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.

Using primarily clear, square, glass containers and tight bunches of your favorite flowers, their designs are simple, elegant, and modern. This high-end florist can acquire almost anything, from lavish luminaries to custom tablecloths.
