Specializing in responsible floral and botanical event styling in the greater New York City area, Firecracker Floral Design LLC launched in 2018. My design aesthetic is the product of an educational background in visual arts and work experience in urban landscaping, container garden design, and floristry. With an emphasis on locally sourced material and seasonally available flowers, my sustainably driven wedding and event floral work is rooted in a passion for the natural world of horticultural. Each celebration is unique, and I find great joy in creative collaboration with clients in developing designs that are singular to each event.

I chose the name “Firecracker”  for a couple of reasons: For me, the word evokes a  bit of nostalgia and lighthearted fun. I think of sparklers and the summer holidays of my youth spent with family and friends. In a headier respect, people have marked special occasions with fireworks  for nearly 2,000 years. Flowers have been incorporated into the ceremonial for untold millennia more. Forms common to both flora and pyrotechnics have given us a shared vocabulary: Chrysanthemum, Peony, Dahlia, Palm, Willow, Pistil, Bouquet are all horticultural terms that have been adopted to describe fireworks effects. Between symbolism and my (usually!) ebullient demeanor, “Firecracker Floral Design” seemed to describe my business perfectly.

I look forward to bringing a little floral “Boom!” to your next celebration!”

I have over 10 years of professional experience and am always seeking to further refine and advance my skills. I have been specializing in bridal, event and editorial styling for over 5 years now. I feel so fortunate to say that my work has been donned by beautiful brides and celebrities, has been featured in commercials for Maybelline and even seen on set at Amazon studios. It is such a pleasure to work and collaborate with the finest professionals in the all over New York City!

LaParis Phillips is the owner and principal designer of Brooklyn Blooms, a boutique flower shop based in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, known for its creative and fashion-forward floral arrangements. Founded in 2017, she transitioned from a background in fashion to create unique, sustainable, and vibrant botanical designs, expanding to multiple locations.

Originally from Missouri, LaParis moved to New York for fashion but found her niche in floristry, combining the two by treating floral design as art. Known for using unusual flowers, vibrant colors, and unique textures, her designs often feature "spicy" and artistic, unconventional styles.

“Brooklyn Blooms draws inspiration from fashion, nature, and art while using flowers as the medium. Mixing textures, colors, and silhouettes applies to arranging flowers just as much as it applies to creating the perfect look. We believe that everyone is an individual and deserves to have florals tailored just for them, even down to the vessel! By using curated seasonal blooms in interesting found vases we create “beautiful things out of beautiful things” with you in mind.- LaParis P.”

“I'm a sucker for a love party! It’s a big fucking deal. Seeing my couples gather their most beloved folks together for the celebration of love is magical.

In this really tough world we need to have more beauty,
kindness, and joy.I bring my heart and passion to creating beauty for your event.  When partnering with me you will get my focus and collaboration.  From our initial consultation to the day of your event I will listen and guide you on how best to bring your vision to life.

I call my style wild crafted and asymmetrically designed with inspiration from what is seasonally available. Building relationships with regional flower growers, I strive to bring the freshest and lowest carbon footprint flowers to your event.”

Our services are available for events and installations, residential and commercial accounts, as well as daily deliveries through out the New York City area.

“Since 2012, we have worked in partnership with regional farmers to connect New Yorkers with the freshest, rarest, seasonal, locally farmed flowers. 

Our goal is to connect you with the simple, sublime beauty of flowers - the most unusual varieties, harvested at peak freshness - while supporting small farm businesses in our region who approach farming with sustainability at the center of their practice.

Whether you’re sending flowers to a loved one, shopping for yourself or need a designer for your upcoming event, we are here to provide an eco-sensitive option. Composting waste, packaging plastic-free, avoiding harmful chemicals and products is how we've operated from Day 1. 

We’ve built our reputation on quality and sourcing transparency, and look forward to helping you learn more about seasonal flowers through our subscriptions, floral design, and retail offerings.”

“I have spent the last years discovering my own voice, which is a mix between a Dutch Masters painting, the Audubon Society, and a Dolly Parton Outfit.  I’m constantly caught between ‘more is more is more’ and minimalism. I find equal beauty in the curve of a single bare branch, a lush, overflowing urn of flowers, and mounds of hot pink baby’s breath hanging playfully from the ceiling. I am inspired by everything around me and love to combine the traditional and more the uncommon together. My signature lush, romantic, organic aesthetic is influenced by nature and the untamed and ephemeral beauty of flowers, and maybe a little disco too.

Part of my desire to start my own venture was to create a workplace where my womanist ideals could be upheld. Wild is an inclusive floral design studio that supports social justice and Black Lives Matter movement with the goal of making the wedding industry and our world a safer, more representative, and more equitable place for all. It’s easy to say, but takes conscious work to uphold. I am actively participating in antiracist education and in community with like minded small businesses to stay accountable to these goals of inclusivity, liberation, and anti-white supremacy.  A portion of the total profits are going to reparations to the Black community and I volunteer at a local community garden that helps address food insecurity issues in my neighborhood in the Bronx. T.”

Garbage Goddess was founded by florist Liza Lubell (New York’s Peartree Flowers) in 2019. Liza has spent over fifteen years producing and dismantling events. Disillusioned by the amount of waste that her industry created, Liza realized she could no longer work with florals unless she meaningfully shifted the industry towards earth-supportive practices.

Garbage Goddess is a solution to the trash left behind by traditional event breakdowns. We donate used decor and compost organic waste, diverting trash from landfills.

The Garbage Goddess team relies on a constellation of freelance professionals – including artists, musicians, and teachers – who care for this work and for one another.

“Our community reaches beyond the composting center. What we don’t compost we donate, and over the years, we’ve developed relationships with donation sites like Material for the Arts and schools where event decor becomes fodder for artists, students, and educators. - Liza L.”

“I’ve been in love with baking since I was a little girl. I love creating salty or spicy updated versions of my childhood favorites. I have a huge sweet tooth myself & an incredible passion for feeding people desserts. With a vast repertoire at hand, some of the most fun is had collaborating with customers. Working with clients for their special day or night is my favorite thing to do.” - Amy B.

“Hi! I’m a sculptor, performer, and food artist based in Brooklyn, NY. After receiving an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I studied experimental music at Universität der Künste, in Berlin, on a Fulbright Fellowship. In 2016, I founded Sprechgesang Institute, a research-based collaborative for artists working between multiple disciplines, which I continue to direct in NYC.

I started aesthetically complex pies in 2020, to explore my fascination with edible art. As a visual artist, I approach the world of food from an aesthetic perspective, balancing flavor and texture with form, design, and a bit of anxious perfectionism.

Let’s take care of each other,
x Sarah K.”

“When I started Patina 10 years ago it was never about building the biggest rental business, but a service that could truly help a select few clients who really valued quality and design to do their best work. Clients who would come back to us again, year after year, and learn to rely on us for their most important events. Building that type of rare company where clients become friends, and employees become family, starts with offering a product we believe in and providing service that is truly personal and coming from folks who really do care – a lot.
