••• “Last May, the City Store at the [Manhattan Marriage] Bureau, where 300-plus ceremonies, often called City Hall weddings, are performed weekly, switched from selling real flowers to renting silk and synthetic arrangements of sunflowers, white roses and calla lilies, among others.

Wedding season was approaching and we needed to have an offering for the brides,’ said Dana Rosario, 42, the director of City Stores, which operates from 141 Worth Street. […] Ms. Rosario, the brainchild behind the program, is also the creator of the bouquets. ‘The display was empty since the real flowers were gone, so I went to the flower district and bought fake ones,’ she said. ‘Then I made bouquets to fill the space.'” —New York Times
