Walk Under a Canopy of 1,000 Flowers at St-Germain’s Weekend Pop-Up in Brooklyn

This weekend’s Maison St-Germain pop-up floral installation, created by Manscapers NY, is one of the most Instagram-worthy things you’ll ever see.

The proof is in the party. At the VIP opening, throngs of influencers, media and models clamored for limited lighting to get the perfect shot under the canopy of living elderflowers. Installed in Greenpoint Terminal Warehouse, Maison St-Germain celebrates the liqueur’s floral roots.

Now in it’s third year, the annual pop-up, which presents a different installation every year, exists and is open to the public for just one weekend. The meadow of 1,000 handpicked elderflowers, which together with the live grass covering weighs 12 tons, is suspended from the ceiling of the warehouse, allowing visitors to walk beneath the hanging blooms. When the exhibit closes, all florals will be donated to the New York charity GreenThumb, which supports community gardens.
