that is Tribeca Rooftop. We created a setting that combined an elegant design of Black Magic Roses, black Calla Lilies, and burgundy Cymbidium Orchids, along with glowing votive candles, to accent the space. We knew the gorgeous arrangements helped to create a wonderful dinner setting for all!
Our workshops are back in full swing at Flowers of the World! We had a great time with all of our guests on Tuesday night at our “Fall Flowers” themed-workshop. Many Gilt City guests joined us for the first of our Fall 2011 series. Sara, our GM, and our talented team of designers taught guests how to create their own fall floral design masterpieces. We worked with seasonal favorites such as Brassica and Amaryllis, as well as FOTW faves, such as Pincushion Protea, Calla Lilies, and Hydrangea in deep rich autumnal hues.
Our next workshop is a Level II, for more advanced guests, on Tuesday, November 8, from 6:30pm-8:30pm at our 110 Maiden Lane Studio.

At Flowers of the World, one of our design philosophies has always been that one type of flower set dramatically in the right vase can have a very strong and beautiful impact. This week’s window with sunset-colored Mango Calla Lilies reclining in tall sleek cylinders is a perfect example. We love the clean and masculine lines of the cylinders off set by the striking feminine callas. The contemporary fluidity of the design inspires us!
