Floravere was founded with a mission to upend the legacy bridal industry and give a new breed of women access to luxury, style, and personalization, otherwise unattainable.
The color scheme of the space is calm and serene, making use of soft blues, whites, camels, and pops of color throughout, accented with weekly floral installations and made to order arrangements by Brooklyn based Extrafloral.
Co-founder of Floravere, Denise Jin says, “With our New York Flagship, we’ve created a retail experience that reflects how our bride actually shops: from IG to IRL. Every detail of the design – from the private bridal styling closet to the in-store retail technology – is guided by an understanding that today’s millennial woman has done most of her research on us before she even steps through our doors. This offers us an unparalleled opportunity to craft a truly bespoke and memorable retail experience for each and every bride based on the rich data we have on her before she walks in the door.”
The bride’s favorite styles she’s pre-selected online will be waiting for her in a private suite when she arrives at the store, along with personalized details such as a digital wedding moodboard and custom playlist, all facilitated through Floravere’s digital questionnaire – a crucial step in building this intimate relationship with each of their brides.
Floravere co-founder, Molly Kang says, “Until now, the bridal industry has been tethered by traditional, dated ideas of the ‘blushing bride’ marrying her Prince Charming. With Floravere, we’re creating a brand and a space that speaks to our core belief that there is no ‘right’ way to be a bride. More than ever, she feels empowered to break the rules and do things her way when it comes to her wedding – from what she wears to how she approaches the entire day. And we felt that there wasn’t a brand that spoke to this very modern sensibility. Everything we do and all our products are designed to reimagine what it means to be a bride today.”
The space is the first to offer a curated showroom for all the products a bride may need in her journey, including swimwear from Solid & Striped, travel essentials from Cuyana, jewelry and headpieces from Jennifer Behr, fine jewelry from J. Hannah and Ceremony, lingerie from Journelle, conscious beauty from Kosas, fragrance from Dedcool, and home decor from The Land of Belle.
Upon entering the space, the customer walks into the gallery that is furnished and styled to have a residential sensibility, with a wet bar, rounded velvet club chairs, a custom lacquered sculptural coffee table by Eny Lee Parker, vintage rugs from 1stdibs, a Mid-century daybed and a white sculptural side table.
In between the individual bridal suites and the gallery is the walk-in bridal closet conceived as the ultimate “dream closet.”
Floravere’s collection of gowns and separates will anchor the space and brides can set up private appointments with a stylist on the brand’s website, through Instagram direct message, and via text. The key element of Floravere’s retail approach is rooted in personalization at every touchpoint of the customer experience.
