Restaurant Flowers & Plants

Real flowers, plants, and moss for the host stand, the bar, the dining room, and the private room. Preserved, so there is nothing to water, no petals on the tables, and no weekly order.

Plan your restaurant

The dining room flowers, without the weekly order.

Fresh flowers look right in a restaurant for the first two days. After that someone changes the water, picks out what has wilted, and sweeps up petals before service. Ours are real flowers and plants, picked at their best and preserved, so the arrangement on the bar on opening night is the one still there months later. No water to knock over onto a table setting, no pollen on the linen, and little or no scent to compete with the food.

03 — How it works for a restaurant

What replaces the weekly flower order.

Plan your restaurant
  1. 01

    Placed once

    We design each piece for its spot, make it in our studio, and place it ourselves.

  2. 02

    Changed with the seasons, if you want

    A subscription brings new arrangements every two months, every quarter, or twice a year, and the room can dress for Christmas with our holiday decorations.

  3. 03

    Nothing to water

    No vases to change before service and no petals to sweep. A light dust once a week during setup.

04 — Care and lifespan

What they need, which is very little.

Lifespan
Flowers 1 to 3 years with care, planters up to 3, trees up to 5, moss walls 5 to 10, indoors.
Kitchen
Keep them out of the kitchen and away from the pass. Heat, steam, and grease in the air dull and mark them.
Light
Out of direct sun, which fades the color.
Water
None. Never water preserved flowers or plants.
Air
Away from heating and air conditioning vents. Dry hot air makes petals brittle.
Care
Dust once a week during setup, with a soft brush or a hair dryer on the cool setting held well back.

Restaurant questions

Before the flowers arrive.

Plain answers on food, care, fire rules, and the seasons.

Are the flowers and plants real?

Yes. Real flowers, foliage, and moss, preserved at their best. They are not silk or plastic.

Can they go near food?

On the tables, the bar, and the host stand, yes. They need no water, drop no pollen, and most have little or no scent; eucalyptus and lavender can keep a faint one. Keep them out of the kitchen and away from the pass.

How long do they last?

Flowers 1 to 3 years with care, planters up to 3 years, trees up to 5, and moss walls 5 to 10, indoors and out of direct sun.

How do we look after them?

Dust them once a week during setup with a soft brush, or a hair dryer on the cool setting from a distance. Never water them, and keep them away from heating vents.

Can you match our interior?

Yes. Preserved roses and hydrangeas come in a wide range of colors, and we design to your palette and your tables.

Do you do Christmas decorations for restaurants?

Yes. Wreaths, garlands, and florals in preserved greenery, installed by our studio. Book by November 13 for an install before December 1.

What about New York's fire rules?

FDNY requires decorations in restaurants to be flame resistant, and natural plant material, including preserved flowers, greenery, and moss, is combustible. Tell us your venue's requirements before you order, and we will confirm what we can supply for each space.

Do you work outside New York?

We design, make, and install from our New York studio. For a project further away, tell us where it is and we will tell you what is possible.
