Winter Whites, Soft Greens: A Minimal Holiday Look
In-House & Off-Site Event Florals from Bat Haus • Williamsburg, Brooklyn
When the city turns crisp and lights go up, a winter white + soft green palette delivers the clean, modern holiday look that never dates. At Bat Haus in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, our in-house florals translate this aesthetic into camera-ready moments: a quiet Signature Entryway, low-and-long tables that keep conversation easy, and bud-vase lines that double as take-home favors. 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.
Why Winter Whites Work (Every Time)
Timeless on camera: Neutrals read clean in daylight and glow under candlelight.
Venue-friendly: White, cream, and soft green harmonize with wood tables and pale walls.
Flexible: Minimal for corporate, romantic for micro-weddings, cozy for holiday dinners.
Scent-smart: Easy to design with low-fragrance stems for guest comfort.
The Palette (Stems & Texture)
Foundations
White anemone or lisianthus (clean focal blooms)
Ranunculus or garden roses (soft volume)
Dusty miller / silver brunia / ruscus (cool undertones)
Eucalyptus, olive, or soft fern (movement)
Texture & light
Add depth with bleached or natural ruscus, baby’s breath in micro doses, or airy grasses.
Use clear glass and polished metal vessels for a crisp, editorial finish.
Three Core Setups (Mix & Match)
1) Signature Entryway (the quiet hello)
A low-profile focal at the door, check-in, or bar. It frames signage and becomes the first photo—scaled to be seen, not bumped.
Counts: 1 compact focal + 2–3 votives nearby
2) Low-and-Long Tables (seated dinner clarity)
A continuous runner along 8′ × 2′ tables. Guests keep eye contact; servers move easily; photos read cohesive.
Counts: ~36–48″ floral runner per 8′ table + 8–12 votives (or 4–6 tapers in drip-safe holders)
3) Bud-Vase Lines (rhythm + favors)
Repeating minis create movement across the table and become take-home favors.
Counts: 6–7 minis per 8′ table (full) or 4–5 (minimal)
Hybrid option: a short 24–30″ runner centered + 2–3 minis per side for a luxe look with flexible spacing.

Candlelight Guide (winter = glow)
Votives: cluster in 2s and 3s between florals; clear cups keep it minimal.
Tapers: add lift sparingly; use drip-safe holders and keep flames below eye level.
Safety: maintain space between flame and foliage; follow venue rules or use flameless where required.
Holiday Use Cases (What to Pair Where)
Micro-Weddings: Entry focal for vows/check-in, low-and-long for dinner, bud-vase favors to send home.
Company Dinners: Minimal low-and-long + clear glass candles; add a tight bar trio (1 compact focal + 2 minis).
Friends & Family Holidays: Bud-vase lines for rhythm and take-home keepsakes; small dessert cluster for cake or cookies.
Brand Events: Keep florals neutral; echo brand tone with a single accent ribbon, menu ink, or candle vessel—no heavy color needed.

FAQ: Winter Whites & Soft Greens (In-House & Off-Site)
Q1: Will white florals look flat in photos?
Not with texture and candlelight. We layer focal blooms (anemone/lisianthus) with soft greenery and add votives/tapers for depth.
Q2: What are the best table counts for an 8′ table?
Bud-vase line: 6–7 (full) or 4–5 (minimal). Low-and-long: 36–48″ runner per table. Hybrid: 24–30″ runner + 4–6 minis.
Q3: Can we keep fragrance low for guests?
Yes. We’ll select low-scent stems and avoid common triggers while keeping the look lush.
Q4: Are candles allowed?
At Bat Haus, we use drip-safe holders and safe spacing. Off-site, we follow venue rules and can switch to flameless if required.

Signature Entryway + minimal bud-vase lines + tea lights. Add a Tight Bar Trio for one more high-impact surface.

Yes—Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Northern NJ (select dates). We deliver, place on site, and strike; COI available.
Q7: How far in advance should we book December dates?
Aim for 4–8 weeks. We can sometimes accommodate shorter timelines depending on stems and our schedule.

Absolutely. Our programs are favor-ready; guests may take a vase home. Prefer to return vessels? We offer reuse options.
