Flowers on Fifth Avenue






















This cocktail party was held in an amazing raw space on Fifth Avenue.  The space had two balconies, and from one of the them you could see Central Park.  The views of the city were stunning,  we just had to be careful to not look over the edge!

QuatreCoeur in the Press


For Town&Country, we were asked to create a sleek calla lily bouquet for the article "Get the City Look". We added accents of muscari, celosia, and interesting foliage.

For Brides, we were asked to make a few bouquets which were used on the covers. A different version of the cover went to each region of the country.  The editors' favorite was definitely the succulent and blush rose bouquet. The bouquet of red blooms was also chosen for a cover. Often I feel nervous when using red (so difficult to coordinate with other colors) so I was really happy with the results! By adding burgundy peony, fuchsia roses, rusty hellebores and anthiriums; the classic color looked fresh and unique.

We also were featured inside of the New York Brides Local Magazine Fall/Winter issue, in an article about local florists.

Photo-shoots are a great opportunity to try out new designs and experiment with unexpected color palettes. We had a great time and are very excited to have this much press all at once!

Real Wedding: Nadine & Brian































We are excited to share a few of our favorite pictures from Brian & Nadine's July wedding at The View on the Hudson.  All photos were taken by the super talented Patricia Kantozos (who we also worked with on this spring wedding).

From the very beginning, Nadine knew she wanted bright and colorful flowers, but not arranged in the typical wedding centerpiece style. This was the perfect opportunity to design something we like to call a "floral carpet".  This simply is arranging flowers floating on water, but using so many flowers that they are locked into their spot and form a landscape that is textural and interesting. Ruth and I have been long time fans of Spanish florist, Bornay, and were thrilled to get to create something inspired by her work.

Congratulations Brian & Nadine!
