Tucked on West 28th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues lives something special. I went looking for inspiration for color and DIY ideas where everyone “in the know” goes for anything floral or greenery-related. I spent the morning among florists, wedding and event planners, anxious hosts, excited brides-to-be and helpful shopkeepers all with one goal in mind: to explore the thousands of species of flowers and plants to find just the perfect flower. Perfect shade of pink and purple. Perfect blooms for the perfect event.
