Look! Floral Inspiration from Eleven Madison Park

During a delicious lunch at Eleven Madison Park, we couldn't stop staring at the floral arrangements. A closer look revealed a DIY opportunity...

The arrangement (by Roberta Bendavid) of crabapple branches was embellished with a string of roses housed in test tubes vessels. We could see a scaled down version of this translating to the home. It's definitely elaborate, but seems possible to recreate with branches and flowers from either the Chelsea Wholesale Market or perhaps the Union Square Greenmarket, and there are plenty of online sources for test tubes... Have you ever been inspired to recreate a restaurant floral arrangement?

I love just the crab apple branches...so autumnal (I LOVE fall). I'm now feeling inspired to create a fall style arrangement for my new buffet.
