Sometimes, flower arrangements arrive so stiff and contrived and packed so tightly into a tinny throwaway vase that it’s easy to forget that they are alive and natural. Not so at Polux Fleuriste. Bouquets from this Mott Street storefront are extraordinarily fresh—what you’d get at the Greenmarket if the guy in overalls understood that lowly goldenrod should be kept far away from luscious snapdragons. And they arrive wrapped in appealingly homey brown paper, stained wet from the stems. Basically, it’s a bit of country in the city—except that it delivers. Click here to Send Flowers

Founded when its two designers, David Stark and Avi Adler, were struggling painters, this studio approaches event design like a gallery installation—think globes of flowers strung around the ceiling like clouds, beds of grass with poppies "planted" in them, and entire walls covered with floral tapestries. They take care of all the aesthetic elements of an event, including furniture, lighting, and tablecloths. Regarding their prices and their clientele (including museums, celebrities, and high society), they are unfailingly discreet. Click here to Send Flowers
