Amaryllis Bouquets for Stunning Christmas Flower Centerpieces
According to the Victorian language of flowers, the amaryllis flower symbolizes Pride, Timidity, and Splendid Beauty. It peaks in holiday month of December, making it an excellent Christmas flower bouquet or addition to your Christmas flower centerpiece. (The amaryllis is also available in all the months with an “r”: September through April.)
Hercules amaryllis sparkle in our “Bright Nights” Christmas flower arrangement – my favorite this month!
Also known as the hippeastrum or “Knight’s Star” (“hippeas”= knight and “astron”=star), amaryllis flowers have hollow stems that can produce 3-5 glorious trumpet-shaped blossoms. [Read more →]

This weekend, we participated in the Wedding Salon event in New York City. Over 2000 people attended including brides, bridesmaids, mothers, fathers, fiancé’s, friends, event planners, and so on. We had a booth and a reception table; each showcased a variety of options that we can do for weddings.
We just had a photo shoot for our spring collection of unique floral arrangements!! The flowers are fresh, the colors are vibrant, and the flower arrangements are diverse and unique. Each one of these flower bouquets has something different that caters to individual tastes, but what they all have in common is that they illuminate any room and bring a smile to anyone’s face who receives them. We have floral arrangements that range from low to high, bright and colorful to a more demure color palette, and everything in between. Spring is in full effect here at our New York City florist shop and we couldn’t be more excited!
Big Apple Florist invites you to bring some cheer and color into your life this spring and the best, easiest way to do so is by giving the gift of pretty flowers. After surviving quite possibly the longest winter (in New York at least) we’ve had in the last few years, unique spring floral arrangements cheer us up when most needed!
As we have mentioned, we feel it is important to match our unique floral arrangements according to the season, and to incorporate seasonal elements as well. Our favorite seasonal element to incorporate into our custom floral arrangements is… drum roll…. Fruits and vegetables! Plums, peaches, apples, pumpkins, squash, grapes, you name it, we can use it!
