Our Very Own Tom S. in the Rose Bowl Parade!

This year, like every year, Tom S. (Creative Director at Starbright Floral Design) takes a two week sabbatical and goes home to California.  While there he works with the organizers of the Rose Bowl Parade and directs the floral decor of several floats.  This year he helped create three floats and two of the three won major awards!

Check out the photos that Tom shared with us of his great work!  We are so proud to have him on our team!  For many of our clients, Tom has directed their weddings, their corporate events and even retail displays throughout Manhattan.  Tom is an integral part of our organization, a graduate of Fordham University, one of our most commented team members on Citysearch and just a great human being.

All of us love Tom and we love working with him.  We hope you like his work as much as we do! Go Tom!

A Simply Divine Wedding

Not all the centerpieces at the reception were tall...

The centerpiece for the cocktail hour...

Tom, our Creative Director writes about a “simply divine” wedding that we decorated about a month ago…

“Several weeks ago, Starbright Floral Design participated in an an amazing event at the Brooklyn Museum.  It was a wedding that was simply divine.   It was an incredible experience  for all of us at Starbright and it provided us the opportunity to show just what we are capable of with creativity, teamwork and patience.  From cocktails to the ceremony to the elegant reception… the evening showcased florals that were simply out of this world.

What made the evening even better was seeing our clients’ joy and delight.  Not only were they relishing the overwhelming happiness of new marriage;  they were unbelievably pleased with our hard work.  That is what makes our jobs worthwhile.   Adding to what is already to what is already one of the happiest and most memorable days in a person’s life is a true and rare gift.”

To visit with Tom, or any one of our team members about your most magical wedding day or for any other event, please call us at 800-520-8999 or visit our website at www.starflor.com.  All of us at Starbright Floral Design will be thrilled to hear from you and to be of service in every possible way.

Weddings! Destination NYC….

 

Calla-Lilly-Bouquet
A Bouquet for a UK Bride...

At Starbright we are involved with many destination weddings for brides from all over the world.  It is amazing how many folks come to New York City for their special day… One such bride wrote us a note of thanks for our assistance on their wedding day.  Included with the note was the above photo of the bouquet we created and the note in part read:

Hello Nic, I am a month overdue on this but I just wanted to thank you for taking such good care of us on our very special and first visit to New York.  Arranging the flowers for my friend was such a joy and came with such ease and I must thank you for that.  You and your team greeted me with such professionalism.  The flowers were perfect and we could not have asked for more.  I’m not sure how often you get to see your creations in action so I thought I would share a couple of pics with you.

Thank you again for the great service!

Cheers, Dena

The USS New York (LPD 21) is Comming!

USS-NYOn the 5th of November we are proudly involved in the making of history at New York Harbor.

The USS New York is coming to town and is being commissioned on the West Side of Manhattan.  The newest ship of the United States Navy has its bow stern made of over seven tons of steel from the World Trade Center.  For all of us at Starbright Floral Design it is a very special moment.  We will see the the ship rise and sail the waters of the world from what once was.

This is a special time for all of us At Starbright.  On the 12th of September in 2001 we were at the Red Cross Relief Center in Lower Manhattan and we helped provide comfort to all the volunteers who worked at Ground Zero from the very first day.  Our work there ended during the December holiday season when we decorated all of the areas that were affected.  Together with the Port Authority we did everything we possibly could to bring seasonal spirit and joy early on.

We witnessed the steel leaving the site knowing that it was going far away and never to be seen again.  Now almost a decade  later,  the memory has come full circle and we are all very proud of what has become now of what was then.  Starbright Floral Design has been designated an official “Friend” of the USS New York Commissioning Committee and we will be providing the decor (balloons, flowers) for the festivities that will be taking place at the top floor of Seven World Trade on the 5th of November.

There are many interesting, fun and historical events that are taking place over a ten day period in New York City.  We highly recommend that you join the fun and be a part of this history making event.

To learn more about the USS New York and the calendar of events surrounding the commissioning of the ship, please visit the website at www.ussny.org.  It is really interesting.

Starbright is Published in Holland!

As many of you that follow Starbright know, we were recently selected as the Best Florist in New York City by Citysearch in their “Best Of ” polling.  Well when we won this award we thanked our public.  We thanked our clients, we thanked our friends and we thanked our suppliers.  For without you and all your votes, this would not have been possible.  One more time, I take the opportunity to thank everyone for the recognition that you have given us.

Interestingly, and much to our delight,  our message of gratitude was published (in Dutch) by one of our suppliers in Holland.  This is a clip from their internal newsletter – I don’t really know what it says, but I know it is about us and I know it is good!  Read on (if you can)!!!

DeBoerIn the category of  “what others are saying about us” I really thought that this one was  kind of cool and I thought I would share!

All of us at Starbright are always thrilled to hear from you as we are always eager to find new ways to be of service.  Visit our website to get a bit of a broader perspective on our organization and the type of work that we do.  Give us a call (800.520.8999).  We will always look forward to your call… We deliver anything and we deliver it everywhere!
