Move over, Belle Fleur and Lotus NYC. There's a new spot for tastefully simple flower arrangements: Posy Floral Design. Co-owner and designer Paula Arakas (former head designer for Michael George) teamed up with husband Stamos Arakas to open the intimate boutique (equipped with a grand piano in the back room). Posy specializes in house accounts, weddings, and other events, but street customers can have a basic arrangement made while they wait. If you really love flowers, the team will come in and decorate your house every week.

With a shared passion for flowers, husband-and-wife team Paula and Stamos Arakas primarily use square glass containers and tight bunches of blooms. Bouquets from $150; centerpieces from $100.
