As coproprietor of The Bridgehampton Florist, Michael Grim appreciates the care that goes into decorating the East End's many windmills.
Now that the craziness of summer is over, we can enjoy the slow changing of the seasons–the light shifts, summer fades into memories, and we move into the peaceful winter ahead. I love how there is something to look forward to every season, like the lifeguard chair being set up on Long Beach to mark the beginning of summer or the pumpkin stands that remind us that fall is coming. What I look forward to most at Christmas are our decorated historic windmills. I love how their lights make them dance and announce the arrival of a festive season ahead.
We have 11 windmills in Suffolk county alone, most of which were built in the early 1800s. Our local windmills were build in the smock mill style, named for their resemblance to a baker's smock. It is so wonderful that most of these treasures have been lovingly restored and are very well maintained.
With a business that has put up countless lights and wreaths, I can really appreciate the time and effort the village puts into adorning these beautiful landmarks. With the Hamptons being largely a summer community, there isn't the usual amount of lights and decorations that common in other towns–especially compared to my hometown in Pennsylvania, where people decorate the inside of their kitchens cabinets! It's so wonderful to see all the trimmings in the villages. Christmas here reminds me that there really is no place like the East End. – Michael Grim

TESTIMONIALS
Their Lovely Creations Have Graced My Home Throughout The Seasons
If you are looking for flowers that your guests will be talking about long after their visit, there is no better choice in my book than The Bridgehampton Florist. The moment you meet Michael and Jim, you become family. They are generous and kind, experienced and creative and are masters of their craft. From a singular bloom to a riotous arrangement, from the simplest country bouquet to sophisticated gala chic, BH Florist has no equal. Their lovely creations have graced my home throughout the seasons and over several decades. – Julie Andrews
Flower Whisperers
What a luxury to have a florist you can trust implicitly with any possible occasion! Michael and Jim have an artistic flair and magical touch that is all class, elegance and taste — with a dash of creative whimsy. In addition to their remarkably fresh and beautiful blooms, they are extremely personable, caring and loads of FUN. We just love to hear the oohh’s and aahh’s of guests enjoying their most extraordinary creations that have graced our home for over a decade. — Rob Marshall & John DeLuca
Subtle and Elegant Floral Designs
Michael is my wife’s florist and he is incredibly talented. I think his designs are subtle and elegant and don’t overwhelm my home. He is a warm presence every time he works in our home and his flowers bring happiness to my wife and family. Originally, I wasn’t interested in seeing flowers around the house, but once I got used to it and began to appreciate it then, I noticed there were flowers everywhere, but in my office. I asked why I was left out, and I think that made Michael happy that I noticed and appreciated his work. The next week and ever since, I have had small flowers in my office. – David
My Glorious Bouquet
I have been using Jim and Michael for 15+ years for the same glorious bouquet pretty much year round. Jim and Michael and my glorious bouquet were so much a part of my life that I couldn’t live without them even during major construction, scaffolding, paint tarps and all…it made that process bearable and beautiful! – Jane Wenner
Creative Genius
Thanks to Jim and Michael’s creative genius, attention to detail and masterfully breathtaking floral arrangements I have attended some of the most beautiful weddings! (most of them mine!) Fortunately, they also make the most charming condolence bouquets…so colorful and fresh, they are guaranteed to put a smile on your face no matter what! Life is always full of surprises and reasons to celebrate, and EVERY occasion is made more beautiful and memorable with Jim and Michael’s magic touch! After all, there aren’t many guaranties in life, but Bridgehampton Florist is one of them! As they say, “Life isn’t measured by the number of beaths you take, but by the number of bouquets that take your breath away” – Christie Brinkley
Fresh and Beautiful Arrangements
The flowers are fresh and beautiful and their arrangements, unusual. My weekly visits with Jim and Michael make me feel like I’m taking a stroll through the markets back home in Amsterdam! – Annette Roque Lauer
Wonderful Flower Shop
Michael Grim and Jim Osburn started this wonderful flower shop years ago, and it’s as good as ever. You can buy armloads of local flowers in the summer and beautiful imported flowers all year long. They also make gorgeous arrangements to send to that special someone. – Barefoot Contessa
