It’s pretty simple: The designers at The Velvet Garden have impeccable taste. Since opening in 1995, The Velvet Garden, founded by Kimm Birkicht and Diane Munoz, has been churning out stunning florals for every occasion—from refined weddings to a simple bouquet for a friend. Birkicht’s unique artistic vision enables her to design exquisite arrangements, ranging from whimsical to restrained, and never gimmicky. Each bouquet is timeless, elegant and downright beautiful. The retail space is sophisticated and feels like it’s been sourced from another, much more elegant era—perhaps that has to do with Birkicht’s background in visual merchandising at Beverly Hills’ Neiman Marcus. Needless to say, there’s constant attention to detail in the W 3rd Street shop (there is also an assortment of wonderful gifts) and in the design studio, and you can tell. No flower goes unnoticed, and The Velvet Garden magicians can transform your flower selection into an enchanted stroke of genius—and exactly what you had in mind for that dinner party you’re heading to. Luxurious designs that are both innovative and practical. With a focus on quality and attention to detail, clients can expect an unsurpassed and un-compromised level of service.
