Greetings are written on cool stripe- motif postcards inspired by a pair of Kerry Quade's groovy pants from the '70s. Order by phone, or stop by the shop. The striped awning, old shutters, squeaky screen door, navy-blue garden bench and rose trellis outside Blue Water Flowers make Lawrence Handal and Ray LeDu's Nolita headquarters feel like a locale in Steel Magnolias. Inside, among shuttered cabinets and ivy topiaries, Handal and LeDu create compact, lush bouquets for a clientele of celebrities and law firms. Incidentally, Blue Water was an early champion of the russet-colored Leonidas rose now favored by the likes of Martha Stewart.
Gift cards come with a small bow.
