New York City – Chapel Designers, Shopping, & Flower Market

For the past two years, I have traveled to New York City for the Chapel Designers conference for a week of everything-flower-related. Here are few of my favorite memories from the whirl-wind trip this year.

Shops

My favorite coffee/flower shop right in the heart of the flower market. This is my dream. 🙂

 

Dutch Flower Line

 

Buvette – a darling gastrotheque in the heart of the city. It was charming and served up a delicious brunch.

 

Charming…just missing a bouquet of flowers tucked inside that basket.

 

Perfect latte.

 

Buvette – You squeezed in where ever you could find a spot, if you were lucky. We brunched at the counter.

 

Buvette – our nice waiter.

 

Flowers

Hellebores just might be one of my new favorite flowers.

A fresh selection of Springs flowers for Naomi deManana’s arrangement.

David Austin’s Keira.

Variety of gerber daisy

David Austin’s Juliet.

A bouquet I designed with “extras”.

Funky variety of Grevillea.

Light pink ranunculas.

Yellow & green ranunculus.

Blush ranunculas.

Inside the cooler at the Dutch Flower Line – this sight made me giddy with delight. All the ranunculus you could ever want.
