Stuyvesant Plaza, the Capital Region’s premier open-air retail destination, today announced that a Saratoga-based, female-owned, floral business will soon join the plaza’s diverse mix of retailers. Samantha Nass Floral Design is set to debut in August as a pop-up store, following in the footsteps of three other Saratoga businesses that have expanded below the twin bridges.
Founded in 2014, Samantha Nass Floral Design is known for its refined, nature-inspired floral work and its thoughtful, full-service approach to events, everyday flowers, and curated home goods. The Stuyvesant Plaza location will offer a curated selection of fresh florals, seasonal arrangements, and specialty items, making it easier for new and existing customers to experience the studio’s elevated design sensibility.
“We couldn’t be more excited to see Samantha Nass Floral Design set up shop at Stuyvesant Plaza this summer,” said Rachel Ferluge, General Manager, Stuyvesant Plaza. “As a thriving female entrepreneur, Samantha brings a unique mix of European flair and personal touch to everything she creates, whether it’s a cheerful bouquet or a wow-worthy event piece. Her fresh take on floral design will brighten up the plaza and give our shoppers something truly special to enjoy.”
“We’re proud to continue the long-standing tradition of having a florist at Stuyvesant Plaza,” said Samantha Nass, founder, Samantha Nass Floral Design. “It’s a legacy of beauty and community we’re grateful to be part of.”
“This isn’t a shift in direction – it’s a natural next step,” added Nass. “A chance to grow, connect, and create in a new space while honoring the people and places that have supported us from the very beginning.”
With the addition of Samantha Nass Floral Design, which will open a pop-up shop next to Union Hall Supply Co., Stuyvesant Plaza will feature four standout retailers with roots in Saratoga Springs. Uncommon Grounds, Lola Saratoga, and Union Hall Supply Co. have already brought their locally founded concepts to the plaza, and Samantha Nass Floral Design will further enhance this growing collection of Saratoga-born brands.
