1. Summer Space Studio
Flowers of all kinds are always a wonderful gift but why not make the sentiment last with these gorgeous paper flowers? Poy Granati is the owner and artisan behind the creation of these incredibly realistic looking flowers. You can purchase a single stem or bouquet or even place a custom order. The 'You are Loved' bouquet (pictured above) is the perfect gift to show your love this season. Poy also offers online and in-person workshops if you’re feeling creative!

Dubbed "Long Island's first flower truck and digital florist", Hometown Flower Co. is a family-run business that sources all of its flowers locally from Long Island farms.

Their mobile flower truck called "Baby Blue" (a vintage 1976 Ford F-100) can even be requested for weddings and private events!
