Holiday Parties in Williamsburg: Five Quick Floral Wins
In-House & Off-Site Event Florals from Bat Haus • Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Holiday parties move fast—doors open, coats down, first toast, dessert, dance. The trick is placing small, high-impact florals where cameras (and guests) linger. At Bat Haus in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, our in-house florals deliver that look with minimal fuss: compact focal moments, low-profile tables, and candlelight that photographs beautifully. Hosting elsewhere? We also offer off-site event florals across Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Northern NJ (select dates), with delivery, on-site placement, and tidy strike.
The Five Wins (drop-in upgrades that always convert)
1) Signature Entryway — the first 30 seconds
What: One styled focal at the door, check-in, or host stand.
Why: It frames signage, sets palette, and becomes the first photo.
Counts: 1 compact focal (≈10–12″ footprint) + 2–3 votives nearby.
Placement: Back edge of console or bar corner; seen, not bumped.
2) Bar Upgrade — tight trio or linear run
Option A: Tight Bar Trio (most popular)
Counts: 1 compact focal + 2 minis; 6–8 votives.
Why: Big visual return without blocking the pour line.
Option B: Linear Bar Run (for long bars)
Counts: 5–7 bud vases evenly spaced + 8–10 votives.
Why: Clean rhythm for wide shots; easy to reset during rush.
3) Low-and-Long Tables — conversation and service flow
What: Continuous runner that reads lush but stays low.
Counts (8′ × 2′): 36–48″ floral per table + 8–12 votives (or 4–6 tapers in drip-safe holders).
Why: Guests keep eye contact; platters and bottles move easily.
4) Bud-Vase Lines — rhythm + take-home favors
What: Repeating minis down the table or on cocktail surfaces.
Counts (8′): 6–7 minis (full) or 4–5 (minimal).
Why: Flexible spacing, photogenic beats, and favor-ready vessels.
5) Photo-Ready Backdrop — quick shareable frame
What: Grounded floral + lanterns at a wall/step-and-repeat/cake zone.
Counts: 1 low focal + 4–6 lanterns + 6–10 votives.
Why: Guests always find the “good light” spot—make it intentional.
